Help! What does this word mean to you? For many of us, the very idea of asking for help – or receiving it – brings up a wide range of thoughts, feelings and emotions. And what about giving help?

Our bodies and beings – and everything around us – are energy! As such, we need to acknowledge the very nature of energy, since it changes – creates – moves – mimics – morphs and yes, sometimes destroys.

What if the energy of “destruction” is what is...

What is awareness? Some call it intuition – others call it inner wisdom. It’s that space of total knowing – and trusting that you DO truly know.
