Illuminating the Darkness

Perhaps we are only afraid of the dark because we have forgotten or become somewhat separated from OUR LIGHT!?!

Imagine yourself, walking through a forest during the day. You see and hear birds and little creatures living their lives ... seeking food, sunlight, shelter. Perhaps you feel a kinship or peace within nature and you feel so alive "in nature".

As the sun begins to set, beautiful shafts of light make their way toward you. You notice that golden hue and accept the sun's "goodnight" kiss.

The Amazing Benefits of Healing Childhood Pain and Trauma

... and Releasing Self-Limiting BeLIEfs!

Do you …

• have a conscious knowledge and bad memories of childhood trauma, neglect, abuse, shaming, or abandonment?
• feel like SOMETHING's MISSING in your life, but “on paper” you’ve got it all?
• feel like you SHOULD be happier? You’d like to be happy but cannot easily laugh, feel awe/joy/ inner peace?
• feel stalled or stuck in some way? You cannot pinpoint what your next move should be or have TROUBLE MAKING DECISIONS?
• find yourself SELF-SABOTAGING RELATIONSHIPS? You shut down when things get “too real”?
• feel really angry much of the time? Feel like you cannot love yourself?
  
• observe that your EMOTIONS ARE sometimes really EXTREME? Someone says or does something most people would consider minor, yet you respond with or feel extreme rage, sadness, frustration, rejection, loneliness, (fill in an emotion of upset)?
• “suddenly” find yourself sick or have developed a MAJOR DISEASE, despite eating well and taking care of yourself? Perhaps you even developed an illness in your teens or earlier?

Being traumatized in your childhood or not being nurtured in a way you needed/craved may be at the core of each of these circumstances and conditions. Understanding the role of the inner-child can help us to both identify with and step-up to a greater version of self.

MultiDimensional Healing ~ Mind, Body, Spirit, Emotions

The Myriad Aspects of YOU

In my spiritual counseling and healing ministry, I see us energetically, emotionally, and even to an extent physically, like these Russian (Matryoshka) Nesting Dolls. In this sense, we are complex, multi-dimensional and multidimensional. Even our experiencing of life is not only in the present moment. Sometimes we are living through the eyes of past woundings and/or future tense fears or beLIEf in lack. 

Do you know where the myriad aspects of YOU stand? It's important for us to look at

7 Tips for Building a Strong Marriage

While it’s an accomplishment to achieve a long marriage, there are more measures of success than years alone. My husband, Joe, and I have been married for 40 years, 39 of those years blissfully. Statistics show that many marriages end in the early years, and we most certainly could have been among those as I nearly self-sabotaged this relationship in our fifth year of marriage (more on that later).

Perhaps you’ve heard that 50% of all marriages end in divorce? This statistic was true in 1980 (the year we married) but, since that time, the divorce rate has been on the decline. You’ll find many updated statistics online (interestingly they are largely served up by divorce attorneys). Philip N. Cohen, a sociologist at the University of Maryland College Park, notes that from 2008 to 2018 divorce rates among women fell by 18%. (1)

Our focus and obsession with divorce can ultimately be a large part of the problem. It was for me. READ MORE

Chaos Creates Expansion and Room for Reorganization and Balance

There is expansion, symmetry, balance, love, light even amid what some might call "chaos" or "a crisis". There is no need to "rush in to fix things"! Our first reaction will likely not come from a place of love; we may respond with fear and finger pointing.

But we are each/all co-creating what we see, what we experience, what we feel! We cannot change that creation until we see all of its sides in 3D. We have to understand that what benefits only a few, likely hurts many. If, individually, we want a world that is better for us, we have to create a world that is better for all.

Love thy neighbor as you love thyself because when we hurt another, we ultimately hurt ourselves, We may not see that in this moment, but it will follow us through all time/space ... in Time all Truths will be Known.

Finding Peace Through the Ebb and Flow of Life

I sat down in dawn’s early light to make notes for the attached video from my FB Live Wellness Moment. As the sun came through the window, this beautiful rainbow illuminated my note pad. I took it as a sign of LOVE, assurance, trust, gratitude … peace.

Life/nature shares signs of positivity. How often do we miss these light-filled signs?

All Is Well

For much of my adult life, I missed life’s signs that All Is Well. I based my happiness upon what the media was telling me, what I perceived to be the rejection/acceptance of me by others, how busy I was … heck, even based upon whether the sun was shining or it was raining.

Eventually, I started to see the balance of life. I opened my awareness to rain’s gifts upon all life in our world. Now, when I initially perceive a negative situation, my Higher Knowing moves me to seek out and find the gift. This is a huge win-win strategy for finding peace and understanding that in each moment All Is Well!

GO! Fly Free! Life IS Going According To Plan ...

Imagine one thing ... just one moment you've felt REJECTION or LOSS ~ Open your seeing of that moment as your life path's auto correct, meant not to root you, but to shift you ... GO! Fly free! Love, Kristi

There are many times in our lives when situations seem to change beyond our control or even beyond our worst imagining. We may experience this as (1) the loss of a friend, family member, lover, (2) being passed over for a promotion, living arrangement, deeper relationship, (3) having a physical accident and injury, or (4) getting very ill mentally or physically.

Human nature and prevailing Western culture whines "why did this happened TO ME?" Yet our expanded awareness shows us that "this may actually be happening FOR ME!" How can loss and rejection of those we love, jobs that support us, living arrangements that seem to be working be happening FOR YOU, you may ask?

Perhaps rather than being comfortable and safe, or perhaps because of that, these placid life circumstances may not actually be serving your strengths, your higher quest for soul growth, your ability to touch others' lives, your evolution toward unconditional love!

Life Evolving Beyond Fear ~ Return to Center

I am offering 1/2 hr phone sessions for Emotional Calming/Light/Love                            207-216-0473

"Life Evolving Beyond Fear" illustrates our forward-upward
movement, in unity. Rather than being consumed by fear,
we are being offered choices and the power to BE
light, love, trust, compassion, hope
in spite of and above fear!

Hello friends,

I sat down to create an image on 3/10 and "Life Evolving Beyond Fear" emerged. Use it to help identify and release fear and obsolete programming as we ascend toward a new, more global, and empowered consciousness. Other tools and suggestions follow.

As the snake sheds its skin, we can shed what is holding us back
from embodying love, light, compassion, hope, faith, trust!

It is prudent to follow safe hygiene guidelines, but it's best to do so without fear. Fear is an anti-building block within own auto-immune systems, within our relationships and within our world! Rather than lament cancellation of plans, events, even work, take this time for self-reflection, healing, and evolution beyond fear.

Reflect on where you are/have been living, emotionally and vibrationally.

Life's Transitions, Empowering YOU!

Often inner strife is due to reality being far removed from what we wanted to happen or thought would happen ... the friendship you thought would be everlasting, a league of friends you vibe with, the optimal job of your dreams, a living arrangement that seemed like "the perfect fit". Why do we experience endings?

If you're like me, when you have a "good thing" you want it to last. This may rarely happen in the "real world". These transitions make sense when we understand that we EACH are on a journey of growth and expansion. Our evolution may be incompatible with our quest for stability and/or longevity of engagement with a person, place or situation.
