Full Moon Oracle Message

by

I took this photo on Kauai last May. Here is today’s Full Moon Oracle Message.
As blessed rain falls here in Central California, where we need it so very much, I ask of Spirit, “What messages do you have for my readers today?”

First, come the trees. The trees are calling us into deeper relationship with them. Come, they say. Come deeper in. Come discover. Come find wonders unimagined. Come find friends and allies. Come.

Again, they say – expand your perceptions, expand your understanding, expand your consciousness. Look beyond what you have been taught. Go deeper inside into your cellular knowing, your very DNA. Your deeper knowing. Remember what you have forgotten.Continue Reading

Practicing Gratitude

by

In these times that feel SO disorienting and discouraging, we nonetheless have much to be thankful for.

I’ve started a gratitude journal several times, and never continued for very long.

A recent email from my colleague, Ocean Robbins (Food Revolution Network), reminded me about the HUGE benefits of practicing gratitude.

Science is actually finding that practicing gratitude – by writing things we are grateful for each week, or EVEN BETTER daily – actually makes us happier and more productive. It also makes us more interested in helping others. Oh, and we report being less stressed and more likely to exercise, too.Continue Reading

Plants Hear Water…

by

Yep. Plants hear water.

Why is this important to you?

Because we all need to expand our understanding of the natural world around us in order to create the shifts we need to heal our world.

We’re suffering from the profound disconnection we have created from nature. Some “new age” spiritual teachings actually promote this disconnection – light is good, dark is bad – high vibrations are good and low vibrations are bad – and our goal is “ascension” (meaning actually leaving the planet).Continue Reading

Are You An Intuitive Or Restrained Eater? Quiz

by

My friend & colleague, Louise Jeffrey, has just released a powerful new quiz that will help you to identify what kind of eater you are, and offer some valuable insight into whether you may be more susceptible to cravings, overeating, emotional eating, binge eating & weight gain.

Louise is an expert at helping women develop right relationship with food and their bodies, so they can have a life and body they love – WITHOUT dieting. She’s been through this journey herself, which makes her a truly empathic guide.

She says:
“As Human beings, we have to eat to survive. Each of us has our own unique relationship with food and our body that was shaped from our personality, the family environment we grew up in and our own unique life experiences. But before we can understand how the way you eat affects your body, we need to examine your relationship with food.Continue Reading

How I got my name…

by

My name, Ariana, is a spiritual name I took in my 30s. When I interviewed Riane Eisler recently for my Reclaiming The Wise Woman Elder – for the healing of Earth summit, I told her the story.

I told her because SHE was really responsible for me taking the name.

Her book, The Chalice and The Blade, was a transformational book for me. Reading about ancient European cultures that had worshipped the Great Goddess, in which women held power in equalitarian societies, and war was almost non-existent, was a revelation.

Learning her language of the Dominator paradigm vs. the Partnership paradigm was liberating and affirming.

We are not doomed by human nature to use violence! Cultures existed in our past where women and men were in partnership with each other and with our Earth! We can do it again, and even better.Continue Reading

What Burned Places Do You Have Inside?

by

This is one of my Spirit trees – a wonderful guide and protector. She is an ancient redwood with a huge burn scar in her base. (Yes, this is just one tree.)

She is huge, thriving and powerful in spite of the burned place.

I’ve learned to consciously transform the burned places in me. To mine the gifts they hold for me, and to bring those gifts to others through my work.

What burned places do you have inside?Continue Reading
