This is a special post for Halloween. I know it is not a Holy Spirit holiday but it does give me an opportunity to talk about spirits and ghosts and to blog some thoughts that fit into this interesting day that is celebrated every October 31. Hallow is such a great word as it means to respect greatly and make holy. Of course, we do not think of Halloween in that way at all and I am not suggesting that we do. I am hoping you will consider all things hallow and how you can work

Spiritual experiences happen when pain is healed and integrated because it makes room to reduce the debilitating burden of carrying negative feelings. Since healing is a voluntary act, there is a benefit for the willingness to trust your inner spirit to the Holy Spirit. Often, pain blinds us to our true self. There is a place behind the pain that is waiting to be entered and mined. It often seems there are doors and passageways that keep on going deeper into shift after shift

In my last Spiritual Hindrance blog, I introduced the idea of PTSD and boldly claimed we all suffer from it. I am going to expand my case for it this time. It would be impossible to be born into this earth realm and grow up as a child without picking up stress, trauma and some form of anxiety and depression. IMPOSSIBLE! This is our human condition. We are victims of suffering and being misunderstood over and over. But, I believe we can remove hindrances and gain a new mind,

I have set up the Holy Spirit Life with a need to Practice Ways to draw close to the Power of the Holy Spirit. I have mentioned several practices that will enhance your inner spiritual growth. They are based on ways to SEEK first the kingdom of God, and HIS righteousness; and all these “things” will be added unto you. (Matt. 6:33) Just like you would not become “good” at anything in the physical realm, you will not be gaining “good” (God’s righteousness from His Kingdom) with

I am in LOVE. I am thrilled with this love. It is Divine! What does it mean to be in love? It means to be in a close relationship and have that familiarity with someone. It is the feeling of belonging together and knowing you are completely seen and able to be open, transparent, and vulnerable. It is so much more but those are basics. When thinking of the Holy Spirit, it is FIRST important to think of love. Jesus told us the two most important commands are to love the Father

Affirmations will make your life work best...if you are able to connect them with truth. Speaking affirmations without an open heart and conscious awareness to receive them will have shallow connection. Want to know how you can you practice powerful affirmations? The inner doors to the spirit of a person need access and opening. When a person has been separated from their inner being for a long time, it is imperative that the walls of separation be broken down between the mi

See each day as a fresh start for you to feed your spirit. Just as you feed your physical body, you have a need to feed your spiritual hunger. This can begin a daily practice that will become a habit that grows and develops over time. Begin small or you will be overwhelmed. I remember when I first started what I now call my “Daily Meds,” I challenged myself to arise 15 minutes earlier than usual and just pray. This sounds doable, but 30 years ago, I was a night owl and gettin

How do we let the Power of the Holy Spirit run our lives vs. operating out of human ego? Intimacy can be defined in many ways in the physical realm. Many people only think of it as sexual but that is so lacking. Just being with someone body to body is never going to fill in the need God plans for True Intimacy. It does include the physical but must also see deeply into THE OTHER ONE we are being intimate with in a whole relational way. We will want to relate to them spiritual
