Scent and Creating Sacred Space at Home
In the first article in this series on using the senses to create sacred space at home, I explored using sound to enhance the atmosphere of your home. I started with sound because as a musician, sound always feels like the most important consideration in any space. However, as I researched for this article on…
Read MoreSacred Sound – Enhance Your Home
Let’s talk about how to use sound to create a more restful and sacred environment in your home. After a long day at work, ferrying kids, doing errands (or all of the above), you are ready to be home. Loaded with bags, purse, mail, and whatever else, you unlock the door and walk into your…
Read MoreMoving Cross-Country with Less Stress
Let’s talk about the critical three weeks of moving cross-country: the week before Moving Out day, the cross-country drive with pets and critical worldly goods, and the week after the moving truck arrives as you sort your life into a new abode. I have to start with a disclaimer: This was NOT a stress-free, tranquil,…
Read MoreMindful Moving: Packing with Purpose – Part 3
My trusty countdown app tells me that it is 10 days until the moving truck arrives to shift our lives from Los Angeles to Boston. Labor Day weekend was an intense packing experience. We made multiple trips to the U-Haul store for boxes, tape, and packing materials. We sorted through our stuff, boxing up our…
Read MoreTransitional Sacred Space Amidst Chaos
Mindful Moving: Transitional Sacred Space (and why you need it NOW) – Part 2 It’s less than three weeks to Moving Day.

Read MoreDivine Writing: A Two-Way Conversation
In my article, “Divine Communication: Not Just for Mystics and Crazies”, I talk about my life path that led to my soul-altering practice of Divine Writing to my Creator. This is a two-way conversation that daily amazes me with the insight, depth, and compassion expressed by my Creator. Since I published that article, I have…
Read MoreLife Transitions: Channel the Power
Why are major Life Transitions such a big deal? Because, fundamentally, humans don’t like change. We like the stable predictability of our world. Granted, we each have different comfort levels around change, but once we decide what degree of predictability is comfortable for us, we like it to stay that way. If you are reading…
Read MoreMindful Moving: Empowering the Transition-Part 1
Mindful Moving, Part I – Visioning the Move (30 days to Moving Day) I looked at my wife from across the room. The job offer was fabulous. She had the opportunity to do the work she had dreamed of for so long in a place that we longed to live. Were we ready for some…
Read MoreCrown Chakra – Optimizing Body and Home for Wisdom
The crown chakra is located at the topmost part of the head. It is our energetic connection to the Universe. It allows us to tap into the energy of the sun, sky, and stars. At this point, our bodies complete the circuit between the earth and the heavens. It is associated with our spiritual energy, drawing…
Read MoreNature and Sacred Space – Bring the Outside In
I’m on retreat at Ring Lake Ranch, an ecumenical retreat center in the mountains of Wyoming (just southeast of DuBois). This is my second time coming here, and I have spent the last week unwinding into the rhythm of tending horses, mealtimes, horseback rides, hikes, and naps. The awesome beauty of nature meets the eye…
Read MoreDivine Frequency – How To Tune In and Get in the Flow
Most of the time, writing my blog comes easily to me. I have a ton of ideas floating around my head. (What’s difficult is deciding which one comes next!) But today, I was struggling to get into my “flow”. I couldn’t seem to tune in to the Divine Frequency. My wife and I are preparing…
Read MoreThird Eye Chakra – Intuition and Networking
The sixth chakra, or Third Eye Chakra, is located in the center of the forehead. This chakra is associated with vision, intuition, and insight. It contains the energy that fuels our dreams at night. It is the seat of our own self-identity, as we turn its powerful vision inward to perceive ourselves. The Third Eye…
Read MoreThroat Chakra: Healing your Creative Spirit
The Throat Chakra, located at the base of the front of the neck, is the energetic seat of creativity and self-expression. From this point, we are prompted to speak our deepest truths and to put our energy back into the world in the form of our creative efforts. When this chakra is healthy and balanced,…
Read MoreDivine Communication – Not just for Mystics and Crazies
I recently posted an article about the Law of Attraction and how it relates to the Divine Presence (you can read it here). It seems natural for me to also talk about how I have learned to perceive the Creator, and to share with you the path I took to this means of divine communication.…
Read MoreHeart Chakra and the Family Area of the Home
The Heart Chakra (fourth chakra) is, not surprisingly, the center of our energetic ability to give and receive love. Located in the center of the chest, it also serves as the halfway point of the chakra spectrum. It is here that the earth-focused energy of the lower three chakras meets the sky-focused energy of the…
Read MoreLaw of Attraction: Busting Myths about the Divine
I’m bracing myself for the flamethrowers in this article. Yes, I’m talking about the Divine and the Law of Attraction. How do I know that what I’m about to say is going to upset the apple carts of some of my readers? Because I had to move past all of these limiting beliefs to find…
Read MoreProsperity, Feng Shui and the Solar Plexus Chakra
Located in the area around our upper abdomen (below the rib cage, but above the navel), the third chakra is the center of our sense of self, our self-awareness and our identity. It is the place from which we must breathe to be fully alive. It is the “furnace” of energy that fuels our will…

Read More6 Ways to Stay Positive when the News Cycle is Sh*t
Are you finding it difficult to keep your energetic vibration high when the news cycle makes you feel sick?

Read MoreCompassion and Decluttering
There is a trend in the decluttering world to “conquer” or “attack” clutter. This is not helpful. Compassion is a far healthier choice, and build positive associations with the act of decluttering instead of negative. We made choices to take these objects into our home. At one time, they filled a void, meant something, served…

In the early stages of learning how to make the Law of Attraction work in my favor, I experienced a lot of frustration. I seemed to have no problem manifesting small things, but when it came to the big things, success was elusive. Keeping my positive energy up, I was visualizing like crazy. I was…

I was visiting my oldest and dearest friends, who have two grade-school aged kids. As bedtime drew near, I sensed a weariness in my friends, as the battle to put away belongings that had been strewn about the house ensued. It was obvious that this struggle was a regular occurrence, and it took a substantial…

This is the first in a series of posts that make connections between the chakras of the body and the areas in our homes as defined by the feng shui baguas. Don’t worry, I’m going to define every single one of those terms with no room left for confusion. But before I dig into the…
Read MoreLaw of Attraction – 8 Tips to Prove it WORKS
The Law of Attraction, like the Law of Gravity, is always working – even if you don’t think about it or believe in it. Law of Attraction is based on the theorem that we attract more of the things that capture our attention. However, if we sustain that attention for a period of time and…
