We may get lost in our confusion, veering away from what is true but The Traveler stands in waiting. It gathers us together, brings us back to the center of insight and knowing and we continue on, stronger. Each stop along the way is a gathering of strength and letting go of the weight we carry that slows us down. When we reach our pinnacle freedom, lightedness and clarity bring The Traveler into focus. We follow those footsteps further and our new path opens up before us. Each destination comes more quickly. The inner landscape merges with matter. Before long we become the destination.

Redefining the material
Stuff--the fibers and materials that surround us everyday--what is it's true value?
Did we come to this world to be preoccupied with it?
Has aquiring it brought true satisfaction?
The true value of the material realm is not in building a fortress of false self worth. It can, however, serve as a medium to create what we love. It can serve as a nurturing support for our bodies as we evolve and grow in our minds and emotional selves.
When we find ourselves identified with material or when it defines our sense of self, we can use this awareness as a means to finding our true identity. The material is a support. It is not the final destination.

It Is What It Is
Surrender to the nature of The Divine may be felt as a deep physical/emotional release at times and at others, just an ordinary feeling of acceptance. The sirens don't go off in these subtle moments of grace and there are no bells and whistles but the moments when we can move beyond the struggle and relax into what is in front of us--whether we like it or not--are significant breakthroughs.
This form of surrender is a knowing that all is well even though this life situation is not what we would choose. When we reach this state we can relax and allow possibilities and solutions to come into our minds. This is actually when the initial, extraordinary states of surrender integrate into a new way of being and relating to the world.
This form of surrender is not to be confused with hopelessness which states, "I dont care", from a state of collapse. Surrender is a feeling of release and true acceptance which supports the life giving currents within us.
As my husband, Andy, says, "It is what it is."

My new book!
My book is at the publisher and will be nearing completion by the end of the summer!
For those of you interested in reading more about accessing the Deep Heart, this book covers the step by step path of opening the doorway into its mystical healing presence. In the book I lead the way to healing through teachings and meditations that progressively guide the reader into deeper and deeper states of Oneness. Once this is attained, physical health, mental clarity and emotional well-being naturally immerge.
I am so grateful to have come this far with this book. It has been a journey of unfoldment and joy for me to write it. Sharing this book with those who are longing for it's deeper meanings will be an even greater gift.
Once it is published I will make an anouncement in an email to subscribers.

The Great Change and financial loss
Other than the gestation of this book, so much has been happening on the inner planes in the last couple of months! As we all morph through this great evolutionary change, individually and collectively, nothing stays the same.
We may experience a whole host of new physical symptoms. We may have anxiety, anger, guilt, shame come up for seemingly no reason. We may question our most fundamental beliefs and understandings of life, God, existence. We may be in a personal financial crisis.
Everything is standing on it's head! Where are we to go?
Whatever is up-ended in our lives, this is the place that is ready for deep change and alignment into a higher way.
Many of us are experiencing this financially right now-- losing great amounts of money, our homes and businesses. This experience is the reflection of false concepts about life, sustenance, self-worth and emotional security. Once we take a step back and see our subconscious personal concepts, we are able to release them and come into a new way of being, and therefore, we magnetize different experiences.
We may first get clear about our personal concepts about money by looking into the images that arise when we ask:
When you are finished review your responses.
Any images based on something material, ie. a person, place or thing is a false concept.
Now ask your loving heart to respond to the same questions with a feeling. Out of the feeling an image or word or knowing may arise.
If the answer is a new and pleasurable sense of being comfortable in yourself, a new felt quality of clarity and stability, release and fulfillment, you have reached truth. You will have your own unique, heartfelt experience. As long as it feels good and of a higher way, you are there. Be with this and let it hold you.
Be well Beloveds and feel free to write in with experiences/questions.
Peace and love, Anne

A Voice Through the Door - my thoughts
The voice calling through the door is the "voice that comes to your soul".
When we dive into the inner dialogue with the deepest place in our hearts, the voice of Love, the questions and answers appear at once. Our work is to stay present as the unfolding aspects of self discover Truth. One by one we put down the rocks we carry in our shirts, our self-imposed burdens, and release into the effortless joy of the divine.

A Voice Through the Door by Rumi
A Voice Through the Door
Sometimes you hear a voice through
the door calling you, as fish out ofSometimes you hear a voice through
water hear the waves, or a hunting
falcon hears the drum's come back.
This turning toward what you deeply
love saves you. Children fill their
shirts with rocks and carry them
around. We're not children anymore.
Read the book of your life which has
been given you. A voice comes to
your soul saying, "Lift your foot;
cross over; move into the emptiness
of question and answer and question."
-Translated by Coleman Barks in Rumi The Glance

Breaking through Fear
Fear.. it seems to be gripping a lot of people right now.
Fear is a physical, mental and/or emotional restraint that holds us back from what we long for in life.We can get to the heart of it by asking, what is it we fear the most? Is it attack? Humiliation? Ostracism? Loss of love? Our own anger? Authority? Being seen for our faults?
Even then, we can distill it further by asking "And what if..(I lose love, am humiliated, etc.)? "And then what?" Take the fear to it's natural conclusion and willingly submerge in the feeling of fear surrounding it. Feel it until it pops open.
Can we accept this conclusion as it is from the broader context of the loving heart? Find and feel The Acceptance and Compassion for yourself in your "worst fear". This is true safety in life and freedom from it's restraints.
For more on this you please watch my video on "Dissolving Fear into the Heart"
