Two Different Paths

I offer two different approaches to help you realize your greatest potential, each with its own unique value.

My intuitive readings are my intuitive insights about your life. I imagine them much like an opportunity to sit down with your wisest self to receive the guidance it offers from its vantage point of greatest clarity. A mountain top experience from which to look at the most important themes, people and events that have, and will shape the course of your life. This unique meeting provides insight, clarity and wisdom. The fee is $150 for the traditional intuitive session, and I offer a variety of other in depth sessions, all of which you can learn about at my web site by going here.

In the integration sessions I emphasize self discovery, self realization. In these gentle ongoing sessions, I teach you to create a deep connection with the undisturbed wisdom that lives within you. We look deeply at your life and its mission. We discover together how you might experience your wisdom, insight and sanity directly for yourself. This approach is an invitation to know yourself in a very intimate and honest way. I help you to understand the insights you are gaining through your day to day living and we work on clearing away the obstacles that cloud your ability to connect directly with your knowing. These sessions are a conversation. We both listen for the deeper awareness within to guide you. We work together in building the skills that lead to a deeper and more meaningful relationship with your own inner life. Integrating or marrying of your deepest insight, wisdom and awareness into your daily life. The cost of this session is $125 with some flexibility in price for those who choose to work with me on a weekly basis. You can learn more about this path at my web site by going here.

Let me know what other questions you might have about my work and what path might best suit your dreams and goals for yourself. I would be happy to schedule a session with you whenever you are ready.

Fear is The Cheapest Room In the House. I’d Like to See You In Better Living Conditions: Intuition’s Role in Finding Our Joy.

Intuition isn't what you think it is.
Far from being some form of "logic-lite," intuition is the internal compass to the map of your own unfolding and differentiation. It is as organic and essential as breathing. Powered by a radically unconditioned and authentic view of life, it is the fresh wind that takes trite and superficial living and turns it inside out. Reshaping it, giving it juicy intent, passion and vitality. Its the skilled artist within us that can make an intricate origami crane from a disposable paper napkin at a fast food restaurant.

There are some other common misunderstandings about intuition. One is based on the very human but unrealistic expectations we have about how life is supposed to treat us. Some of the students I have worked with begin their intuition training with confusion that arises because they feel they have a right to a life of ease, free of conflict and challenge. Intuition, they hope, will give them the tools for making good on these feelings.

We've all heard dramatic stories about intuition's role in saving someone from danger of one kind or another. Maybe you've experienced an intuitive insight that cautioned you away from accepting a ride from a friend, or made you so uneasy about a seemingly positive new job or relationship that you declined. Discovering later that had you been there, injury, accident or even death might have occurred. From stories such as these many people arrive at the conclusion that developing their intuition will serve as a cosmic "vaccination" against bad things happening in their life.

The 14th century Iranian poet and mystic Hafiz said: "Fear is the cheapest room in the house. I'd like to see you in better living conditions." For many of us, living in this run down house for years on end, we see through the distorted windows of fear's biased view. The world seems dangerous and we're filled with an fear of failure. Past mistakes and disappointments hang on the walls of memory as constant reminders of life's unfulfilled promises, its unexpected losses. Each a vividly clear image of embarrassment, sorrow or loss of dignity. This fearful, small room that Hafiz talks about keeps us from accessing our inner resources for change, growth and healing. Or so it seems.

I enjoy working with people who want to develop their intuition. These people, more than most, are actively curious about their world and their place in it. They are generally sensitive and empathic and interested in what it means to be fully alive. As we work together, week in and week out, I encourage them to trust their experience and to listen to their impulses and to their inner conversations. With some students it is important to talk about how they've been limited by fear.

They tell of their own experiences of living in the "cheapest room in the house" and of their heartbreaking attempts at making do. I let them know that this kind of captivity is a very real hazard for anyone who has denied their own inner knowing. Many of these stories have common themes. Those who learn early in life to distrust the need to live inwardly directed lives, learn to follow the crowd. Eventually, right over a cliff. There is a price we pay for losing touch with our direct experience. We remain undiscovered, self rejecting and oddly unable to extract ourselves from the issues of our families of origin.

Developing our intuition doesn't mean that we won't make mistakes or be disappointed in love or brought down by unexpected outcomes. Instead, intuition promises that no matter what happens in our lives we'll discover unexpected resources, we'll be opened by new viewpoints and find fresh teachings in our daily life. Opening to our intuition's calling, we come to understand its curious nature. It isn't going to take us where we want to go. Instead, it will take us where we need to go.

Dudley Lynch and Paul Kordis, in their book "Strategy Of The Dolphin" tell a wonderful story that makes this point vividly. "A middle aged man was so progressively paralyzed by agoraphobia (a fear of unfamiliar places which often leaves its victims house bound) that he found it unbearable to go even to the supermarket. Finally, deciding that he could stand it no longer, he planned to commit suicide. He would do this by over taxing his heart through great stress, causing a hear attack. His plan was simple: he would get into his car and force himself to drive to a nearby mountain. His expectation was that within a few blocks he would be so frightened that he would be dead. To his surprise, he drove all the way to the mountain and back with no ill effects. He has remained fully cured of his phobia since."

Your intuition is part messenger and part merry prankster. Intuition is not going to be content agreeing with your every choice, but if you allow it to, it will show you ways in which you’ve been limiting your life. When we welcome intuition into our lives it begins to open the doors and the windows of our experience. It takes us outside our routine into a more energizing reality. Life regains its vividness, you’ll feel less defensive of your moment to moment experience. Learning to relax with the unexpected, you’ll find there is enormous wisdom in the choices you are guided to make.

Honoring intuition means to take seriously your own inner invitations to live as yourself and no other. Practicing wholeheartedly with intuition we relax a bit about needing to know how everything is going to turn out. We realize that no matter what, we will find value in this tender life of ours. Walking this path of "training in the middle of the fire."

Intuition: the Voice of the Soul

I’m defining Intuition as a potent form of inner wisdom, not mediated by the rational mind. Accessible to us all, it’s a still, small voice inside. It’s an unflinching truth teller committed to our well-being. You may experience intuition as a gut feeling, hunch, a physical sensation, a snapshot-like flash, or a dream. Always a friend, it keeps a vigilant eye on our bodies, letting us know if something is out of synch. We each possess an intuitive healing code within us that contains the blueprints for our health, happiness and survival of everything that is good here on earth. This code is written in a language of silence, metaphor, imagery, energy, and knowings that may seem alien until we are taught to decipher it. I want to share what I know of this code with you, although I'm always learning more. As you begin to understand its nuances, its secrets, the code will seem like the most familiar language of all, one you uttered before you ever had a memory of anything material, one that doesn't require a spoken voice to comprehend.

My expertise is as a practicing intuitive. My wish is to introduce you to practical techniques I use in my life and teach to clients and students every day about using the power of intuition to guide, heal and reveal. I'll give you skills to access vital information from meditation, dreams, and remote viewing (a way of intuitively tuning in), to make sense of your life when it's most confusing. The insights you gain from these techniques will lend reason, compassion, and meaning to events such as illness, loss, or despair that the rational mind alone has a limited capacity to appreciate. You'll be shown a method of utilizing your body's subtle energies to heal pain, panic, depression and other symptoms.

Reach back in your experience. See if you can't remember a special time when you listened, really listened, to what seemed invisible, yet felt so true. Maybe it was an inner call to enter a career, a sudden inexplicable attraction to the person you were destined to marry, or simply a strong impulse to contact a good friend you haven't seen for years. That indisputable sense of rightness is an echo of the code I'm speaking of. You deserve such insight into life. This is the kind of intuition I've built my career and personal life around. Without it, I don't feel complete. Without it, I miss the joy, clarity, and vision to positively catalyze changes in my patient's lives and my own.

This is not a fringe phenomenon. It has gone mainstream. So many of us are tired of staying numb and asleep and long for the kind of exhilaration only intuitive and spiritual awakening can bring. Come wake up with me. Begin to lift the veils before your eyes. Heaven is not some far away place, separated from life. Intuition will enable you to see the beauty, passion, and exquisite light that have always been there.

There comes a time when we must decide if we are committed to a life based on heart. If so, then with regard to healing this means coming to compassionate terms with the light and dark forces that shape us. Nothing is excluded. Remember this when you greet all the angels and beasts on your path. As your heart opens, so does your intuition. Your intuition will teach you how to see and how to love. It instills in you a renewed faith to face anything.

Awareness as Medicine

This work is medicine. Medicine for the soul. Treatment for the suffering that arises when faith is weak, our wisdom faltering, our insight dim and unclear. Like all medicine it must be taken on a regular basis, at the proper dosage and frequently enough to be effective.

If we break our leg we wouldn't dream of simply reading a book about broken legs. Nor would we expect much relief if we attend a workshop on "The Secret Behind Broken Legs." Instead, we would undertake the proper treatment and the necessary physical therapy to address the broken bone and do everything we can to promote healing. Our inner lives are exactly the same. There are no books to read, no miracle cures. No magical answers, or "Big Time Changes." No "once-and-for-all" magic potions, no cookie cutter answers that once discovered changes everything.

The medicine we need when seeking integration, inner change, growth or inner healing is more like learning a foreign language than learning to ride a bicycle. It requires regular practice and daily usage if we are to benefit from its guidance and grace. Becoming fluent in our uniquely personal language of inner truth is essential if we are to develop a direct and intimate relationship with the innate awareness within us. This is the way that heals.

Radiant Awareness: Resting in The World As It Is

The practice is of developing complete acceptance of the way we are, the way life is, and of all situations, emotions and people. We use this practice of acceptance to discover a basic goodness or inherent clarity of awareness.

How we do this is through the cultivation of unconditional friendliness towards our moment by moment awareness.

Letting go of the story line and opening up to what is: To the people in our lives, to the situations we’re in, to our thoughts, to our emotions. We have a certain life, and whatever life we’re in is the perfect vehicle for us to wake up to our undisturbed wisdom. This is what is meant by Awareness As Path.

This vehicle doesn’t tell us what is true or what is false. It just encourages us to find out for ourselves by paying close attention to our moment by moment experience..

The everyday practice of Awareness As Path is simply to develop complete acceptance of all situations and emotions and people as you experience them in this moment.
