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

Two Years Down the Road

Two years ago, on my 69th birthday, I was thinking about the many and varied choices and experiences that had brought me to the person I was and the life I was leading. It was Day 224 of my 365 day writing challenge with my spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom. Here is what

The Gifts and Challenges of Each Lifetime

As anyone who journals and takes the time to re-read those journals, we are able to see ourselves change and grow across time. For those of us who communicate with a spirit guide or other energetic being in a journaled format, those journals hold an opportunity for us to see how that guidance has helped

Rise and Bring Your Head Above the Water, Yet Again

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

Angels Along the Road, Part III: The Hypnotherapist Next Door

Toward the end of 2021, my spirit guide Holly and the Collective Wisdom started telling me that that I needed to pay attention to the gifts that were right in front of me: Some people are the “grass is always greener” types. And some people overlook the low-lying fruit with an eye on the fruit

Everything Carries a Vibration: Part IV – Vibrational Healing Modalities

A couple of months ago, I became curious about the role of vibrational modalities in my healing and wellness routines. Two years earlier, I had read the book Energy Healing: Essentials of Self-Care by Ann Marie Chiasson, MD, and she suggests the important role vibration plays in our healing and wellness. In fact, she says

Holly and the Collective Wisdom: Their Guidance Expands My Awareness

Two years ago, on Day 76 of my 365 days of journaling with my spirit guide Holly, I wrote about a young client who I suspected had auditory processing issues. Holly gave me this suggestion: Holly: Listen to him read to see if there is a big discrepancy between his excellent reading comprehension and his

Tapping Into the Collective Wisdom

Over the past few months, my spirit guide Holly has been suggesting that humans have the ability to communicate with those who have “crossed over” in far greater ways than I had imagined. She tells me that this is not just about communicating with friends and loved ones who have died, but also with others
