“No stopping while running.” – A sign made by my niece.

I have inspiration fatigue.

When I open my inbox these days it gives me the same feeling that I get now when I pick up a fashion magazine – that insidious undercurrent of: there-is-something-about-me-that-needs-changing.

In Chanelling Grace, Caroline Myss talks about psychic free radicals. When I heard that I stopped still and felt an incredible sense of yes. I really believe that all of the noise and energy pollution and static filling the psychic airways is just as toxic as the garbage that some people eat.

I get that there is a consciousness shift going on and I get that that fear is just as heavy for a lot of people as the size of their thighs. But all of this consciousness raising noise has become bloody exhausting. I feel as toxic and bloated spiritually as I felt physically before I knew I was allergic to gluten.

Sadly there is no allergy test for the spirit.

But I know that I am suffering from inspiration fatigue. So what’s a girl to do?  Answer: A psychic detox is in order.

What I need is the psychic equivalent of a green smoothie.

Gone are the trans fats of mailing lists I signed up for just to get the free gift and never opened again.  Gone are the artifical sweeteners promising me money love or success, and gone are the emails from anyone who makes me feel less than in any way.

All that is allowed into this sensitive energy field are things that I know are nourishing to me:  good friends, muses, mentors, true teachers and the gentle whisperings of my own soul. Authenticity, integrity and delight are now the pre-requisites for access.

This sacred, tender soul deserves only the best, and it is my job to make sure that happens.

Yes.

“In your own place and time, you will feel the world ‘join up’ with you.“ – Martha Beck

I am not a weirdo.  Honestly, I can’t tell you what a relief that is.

When I started reading Martha Beck’s new book, I had no idea how powerfully it would affect me.  I usually begin a book, get to something hard or sticky and stop there. This time I knew that I had to finish, so I didn’t stop for anything; filling it with post-its and stars so that I could go back to the sticky bits and really work on them.

<<< drum roll please >>>

It was the book I have been searching for.

I had begun to think that it was normal to feel weird. I had begun to think that maybe I truly was never going to find the answers I was looking for.  Reading Martha’s book I kept thinking, “Yes!” Beyond that, however, I also knew deep in my heart that was she was saying was true for me.

And that, my friends, is a wonderful feeling.

I have so much more to say on this, but I will leave it there for now.  But trust me, if you ‘get’ the things I write about and if you are searching for the things I am searching for, I expect you will like this book.  Buy it. Read it. Then call or write to me, because we will have a lot to talk about.
