We’ve made a riddle out of simplicity. — Ernest Holmes I love this quote by Ernest Holmes, mystic and Founder of the Religious Science movement. Our teaching is so simple and yet we continue to complicate it and our lives with our mental confusion. Keeping it simple, I believe is a spiritual practice. It means […]
Read more "Is It That Simple?"Technology is anything we use repeatedly and intentionally to produce transformation. In that light, prayer is a technology. Meditation is a technology. And gratitude — when practiced with awareness — is a spiritual technology that alters both our biology and our reality. From a neuroscience lens, gratitude is both biological and spiritual: “Gratitude is the […]
Read more "Gratitude as a Spiritual Technology"In the Sondheim song from Merrily We Roll Along, the lyric says: “Something is stirring, shifting ground. It’s just begun.” The words continue: “Edges are blurring all around, and yesterday is done.” I can’t think of better words to describe what I’m feeling right now about what is happening in the United States. Without getting […]
Read more "Something is Stirring"“The mind within does the real seeing, the real interpreting of what the eyes look upon.” — Ernest Holmes Have you ever listened to someone explain something and then said, “I see”? In that moment, you aren’t seeing with your eyes—you’re saying, “I understand.” I believe we do not see with our eyes; we see […]
Read more "I See"Yesterday, I had a dental procedure that was both intense and expensive. As I sat in the dentist’s chair, experiencing his expertise as he worked, I began to reflect on the disparity between what a dentist or doctor earns versus what I, a metaphysician, typically receive.

Read more "The Metaphysician and the Physician"I was sitting on a plane, and, as it often does, the turbulence began; this time for longer than usual. I have a slight nervousness when I fly. It’s a feeling of uncertainty. What’s happening, really? Is something wrong with the plane? I think of the worst scenario for a moment, and then I quickly […]
Read more "Living in the End"Twelve years ago—almost to the day—we held our first service here on the Island of Kaua’I at Center for Spiritual Living Kaua’i. I could say that our twelve years of transformation began on that day, but I would be wrong. The transformation of my life began when I chose to become a minister, and, soon […]
Read more "12 Years of Transformation"For about seven years, I wrote a blog everyday. I stored them all at https://consciousnessondemand.blogspot.com/?q=gratitude+is+a+feeling During that period, every day, I would get up and ask myself, “What do I need to know?” Then, I’d place my fingers on the keys and type. What came out was exactly what I needed to hear that day. […]
Read more "What Do I Need to Know?"I am so grateful to wake up in the arms of a beautiful person—my husband of 24 years and partner for 27. Each morning, before getting out of bed, we begin our day with a Spiritual Mind Treatment and then listen to something powerful to align ourselves with the highest Truth. I am so grateful […]
Read more "Happy Anniversary to a Quantum Couple"As we near the end of our stay at the Waimea Plantation Cottages—a getaway my husband and I try to take once or twice a year—I find myself in a contemplative state. I’ve spent these days reading, writing, meditating, and sharing deep conversations with my husband. I even fit in a little nightly TV. It […]
