Publisher’s Letter... Dear Friend:
5 Steps to Invite Miracles Into Your Life
I practice practical spirituality. Gardening, cooking (dare I even say, sex) are my modes of meditation. Nature is my connection to Source. Journaling is my inner exploration and I live not in the mode of powerlessness—I create my reality. And I believe our written and spoken words (including prayers) contain unmatched power! I'm skeptical of how things work and want proof. For years, I've experienced this "proof" of the written word. Each year I create a vision wall filled with mind maps of my dreams for the year. These aren’t small goals. I go all out and include public speaking, my coaching business, the Conscious Living Festival, a book deal, branching the magazine into new markets, train travel, nature and kayaking, and, of course, plans with my family. Whew.

Interview with La'ne' Sa'an Moonwalker 10
What always amazes me, though, is how these dreams come into fruition (or those not meant to be morph into different form). The people, circumstances, and opportunities all appear. All it took with envisioning what I wanted and putting it into writing—with a dash of passion, intention, and of course, action, thrown in. But what does a vision wall have to do with Everyday Spirituality, the theme this month? It shows that the way we practice spirituality is different for each of us. These are the ways that work for me. We’re all works in progress, searching for opportunities to delve deeper into our true essence— and in the process—find ways to bring forth that essence.

ndfulness, the ability to live in the moment to find peace and harmony in life, is being practiced everywhere--in homes and in businesses throughout the world--yet a next step is needed to make a real impact on how we live our lives, says Dr. Noelle Nelson, author of the new book Happy Healthy… Dead: Why What You Think You Know About Aging Is Wrong and How To Get It Right (MindLab Publishing). “You know how wonderful you feel being mindful, living in the present moment--like actually tasting your food rather than inhaling it? It brings you greater peace and enjoyment, not to mention the terrific perks in terms of cardiovascular health and overall wellbeing,” says Nelson. “But then, life hits you, with all its messy, raw and often irritating and annoying realities. You’re quickly back to square one.”

Upgradeology: Inspiring You to Eat the Foods You Love Author Nicole White’s book, Upgradeology: Upgrade Your Food Upgrade Your Life offers an easy, healthy, step-by-step approach for all levels of cooking skills. Recipes include favorite “comfort” foods with nourishing ingredients. White offers, “the path to a healthier future eating what you love.” Michael Haray, of Santa Fe, NM, says, “Upgadeology is a book that attacks one of the most difficult problems that almost every American faces—how we can eat healthier foods. Nicole White confronts this national health problem by writing a book that everyone can easily understand and begin to change their eating habits. The book acknowledges the overwhelming power of our junk food cravings and doesn’t ask the reader to
give them up ‘cold turkey.’ Instead, the book outlines a ‘baby step’ process whereby you can keep the craving but change the ingredients. What a concept! “The book allows the reader to go at his or her own pace and select among numerous ingredients and recipes. In this sense, the book is flexible and can be customized to individual needs. There is also no need to read this book cover to cover—just find what interests you and your appetites—and start getting healthy. “Truly, if this book was used by every American, our junk food epidemic could be eliminated.” www.upgradeology.com or www.nicolewhitewellness.com for more information.

Animal Speak
Reiki for Animals
I
n These Arms: A Song for All Beings, by musician Jennifer Berezan, is an album-long musical lovingkindness meditation full of love for all sentient beings on this earth, "May all beings be happy. May all beings be safe. May all beings everywhere be free" (2011, Berezan). It is in the spirit of this song and all of my Animal Reiki clients, that I dedicate this monthly column, Animal Speak. The hope of this column is to expand our awareness of animals as our teachers and see the world of wisdom through the healing stories of our animal friends. Animal Speak will focus on the lessons learned from the healing work with animals. The first Animal Speak columns will focus on the healing work of Reiki, a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" [or off body] and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy (The International Center Reiki Training). Reiki can help animals in the same way it helps humans: to balance and nourish the physical body, and to balance mental and emotional energy. Reiki is particularly effective in helping animals who have been traumatized, or who are experiencing physical or behavioral difficulties. Reiki in combination with telepathic animal communication can assist animals in very powerful ways (Windheart, 2015). Each week I am blessed to share my Reiki gift with animals at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, specifically working with the physical healing of animals in the Shelter Clinic, as well as the many animals awaiting adoption who may simply need the calming, stress relieving energy of Reiki to better prepare them for their forever home. I trust the Reiki energy to do "its miraculous work," healing the mind-body-spirit of every animal touched and held, along with the animals who prefer Distant Reiki (off body). With every session, the reciprocity of the healing comes back to every person and animal in the shelter. There are so many deeply spiritual lessons to learn from our animal friends. We simply need to be present to them, listen and practice what they teach us. In alignment with this month's theme of "Everyday Spirituality," the following are a few of the lessons shared by the many wonderful animals who have experienced the Reiki healing process and given it back to their human companions in kind: Every single day touch base with someone you love, unconditionally and without judgment. Find joy in all the little happenings throughout the day. Practice forgiveness, letting go, and trust. Show your gratitude. Be the Divine within.
Mercury, a three-old Dwarf Hotot rabbit Mercury, a three-year-old Dwarf Hotot rabbit came to the shelter with a serious eye infection and is the embodiment of all of the lessons listed above. Beyond weekly Reiki treatments, Mercury is a favorite of the clinic staff who connect with him daily as he shares his unconditional love. Weekly Reiki treatment has been simply holding Mercury close for heart-to-heart contact and sending direct healing to his eye. Each visit is a practice for both Mercury and this human, in letting go, trusting, and sharing joy. After a few weeks, the eye has healed completely and Mercury is now ready for adoption in his forever home. Whoever adopts this less than twopound spirit animal will be experiencing the true meaning of Namastè--the Divine in Mercury recognizes and honors the Divine in the humans who share his unconditional love and joy. Update: Mercury has been adopted into his forever home, blessing his new family with his loving presence.

Heart & Business
3 Keys to Keeping Self-Care Front and Center
M
y passion for Heart and Business is continuous with pathways, methods, and tools that deliver you to a place of clarity and strategy with heart interwoven throughout all of it. Caring for yourself and your career are intimately tied together and nothing short of journey offering lessons along the way.
Self-care is an easy thing to put on the back burner. Distractions and every-day tasks can easily interrupt your much-needed you-time. Good quality self-care requires discipline, focus, commitment, stamina, and followthrough in order to be effective and impactful in your life and, ultimately, in the lives of others. I define self-care as a personal experience of respect and love for yourself. Again, self-care is a deeply personal experience of respect and love for yourself. I'm interested in offering you timeless, self-reliant, quality approaches to self-care and ensuring all efforts remain simple, real, and relevant within our lives. The truth is, we tend to resist the urges that will make us feel good - really good - like the kind of good that is long-lasting, not temporary. We want to have less stress; however, if we let go long enough to experience relaxation, the concern sets in about letting go. It's all a practice. And self-care requires practice to see any progress. Holding back what is best for us can become natural. Our bodies communicate to us all the time - to move - to love - to give - to receive - to believe - to engage - to forgive. But when stress sets in, one can begin to miss the messages that speak to us - go for a walk, smile, let go, don't judge, laugh, or nurture important relationships. We are constantly meeting new people, expanding our knowledge and discovering more of ourselves. The only way to keep self-care on the table and no longer hold back with what really feeds us is if we have tools - the kind of tools you can use on your own and quickly. I'm a big fan of tools that don't need tools. My core knowing is you are your greatest asset no matter what. Meaning, you have all you need. It's a matter of knowing what to do with what you have and deciding the direction that supports where you want to go. Let's get started.
Key # 1:
clarity, and resilience to keep you on track. Imagine that driving force within your self-care! The most engaged, attentive people sustain their drive for Along the journey, have fun, breathe, and be gentle with self-care by developing successful practices and routines yourself, but firm when it comes to making self-care stick. within life and work so they reduce the amount of stress in Self-care will become your source of harmony and their lives. Try different routines. However, stick to them balance when all else may seem a bit stressful. long enough to know if they work for you and your family.
Key #2: Engage in self-care when your willpower is strong. Mornings for most people. Once someone is mentally exhausted they are more likely to engage in trade-offs. The human ability to personally compromise self-care is the first to deteriorate when willpower is depleted.
Key #3: Focus on one thing at a time. Productivity increases by 75 percent when focused on one task at a time. In order for self-care to matter in life, we must get clear on how we are going to weave it into our lives with energy, focus, and confidence. This will prompt commitment, Evolving‌in SANTA FE

5 Steps to Invite Miracles Into Your Life “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." ―Albert Einstein
say, "think of a lemon, it's smell, it's 5. taste, it's weight..." you are visualizing. This next step is the same thing. Imagine what it is that you want and visualize the feeling of it, every little detail. Try to engage all of your senses as much as possible. 3.
N
o matter where you are in your life, what hardship you're going through there's always the opportunity to invite miracles into your life. I believe that miracles are all about mindset. Miracles are: intention, vision, gratitude, and faith all coming together. No life is perfect, we all go through hard moments at one point or other in our lives but if we can see all the great things that we have in our lives and have faith that all we want is on its way, that's when miracles show up. The definition of a miracle is: a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences. I would like to add to this that it's a way of being where we shift from fear into love.
Believe. Like Wayne Dyer once said, "I will see it when I believe it." See it first (in your imagination) and then you will believe it because it actually materialized. We tend to think the other way around: "I don't believe anything until I have proof." I invite you to expand your mind and believe
Observe. Watch how miracles start to take place all around your life. Coincidences or like I call them "synchronistic events" will start manifesting, money will come from unexpected sources, the job you needed at the time you needed it will show up. The perfect contact that you had been waiting for will appear at the right moment. Observe, pay attention to how things come into your life and remember that you're the one that set it all off by having the thought, then you intended it, you envisioned it and you invited the miracle in.
5 steps to invite miracles into your life: 1.
2.
Set an intention. What is it that you want in your life? Are you struggling with balance? with weight? with time? Do you want more money? More connection with peers? A person to share your life with? Whatever your answer is, set an intention to what it is that you want. Envision or visualize. The next step is to start seeing yourself with that thing or circumstance that you want, close your eyes and imagine it taking place in your life. -Some of you might say: "but I can't visualize" I challenge you, visualizing is like imagining.

La'ne': There are certain spiritual systems that allow us to engage directly and be guided by our inner intuition. This is why I am so attracted to indigenous beliefs and practices around the world, not only my own background through my father, but because of the essential piece that is so imperative and built into us as an animal. We are blessed creatures who can connect with That Which Moves and Touches All. It is part of us and we are part of it. We have to drop the belief that it has to go through somebody else. Because we are prone for illusion, delusion, and misinterpretation, we need help. We need guidance from teachers, fellow travelers, Spirit Guides, and of course That From Which All Comes. There was a time when we were all indigenous and connected with Mother Earth, Father Sun, and Grandmother Moon. We do better when we are in alignment with Their rhythms. Some of us are already working in this way. We are of many colors, faiths, and spiritual journeys. The healing has begun. There is a lot more to do.

How to Create Conscious Thought Patterns for a Better Life
T
houghts create our reality. The perception through which we view the world, the labels we apply to our feelings and emotions, the categories in which we place our life experiences and relationships, all add up to our personal experience of reality. The question is: What do we want to experience? This becomes challenging when we experience situations we definitely do not want. It can leave us feeling powerless, lost, and confused. I’ve run the gauntlet of potentially crushing life challenges. A few years ago, my sweet older brother, my childhood hero, hung himself. He survived, but it broke our family down as he chose a reality few of us could understand. None of it made any sense. Worst of all, I couldn’t help him. Here I was, a spiritual counselor, a supportive guide for so many souls on this planet, and I couldn’t help my own brother. What was the point? If I can’t help the ones I love the most, what good am I? What do I know? Nothing. I spiraled down, feeling too much, thinking too much and just wanting to escape from all of it. My faith in God, my faith in the unconditional love and support, guidance and wisdom God has for me, served as the bedrock beyond which I could fall no further. I went to my knees daily, praying for help, crying out to God to show me, guide me, teach me. I kept hearing, “Healer, heal thyself,” and I sought to heal. I received energy medicine, spiritual counseling, spoke to a medium, walked the labyrinth. Slowly, slowly, I came out of the shadows of my grief and pain, stronger, wiser, and more equipped to help others navigate their suffering. And then… I found out that my baby boy had been molested by the daughter of a close friend. My son’s behavior had changed so drastically that I knew something was wrong. He wouldn’t nap anymore, he was no longer potty trained, he couldn’t sleep at night. Once we found out what happened, a chain of events set into motion that changed my life forever. My intimate tribe of women crumbled as people took sides and got gobbled up by the confusion of loyalty and betrayal. I RAGED. I raged at
God, raged at myself for not seeing it, raged at his innocence being stripped away while I stood by, feeling absolutely helpless. But because I survived my brother’s suicide attempt, I now had the tools to survive this horror. How do we survive these challenges? How can we consciously create our lives in the face of such tragedy and loss? By consciously choosing our thoughts. The very thoughts that take us into the depths of pain also have the power to bring us into the joy and pleasure this earthly existence has to offer. Here is my tried-and-true method of Creating Conscious Thought Patterns: 1. Set Intention. Harness the magical, powerful field of Intention where all possibilities reside. What do you want? What do you need? INTEND IT. Simply write, “I intend….” and outline your desires. 2. Direct Your Thoughts. When you find yourself running a thought pattern that doesn’t support you, give your mind something else to do. Consciously pull all energy to the present moment and narrate what is right in front of you. Keep your mind occupied by running these neutral patterns and it will forget to run shame, guilt, and regret.
“The base of understanding that the Law of Attraction exists is only the beginning of learning to manifest.”
3. Engage the Energy. I imagine a golden coil of light spiraling over the top of my head and I continue running that spiral of energy around my head, my neck, shoulders, all the way around my entire body until I feel peace. I connect to Divine Love through sunshine, trees, the beauty in nature. 4. Get Support. The number one human need is to connect and belong, but for some reason, in this culture, we isolate. We hide. We don’t want anyone to know that we are struggling. We all need help making it through this CrazyTown called Life! There is a confidential, 24-hour prayer hotline called Silent Unity (816) 969-2000. You can call them with any life challenge and their prayer team holds your prayer request in their care for 30 days. It makes a HUGE difference. Look for places offering spiritual support and use your inner Evolving…in SANTA FE

feelings as a guide for which ones support your soul journey. 5. Check for glitches. If you are manifesting something other than what you intend, that’s letting you know that there is a glitch in the matrix. Something needs to be adjusted and usually, it’s your personal vibration. Do you truly believe you are worthy of receiving what you want? Do you believe it’s really possible? Are you running thoughts that are contrary to what you say you believe and who you say you are? The only person you hurt by buying into your own illusion is you. Ask yourself what these conflicts and challenges are here to teach you. Every conflict, every struggle, all pain is a messenger. What is the message? 6. Walk in Alignment. You can say “I am abundant” all day long but if you flinch when spending $300 for a workshop, there’s a glitch. This is a fine line. On the one hand, I am not advising that you throw money around, believing in abundance, then winding up broke as a joke! But all the affirmations in the world cannot help you if you are constantly in fear or worry or lack. Lack Consciousness is a killer of Magical Manifestation. Because at the foundation, you don’t actually believe in the abundance of the universe if you cringe every time you spend money. The base of understanding that the Law of Attraction exists is only the beginning of learning to manifest. The real work is in mining limiting thought patterns for information about where you are out of alignment with the blessings that are flowing to you. You can do it! I have faith in your ability to manifest your reality with conscious thought.

Live Your Spirituality by Transcending the Workplace
M
any of you spend 40+ hours of your week in demanding, fastpaced, and often stressful work environments that take your focus away from what matters most. You may be working the jobs of more than one person and lacking the proper compensation. Some of you are selfemployed and face similar demands as you work with a diverse clientele and the additional stress of fluctuating business. Even others of you work more than one job. Whatever your situation, please join me as I share the journey of three individuals, Charisa, Alura, and Richard, as they utilize unique approaches and tools in challenging work situations. Each discovers a way to highlight his/her natural gifts and talents, walk in truth, and honor their spirituality…every day. After much reflection, Charisa made the decision to leave her career in social services and enter the corporate world. She took care to weigh the pluses and minuses to both environments. Her move to the corporate world came with a deep reflection upon personal boundaries.
Image Licensed by Ingram Images
Though suited for management, she knew that it was no longer her path. Charisa has found comfort in this decision as her integrity is never compromised with making leadership decisions for the interest of the company over what’s best for the people. This allows her to conserve her energy for what matters most. From this foundation, Charisa is able to apply her spiritual tools, using them in variation depending upon the situation. She begins each day by taking inventory on how she feels. This requires Charisa to be very honest with herself. She questions her heart by reflecting: am I feeling vulnerable, sad, anxious, rested, joyful, etc.? This is her compass to determine which tool to pull from her toolkit. Charisa lives in deep connection with the Earth and nature, and so a stone, medicine bag, flower essence, or picture may be her companion for the day. Charisa has a sacred medicine hand drum that will often accompany her in the car before and after work. Whether just sitting with the drum, or being gifted a song, she finds this brings her into her heart-soul essence. When the weather is nice, she takes her lunchtime in solitude, sitting on a flat stone nearby a tree, or allowing the presence of birds to draw her to a relaxing outdoor space, blending her energy with that of the Earth. Refreshing! Alura made it her life’s mission to be in awe of life through her unique expression of the Divine. With this as her anchor, she embraces a divine feminine expression in her workplace by being open and receptive, inclusive, creative, and trusting her intuition. Alura knows that her corporate work environment isn’t concerned with her divine expression, so she accepts this responsibility—to “in” corporate her true and sovereign self. Each day, she briefly meditates on being aligned with her Evolving…in SANTA FE
Divine, allowing it to flow through her, setting her intention to operate from her place of truth. There are days that Alura maintains this alignment and days that she feels off within an hour of arriving at work. When out of alignment, Alura tends to go internally to a place of selfblame and self-judgment which then results in a “false” effort of trying to please others and gain their approval, circumventing her own selfrespect. When she finds herself in this space, she knows it is time to turn to her spiritual toolkit for help. Alura’s first step is to never deny her feelings. She has learned how valuable her emotional feelings are and how they serve as a compass, pointing her back into alignment. For Alura, pulling a card from her Angel or Law of Attraction deck can bring a welcome message to get her back on track. She decorates her work area with uplifting images and pictures, full of color, wonder, and vibrancy. Taking a moment with these pictures takes her out of her head and brings her into her heart where she can navigate her emotions clearly. She leaves her work desk for breaks and lunch, taking her Lavender/Sage smudging spray for a quick dowse. Alura carries her journal along which includes enlightening quotes as well as space she has dedicated to writing about why she has gratitude for her job. How divine! Richard is a self-employed artist, specializing in graphic design. He is highly creative, social, well-trained, and very gifted. Richard enjoys his career but faces a competitive environment where many of his peers have gone to work for big companies. This doesn’t work for Richard as he highly values his creative freedom. He enjoys making his own schedule and having control over what he creates and when he creates it. While this approach works well for Richard, he has had to make sacrifices in other areas such as marketing for business, grass-roots referrals, and dealing with fluctuating business income. His spiritual toolkit is just as valuable as someone’s in an office environment. Richard will sometimes work seven days a week. Due to this demand, he makes sure to do two things each day: take at least
a 30 min lunch away from his computer (preferably outside) and build in one hour of workout time. He notices a marked decrease in his energy levels and mood when he doesn’t honor these two commitments. He also makes sure that every other weekend he has at least one full day off–no work, no computer, no calls, etc. Richard greatly appreciates being able to listen to music as he works. Being home, he can play whatever he wants as loud as he wants and has been known to have power dance breaks. Fun and carefree! Each individual has discovered a way to transcend his/her work environment, be true to himself and live his or her spirituality. I hope that some of these tools will inspire each of you to take inventory on your own toolkits and take the necessary steps to live your spirituality…every day!
“Each discovers a way to highlight his/her natural gifts and talents, walk in truth, and honor their spirituality… every day.”
