Do you ever find yourself all wrapped up about a future outcome feeling like you are fending off negativity at every turn? Or does your mind run willy nilly to a past hurt as if it just happened? Do you live in constant emotional chaos?
While obviously and physically here right now, most people barely visit the present moment rushing from past regrets and future trauma. The human mind has the incredible capacity to draw you back into the past and/or propel you into the future, all while you go about …

People often ask me for advanced techniques. “Colette,” they often say, “I’m on the path to be more enlightened. What are some more sophisticated ways I can connect with the Divine?” Or, they might say, “I feel like I’ve mastered everything. Will you share something more advanced?”
So, what do I say? My answer to these types of questions often elicits a perplexed look. I tell him or her that they should first consider their motives behind their motivation to become more advanced. “Sometimes,” I say, “you have to first forget …

Growing older is an …

Ever feel like the walls of worry, nervousness, and unease are closing in on you? Are anxiety and catastrophic thinking starting to wreck havoc on your peace of mind?
Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety and unease from time to time. In fact, it’s a very normal reaction to stress. It helps us deal with a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, and keep focused on an important speech. In these situations, it helps us cope and become more alert. But, what do you do when you’re feeling …

I have some important advice to give you before starting today’s blog: You should always test psychics with a knock knock joke.  If they say, “Who’s there?” then get up and leave.
Okay, maybe I’m not a bona fide comedian, but I hope that joke gave you a chuckle… because adding more laughter to your life is one of the most transformative steps you can take! A chuckle a day is proven to not only help keep the doctor away, but also transform your outlook, strengthen your relationships, advance your career, …

I had a shazam moment yesterday. We’re gearing up for a cross-country move right now, and have so much to do in such little time. From packing and saying goodbye to Sedona to getting settled in our new home in Portsmouth, NH, my mind was moving a roller coaster speed: “What should we pack first?” “How are we going to get everything all squared away over the next few weeks?” “What if things don’t go smoothly?” On and on I worried.

Relationships are, after all, an intrinsic part of our human experience. They are one of the most important aspects of our lives and help us evolve on our path. Yet, for many of us, love is also incredibly frustrating. It’s something that we all want, yet for many of …

For nearly two years, I poured my heart and soul into writing The Map, and that’s in addition to the 22 years I spent perfecting the exercises as …

The astrology we use today was formulated thousands of years ago, when humanity first settled in communities. Initially the objective was to track the seasons and to predict the regular flooding of rivers. The signs we know so well evolved from those observations, and were the foundations for the dates of today’s star signs.
So, although the signs are based on the constellations, their dates are determined by the seasons. The first moment of spring is the beginning of Aries, summer, Cancer and so on. So the recent “discovery” of a …
