Back yard circle, Summer Solstice ritual.
I can’t believe I actually have to tell people how to behave. Really? I mean, really????
While I am very much a live-and-let-live kind of person and I don’t believe that there’s only one way to do most anything, certain behaviors bother the hell out of me and will [...]

Thanks to the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico in the spring of 2010, I hadn’t been to the beach in nearby Destin, Florida, in nearly a year. But I was there yesterday and I was there again today. It was beautiful, clear…and I was relieved.
Last year, the toxic fumes of oil being [...]

As an empath, I have become acutely aware of the High Heart Chakra , also known as the Thymic Chakra or Thymus Chakra. I didn’t even know I had one until recently until it was activated by really and truly getting to be myself in a bond with someone else.
You’d think I might have found [...]

Of course, people re-arrange rooms when a relationship breaks up or a child leaves home…or a relationship solidifies into shared space or a new addition is welcomed into the family! Spaces fill up with energy, usually the energy of the person who occupied it or with the energy of events [...]
Whew! What a workout! Drenched after a very active hour-long session, exhausted, and yet feeling really, really good.
Whether you spend most of your days behind a desk and evenings lounging on a couch in front of the TV…or you’re dealing with way too much stress and drama….or you’re feeling dulled by depression, it helps to [...]

Standing on the Walton-Okaloosa county line in a hazy sunset, looking out across the Midbay Bridge toward Okaloosa Island and Destin. This is Choctawhatchee Bay, which the local county is trying to block oil from getting into and destroying. Camera phone photo, copyright by Lorna Tedder; all rights reserved.

Ley Line #2: The River of Life…or…Souls?
Whereas most houseguests don’t notice the first ley line in my house, those of us who live here didn’t really notice the second one—we still don’t—until visitor after visitor pointed it out to us.
I don’t think that this particular ley line has been [...]

Ley Line #1: The Stream of Creativity
I’ve known about the first ley line since around 1995, not long after moving into this house. I had a desk set up in a home office where I could write chapter after chapter of my novels on my [...]

I have two ley lines in my house, and they are strong streams of energy that are very different. In addition, I have a few “power spots” that feel like pools of energy.
The more I learn about these ley lines, the more questions I have, such as:
- Do all ley lines move?
- [...]

I promised I’d review the Abraham-Hicks products and share my opinions since there don’t seem to be other online reviews that met my own needs for choosing which DVD, book, CD, or download to buy.
If you find this review helpful, see the suggested reviews listed at the bottom of this article.

From the upcoming book, Passion to the Third Degree; originally published in 2007.
I am exhilarated, mellow, happy, calm, peaceful, powerful, amazed, excited, sleepy, and awake all at once. Ah, I feel wonderful.
You know it’s a great ritual when you feel the energy coursing through your body to the extent that your whole body is rocking [...]

I have a spare bedroom I’m painting and refurbishing so that it’ll make a beautiful guest room when my daughter is home from college or has friends over. I didn’t finish it earlier in the year when I was too busy, but I’ve had plenty [...]

When I was first looking for a like-minded spiritual group in Northwest Florida, I found several existing circles rather easily. These were people who were either pagan or pagan-friendly, with anything from a nice [...]

First dates are perhaps the best example ever of energy bubbles and making those first important energetic connections with someone else. That’s because there are few other situations where we are thrust into an environment with a new person and expected to stay and hold our own for at [...]

Well, she looks at you so coolly,
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea;
She comes in incense and patchouli,
So you take her, to find what waiting inside

The eyes are the windows of the soul, indeed! Yes, her eyes really are that color and those are lichens on the ground in this beautiful natural setting.

Brace yourself. This is going to be controversial. It may make you cry, or it may make you angry, or–if you don’t believe in anything you can’t see–you may roll your eyes. In fact, if you’re not an open-minded person, just go ahead and click away from here now because there’s nothing in what I [...]

Can you feel psychic connections across time and space?
As in, can I connect with someone from 2 years ago or from 2 years from now? I don’t know.
I haven’t been able to, at least not much. Or have I just never really thought about what’s also known as energetic [...]

Empathy, empathic abilities, and what I call “energetic connections” (or emotional connections) between people are all about feeling what someone else is feeling. Some of us empaths, or “highly sensitive people,” have these abilities more than others, [...]

Psychic Spying can backfire in the worst sort of way—you can not only alert the person you’re snooping on, but divulge your own deepest, darkest secrets.
Several years ago, I was at a metaphysical festival in Florida where [...]

My home is just how I like it. It’s serene, different, and…well, something of a refection of myself. I love that the men I socialize with romantically as well as guests who visit once a month for a spiritual or intellectual gathering find my home a sanctuary. They tell me that they arrive at my [...]

Not long ago but long enough ago, in a serene little home I call my own, I fell head over heels in love with someone I never expected to think twice about. I knew from that first moment that our time [...]

Super sensitive. That’s what I am. I’m still trying to assimilate the weirdness (thus far) from yesterday’s eclipse, August 5, 2009. I had some strange physical effects, and it felt like the veil between the worlds was thinner than ever yesterday. In fact, I know it was, based on what [...]

Are you getting what you want? I am. Finally. And the change is most evident by looking around my home.
While working on a refurbishment project both inside and outside my house, I had begun to notice a pattern I’d somehow missed. It’s a pattern of doing without, of sacrificing, of [...]
As my body tries to heal, I find that the usual drains on my energy are too much for me and I need to conserve and focus on myself. Helping other people has been such a norm for so long that it’s hard to make the switch, but I am slashing through some of the [...]
