The Way of the Witch
2026’s Journey brought me back into waters I immersed myself in a few years ago and now I’m integrating the last few years of my experience into teachings from yesteryear. Generating Inner Calmness…Retracting Energy from Yesteryear…Overriding my body’s urges to fixate on emotions I regularly regurgitated…Magnetizing my Heart. The Way of the Witch. It hit me this morning while on the treadmill! All of these practices regarding Controlling how you Feel…Choosing your Thoug

Gratitude List | New Morning Routine Addition
Higher Mind, The Muse, inspired me to create a new addition to my morning routine....A Gratitude List! This is just another expression of my 2026's REVOLUTION word-of-the-year. To Withdraw my Energy and my Reactions (as best as I can) to the External World's Theatre involving people, places, things. To Generate an Inner State of Calmness! I am inspired to copy and paste my most recent newsletter to this entry which describes my new Gratitude List practice and how it enhances

Consciousness Recognizing ‘New Chapter’
Sunday, January 25 th 2026, the day of the Long Island Blizzard. My fingers are warmed up from spending the last 30 minutes practicing the piano so I’m able to type-type-type without any delays! I felt inspired to write about my experience yesterday when I felt my entire Mind/Body/Spirit System recognize the ‘New Chapter’ of my life. This recognition resulted into a handful of hours crippled by a tight chest and a sour-grade damper on my system which I can only relate thes

Morning Practice: Neutrality, Resist Extremes, & Social Media Exposure Disaster
It is Essential to cultivate a Morning Practice that emphasizes the State of Neutrality in order to alleviate yourself from the energy of yesteryear, move yourself into a clear landscape, and to elevate your conscious mind to the Whispers from Higher Mind. Its been well over a year since my latest quitting of social media (many back and forth quitting over the years) and I finally cut the chord to Reddit along with severely limiting my time spent on YouTube. The idea of wak

Synch: TCM, Wholeness, & REVOLUTION
Following last week’s message in my newsletter, Higher Mind journeyed me through a new phase of my life as I continue 2026’s Word of the Year…REVOLUTION. I followed inspiration, the Breadcrumbs, which led me back to my 2024’s interest in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I read “The Complete Book of Chinese Health & Healing” by Daniel Reid and I took very thorough notes as I digested the material. My goodness, the philosophy, the structure, the nature, and the system of TCM speak

PSI, Sylvia, & Food!
Yesterday, my mother’s birthday who-is-up-in-heaven, was day full of delicious food, Sylvia Browne, and PSI. The day started off with a bowl of oatmeal and fruit…my favorite breakfast! I decided to not make my daily-breakfast-smoothie, but I crafted that morning potion today to drink as I write this entry. I was off from my day-job so I was inspired to pull my favorite Sylvia Browne book off of my bookshelf to read as I took a break from “How Not To Die”. I wrote about

Hello, 2026! Word of the Year: Revolution
Another year, another entry detailing the hopes, wishes, and desires for the course of the next twelve months. I'm brewing my afternoon cup of coffee as I'm nourishing a happy belly full of some delicious avocado + tomato toast! The creamy texture and juicy bites help me to combat my body's desire to suck on a metal nipple aka nicotine vape. Its been 4 Days 16 Hours 18 Minutes and 9 Seconds since I quite nicotine/vaping/smoking. I guess I got ahead of any New Years' Resolutio
