Yeah, me too. This fear motivated the vast majority of my choices throughout my early twenties, and looking back, I was like a ping pong ball, violently reacting and bouncing from one thing to the next, always accompanied by the sinking sensation that, try as I might, I was turning into my parents.

My relationship with money sucks. Or at least, it used to. Thanks to help from my Guides, that suckiness has faded dramatically over the past few months, and there’s one Suckiness Removal Strategy in particular that I want to share with you here. Through a number of meditation sessions, my Guides helped me to see how impossibly …
I performed a reading last night, and midway through, this feeling of intense antsy impatience washed over me. One moment I was calmly communing with the cards and the next I felt as if I might jump out of my skin. It took me a moment to recognize that these weren’t my feelings–I wasn’t impatient with the …
I recently read an excellent book by Tara Mohr called Playing Big.

In recent months, I’ve been exploring what it means to me to relate to the Divine. I’ve been grappling with how to be in relationship to the Gods and Goddesses (one way that I see the Divine) without adopting a stance of constant supplication in a desperate attempt to win favor. This all started with an audiobook that …
In the past couple of months, I’ve been returning again and again to the difference between saying yes with a full heart versus doling out a half-assed yes with a side of resentment. The topic has been coming up in meditation, in interactions with other people, and in my internal dialogue and thought processes. To pull the issue apart a …
My adventures with money continue, and I’ve been experiencing interesting things, both in meditation and in daily life, that are shining light on my dysfunctional relationship to money and how to go about healing it.
