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.

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

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

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

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

Love is fully personal and equally impersonal. It by itself has no bias when in wholeness. The quality and experience of love feels different to the person as a friend, as a spouse or a child. Yet love is still love as the whole spectrum known and unknown to the person. To know love, one must also include and embody the impersonal love as well. The quality of this love is often experienced as “colder” as it doesn’t have the “warmer” tones of the person. Yet it is just as

In seeing the value of living a non violent life, we must look at all the subtleties that when left unseen and especially unattended, would agitate the mind into violence; violent thoughts, aggressive behaviors and postures. To abstain from following these impulses one must initially use will power to stop ourselves from acting upon them as a part of our human inheritance. Also one must look more closely at the value of acting upon them and question what violence gives them a

Bringing our awareness into our darkness, we become the light of the fullness of the known into the unknown to illuminate what is present. It takes vital presence to sit with some of the density of our accumulated and stored emotions without escaping the discomfort of what we have allowed to take shape and inform us. This is a video looking at the macro and micro/ inner and outer/heaven and hell perspectives within wholeness with the hope to guide one into the relevancy of

That which we can experience we are. Availability is a key to intimacy. Letting us receive life fully, communion with ourselves, with Source, is the greatest gift we are given. I am using the example of purity as a gateway into the frequency and the embodiment of the frequency that generates a divine intimacy between the experiencer, the experienced and the observer (witness) of the whole of it. That and this are not separate. Our ability to communicate is so much more than

You deeply desire with the whole of your being to be seen, to be known with all of your heart, and all of who you are. You want to be known, explored, enjoyed, delighted in, connected to, seen, felt, experienced, journeyed…all of it accepted, honored, revered, cherished, adored.... Yet you fear the intensity of how available that love is to you and those who would also be so available to give you exactly what you want. And you fear what you must give up for you to have that.

Religion is akin to a fruit on the tree of life. Each fruit comes from the same tree, a different branch with the same source nourishing it. Each fruit also containing within it, a seed that, when given the right conditions, would produce the same tree and bear more fruits. The fruits are religion, the tree is the soul and what animates the whole as the mystery, is spirit. We need the fruits to nourish our soul and to bring us in touch with spirit. Ingesting the fruit we a

On some level, Mastery requires a large scope of understanding, not only of the subject at hand but also of the interconnected weavings of how the subject connects to the whole of the individual self. Subject and object are and become known as a process (journey) and integrated as the individual. The more bodies that become/ are integrated, the more self awareness. Parts become known whole and whole bodies become larger known bodies becoming larger known bodies, and so on. Th

Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the...

Our capacity to question our experience brings us closer into intimacy with ourselves. To be fully free, showing up into the present moment means allowing ourselves to experience all of what is here, alive, without aversion. How can we truly engage with life if we are disengaged with our experience? Intimacy with ourselves then asks to question the truth of our limiting beliefs, what is below the surface into our subconscious and to fully sense and feel our sensations and

Intimacy and OurSelves Intimacy isn’t an “out there” or “in here” experience. It is a now “experience” with the totality of your own awareness. The light of your consciousness, the movement of your aligned presence “seeing what IS available” and the completeness of the sight arising within the field of the unknown is all part of you. What you can perceive arises from the very heart of yourSelf. Pure and without definition as your knowingness knows this Isness. When in the s

When you doubt, you cut yourself off from full engagement and facilities of real discernment. It's not until we trust ourselves and the universe within us to know what is in our best interest, that we move beyond judgement. Living in a state of fear, closed off to what can hurt us, based on past experiences that have not been fully reconciled disconnects us from the whole of us that knows the all of us best. Without wholeness in our decisions, we make judgment calls from accu

I’m right syndrome Think of how many battles have been waged at the idea “I am right”? I think of something simple as anger and what might be driving that emotion, what thoughts are arising behind the scenes giving rise to an expression. Each time I come back to anger, there is an “I” involved with a pretty strong need. Maybe it’s protection, safety, but then what does the “I” need to deescalate or dissolve? What happens when we go curiously into that thought? I often see s
