Meditation, Pre-Occupation, and Sexy Dream Men
This meditation was different. In so many of the others, I’m aware, looking around, and so intent on what everyone else is doing. More out of curiosity and eagerness for knowledge than fear or judgment. In this meditation, I’m the one who’s preoccupied, barely aware of what’s going on around me. From the Bookshelf Christian…

Only in My Dreams
It’s amazing what the subconscious will dredge up when you least expect it. Whether dreams are a blender mix of the day’s events, your deepest fears, or actual prophecy, they’re worth listening to. I like to think of them as trying to tell me something, whether it’s something I already know that hasn’t otherwise surfaced…

Living the Dream
The best thing about having your world shattered around you is rebuilding, even though it doesn’t seem like it at the time. But when you’re forced to rebuild, you have a chance to create the life you want. Not that it’s easy and not that it’s done overnight. The structures of our lives may be…

Dreaming Our Values
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Freedom. I’ve learned to pay attention to my dreams. All of them. The prophetic, the mundane, the symbolic. It’s funny what we learn about ourselves and what we value. Last night, they were intense. From the Bookshelf Christian Meditation — how to draw closer to…

The Life I Signed Up For
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Freedom. Is this the life we signed up for? Maybe the life we signed up for before we incarnated this go-round, but it’s not what we aimed for in high school, and that’s often where our expectations are created. Every May, I love reading the…

The Last Thing I Want to Do Is Slow Down
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Freedom. There’s an old Sammy Hagar tune on the radio while I’m doing my morning meditative commute to work. I haven’t heard it in ages, which gives me a jolt. Yep, my foot’s heavy on the pedal today and I’m late for work and thinking…

A Visit from the Cat Man
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree of Freedom. “You should meet my son,” he says. I’m meditating, and he surprises me. He’s an interesting man and an enjoyable conversationalist. He’s in his mid-60’s, and if I were a couple of decades older, I might even find him downright fascinating. He’s thin and…

The Hope-Filled Romantic
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Life in the Third Degree. I’m a hopeful romantic, especially about this man—this Treat—and this night. Hope is the one thing that has gotten me through so many dark times—the thing I held onto steadfastly and unrealistically when I knew a relationship would never improve, and I let…

Spiritual Exhaustion: Clearing and Confronting in Dreams
Have you been absolutely exhausted recently and can’t figure out why? Extra sleep and vitamins aren’t cutting it? I’ve been that way for a couple of weeks, and I’ve cheerfully blamed the guy I’m seeing because he’s been exhausted, too. But my Shannon called from college and has also been exhausted, regardless of the luxury…

Between the Scorpio Moons, Life Shifts Fast
To put it in Star Wars jargon, I’ve felt another shift in The Force recently. Here we are, half-way between two Scorpio full moons with a Taurus Sun and it’s at a new moon in Taurus. There’s been a tug in a particular direction for the past week as Saturn turned direct and a definite…

A Meditation First for Me
For quite some time now, I’ve started my meditations in my Enchanted Forest. I’ve met lovers there and friends, had men drink from my hands and lips and hug me for dear life from on their knees. I’ve pulled them out of dark prisons, drifted on quiet lakes, let them sleep in my arms, climbed…
