Early in May, my husband Steve and I took a short vacation to Sedona, Arizona — an amazingly beautiful place surrounded by otherworldly and spiritually inspiring rock formations. (Luckily, we were there before a forest fire hit nearby only a week or two later.) On our first morning in Sedona, we arrived late to the…

I look forward to the day when the news about autism is truly getting better, not worse. So far, that is certainly not the case. In March, just in time for Autism Awareness Month in April, the CDC released new statistics — 1 in 68 children are now autistic. Since the rate is higher in…

My husband Steve and I just recently returned from a trip to Sydney Australia, where we visited with our son Izaak. Izaak walks two miles each way to work each day, and he had us walking great distances in Sydney too. Indeed, we noticed that almost everyone there walks to where they need to go…

In Chapter 5 of my book Impossible Cure, I emphasize the fact that all disease is psycho-somatic in nature — that is, is reflected in our entire state being, which includes both our “soma” (our physical body), as well as our “psyche” — our emotions and mental state.

Lately, instead of writing my Active Consciousness articles to a fixed deadline, I try to wait until inspiration hits me and trust that it will. For me it happened this morning. I woke up thinking about the fact that it was already January 6 and I had no idea what to write about for my…

Being a lover and advocate of homeopathy can sometimes be a frustrating occupation. You speak passionately and cajole, provide scientific proof and personal testimonial evidence. “Look! Look! This medicine possesses a miraculous power of healing! You need not suffer!” You write articles that show how even scientific studies prove that homeopathic remedies could drastically reduce…

Why do we take photos? We are on a vacation, at a reunion, at a family event, or just hanging out with friends, and we want to remember the moment. Our memories just don’t seem sufficient. We know that later on, we can see our photos and recapture our experience and savor it once again.…

In a past edition of the Active Consciousness Newsletter, I described how accessing the Now can enable us to hear things that we normally ignore or suppress from typical awareness — the sounds of birds, the wind, and, of course, the ever present noises of civilization. The same goes for our vision. There is much…

As is clear by now, when it comes to physical or emotional problems, my medicine of choice is usually homeopathy. But sometimes, simpler methods will do.
