One day, a mother of four young children visited a spiritual teacher who lived in her city. She had heard about this teacher from her friends who were taking her classes. They were amazed at the information and meditations she was teaching and a few of them had reached their enlightenment.

What is Enlightenment?

The very short answer to this question is that Enlightenment occurs when the soul experiences a reconnection to the oneness and knows itself to be a part of the Oneness and not a soul living in separation.

You came in with a plan and a purpose of where you wanted to go and what you wanted to accomplish. On a soul level, it chose where you were going to be born and into what family, religion and societal structure. You chose people and experiences that would both support you and challenge you on your journey through this lifetime.

What is Practical Spirituality and what does it look like?

Practical Spirituality means bringing awareness and consciousness into everything you do. It is understanding that spirituality isn’t confined to when you meditate, practice yoga, attending a church service or whatever practice you consider to be spiritual.

My mother was a storyteller. For as long as I can remember, and especially as I got older, she would sit at the end of a visit and share stories from her childhood. The stories she told gave me wonderful insights into her life and what shaped her to become the mother I knew.

A few years ago, I was invited to dowse a home and property. During the process of dowsing the home, the owner informed me that their pet dog constantly ran away and would be gone for hours.

When dowsing the property, I found several geopathic stress lines in the backyard and a negative vortex.

A few years ago, I read an article about a cat named Oscar who lived in a nursing home and had the ability to predict the passing of a resident. A few hours before someone died, the cat would curl up with them until they passed.

So with the map laid out on the table in front of me, I ‘tuned into’ the energy of the city and asked my dowsing rods where it would be beneficial for us to begin our search for our new home. I trusted my dowsing rods as they pointed me in the direction of the western suburbs.

I have always loved dying Easter eggs.

I especially remember the colors of my childhood, before the new designer colors. These were the soft, gentle colors of spring … soft blues, yellows, greens along with pink, lilac and aqua. These colors have always reminded me of the tenderness of spring as the world around us comes to life.

Imagine your home in a valley surrounded by tall weeds blocking any light that might have come in. The dowsing of your home not only removes the weeds but elevates your home to a higher elevation where more light can enter your home. It’s like bringing your home to the top of a hill where light can enter from any direction.
