Manifestation is an interesting topic. Some people refer to it as the “Law of Attraction”. However, I don’t feel this is entirely accurate. There are subtle differences that make the two ideas distinct theories. “Law of Attraction” can be defined as “like attracts like”. Others would call it karma. The basic idea is that you…

I have been having trouble deciding what to post about today. Unfortunately, the revelation came to me this morning as I learned of the tragedy in Minneapolis. I knew I must post something. I felt it would be best to come at it from a place of spirituality. Spiritually, I grieve the loss of any…

Today as I was meditating, I received several messages. But I only plan to discuss one of them today. Nature and our bodies. Many people will say they get the most out of their meditations when they do them in a natural way. And a natural environment. If you live on acreage in a temperate…

Happy Halloween, or Joyous Samhain. Both are the same thing, just thought of differently. Tonight is known for candy and other treats, costumes and parties, and all manner of things spooky. The holiday was actually celebrated by the ancient Druids as a closing of the old year. It is considered the first holiday in the…
