Growing up with a direct voice channel for a mom has been an amazing and sometimes isolating experience. As a small child it was very natural and normal. Having THEO in my life was a bit like having another wise grandparent in the family. During this time people talked about mother’s intuition and them having eyes in the back of their head and being everywhere at once. Yes, this sounded familiar to me, although I never did find the extra set of eyes. Fortunately, Sheila and I have always had a strong connection and I feel blessed to have such a wonderful mom. She really is a caring, fun, insightful and down to earth person.
As I grew I realized not only was my mom’s gift unusual but some people were even scared by her abilities. Needless to say I didn’t start conversations by saying, “Guess what my mom can do?” In my teens luckily it started balancing out and I discovered it was easier if my friends met her before I told them she could channel THEO. Since they already saw the fun loving and normal mom the idea of her channeling didn’t seem as strange.
Now that I’m forty people talk openly about their communication with spirits, near death experiences, precognitive dreams and needing to go get their energy balanced. Our culture is getting more comfortable with their own intuitive abilities and it is cathartic and fun hearing others experiences. It is no longer as isolating and now with the internet we can connect with others of like mind around the world.
It is in this spirit of connection that I encouraged Marcus and Sheila to set up a forum that would allow those of you who are interested in sharing and learning together, a space to post and share your experiences. I’m excited that we have an area where we can co-create a safe environment for all of us to grow and reflect. So I’m hoping you will join the experience.
“When things are experiential, it is difficult to describe in words, for the words are limiting to the experience. Do you understand? We wish people to enjoy and to experience the experience.” - THEO
Looking forward to reading your thoughts!

When I was small there were often times I wanted to be Samantha from Bewitched and wiggle my nose and have things magically change. (When I was small…who am I kidding, I would love to wiggle my nose and have my house clean and dinner made tonight.) What does seem to be a bit magical and within our grasp is the intuition and guidance I believe we all have available to us. I liken ‘openness to your intuition’ and ‘awareness of guidance,’ to playing the flute; some have a natural gift and can pick it up and play while others must practice to play beautiful music. I know there are those of you thinking, how do you practice connecting with guidance? I believe a key component is meditation. Meditation has allowed me to quiet my mind so I can listen to my inner/higher self and open to the guidance about me.
THEO speaks about meditation as being fundamental in allowing us to: communicate with our spiritual guides, balance our energy, connect with our higher self, experience peace and joy, manifest abundance, sustain a healthful state as well as open us up to full soul integration.
“We speak often of meditation, and it seems redundant to do so, but that is the best form the quietness of mind. Meditate regularly, needs not be great lengths of time, but this allows you to rest the physical body and align with the higher frequencies allowing for a better healthful state. And this allows one to come into balance and openness to the universal energies that are ever present.
When ones become very adept and find a great sense of well being within that state would prefer a bit of longer meditative process daily than not. However, in the beginning it is to meditate a few minutes daily, habitually. Chose the form that is psychologically and emotionally comfortable to you. There are moving meditations, there are meditations to be sitting quietly, there are meditations to be done in nature. So it is whatever is acceptable to one at the time to utilize the quietness of mind, the centering of self. And breathing deeply and exhaling completely so one is fully present in body. Meditation is physiologically excellent, for it allows a rest for the nervous system; it allows a quietness; it allows the body to come into balance. So a meditation is a function that assists in the whole body balance. Daily meditation induces a lightness of being and connectedness to our souls.” THEO
THEO, how do we surrender and move into a place of allowing all of the magnificence to come into our lives verses the doing that we are all so human and expert at doing?
“That is what meditation is, the allowance. The quieting the mind - the non-doing. It is a rest for the physical body and it is an allowance for the soul to be illumined.” THEO
I know when I meditate on a regular basis I am more peaceful, feel more connected/more aware and live my life in a more loving manner. I don’t have a meditation regime, sometimes it is two minutes of sitting quietly focusing on my breathing and other times it is listening to one of THEO’s guided meditations. They both help bring the best of me into my daily experience. I can say, enthusiastically, I really enjoy THEO’s guided meditations. Having a guide through a meditation helps quiet my mind, I like the variety of meditations and I resonate with THEO’s energy. If you haven’t tried a guided meditation I encourage you to try out our complimentary guided meditation Awakening to the Soul.
If you’ve used one of THEO’s guided meditations please feel free to share your experience by clicking on the comment link below.
Here’s to more peace and joy – and if anyone figures out the Samantha nose wiggle thing, please let me know.
