Taking Exam (Number 5)

Taking an exam in a dream is a very positive omen. It means you are ready to move from one state of consciousness to another. Your awareness has increased to such an extent that your higher-self is giving you the green light to move to the next stage. If you are considering starting a new […]

Naked (Number 4)

Being Naked… When we are naked in a dream our subconscious is asking us to be ourselves with regards to the subject matter of the dream.  Don’t “dress” things up out of fear and instead be your true essential self—we come into this world in our “birthday suit” and it societal programming and mores that […]

Pure Life

Costa Rica whispers from afar.  Not everyone hears her call but those that do are generally transfixed by her enchanting beauty and charm.  For those inclined to be open, this Central American country is a spiritual portal that offers access to the Divine Wisdom of the Universe; it offers the promise of a Pure Life […]

Kirtan Kriya

When I seriously considered meditating roughly five years ago, I really had no idea how to begin a practice.  I had heard about the importance of meditation but for me it just didn’t seem practical.  I tried meditating when I was 25 years old and my idea at the time was that meditation meant going […]

Rainbow Aura

One crisp afternoon Rumi was walking alone with her red book and newly acquired gold coin in tow.  The red book, her trusty companion, never left her side.  It had been with her as long as she could remember and although the edges were becoming more and more frayed, Rumi wouldn’t think of ever replacing […]

Two Gold Coins, One Dry Well

Rumi was sitting on her favorite bench high up on a cliff overlooking the ocean.  She would sit and watch the waves below crash against the shore.  The sound of the crashing waves became almost like a meditation for her.  Whenever she sat alone, invariably someone would always come and join her.  It was her […]

Quietude: A Prologue

ॐ Many thought Rumi quite simple; in reality, her silence spoke of a wisdom that few understood.  She came into this world a stranger, and she left as a stranger.  It was rumored that she remained in silence for more than five years before eventually ending her fast on the spoken word.  When she finally […]

The Mango Tree

Santino liked to contemplate the mysteries of the Universe, and there was one question he could never quite answer:  What happens when we die?  The question troubled him and if he were being honest, it troubled him greatly.  He considered death all the time. One day a woman saw Santino meditating under a mango tree.  […]

Isa’s Stance

There once was a great king named Cyrus.  Cyrus had unbridled power in his kingdom, and no one thought or attempted to cross him.  His power was absolute, and he wielded that power with impunity; he was known as “the humiliator of his enemies.”; he was feared yet respected far and wide. Cyrus had one […]

Mike’s Away

My big brother, Michael Ahearn, died at age 56.  My nieces, Shelby and Nicki, asked me if I would write his obituary.  This is the second time I have been asked to write the obituary of one of my siblings at the much too early age of 56.  My oldest sister, Lori, died at age […]
