​​Almost thirty years ago, I found myself in ICU with my baby son who appeared to be dying on a breathing machine. Something in me dropped away spontaneously...the fear, the neediness, the attachment to the outcome, all the judgment. 

 

I was living a mother's worst nightmare, yet I felt the most sublime Peace I'd ever felt before or since. My whole perspective had changed, too. I felt pure Love and Freedom and no resistance. Whether my baby recovered or left through death of the body, I only wanted what he/his soul wanted. 

​​

It took years to integrate that experience, but somewhere along the way I got the lesson: Life offers us a never-ending conveyor belt of problems, but Peace does not come after we fix them all, if we even could. Peace, as I had been shown, is independent of external situations.

​​

Peace is a state of consciousness. 

We can be at Peace even in the midst of chaos.

I've spent the last three decades since learning about the mind and spirit and how to undo the "sufferer" within. ​​​​​​​​Yes, really bad things happen. I'm not talking about denial or disassociating from how we actually feel. I'm not talking about retreating from life, burying heads in the sand, or plastering positive thoughts over our negative ones.  ​

​​​

I'm talking about:

• Letting go of attachment and the need to be right.

• Understanding projection and how what we "see" is often driven by what we unconsciously fear/resent/blame.

• Learning to allow the energy of emotion when it arises so that it can be healed/released without believing what the inner "story teller" will always tell us about why we feel what we feel and who's to blame.

• Cultivating Trust.

​​​

For the last seven years, I've offered and taught to others what helps me. Reiki helps by restoring our calm, clearing energetic blocks, helping us tune into spiritual wisdom, and bringing us to more clarity. I sometimes recommend hypnotherapy to clients when it seems helpful to safely return to the past to process old beliefs and emotion that went into lockdown.  Spiritual coaching is woven into sessions as invited by you, or we can do a two-day deep dive.

​​​

I'm very practical! This is very practical!

​​

The famous psychologist Carl Jung said all problems after age 35 are spiritual. When we prioritize Peace in our lives and do the work to learn and deal with ourselves in a new way, the magic happens. We start to see that even the problems change --

 

We know the steps to fix them, they don't bother us anymore, or they just simply resolve on their own.

 

​​​So let's get real. Let's get honest. Let's own our experience.

 

And then let's show up, day after day, for the master class that is this lifetime Right Now.​​​​​

​

​Book a Reiki session with me for some quick relief. If you like the session and you find this letter resonates, consider working with me on a more regular basis.

​

We are all in this together, and I wish you lots of Peace.​​​​
