Sacred practices, such as sweatlodges and vision quests, which include fasting, are very powerful medicine and need to be practiced with utmost reverence. They are timeless spiritual practices.

Every day we receive about hundreds to thousands of messages by Spirit, but we often do not listen. We are busy with our “real” life and our mind is so occupied with thoughts that these messages don’t get heard. We need to calm our thoughts, open up and listen.

It’s an interesting time of life, thirty that is. It’s maybe one of the first times in your life that you really start to look “back” on your life.

If mind were a house, then the ego is its tenant. If mind were a tree, the ego is an inhabitant bird in it-they both are born together, they live together, and they die together. There is a third entity within the mind: the witness.The witness is that awareness which witnesses the mind and the ego. And finally, there is the Consciousness, which powers them all, and it (the consciousness) acts as a medium through which the God (the creator of all phenomenon) watches and executes His will.

Messages from the Divine are all around you despite the circumstances of your life. Learning to listen to these messages is not only possible, but also provides you with a path to success.

Gratitude changes your outlook from looking through a lens of lack to looking through a lens of possibility. They are two very different places for your spirit to sit. Words are power and it is your choice what words you give life.

Being grateful lays the ground work for changing circumstances.
