What’s a Metaphysician?

April - 10 - 2009
Posted by Val

I’m a metaphysician and I’ve heard this question enough times to talk about it here. There’s no really easy or simple answer to this question; you could line up 20 different metaphysicians and possibly get 20 different answers. Here’s my take on it. Meta means ‘beyond’ and physics means ‘nature’. So a metaphysician is one  [ Read More ]

You are never alone

This morning I read a quote in the book A Course in Miracles that I really loved. I thought I’d share it with you here: “God is my life. I have no life but His. I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity that moved in isolation, unattached, and  [ Read More ]

My e-mail address is in my book, so I often get e-mails from readers. This morning I wrote a response to a reader who commented on how much she loved the book (God Speaks to Me) and asked several questions related to her situation (the details of which I won’t go into here for purposes  [ Read More ]

Death is simply transition

Over the weekend, I received news that a friend’s husband had passed, which was surprising to her because he’d been recovering from cancer treatment. In a sense, the guards were down and relief had set in when the determination was made by his doctors that he was cancer-free. His transition was most unexpected. Why does  [ Read More ]

Today I received an e-mail from someone who had read my book, enjoyed it and had a question I hear often. My book is about how to listen to the still small voice within and presents true stories of what happens when we do, and when we don’t. Here’s the question (paraphrased): how do I  [ Read More ]

My 18-year-old daughter called me this morning and told me she’s definitely going to live with her dad. She had been visiting him for a couple of weeks, and has decided to stay. I’m elated, and a bit concerned. She and her dad have never been able to get along for an extended period of  [ Read More ]

Spiritual Umbilical Cord

I need guidance. I could do it all on my own, however, I’ve tried that approach and well, let’s just say it wasn’t pretty. I know I need guidance. So I’ve chosen to remember my spiritual umbilical cord… An umbilical cord sustains life. I am sustained by the Love of God. An umbilical cord delivers  [ Read More ]

My affirmation today is: God is the Lens with which I see. This came to me the other day as I was ruminating on the concept of seeing God in everything. I don’t remember the particular trigger that got me thinking along these lines, but I know what it was akin to. I keep hearing  [ Read More ]

Today is a day for release. Here’s what I am now choosing to release: I choose to release being small. I vow to stop hiding, playing small and playing not to win. I choose to release acting dumb. No more pretending I don’t know when I do. I choose to release self-sabotage. I vow to  [ Read More ]

Today’s challenge is cultivating deeper faith. Several of my life coaching clients have been working with this challenge lately. Since my world is a mirror of my consciousness, there are aspects of me which would benefit from stronger faith muscles. This I know. So, I’m offering here two tools I’m using now for myself with  [ Read More ]

Meditation

June - 17 - 2008
Posted by Val

I’ve been talking a lot lately about meditation to my coaching clients. It’s a recurring theme for good reason: meditation is one of the best ways to begin the day. Whether you call it meditation, contemplation, reflection or silence, the practice of sitting comfortably in a relaxed position, breathing deeply and quieting the mind produces  [ Read More ]
