Today’s letter is for all who have experienced alienation as part of their divorce. By alienation, I am referring to a state or experience of being separated, isolated, and estranged from the affection of your children or from friend groups, family, and step-family you once belonged to and should continue to be involved with. Changing your inner resonance is possible. And so is changing the quality of your reality.

The period surrounding divorce or separation from our partners...

Are you struggling because you split from your partner or because you’re thinking about doing so? Is a recent or past divorce causing you to feel unworthy or incapable of moving forward, uncertain about your future, or simply trapped in the pain of your loss? Whatever the stage or whatever the reason, when a chosen life partner is no longer that person in our lives, suffering is almost inevitably part of the equation. But as strange as it may seem, these painful situations can also...

All of us, in one way or another, have been there. An unexpected situation crosses our path, and we are literally slammed by reality. The situation can have many faces—the death of a loved one, a serious disease, disability, betrayal, divorce, unwanted exile, parental alienation, bankruptcy, war, and natural disaster, to name a few. It may take the form of an emotion or sensation that becomes unmanageable within us—loneliness, frustration, the feeling of disconnection from others,...

Believe me when I tell you that our inner stories can alter the course of our lives for better or for worse.

Let me tell you a story about someone I had the opportunity to work with in my one-on-one sessions in Bogotá. Larry was born in Colombia to a wealthy family. Although he never lacked money, he lacked warmth and a loving relationship with his parents, especially his mother.

Don’t get me wrong; his mom was not dead. She just wasn’t there for him or for...

For me, life allows us, through different experiences, to recognize our internal contents. The different experiences we have externally with others are mirrors that reflect that we must work on ourselves in order to be more authentic and transparent.

A question I receive often during my crystal sessions is: What can I do to transcend the conflicts in my relationships and improve those relationships?

Recently, I received the following specifics relationships questions in a single...

“Listen, I think we need to be more loving and affectionate with one another. We would really benefit from creating that environment together, because we both really deserve this and need it to be happy together.”

Recently, I decided to have a mindful experience with my quartz crystal. I just wanted to become aware of all the information out there that my unconscious was exposed to without my awareness. It just so happened that, at the time, I was traveling from Santa Barbara, CA, to San Francisco.

During my Uber ride to the airport, the radio played in the background, like a low whisper accompanying me on my way. I was able to listen to the radio and caught a variety of programs, from political...

Master Buddha said, “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your common sense.”

Just as no one else can tell you which crystal you will work best with to enable your most authentic experience, no one else can tell you what belief systems resonate most closely with your authentic—transparent—self. In other words, although we are aware of our views and consequent...

Have you gone to a crystal store and had the shop owner or crystal healer recommend a specific crystal for a specific use, only to later check in a crystal book and see that it has different recommended uses? On top of that, if you check several books, you will find even more meanings and uses for a single stone. Plus, for each teacher, the crystals have a different meaning and use.

For me, this tendency to assign purpose and/or meaning based on the crystals creates mixed feelings or...
