Family Matters Most

Family Matters Most “Sacrifice. Family. Love,” he thought. Late nights. Tortureous clients. More zeros in the bank.  “For them,” be believed. Then during a Pranic Psychotherapy Healing Session for anxiety – The Healer’s hands circling – he felt it.  Heart and Solar Plexus Chakras dim as dirt. He froze.  The imbalances weren’t in his clients.  […]

Unblocked

Unblocked The Healer’s hands circled above Charlotte’s Solar Plexus Chakras – 2,369 miles away.  Yes, to help heal. But more to listen.  Shadows clung like vines. Old fears. Forgotten pain. Debilitating programs. Emotional baggage. Energetic clutter. The Healer loosened them gently. Silent threads snapping in the unseen distance.  Charlotte felt her breath deepen. Light stirred […]

Pride. Respect. Trust.

Pride. Respect. Trust. “Papa. Ready for takeoff?” Indeed. With calm and confidence.  I’d seen him work for this license, grades, a side job. Accept challenges men twice his age dodge. The plane lifted. Earth and sea folded away beneath us.  He talked to the tower in a Captain’s voice. Like it was his first language.  […]

E Chord and Other Forms of Cruelty

E Chord and Other Forms of Cruelty “Ow. Seriously?” Sera blinked at her fingers like they’d betrayed her. “Welcome to your first guitar lesson,” I said, smirking.  She narrowed her eyes. “You didn’t say it was medieval torture.” My last student lasted one lesson…bailed almost before starting.   But Sera? Motivated. I think she’ll make it.  […]

“It Depends…”

“It Depends…” She scanned the eternal case list.  She paired hands with hearts. Souls to souls. One-by-one. Around the globe.   Zoom squares flickered. Cancer cells disintegrated in Philly. Pain vanished in Mumbai. Her crystal hovered – guiding invisible healing light. And us.  “Alison, how do I handle…?”  “Well…it depends.”  I smiled.  It always started like […]

Revelation In The Grocery Line

Revelation In The Grocery Line He cursed under his breath. Damn! Late, again. The old woman ahead of him was counting out coins. One-by-one. Very slowly. He twitched. Almost said something.  Almost. Then he saw her hands. Shaking. Wedding ring worn thin. A bruise just under her sleeve. He exhaled. Softened.  “I got it,” he […]

Love Is The Bridge

Love Is The Bridge He hated hospitals. The antiseptic stink. The beeping machines. The helplessness. Still, he held her hand. Soft now. Not like before. “I brought your favorite,” he whispered, holding up a sandwich from that place on 3rd. She didn’t move. He unwrapped it anyway. Took a bite. Told her how the barista […]

The 3 O’Clock Curse

The 3 PM Curse By 2:57 p.m., 11-year-old Cody started squinting. By 3:12, he was curled up. The nurse’s office again.   Fists clenched. Eyes shut. Pain pounding behind them. Doctors said maybe stress. Or sinuses. Or screens. MRI said nothing. His folks tried everything. Three months. Hope was thin. Until one day his mom whispered, […]

The Noise Complaint

The Noise Complaint Ben banged on the neighbor’s door.  Third time that week. “Turn it down, damnit!” Some of us work early!” The door creaked open. A sixteenish girl. Puffy Eyes. Red Nose. Music off now.  “Sorry,” she said. “It’s just that… Well, when the music’s loud enough, I can’t hear Mom and Dad screaming.” […]

Voicemail At 3 AM

Voicemail At 3 AM 3AM. Smoke alarm screeching.  Jess fumbled the skillet off the burner. Waved smoke with a dish towel.  Phone buzzed – Mom’s weekly voicemail meditation podcast… “For your stress.” She laughed. Stress? Try three jobs. A cheating ex. A never sleeping body. An uncontrollable mind.    But the real fire wasn’t the kitchen. […]
