The Soul Heals

You do not have to settle for pain, frustration, depression, fear or lack of momentum. You can heal? It drives change, growth, esteem and purpose.

Soul Awareness Healing heals at the deepest level possible, clearing the way for a soul-driven life, living authentically and happily, without bounds. It works through the chakras, which connect the physical body to the energy body and circulate the life force throughout the body. This powerful approach is Energy Medicine – and, although your soul healing journey takes place in non-ordinary reality, it will have a profound impact on every aspect of everyday life. The Soul Heals is located in Madison, WI, although healing sessions are offered via phone around the world.

The word "healing" can feel loaded. Most of us resist the idea that something within us needs attention—it can feel like admitting we're broken or not enough.

But healing isn't about being broken. It's about being human.

If you've endured trauma, navigated the world as a highly sensitive person (HSP), or grew up in an environment that didn't nurture your True Self, you've likely spent years in a defensive crouch. Maybe you've been in therapy for years, doing the hard work of understanding what happened and why.

And that work matters. It truly does.

But here's what many discover: understanding alone doesn't always release what's lodged deep in the body and energy field. Those wounds, those scars—they live in places that words can't always reach. Call it "healing" or "release" or "getting free"—whatever resonates with you. But please don't tell yourself "it's fine now" or "I've forgiven them, so I'm done" when your body is still holding the story.

Because unresolved trauma has a way of resurfacing at the most inconvenient times—just when you've finally met someone wonderful, or landed that dream opportunity. It emerges not because you're weak, but because it's asking to be acknowledged.

You didn't choose what happened to you. But you do get to choose what happens next.

You deserve freedom from what's been weighing you down. And you don't have to carry it alone.

When we are focused on not feeling safe, we don’t see all the ways in which we are safe and protected. When we are focused on our triggers, we don’t even notice the glimmers. Awareness expands our focus area to include everything having impact on us.

Our world is filled with commands and demands: Stay busy. Busy is important. Martyrs are noble. Do more. Exceed every single day, every single week, every single month. Then, innovate, change, pivot. Do more. Go faster. Achieve. Answer your phone 24/7/365. Do everything. Do more.

Beyond the input from outside ourselves, the inner voices have their say: Don’t be selfish. Do what people expect you to do. Do everything. Do more because you are “less than.” You don’t deserve [x y z]. Do everything. Do more. Take care of this person, that person, everyone you know. Prove yourself. Explain yourself. You are not worthy. Be afraid. Do more.

If only it was as easy as taking of your head and laying it aside for an hour or two or twelve.

But maybe it is. It is called meditation. It cuts through the monkey mind to connect us to source, god, soul, whatever you relate to most deeply.

When I lost over 100 pounds (maintained for 25 years and counting), I didn’t do it with a diet and I didn’t do it with exercise, although those were components of my healthier life. I did it by healing.

I did it by acknowledging and releasing the blocks and scars created within as a result of a lot of trauma in life. I did it by intentionally re-arranging my psychology. I did it by throwing out much of the garbage our culture said were the rules of losing weight and ending food addiction. I went beyond a mindset change and self-motivation and intention. In short, I healed.

There are many wonderful methods for managing an addiction and many paths to get to peace with that substance or behavior, but they rarely go deep enough to HEAL. They leave you to struggle to manage life and to expect slips and failures. Sometimes, they create UNCERTAINTY, which is uncomfortable enough to make you need that substance again.

My The Art of Healing course for Spring 2025 is focused on addiction in whatever form you struggle with it: food, drink, drugs, drama, victim mentality, unhealthy mental patterns, self-sabotage. It features two of the most powerful meditative practices I’ve used to bust up addictive behavior.

This work dovetails nicely into other programs you might be using. It's energetic and spiritual work for the beginner as well as the veteran managing an addiction.

This course is available via Zoom or in person in Middleton, WI. Classes meet Thursdays, January 8 to March 19, 6-7:30p central time. Small class/register now!

The Power of Being Present for Your Self-Care

I'll never forget watching a woman stagger over to the bleachers at my son's little league game years ago. Impeccably dressed, wearing spiked heels, feet swelling, she clung to the railing asking about a player named "John Doe."

No one knew him.

As she held onto that railing for support, her story tumbled out: She had woken at 3:30 a.m., left home at 5 a.m., and been on the move all day for work. A few coffees and an ice cream cone. Four children playing different sports. Her husband told her she'd better show her face at "John's" game since she never made it to the games—but she wasn't even sure she was at the right field.

She was shaky (low blood sugar?), emotional (fear – what if she couldn’t find her son?), and completely disconnected from her tired, aching body. Tears rolled down her face.

I'm not judging her choices. We all persevere under enormous pressure to go go go. Work more. Earn more. Be important. Do everything. Being a martyr is noble. You can always live later... right?

But here's what struck me: How was she showing up for "John?" Was she present? Would she even notice if he made a great play or felt terrible on the bench after missing a catch? It's hard to "record" good memories when we aren't fully present.

That's one of the beautiful things about my Kundalini Yoga classes on Sunday mornings. We are in a dedicated space. We are gently led, not rushed. We have time to breathe through to mindfulness with every posture. Meditation becomes simple and easy as the vibrations of our voices deep in the body relax every cell.

As my student said, it's all about what you bring to the mat. I invite you to show up for yourself, and reap the cell-deep rewards of health, peace and bliss infiltrating a happy, well-served body!

When Self-Care Becomes Self-Abuse

A brief glance around will reveal many methods we are using to counteract the impact of high stress, tension and anxiety in our world today.

Walk through any mall and you'll see people getting 10-minute massages, sitting in vibrating chairs while chaos swirls around them, or closing their eyes in parking lots for a moment of peace through a meditation app. We seem to be realizing we need breaks, and we are desperately trying to fit them into our busy lives.

But are we getting the deep relaxation we need, or adding more stress to life?

I recently had a client who works 50-60 hours a week count off on her fingers the 10 things she's doing for herself every day. It was an extensive list! I felt pressure just from hearing about all the things she MUST do to try to relieve stress. When does "self-care" become "self-abuse?"

Here's the truth: It's not always the sincere wish to make positive changes or the desperate need to halt the pressures of life that gets results.

How are we showing up? As one of my yoga students recently remarked, "There's the yoga. It's always there for me, but how am I showing up for yoga class?"

The Sushumna is the central channel of energy in the human body and it runs from the base of the spine to the crown of the head and carries Kundalini energy, which is the primal evolutionary force and lies dormant at the base of the spine. Kundalini is awakened through yoga, meditation, healing or a sudden expansion of mind and body, leading to higher states of consciousness, vibrant wellness, as well as spiritual growth.

In my healing practice, I see this “awakening” occurring more and more as we move into a new era. The emergence of Kundalini may spark concerns about safety, but it can be ushered in with ease and bliss with the help of a healer experienced with its power and purpose.

There was a time, not so long ago, when “energy” was considered woo-woo. Some people felt it powerfully. Those that did not feel, judged our very life force as “a figment of the imagination.” They called the folks who felt their Energy Field crazy, deluded, or just plain weird.

So many of my clients have spent their lives as Highly Sensitive Persons (HSP), constantly deemed to be “different” and their interior knowledge dismissed by family, friends, institutions, religions and doctors.

“In every culture and in every medical
tradition before ours, healing was
accomplished by moving energy.”
– Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Biochemist and Nobel Prize Winner.

For centuries the ancient wisdom keepers and healers in several traditions had a keen understanding of the energetic body. The healing traditions from China, India, Japan, Tibet, as well as the Indigenous of many continents, all spoke of energy channels, meridians or nadis along which the vital energy flowed.

Life was considered to be a bio-electrical and vibrational energy phenomenon and health revolved around balancing energy through various means. Life existed because of life force and energy running through and animating the body, ensuring we can move, breathe, digest food, think, feel and take care of ourselves.

Due to the development of new ways to scan the body and brain, we now see Science and Spirituality merging. Energy channels and its flow can be seen visually.

What you feel is real, provided you feel deep enough.

This time of year, we see a lot of posts about gratitude. No doubt gratitude sets up a different mindset, a different perspective on the world. We know how different it feels to look at what we have, instead of what we don’t have.

But there’s deeper magic recently uncovered about this state of mind. Experiencing the feeling of gratitude doesn’t just calm us. It actively restores our energy reserves.

If we’ve done it long enough, we can all unconsciously say a thousand gratitudes in the time it takes to drive to work. Those less-than-mindful gratitudes follow a neural pathway in the brain created by habits.

But activating new, mindful gratitude is different, and magical!

Studies using fMRI scans show that creating gratitude activates the medial prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex of the brain. In plain English, feeling grateful literally expands our perspective and helps us stay focused on what we care about.

The connections that go offline when we drift into Victim mode or old habitual thinking come back online when we create gratitude.

The car battery starts charging again. The lights return to a reasonable level. The engine turns over. We have energy available for dreaming, creating, connecting, and moving forward!

Gratitude isn’t something to do because we feel we should or we want to be a good person.

It’s something to practice because we want to have energy for our lives. Because we’re tired of running on empty. Because we recognize that every moment spent in negativity, fear or resentment is draining the battery.

With a fully charged battery, we are able to do the good work to fulfill our life purpose, to love and create powerful connections!
