What to See and Do in SEDONA—A Travel Story

I felt lucky as I hopped on a plane from San Diego to Phoenix, Arizona, a quick and easy one hour and fifteen-minute flight. My friend and I were traveling to meet up with another friend of ours who would be connecting with us in that area. It was the second time in the same year the three of us were able to take a trip together, making it a rare and special event. Earlier in the year we had found ourselves in Jamaica for my friend’s destination wedding. When…

What to See and Do in Sequoia National Park

Sequoia National Park was somewhere I felt intuitively drawn to visit…it was one of those inner urges that continued to gain momentum, making it impossible not to listen to. I knew it wasn’t simply about being in a forest, or nature, because that wouldn’t have had the right vibration I was seeking… It was specifically the giant redwoods that I felt called to visit.

Energy is working behind the scenes of EVERYTHING

In this post I want to talk about holding your vibration high and helping raise the vibration of the people around us, as well as ourselves.

Gratitude for Thyself

Recently, I attended a chakra healing sound bath for the third eye chakra.

As I lay there on my yoga mat taking in the healing sounds and vibrations of the crystal bowls and gongs, I had the thought to call on the Ascended Master Quan Yin (aka Kuan Yin) to release karmic debt…

The Art of Being—How to Be Present in the Moment

I had spent the night at a relative’s house who lived near the beach. The next morning I was sitting out on the patio by myself. It was a sunny day with an ocean breeze, and I sat there gazing out across the coastal landscape to the crystal blue ocean about a mile or so away. I didn’t have anywhere to go or anything to do. It was peaceful, and it felt good just being there in that moment. Without necessarily having to go into a meditation, just being there…
