A Time to Every Purpose Under Heaven

In early March of this year, after writing the post, Say a Prayer For the Pretender, I asked my spirit guide Holly what I could do to ease the impact of Spiritual Vertigo. She told me that there was a disequilibrium between my human aspect and my divine aspect. She told me that there was

Slowing Down to the Miraculous

There have been times over the past few years of guided writing with my spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom that I have had repeated messages. Messages about slowing down came prior to retiring from my position as an associate professor. Messages about slowing down came two years ago as I was transitioning from

Communion: A Treasured Aspect of this Human Experience

I am so grateful for this life. It took the mud, the sun, the rain, the fresh air, to create the foundation for this life, for the lotus I am. During my morning writing with my spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom, I asked them if they could give me a focus word. The

Be a Carrier of Love

January 14, 2020, I was on Day 14 of Mark Nepo’s wonderful book, The Book of Awakening. His words of wisdom for that day suggested that the reward for loving is being a “carrier of love.” That resonated so strongly with me, so I sat down with my journal to see what my spirit guide

Rise and Bring Your Head Above the Water, Yet Again

I was reading through journals I have kept with my spirit guide Holly, and I came upon one from from December 9, 2019. I was wondering about all the health issues and family traumas that had taken place in the previous three years. Holly began with this response: The traumas and health issues aren’t about

How Does One Lessen the Impact of World Chaos?

On December 1, 2019, I was on day 177 of my 365 day challenge to write on a daily basis with my spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom. I had been hearing and feeling the cries of the world, and my nervous system was being challenged mightily. I sat down with my journal and

Say a Prayer For the Pretender

I had been hearing the lyrics “say a prayer for the pretender” from Jackson Browne’s song The Pretender for a few days, so I sat down with my journal and asked my spirit guide Holly to help me understand why I was receiving this particular message. Here is what she had to say: It would

Spiritual Bypassing? – The Bus Stop Metaphor

Six months ago, my spiritual sensibilites were triggered when I watched a video about a spiritual bus stop. There are many aspects of the video that could be helpful to those struggling with a “why me” mindset, but the bus stop metaphor itself didn’t seem useful. It seemed more like “spiritual bypassing.” The metaphor says

Synchronicities IV: Allow, and Let it Go

The words to the song from Frozen rang in my ears: Let it go, let it go, Can’t hold it back anymore. While my spirit guide Holly has spoken to me in song prior to this (Everything Comes with a Vibration, Part II – She Comes With Songs), this synchronicity was different because it was

Everything Carries a Vibration: Part I – Sensitive Receivers

July 13, 2019, I was on day 37 of my 365 days of journaling with my spirit guide Holly. She opened the conversation with the following words: Holly: Such a feeling of peace and calm this morning. Recognizing when you fall into this space is important, and so is recognizing when you are in a
