Integrated Soul Healing in Wilmette and Chicago’s North Shore In today’s world, it’s easy to feel pulled in a hundred directions—stressed, disconnected, or carrying burdens that never seem to fully release. Healing isn’t just about treating symptoms or finding a quick fix. True healing touches every layer of who you are—body, mind, heart, and spirit. That’s what I offer through Integrated Soul Healing here in Wilmette, serving Chicago’s North Shore. This work isn’t about givi

Forgiveness is not for another. Yet our surrender to allow a greater power to inform us, will impact another by proxy. When no one is holding the story, the story ceases to be told and repeated. Not as repression, but as a purification of the habituated self who takes form as personality. Forgiveness is necessary to purify the solidity formed as our personhood. This solidity is the accumulation of places we have layered memories and emotion formed. They are also known as en

Consider with me, please... Darkness is a friend. It is not just symbolic to what is momentarily hidden from us, but it also allows the fresh discovery of what wasn’t, to what is. A difference between darkness and the idea of "evil" is that one already thinks they know evil. And thus are not truly open to what “evil” is hiding as its secrets. "Evil" cannot be from a separate source and being in love does not exclude "evil" because of "evil" choices. "Evil" cannot exist o

Test love. It never fails. Learn your relationship to love by how love defines you. Love desires more for you than you can imagine for yourself. Let love define you.

In this short recount of an experience I had already many years ago, today I was reminded through speaking with a friend, of this experience and through it, the deep realization of the need we have for each other. This need does not come from lack or the mind, but an existential need to be known, seen and experienced. "I exist." And in this fullness of allowing one to be known, a subtle dance forms. The need to be in service is as simple as seeing the other as in service to l

Relationship navigation can be really difficult, especially the more individualistic we are. We not only navigate what is conscious and we are aware of, but also what we are not aware of that impacts our choices. It's often at the choice point and the effect of the choice, that we have material to reflect on to make "wiser" decisions in the future. Yet if we are not asking the right questions to ourselves, we may mask the cause with modifying the behavior instead of shifting

How often do we receive something And go on automatic pilot? We say thank you to a sincere appreciation yet do not feel the appreciation inside. We observe the joy and adoration of another towards, yet we do not feel their joy as ours or adored. Are we so conditioned to shut off from receiving anything because we are so tired of protecting ourselves that even something good and true cannot touch us? Allow yourself, with me, with yourself in this moment. A deep ahhhhhhh, I Al

There is a dance where there is just you with the Beloved loving yourself. No mirrors. No projection or transference. Just the warmth of the full delight of life everywhere. All spectrums, all frequencies within the heart attuning to a greater harmony that expands to more greatly embrace itself as more whole. With the coolness of silence. Full, like gravity, pulling you closer. And the desire magnitizing itself to only this. Continual completion. Be/coming, present.

The Essence of Love is known through surrendering yourself to the mystery of love to be completely annihilated, consumed, ravished, enjoyed until you disappear. The only desire left is one of dissolution into The Source of all of Supreme Ecstasy. In this sacred union, all parts are whole and contributing to this re-union.

Consider that you must be able to say "No" and mean it, for your "Yes" to have any value to yourself. And those who have a healthy relationship with "No" also have healthy immune responses. A weak yes or no, is subsequently a powerless yes and no. What authority backs this "Yes" or "No"? And those who would take advantage of your powerlessness can do so because of your relationship to your power; a weak yes and no. This is directly correlated to a weak immune response. When y

Perceptual Awareness You becoming aware of yourself through becoming aware of yourself. Paradox is the name of this game. And you are in charge. Until you see that you are not in charge. Hence the balance of the force is made present. All in perfect harmony as it is. Yet if you are like myself, you are not satisfied with answers. You know that more questions lead to more answers and as satisfying as the answers are, they don’t scratch the itch of the desire. Until you kno

I am fascinated with subtle energies and energetic relationships at play. It is the surgeon as myself that will dissect until there is no-thing. It is the scientist that will hypothesize until its known. It is the alchemist that transforms until its transfigured. It is the magician that shows the unknown making something out of nothing. It is the technician that knows the sum of its parts and how they all work together to form the whole. It is the warrior who cuts away what i

To say no is a containment. It contains the sanctity of your yes. It allows your yes to rest within the firmness of the transparent walls of no. Yes and no organically dance to create paths and edges, rivers and shorelines, atmosphere and space, skin and organs, fruit and pulp. And inorganically dance as fences and property lines, streets and curbs, rooms and walls. All divinely created and all with a purpose. Yes and no can be like binary coding of 0 and 1 that make up th

Its hard to trust the person you are when you are still attached to the person you were. This is one key to forgiveness. You can do the work in dissecting all of the facets where you are connected to the person, the impact to the person, to yourself, the impact to yourself and repay the vibrational debt by experiencing the hurt. For some, this feels like momentary hell. Or you can surrender your pride of being right and having to hold any part of that image up, to maintain un

Indifference is death, describing qualities inferring that there is no polarity to generate life. No choice, no energy to move itself to another space. Yet what is within indifference is still not indifferent in the same way reaching extreme spaces of yin one turns yang and vice versa. Life knows harmony and balance of the whole of itself. And when we know ourselves as it, there is no more resistance nor extremes. It simply is. And so are we.

This is a big topic and has been on my heart for over a week. I have felt so inspired, waking up in the middle of the night as it is purifying through me, words, vibrations, emotions and finding form for expression. This video is just a glimpse. The Stone you cast is the shadow of guilt you carry. For anyone who knows themselves as that stone, and the lie they believed to pick it up and cast it, would see innocence, and drop it. The guilt of separation and thus the seductiv

How can we be with people who don’t know how to be with themselves? This is a common conundrum of society that derives a lot of personal suffering. This dance of the inner and outer. The parenting of the adult and child. The polarizing of the masculine and feminine. The unfolding of the mystery becoming self-evident. The death and life dance. All of this teaches us how to be with ourselves and by proxy, with others. For when we don’t know nor try to pretend we should, life

It's okay to be right! It's okay to also let others be right too! It's okay to also let others be right at the same time as you! It sounds so simple, yet how many wars are started by forgetting the simplicity of inclusion? How many victim are made by not seeing themselves as another? Seeing themselves as another is inclusive of feeling, knowing, listening, understanding, and experiencing. When we start pointing in directions that start like a wave but soon lead us into the oc

"I am not going to stop being me because you can't be (me)." Compassion needed. Empathy needed. One is connected to a place or way the other is currently not. Empowerment present. One is not leaving themselves for the others happiness over their own. Opportunity is present to see the envy hidden here. The one who cannot envies the one who can. One has their power, the other seeks it. And the envy will pull through coercion and manipulation, to disempower the one who stands fi

When you know God as the Source of all life, you welcome opportunities to test love. You see that life offers limitless possibilities to choose again. That isn't because of you, that is because of love. Love is present regardless of you being present, or not. That is grace. Your worth is not determined by how many times you had to choose again, but when learned, the value of those lessons. And that is not because the worth wasn't already present, but because you were not ther
