Wherever we turn, it seems there is more information about COVID-19 and its individual and societal impact. For that reason, I was tempted to choose another topic, but I cannot. To do so would be to deny what looms so large in the world. I write this on a U.S. National Day of Mourning and…

Beyond Personality: The Enneagram As a Vehicle for Awakening
This interview with Roxanne was given to “Awakening Healers, Coaches and other practitioners” and offers insights into the deeper purposes and meanings of the Enneagram. Thanks for listening. Let us know the impact that this understanding offers you.
The Deep Purpose of the Enneagram

The casting, she emphasized, was perfect except for one person — her….
Patterns of the Personality
After a coaching session, a client remarked that she had experienced what she called spiritual chiropractic during our work. She said that her body had an internal shift, an energetic release as she recognized and relaxed around a long-held pattern of anticipating the worst outcome in most situations.

How Do We Know Ourselves?
This weekend, my husband and I attended a rather tongue-in-cheek “Hollywood’ party where costumes were encouraged.
