New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
For years I've contemplated the possibility that many of our current life challenges are carryovers from things that we experienced in our past lives. That's where energy healing and past life work helps to clear out unwanted influences and help us live more peacefully. I spent years of my life believing that the stuck energy I released within myself had ties to my past lives alone. After developing Genealogical Regression over twenty years ago, I guided people into spaces to send light to their ancestors. Back in the early 2000's, that work was quite rare, though nowadays more people have awakened to the fact that our thoughts and feelings are very much related to the experiences our ...
Much has been expressed in New Age and esoteric teachings about letting go of things that no longer serve us: people, material things, a job, our beliefs, etc. But as a creative being, you will manifest, collect, and attract people, things, and ideas worth holding on to, keeping precious, safe, and secure.

So when I think of a mother figure, of an energy that is nurturing and powerful, it is Nature that inspires me rather than any doctrine. And the mother ...
Do you ever doubt yourself? Wonder whether you're worthy? Think about how you are accepted by family and friends? Do you see your friends doing the same and wonder why? I have had those doubts myself throughout my entire life. To be honest, society planted some of those insecurities within me. I couldn't light the candles on our church's altar because I was a girl. Every man I knew, from the janitor at my grammar school to a contractor who's currently doing work on my house, has called me dear/honey/sweetie and thought me dumb because of the color of my hair.
