Spiritual Counselor & Shaman, Master Healer & Teacher

I am a Spiritual Counselor & Shaman, Master Healer & Teacher of Penobscot Native American Heritage.  I have been a seeker of truth and freedom my entire life and I have studied with a variety of teachers, some who were very famous, some who were unknown and some who were not even aware that they were my teacher.  The most powerful teaching experiences for me have occurred during a series of Shakti experiences while gazing at a flower, the sky or embracing the energy of a sacred site.  In a moment of clarity five years ago at an ancient temple in Teotihuacán Mexico, I was literally struck down and my mind stopped dead in its tracks.  In the vast stillness that arose when the mind chatter dissolved I did not know who I was – there was no point of reference, no movement and a sense of coming home.

By standing my ground in that shaky state of being (not doing), the identification with the story of “me” broke down, and everything that my mind created was lost.  In that place of stillness and peace, in the absence of old patterns or dreams, the Truth of who I really am was revealed.  And, it is in that place of Truth that everything ends and all efforts to be someone or to find something cease.  Then, and only then, was I able to be fully embraced by the fundamental and vibrant essence of life – spacious and full of unconditional love!

I have learned that surrender to what is in the eternal now is the process of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life.  I have done so by opening my heart to limiting and fearful thoughts and beliefs. By that I am not talking about avoiding or overindulging in them.  I am simply referring to meeting them head on and discovering what is at their core – free from the workings of the mind with all of its commentary, evaluation and speculation.  I am aware that if I go to battle with whatever arises in my consciousness I reinforce those old and stale definitions of whom I “believed” I was.  However, if I yield and refuse to go to battle, the war is over and peace breaks out.  All that I really let go of is a story of “me”, an illusion of my true nature.

Eventually we all lose everything that our mind has created and awaken to who we truly are.  It is only when our love and desire for Truth outweighs our personality's compulsive need for security that we begin to stop struggling and allow our soul essence to be swept up into the arms of an ever unfolding revelation of the Truth and Freedom of our divinity.

I pledge to be totally and fully present for those who come to me seeking assistance in ending involuntary and compulsive negative thinking.  For all of us the process starts by not denying our present situation, but by accepting what is no matter how unpleasant it may seem.  From that place, we can more clearly see what needs to be done in order to take the responsible action needed to transform what may seem like hell into heaven.
