Channeling As Part of My Spiritual Practice
I often wonder what people think of the term channeling. The way I experience it, channeling is easiest described as being a bridge for a transmission of energy – whether that is a feeling or set of ideas. It might be an old, new or strange idea to you, but read on and I’ll tell you what pulled me into being a channel and share a message as well about each of us sharing our unique gifts.
Trusting your Creative Spark
When there is a desire to do something that sparks your joy, it is meant to be brought into form. It is meant to be realized.

The Itch I Can't Scratch
This perfectly describes the last several months. The feeling that things just aren’t right, that it has just been a very bumpy ride. For me this has caused a tremendous amount of anxiety and a desire to eat desserts, smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol (all things I don’t do that much.) It’s like I have a constant itch that can’t be scratched.
The Benefits of Anger
Instead of talking about getting rid of anger I want to outline some of the benefits. Anger is often seen as destructive, but sometimes destruction is necessary.
It's Only 90 Seconds
Strong emotions don’t need to be feared or removed. When I finally allowed myself to feel my feelings, I discovered that they passed quickly and, even if I cried or screamed aloud, they weren’t harmful.
