Welcome.

I'm probably best known for helping medical students and faculty members (at Brown University) cultivate and integrate their intuition with their practice. Since 1983 I have done thousands of intuitive medical readings; taught numerous classes on intuition both on land, water, and with dolphins; written three books and a novel, and created a series of CD's designed to help the listener relax, image, heal themselves, and create.

Before realizing that my search for truth was really a quest for deeper spiritual meaning, I snugly settled into an educational system that valued analytical reasoning. I chose to spend my time, my energy, and my mind building a career in the mental health field. Starting as a therapist for the Addiction Research Foundation in Toronto, I returned to the US to teach college level psychology classes and direct a continuing education program for mental health workers. But in the early '80s my carefully designed world of psychology and mental health flipped upside down. Working as an analyst for the state attorney general, I had a precognitive experience that was so detailed and accurate that it changed the way I saw reality.

(This story (and more) are in my latest book, A Hidden Order.)

Last fall I was invited to attend a women's retreat on an island off the coast of Maine. This was the first time in many years that I took time to simply be, without thought as to the next book, CD, or seminar that I would be leading. I knew when I left that change was afoot...that what I had been doing for two decades was incomplete. I felt lazy because I did not feel I had reached my potential, nor the potential to share what I did "know" (from the Gnosis of Know) with others. Aware that intuition had become a common buzz word, popular with the media and over used, just as the word is quantum overused today, I sensed that I was was missing something, something big.

Years ago, when I began to explore the intuitive process, I was fascinated with the possibility that thoughts, or some of them, seemed to create reality (or my perception of it). What a magical world this is, I reasoned, that we do have the power to create. Intuition is only one end of the spectrum...creation being the other.

And for years Michael has asked, "How do we make this practical?" "How do we take this from philosophy and apply it to experience?"

The weekend retreat ended with one of the leaders giving me a poem by David Whyte, which said it all:

THE JOURNEY

Above the mountains the geese turn into the light again painting their black silhouettes on an open sky.

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you.

Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart.

Sometimes with the bones of the black sticks left when the fire has gone out someone has written something new in the ashes of your life.

You are not leaving you are arriving.

"You" are not leaving. . . "you" are arriving.

Subsequently, a whole stream of events, unforeseen incidents, meetings and unusual assistance came my way.

The movie, "What the bleep" as well as numerous teachers, books and articles, suggest that we create our reality based on our emotional state (which conjures up memories of what has gone before, including our limitations).

Perhaps intuitive knowing is simply being aware of what we are creating. Perhaps those of us who have been exploring and talking about intuition for so many years only have a small piece of "what is."

Perhaps it's time to move beyond the new age thought of "simply visualize" and it happens, in order to discover who and what we are...and how we create.

Neville wrote that, "Man moves in a world that is nothing more or less than his consciousness objectified." If so, why has this imperative been discovered by so relatively few individuals? Presently, I have a hypothesis that I am personally checking out.

Stay tuned.
