What is Spirit?

Earlier this week one of my students astutely asked me to explain what I meant by Spirit. My reply: ‘Spirit is anything that elevates. Like a bouy, Spirit lifts us up to gain clear perspective. It allows us to have the inner peace that surpasses the thinking mind’s understanding. It leads us to trust our intuition. It leads us to the Divine within.

That Which Sets Us Free

Ultimately, Spirit, or that which is Spiritual, frees one to be one’s authentic Self, the Self in which one’s eternal essence, beauty, healing and creativity thrive. It is not religion, rather a dynamic and active force that breathes through the multiverse and within each of us. When one is connected with it in awareness it can become one’s religion. Spirit connects us with Source. It does not shame nor hurt. It elevates the true unique Self into being.

Beneath the Surface

This lunar eclipse invites us to go beneath the surface to our connection to all that inspires, no matter what the circumstances ... and to find ways to communicate this awareness with our deepest beliefs and with each other.

Gratitude to Teachers

What an auspicious time to reflect upon the teachers who have had the most transformative effects on on our lives - a time to show our gratitude.

Happy Full Moon illuminations friends!

Truth Illuminated About Intelligence

Such good news - A clear example of what this Full Moon eclipse uncovers that has been hidden/suppressed for so long. This full moon is in the archetypes of Gemini and Sagittarius. Both relate to the mind and intelligence - the cognitive and intuitive, respectively.

Certainly in my earlier years, high I.Q. scores among children of color were ignored, dismissed and suppressed - because all it takes is one example to disprove an exiting social theory, or any theory for that matter.

It is not that I feel I.Q. tests are the paramount measure of intelligence. I do not. However, given that a child’s life trajectory is disproportionately measured by this device, it is encouraging to to see this acknowledgement of the “intelligence” of these children of color, however within the degree of paucity.
