In The SanctuaryBear Canvas: Bear totem has a special place in my heart. My connection to its energy comes from my ancestors.Schefflera Plant: I am in love with it's beauty. It brings an outdoorsy feeling inside which is wonderful, especially during long winters in New England. Fun fact about this plant: according to the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine, schefflera has bitter, sweet and warm properties, and is associated with the Liver meridian.

Working Through Shadows

Modern life in a modern world is hectic. I move from place to place trying to be somewhere to meet someone to do something at a precisely scheduled time. Working on the schedules for myself and my family have been a part of my routine. I had to or I would miss an important appointment!! I wake up and I have to go! go! go! “There is no time for this” I would often say to my children in the morning while packing lunches, making breakfast and getting ready to get out the door. Dinner times are the same: make dinner, follow the night time routine and get ready for the next day. NO time to wonder or to be bored.Vacation times are scheduled and filled with the activities. We go places, we see places, we eat out, we do things. New things, exciting things.I often wished for the world to stop spinning so fast. I was exhausted!Until it did. The world stopped spinning so fast last March. In the beginning it was an interesting experience of being home without needing to go places, or bring children to places or being…

Healing in Silence

I would like to begin by expressing my love and sincere sympathy for everyone affected by COVID-19. The loss of the loved ones or the loss of a family income is unimaginable and hardly can be explained in words. My kind thoughts and love go to you. There are as many opinions as humans on Earth and everyone is handling this time of change differently. The spread of the viral disease is as real as it can be. Yet, not many people aware of emotional disease that is also being spread like a wildfire from person to person, affecting many as strongly as physicality of COVID-19. I am writing this in an effort to prevent spreading of the spiritual disease to diminish the feelings of panic, sorrow and hopelessness. Rise above COVID, rise above social media chatter, rise above the news, rise above your own thoughts, silence the noises to go within to heal. If you are on quarantine at home, this may be the best time to practice these simple, yet very effective Reiki principles: Just for today, I will not worry. Just for today, I will not be angry.…

Parent Love

Parent Love

March 11, 2020 Being a parent is the toughest job I have ever had. Short nights with little sleep and long days with big tasks to keep your little one safe. Endless routines which make you cry and laugh at the same tie… Sleep, eat, diaper change, meal prep, clean, laundry… Wake up the next day and do it again. In my work, I raise high vibrational energy of love coming from the heart center, creating the field in which I connect with my clients and their loved ones (including these who moved to a world of spirit). I have helped my clients by providing an intuitive insight into a situation with their children. Whether it is a parent with a troubling teenager or a mother of a young child who is being bullied at school or being prescribed medication for behavioral correction. I tune into parent and a child fields providing intuitive insights from a higher perspective therefore assisting parents with the toughest job of all.

My Love for BooksBooks changed my life. Back in the days when I was just learning to speak English, I went for books. I read them with a dictionary, translating the words and writing them down on pages. It was a slow process, but the books played an important role in the process of learning new language language.At a later time, the books assisted me in my spiritual journey. Books are an amazing source of information as well as an excellent getaway from a daily routine. I would like to share my passion for books and reading by sharing a list of my favorite magical with you. My Majickal BooklistReal Magic by Dean RadinBecoming Supernatural by Dr. Joe DispenzaBreaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe DispenzaAn End to Upside Down Thinking by Mark GoberLuminous Life by Jacob Israel LidermanThe Alchemy of Nine Dimensions by Barbara Hand ClowWisdom from Your Spirit Guides by James Van PraagSecrets of Meditation by DavidjiAnatomy of the Spirit by Caroline MyssEastern Body, Western Mind by Anodea JudithThe Power of Now by Eckhart TolleWhere the Two Worlds Meet by Janet Nohavec, Suzanne GiesemannLemuria and Atlantis by Shirley…

 Full Moon Date: January 10, 2020 at 2:12PM ESTMoon in CancerThe Moon rules Cancer, so when she’s here, we absorb and acquire her maternal instinct and suddenly become far more conserved with our homes, families, children and mothers.
