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

Baseline State of Neutrality & Toxic Positivity
An experience at the gym reminded me of the possibilities for people to twist and abuse certain teachings to disassociate from the world, disregard one’s feelings, and to live with rose-colored glasses. Understanding the power of Generating Inner Calmness and to live in a Baseline State of Neutrality are both key aspects to navigating this Realm while tuned into Spirit. To find ways to cultivate a sense of Well-Being from Within Self rather than relying on an external sourc

Creation & Tuning To Spirit | Abraham Hicks Lens
The Law of Attraction. Such a buzzword in certain communities and this concept, theory, idea (in my experience) has evidence to be of an Aspect of Life. However, I feel that this principle is often butchered, beaten, and bastardized which ultimately becomes a disservice to those who wish to participate in change. Recently, I’ve been guided by Higher Mind to jump back into some Abraham Hicks material. I was very interested in this teacher during 2019 and I found a lot of value

'Breathing Out' Memories Strategy
January 2026 anchored into my word-of-the-year and REVOLUTION surrounds my Mind Tool to be of Awareness and Consciously Choose to Direct my Energy, Attention, and Spirit. I wrote about how I decided to quit vaping/nicotine at the end of December 2025. Higher Mind sent me a Breadcrumb and I decided to embrace this challenge to release myself from nicotine’s grip which has strangled me since I was 18. And! I decided to put that ~$120 a month I’m saving toward Piano Lessons! Win

Science and Experience of Change
I have been reflecting on the last twelve months and their winds of change that swept me under their wings as I engaged in Active Participation. Yesterday, I felt the Muse guide me to my bookshelf where I pulled out two Dr. Joe Dispenza books. Two reminders of a different Lens to Perceive what I felt like I underwent throughout 2025 and into this new year of 2026. I am interested in the idea of Change, how to be an Active Participant in Change, and to work with Higher Mind

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

Intelligence & Mystical Scientist
Exploring “Spiritual” Expressions of our realm of experience within the confines of these Time/Space & Mind/Body/Spirit Constructs require our Whole-Minded Intelligence (Healthy Logic Mind & Psychic Art Mind) and our Humility. Diving into the Layers of Reality, our PSI Skills, and Metaphysical Principles are for the Mystical Scientist rather than the Fool who believes that regurgitating memorized facts and formulas dictates supreme intelligence. One must be Willing to not

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

Participate in Active Change
Sunday morning, dishes are cleaned, laundry is whirling around the washer machine, and I’m inspired to write a new entry as I digest my delicious morning smoothie! 2026 is encoded with my word-of-the-year which is REVOLUTION. What would create a Revolution? Active Change and Participating in the Change. Bold Decisions and Intrinsic Motivation.

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

Updates & Holiday Season 2025
12/26/25 At the keyboard, smell of a clean-mopped-floor wafts around me, and my laundry is swirlilng around the washing machine as the Muse inspired me to write a blog entry. It has been a while since this occurred! Weekly Newsletter Messages get posted to my blog so I do have time once a week to exercise my writing (no AI-lame-chat-gee-pee-tee here! Use of AI to write sickens me and saddens me). The Day after Christmas 2025. I hope you had some enjoyment throughout your Ho

Physical Action & Assessment for Solutions
Tuesday morning, ten days before Halloween 2025, and I'm sippin' on some lemon water after returning home from the gym. My morning exercise is crucial for my overall wellbeing! My body shifts into autopilot while my mind enters the Day-Dream State. It is almost like I push a button to engage in auto-mode where my legs keep moving and my mind swims in an ocean. I was inspired to write about the necessity to not neglect the Physical Body while pursuing a 'spiritual state' of ex

OP:HEALTHBOD Progress! Day 168
Today is day 168 of OP:HEALTHBOD! I can't believe it. The Inspiration for OP:HEALTHBOD came after my April 2025 trip to Disney/Universal which started with removing dairy from my life then translated into plant-based living. Eat a primarily whole foods plant-based diet is very easy for me since I was plant-based from 2017 to 2021. The fact that my toes no longer burn after a meal, my body feels light, there's very minimal inflammation in my body, and I enjoy the taste of plan
