The Mystic's Message

Self-love isn’t as simple as they say. If you only focus on the fixing things you don’t like so you can be the person that’s worthy of your love, you’ll spend your whole life only letting in a little “well deserved” love at a time.

On the other hand, if you only focus on the parts you "like," you could miss some of your most amazing treasures, waiting to be revealed because they don’t fit into your idea of who and what you think you are.

Self love is a master key to living a life of peace and …

The latest iPhone seems pretty awesome, until you compare it to the amazing ability of your body to sustain itself. Magically transforming air and food into fuel for constantly rebuilding and regeneration.

Quantum computing is very forward thinking until you realize that our brains and cells have been doing it all along. 

Wifi is super cool until you consider the vast network of trees and plants; Effortless communion with Mother Earth- no batteries needed. 

For all our technological advances,…

Faced with large scale troubles, the first thought is often to seek a large scale solution.

Big, sweeping changes.

Overhaul the whole thing. 

Scrap it all and start from scratch! 

Take "Massive" action, whatever that means. 

That sounds nice. It makes us feel like we're doing something important, even if that 'Something' is flailing about with our hair on fire, getting nowhere fast.

See, the big stress that comes along with a big problem makes it easy to forget the little things. Small ac…

 In the days when social distancing and hand sanitizer rule, all of a sudden we are hyper aware of the unseen, unknown hands that touch our world. 

Exactly how many people have touched that Amazon package, or that piece of fruit at the grocery store? Is it clean? Is it safe? 

We're waking up to something that's always been; profound interconnectedness. 

Beyond the physical hands that touched that package from production to your door, there are the unseen hands of all those who came before. 

Have you been outside to take a deep breath? Cleaner, isn't it? It's as if mother nature just needed us to slow down for a beat for so she could do her thing.  

Are you following her lead and cleaning yourself up too? No, I don't mean extra showers and hand sanitizer. I mean cleaning up from the outside in. 

Your space. Organizing, cleansing, purging. You'll inevitably have some things to donate. Now is a good time to give. 

Your diet. We often seek comfort through food. Just make sure. it's …

We have access to more information than ever. All the how-to's and guidebooks we could ever wish for. So why is there so much stress and conflict in the world? 

It's because we're playing catch-up right now. With all of that information comes greater responsibility. And that responsibility requires Wisdom, Understanding, and Faith. 

These things take time. They take effort as well, which is not something many people have time or energy for in their busy, noisy lives.

But mostly, they take gen…

In a world where so many are striving to make a "Big impact," be the person who masters the art of simple acts of kindness, done quietly, with immense love and clarity. 

Big things are made of small things. It all matters. 

With Love, 

The Mystic Next Door

Whole again

He was inevitable
A product of the violence
Inflicted on ourselves
Every day, in great and small ways.
Bleeding from thought to deed.

“Surely this is as far as it will go,”
We blindly believed
Running faster and further
To the edge of reason; unchecked
By the choir of common malcontent.

Every step, and indignant word
Was met in kind, with a little
Something extra to prove his mind;
Building the case for a lunatic’s race
To no man’s land, bereft of empathy.

We railed against reason.
Accusing e…
