There are all kinds of ways to meditate. 

• You can meditate at the same time each day.
• You can meditate for a certain length of time. 
• You can use breath.
• You can use mantra. 
• You can use music. 
• You can use beads.
• You can use a guided meditation app. 

I've worked with a lot of people—many mediators, many not—in the field of spiritual intuition, and what I have found is that there is no particular way that is better than another. 

They are just different. Each particular style or practice you use, will take you into a slightly different dimensional realm than the other. 

• Some meditations take you into bliss. 
• Some take you into sleep. 
• Some take you into relaxation. 
• Some take you into clarity and knowing.
• Some take you into intuition and visions. 

The type of meditation I teach, which is really not a formal meditation practice at all, but rather a way of slipping into a particular dimensional level, is designed to enable people to receive clarity, knowing, intuition, visioning and channeling. 

This kind of direct connection is not what you would use if you wanted to relax or sleep, for example. But it is ideal if you want to know what your next step is, and when you are ready to receive clear guidance from the Universe. 

I teach this method in everything I do: courses, books, training, podcasts, all of it. If you're interested, I invite you to learn. It is profoundly meaningful to receive guidance from the Universe in this way. 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. I've opened up new spots for Readings and Clarity Coaching! 

We are in the midst of fierce ideological struggles, and it is not pretty.

Will we be racist or will we be inclusive? 
Will we be misogynist or will we be equal? 
Will we be violent or will we be peaceful?
Will we be separate or will we be together? 

What we are really experiencing, on a soul level, is a great awakening. 

Yes, our world seems toxic and negative, extremely so. 
But as souls, what we working on is proclaiming our Oneness. 

Some people get it. 
Some people don't get it yet. 

If you are a person who understands we are one collective soul, now is the time to double-down on your spiritual practice, and show up by example and by action.

Be the Light. 
Shine the Light.
Practice the Light. 

It is a long road to November 2020.
​
Be sure you are registered to vote. 
If you are called to work in politics, do that. 
If you are called to have discussions with friends and neighbors, do that. 
If you are called to pray, do that.

"This commitment to living from soul will take you on an unexpected journey, whether you travel the world or you stay at home.

Whether you meet many people, or only a few.
Whether you achieve worldly success, or live a simple life.

Yet in all cases, this walking on the path in your own way, throwing away the map and letting the Light lead . . . this is walking in the mystery, and it is the sweetest, most profound way to live a life! 

The great leap is not into the known.
The great leap is into the mystery.

Take your map out. Look at where they told you that you needed to go.
Now throw the map away and start walking.

Your soul knows the way."--Messages from the Divine

It's often said we are Divine beings having a human experience.

But what does that really mean?

Whenever we accept things as “truth” for a long time, it’s good to step back and take another look. Sometimes looking at “truths” can be uncomfortable, or bring up some resistance—we want to believe what we believe.

But what if we did that?

What if we left out that whole "Divine being" part, and looked at this idea a little plainer, little more stripped down. As in:

"We are souls having a human experience."

Not Divine beings.
Souls. 

It helps us flip this idea around and look at it anew, for two reasons:

• First, souls are not neutral—they have choice. In this way, we can be either souls turned to light. Or we can be souls turned toward dark. The soul has choice.

• Second, our human selves are not neutral either—our human self, which we might call our mind, ego or personality, also has choice.  As humans, we can be "good,” which most people think of as kind, compassionate, and loving. Or we can be “bad,” which most people take as mean, cruel and hateful.

We get to choose the orientation of our soul: toward Light or dark.
And we get to choose the orientation of our human self: toward Light or dark.

Nobody is perfect. In fact, most of us are woefully in the middle, perfectly imperfect, walking our path. And yet many of us are leaning toward the Light.

The thing is: it’s complicated, this task of being both soul and human! It’s not as easy to lean toward Light as we might imagine, even if that is our soul’s and personality’s desire.

We are wonderfully imperfect. 
We are on the path. 
We are leaning to the Light. 
​
That is enough for today. 

Much love, 
SARA

​P.S. Join me for Gathering Light: An Autumn Retreat, just $15! 

What is consciousness?

Consciousness is our awareness of "what is", of Universal energy, of Nowness, of God.

It's more than intellectually knowing. It's our deep inner knowing that there is something more and that we are part of this more. There is something more and we are part of it.

This knowing isn’t something that we can be taught. It’s not a mind thing. Instead,  it takes hold within us, it is something we are born with, it is something we don’t ever not know.

In the old days, a word for this was faith: having an unshakeable belief in something that can’t be seen.We may not use that term now, but we are practicing faith anyway.

We don’t need intellectual or scientific “proof” to know that our knowing is a true knowing. We see in our own lives, the continued, constant and consistent communication from this indescribable, ineffable MORE that is everything.

God. Universe. One. All. Divine.
All good names, for what we’re trying to express.

And sometimes, just the idea that there is MORE and we are part of it is enough to get us through a rough patch or a dark night.

We hold this deep knowing deep without our innermost hearts, and no amount of convincing will have us known otherwise.

We know this, because we are it.

Much love, 
SARA

"When you are in Divine space, there is no shame, anger, pain, despair. There is no need to numb yourself when you exist in this vast space of Light.

We say, this is how you can live all the time!
We say, this can be your experience always, if you choose.

It is simply a matter of leaning toward the Light, over and over again.

In every moment, you have this choice: darkness or Light. In every moment, you can choose and you do choose.

It is always your choice.

We say also, you can choose dark your entire life: every moment, every opportunity, every chance. And then in one moment you can choose Light.
​
And this one choice will change everything."--Messages from the Divine

When we think of relationships, we often thing first of our family, lovers, friends, colleagues. Of other people. 

But remember, we are in relationship to everything, all the time. 
This includes more than people. 

It includes the entire Universe of animals, plants, minerals, objects, memories, emotions,  events and experineces. We are in relationship to EVERYTHING, across all dimensional realities that we inhabit. 

When you start to live this way—understanding that you are in relationship to everything, and everything is always relating, communicating and communing with you—you begin to live in a state of awe. 

Consider this idea today, and see how it deepens your experience. 

Much love,

P.S. Signups are OPEN for Spiritual Psychic Summer 2019 group training! 

Sometimes we are blessed to participate in and to witness moments of astounding beauty. 

Not just by ourselves, but in the company of other people.
Other souls. 

There is something about experiencing this together—the way our hearts open, not just as one heart, but as One heart connected. We feel what each other is feeling. And there is a great sense of relief, that we are not alone. 

If it is time for you to arrange to such an event for yourself, please do so. 
It can be as simple as watching the sun rise on a beach. 
Watching the sunset in a park. 

The point is to do it with others around you, so that you are in witness together. 
The feeling of Oneness that emerges will carry you for a long time. 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. We're signing up now for Intuition University SUMMER  2019. Join us! 

Part of being awake in the world is understanding that our lives are filled with millions of beautiful, astonishing, astounding experiences. 

Miracles, you might say, in their ability to open our hearts and help us know who we are. 
​
If you have not had one of these miracle moments in a while, why not allow yourself to have one today? 

The Universe is at your service. All you need to do is ask.

If we are grateful, if we give thanks—does this make us "good"?
Does this mean we are further on the spiritual path than someone else?

No, it does not. 

Remember: there is no hierarchy of souls.
One soul is not "good" while another soul is "bad", regardless of our actions here on earth.
All souls are perfect. Messages from the Divine

That's the Divine part of us. But in the earthly, worldly, day-to-day part, the part where our very Divine soul inhabits our very earthly human container, being grateful can help us on our path. 

Gratitude helps, because it lifts vibration. 
When we raise vibration, even if just for a moment, we become aware. 
When we become aware, even if just for a moment, we remember who we really are. 

Whenever you are deeply grateful for your human experience—the good, the bad, the all of it—you open your consciousness a little bit more. 

Over time, you start to live in grace. 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. Join us for THE GRATITUDE PROJECT, a 28-day immersion. Just $15! 

What happens when we create ritual? 
When we use fire, sage, sound or scent to represent our spiritual intention? 
When we mark an event or understanding in a serious and meaningful way? 

What I have found, is that ritual creates magic. 
It is the clearest way to let the Universe know that you are deeply, deeply grateful. 
It is taking a moment in the fabric of the Universe—sliding between the layers and levels of all the dimensions—and recognizing what a great gift it is to be here. 

If you have not created ritual lately, it might be time. 
You can create ritual to say thank you, or you can create ritual to remember, or you can create ritual to release. 

There is no special way to do it, either. 
Fire, sage, sound and scent are common markers. 
But you can do whatever works for you—it is a creative, unique process. 
Perhaps a ritual is waiting for you today. 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. Join us for THE GRATITUDE PROJECT this April. Just $15! 

We have all been through so much the last few years. 
As a soul collective, we've had immense challenges and changes. 
And sometimes, we need a little support. 

We need to take a pause, and regroup and recall who we really are.
And determine once again, why we're here. 

Even when times are challenging—in fact, especially when times are challenging—we do better when we gather together as collective soul, and recall our purpose. 

We're here for joy! 
We're here for connection! 
We're here for meaning! 
But sometimes, we need help remembering.

If you seek support on your path, I invite you to participate in The Gratitude Project,  a 28-day spiritual community course that begins in April. It's just $15! 

For 28 days, we'll immerse ourselves in gratitude. 
We'll release our narrative. 
We'll relax our negativity.
We'll give thanks for every little thing.
We'll lift each other up together. 

Learn more here!

Much love, 
SARA

What do you find meaningful in your life?
What really matters to you? 

If you ask most people what matters to them, you might expect these answers: 
"My family matters most."
"My relationships matter most." 
"My work matters most." 
"My health matters most." 

Of course, all of these are very important—they are worthy of mattering. 
And yet what's not on this list, might be what you find the most important of all: 

How you experience this lifetime. 

Not the way you think about your experiences. 
Not the narrative or story you tell. 
But how you experience life, moment to moment to moment, every moment as Now. 

If you have a chance today, to engage in a Now moment that is breathtaking in its beauty and wholeness, how wonderful would that be?

We sometimes think that being "spiritual" means we have to say "yes" to everyone. 

That it's our job as lightworkers to continually move our own needs aside so that we can help and heal everyone. Except, that's not what we're here for. 

Empathic burnout is a very real thing. 

Sensitive people—intuitives, seekers, healers, introvert—are often taken advantage of by those who are less sensitive.

The thing is, this isn't just the fault of the extrovert or bully or crazymaker. 
The problem is shared by the person allowing the behavior. 

We're all meant to have boundaries: physical, verbal, emotional, spiritual. As a spiritual person, as a helper and healer and lightworker, having boundaries is a part of your soul growth. 

You don't have to say "yes" to everyone. 
In fact, saying "no" may be exactly the next step you need to take. 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. Have you listened to the FREE podcast archives? Check them out here. 

Each of us has already transited many passages in our lives:

• Childhood, adolescence, young adulthood. 
• Our 20s, 30s, 40s. 
• Our 50s, 60s, 70s. 
• Our 80s and beyond. 

Each of these passages, not measured in decades but nine-year cycles, calls for a new approach—we are invited to enter into the next stage of our life. And this can be scary or thrilling, joyous or sad—but most of all it is unknown. 

We don't know what will happens when we leave behind who we were, and embark upon this next passages. Yet we have to go anyway. 

As you consider where you are in your own passage of life today, remember that we don't just evolve individually—we also evolve collectively.

Today is the day Uranus, the planet of ultra-progression enters Taurus, the planet of ultra-stability, and will remain there until July 2025.  

It's a very big shift.
We're all changing together. 

Much love, 
SARA

Part of being a sensitive, awakened person is that we want to help others. 
This is only natural—as souls, our purpose is to help other souls. 

Yet sometimes we come to  place where we mistakenly think that helping others is more important than helping ourselves. 

"I just want to HELP," I commonly hear people say, when they discover their gifts in healing, intuition and spirituality. Again, it's a natural, correct and generous feeling. 

And yet sometimes, we need to focus on ourselves. 

It's very easy as an intuitive and empath (which all of you are) to see with laser-like focus what's out of balance in someone else's life. We spot the problem immediately, and we want to help, we want to fix, and sometimes we even want to save. 

But this can become a distraction.
Sometimes, we become so aware of what's going on for others, we forget to look at what's going on for us.

If you believe that your sole purpose is to HELP others, you might take a small step back from this view, and check in with yourself. 

Is there anything in your life that needs to balance? 
Is there anything going on that needs resolving?
Do you need some healing? 
Do you need some rest? 

When we take care of ourselves, we become stronger and more whole. And when we lift ourselves, we also lift everyone. 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. Sign up soon for Spiritual Psychic Spring 2019. We're nearly full! 

A lot of times as sensitives, we like to withdraw from the world. 

The energy gets to be overwhelming, and it feels better to get all hygge on it—the Danish term for everything cozy and comfy and homey. 

It is great to nestle into our favorite spaces and do quiet internal things. 
But sometimes... that isn't enough. 

Sometimes going quiet or going internal is a way of distracting ourselves from the true reality that it's time to make some changes in our life. 

Especially in winter, when it is very easy to get very comfortable staying in, we can find ourself not just comforted by our quiet pursuits—but stuck in them. 

The idea is not to change your personality—it is a true gift to be sensitive!
The bigger question is if our internal ways are serving us, or hiding us. 

If you've been holing up or hiding out  this winter, you might meditate on these four questions:

• What's working in my life? 
• What's not working? 
• What's trying to change? 
• What must change? 
And just see what shows up for you. 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. We're filling fast for Spiritual Psychic Spring 2019 training! Join us! 

So many of you have written recently about your experience with deja vu with the places you've travelled, that I wanted to share further. 

I suspect many of us are time travelers. 

Many of us astral project in our dreams—we travel to distant lands, sometimes familiar but more often half-remembered when we awaken. 

We visit people we know-but-don't-know in our dreams—people who come from past lives or other karmic crossings. 

And we shift into different times—ancient TIbet, or Germany or wherever and whenever it is that you tend to often visit.

We call it dreaming. 
But what's really happening is that we are time traveling—we are astrally projecting in time and space. 

And of course, if we can do this in dreamtime, we can do it meditation. 
Which is something you can easily learn. 

It's wonderful, it's fascinating—and once you're doing this as a practice, you understand how limitless this life as a soul can be. 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. NEW advanced family karma course, Healing for Dysfunctional Families, just $15! ​

dASK SARA RADIO is back with FREE READINGS WEDNESDAY! 

​We talk a lot about consciousness—what it feels like to be conscious, and how spiritual awakening happens. 

Many of you started to notice an increase in your awareness around the Shift at the end of 2012. It's as if everything amped up—you felt more intuitive, more empathic, more connected. 

But now we're in 2019.
And the Shift isn't a shift any more.
​It's the new status quo. 

Which means that whereas before you received information from one dimension—but now, there's information coming in from everywhere, from multi dimensions. 

You sense more.
You feel more.
You exist in the middle of everything happening all at once, and you know it all without even trying. 

Welcome to spontaneous enlightenment. 
It is a hallmark of 2019. 
And there is more to come. 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. NEW advanced family karma course, Healing for Dysfunctional Families, just $15! 

So many of you are empaths, intuitives, sensitives—which means you spend a lot of time living in the etheric realms. 

You might spend a lot of your time betwixt the worlds, so that you are "disassociating" and going instead to visit:
• Guides and Angels
• Other spirit beings
• The Departed
• Past and future lives

Or maybe you are very good at astral projection—you travel far and wide in your dream time, or in your meditation, or maybe just when you are spacing out and relaxing. 

You're more "there" than here. 

This is normal for sensitives--you don't need to change anything. We are used to living between the worlds—living as soul first, human second. 

However, if this is causing you any anxiety, which it sometimes does, one immediate fix is to get grounded. To literally, to do something earthing with nature—barefoot on the sand,   barefoot in the dirt. 

This will bring an immediate shift to NOW, that will help you return into your body, and connect with everything that you love here. 

Plus, it's just fun to go barefoot, isn't it? 

Much love, 
SARA

P.S. We're starting a NEW course for February: Healing for Dysfunctional Families. Just $15. ​

ASK SARA RADIO is back with FREE READINGS WEDNESDAY! 

Have you ever intentionally experienced a slowing down of life's pace?

This being "off schedule," when you're not sick or laid up, but instead intentionally taking a break from your normal responsibilities and patterns, quickly creates new understanding.

In Cuba, we stayed at a private home in Guanabo a few blocks from the beach. It was stormy during our visit—not safe for swimming. So we sat under the covered veranda as the rain fell, and we played dominos. 

Anyone can learn to play dominos—beginner to master. It's a game for four people, designed for idle hours, when you have time to talk and linger. 

We spent many hours with the tiles as the rain fell, and during this time of enforced idleness, I began to recall the sweetness of life not centered around the internet, "to do" lists, responsibilities. 

It's good to be focused, to be committed to your soul work.
It's also good to not take it all seriously, to have pursuits and pasttimes that are simply for your pleasure.

As the New Year begins, with all that resolution and gung-ho motivation, it's good to recall what happens when we do very little, and allow ourselves to enjoy it. 

Much love,
