From Heart-Links: Here's an excerpt from the transcript of a consultation with a skeptic who became a believer — in her own words:

Again I felt doubtful, even though it felt right on. My mind kicked in with: “But anybody would in this situation...I wish she'd be more specific…”

L: “OK, that's what he's talking about; he's saying, "I'm there; I hear every word."
D: “I want to connect with him...”
L: “That's why he's doing this here today; he's giving you examples of when he's there and he's wanting to help you trust the feeling.”

Here are pages from Leonardo Da Vinci's To Do List!

I've personally re-resolved to resume my regular meditation practice! You'll find the author's conclusion very interesting:

(Here is the article in full).

"We live in an age that worships attention," says my friend (and Radiolab colleague) Jonah Lehrer. When we need to work, we force ourselves to concentrate. This approach can also inhibit the imagination. Sometimes, it helps to consider irrelevant information, to eavesdrop on all the stray associations unfolding in the far reaches of the brain."

That ability to let go, float free, does seem like an essential part of a creative mind, not just in giant ones. Those of us who make our livings closer to the ground, have to do it too. In his forthcoming book, (coming to bookstores this Spring) Jonah mentions a study by Dr. Holly White, then at the University of Memphis, and her colleague Priti Shah, of the University of Michigan.

“Well, first we’ll say we really appreciate your disrespectful word of croaking, we like it very much, because there is no such thing as death….

So, let’s get this straight in your mind. So what happens when some beautifully connected, physically focused human Being transcends into Nonphysical? In other words, lies on the pillow as you’re describing, and goes to sleep, and wakes up in the Nonphysical dimension and does not wake up in this dimension? What has happened?

"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." — Albert Einstein

Q: Do precognitive dreams always come to pass?

A: Interesting question. By definition, precognition —"direct knowledge or perception of the future, obtained through extrasensory means" — would imply that information from the future would inevitably unfold, or does this simply represent knowledge of a possible future occurrence, rather that the prediction of a certain one?

Reminds me of all those children who come in — remembering!

You may have read about Tina the Tree Lady (and/or The Flower Story) — both wonderful examples of how all living things are connected energetically. Once again, this morning in a phone consultation I was interrupted by a "tree person!" Wanting me to me to relay a message to my client, it telepathized, "Be sure not to cut the tops of those trees!"

Here's a great depiction of how it feels to me when I sense one — and then the other— through the consciousness of my clients and apprentices!

This article made my morning! I've named my least favorite body part, Mildred Midriff— "Middie" for short.
