I’m awake, great, gifted, special…just ask me! Chronic narcissists over-inflate their accomplishments and experiences in order to appear more powerful, attractive, important or successful to others. They will always speak of all their accomplishments and lead with “this is how I believe” or “this is what I’ve accomplished”; “here’s a sample of my work” or “I’m a member of Mensa”; “I’m the president of …” The reality of the narcissist, however, is that they feel empty and unloved when you do not buy into this false-image. They fear that they...

Can you imagine telling a combat vet with PTSD that their struggles are just about their attitude? Victim-blaming is a pervasive cultural pattern that further wounds those already reeling from trauma. And contemporary spiritualism is participating in this damaging behavior. This erroneous perspective claims that “there are no victims” or that your problem is only about your attitude. While the commonly used inspirational catch-phrases may sound empowering at first glance, these myths are harmful, destabilizing and re-wounding to the...

The fall-out from living with someone who has a personality disorder, specifically Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), is all too real. Some call it Narcissistic Victim Syndrome (NVS), Trauma-Associated Narcissistic Symptoms (TANS), or Post Traumatic Narcissism Syndrome (PTNS).While not yet officially written into the DSM-V, we know that people who have lived with an individual with Narcissistic Personality Disorder will often experience lasting symptoms that impact their self-esteem, emotional stability, physical health and overall...

I am a highly sensitive person. I was often teased for this and not because anyone was necessarily mean, they just did not understand my intense responses to life. And neither did I. It wasn’t until graduate school, that I came across Dr. Elaine Aaron’s research identifying the Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) as a naturally occurring phenomenon, describing approximately 18% of the population. HSP’s are often misunderstood for experiencing the world far more forcefully than at least 80% of humanity. You see, our brains work differently. We...

Compassionate Listening is an art. When offered through the heart of compassion, listening has the power to transform all concerned. Most people have not been taught this art. Most engage in listening through the filter of judgment and shame. Patterns of Judgment/Shaming when it comes to listening, include: Hearing someone’s emotional pain as complaining. Trying to deflect or talk them into seeing things differently. Attempting to “pump them up” or shift their focus. Shutting them down; walking away. Listening in this...

Ever feel like you’ve lost your MOJO or you cannot get over an incident? Perhaps you feel like no matter how hard you try, you cannot seem to move forward or feel better, even when you’re doing all the right things or it seems like you “should” be able to do so? You may be experiencing Soul Loss. Soul Loss is understood within the indigenous cultures of the world as a response to trauma. Within this framework, trauma is viewed as impacting the essence of the soul by fragmenting to protect the individual from absorbing...

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been receiving guidance from high level beings including Angels, Masters and Divine Guides. These guides have saved my life, taught me about esoteric concepts, brought me through layers of awakening, guided me into extraordinarily fulfilling experiences and urged me to serve as a shamanic medium nearly two decades ago. For a long time, they have been giving me information about the world’s evolution and details about world events. So much of what they told me so long ago, has not only happened,...

Grief is a natural, healthy response to a significant loss. We may experience grief when we lose a loved one to death or go through a big change in life such as a divorce; family change; loss of a friendship; major job change; school change; breakup; health challenge; miscarriage; death of a pet; or trauma. Any significant change can trigger a grieving process within us. Grieving may mean that you experience challenging and unexpected emotions including intense shock, anger, disbelief, confusion, guilt, and profound sadness. But grief is not...

My daughter just sent me a link to a talk show that focused on psychic mediums as frauds who prey upon the innocent. She loves the show and was disturbed by what she saw. While we know that there are people within all professions who manipulate and betray others or who are just not good at their work, those exceptions do not represent the majority. Imagine highlighting a show on all the doctors with malpractice suits, who either knowingly or unwittingly hurt the innocent and then using that handful of the profession to insist that all doctors...

As we expand into the higher consciousness of 5D and beyond, the middle world is collapsing and so are all its false systems. I have shared previously about how this shift includes the empowerment of direct revelation for the ordinary seeker. What used to be available for a select few, is readily possible for every person to experience. Spirit and the pure light of G-d can be known without an intermediary. This expansion of light means the age of the false Guru is dying. One such example is John of God. The renowned healer from Brazil who is...
