How do you get paid for spiritual, creative, emotional gifts?
Here’s the full question that arrived in my inbox:
“I came from a background that doesn’t value the gifts that I have developed. How can I learn to value my spiritual, creative and emotional gifts enough to feel that they are worth being paid for? If I don’t value them and see them as marketable, who will?”
Great question!
Here’s what I say a thousand times to clients: how you vote on your value from one hour to the next is not reliable or even useful.
Ever get tired of giving the same things over & over? Spice up your gift giving & amaze your lover!

If we're open, life gives us opportunities to learn spiritual lessons, often in unexpected places.
Close to my house, and on my way to just about every place I drive, there is a five way intersection. If you’ve ever been through a five way intersection, you know that things can get a little dicey when there are more than a couple cars at any one time.

Introduce an uncertain or aggressive driver into the mix, however, and things can go bad very quickly!
Does endless orgasmic energy sound like fun to you? Try tantric sex.
Cue two naked couples, both in sexual scenarios.
Couple 1: attacks each other like wild animals, both racing to the big O.
Couple 2: takes their time, pleasing each other in various kama sutra-like positions, aiming to prolong the act of sex by channeling sexual energy and increasing intimacy, letting go of all reservations and connecting to their sexual experience spiritually before engaging in the physical.
In today's fast paced world, it's easy to get energetically depleted to the point where you are drained, just wrung dry of your own inner life force and beauty.
This is where Reiki comes to the rescue.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese word that means "universal life force energy," which is just a complicated way of saying, "unconditional pure love." The first known person to use what is now called "Reiki" was the young prince who became the Buddha, but it is not Buddhist.
Why traveling to sacred sites can make you magnetic to your soul mate.
I believe that in the modern world, while being raised to be part of society, we automatically disconnect from the wild magic we were born with. How can we find our own true love, when the truest part of us is missing?
My years of spiritual practice has taught me that each of us is imprinted with specific, unique knowledge that we were always meant to share with the world at large, and with our love partner in particular.

Take care of yourself just by setting aside some alone time.
When I tell other women about my hour of self-imposed isolation, they seem to become anxious. Some feel that the desire to be alone, without the company of others, is unnatural and maybe even too self-indulgent.

In this eastern Indian village, marrying our one, true loyal mate could become a reality.
On Monday in the Jajpur district, a toddler was wedded in holy matrimony with a caramel-colored lady pooch. The marriage ceremony was traditional. There was a feast and priests chanted Sankrit prayers and hymns. The whole nine yards.
While we're sure dog and boy will care for each other in sickness and health, until death do they part and all that good stuff, the union wasn't a pairing of passion and true love. Shocking, we know. Rather the arranged marriage took place to help ward off "evil spirits and bad luck" in the "tribal dominated" Patarpur village. Apparently, it is considered a good omen to marry a dog. The boy's family hopes the act may in effect reverse a tooth defect ailing the kid. Children getting married to dogs is actually a pretty popular practice in order to ward off and protect them from evil spirits and ghosts.

People often confuse sex and sexuality with love. Using Tantric practice it's possible to enjoy more oneness during sex. It's more than just about the act, it encompasses all of the senses and should be an 'in the moment' event.
