When I started down this path it felt dark and twisted Each thorn that drew blood told me to turn back. Each corner of the maze felt more twisted than the last. I tried to leave the way I entered but it was too late. So I moved forward against my will resisting every step. My head cocked looking for the light from which I had come. Somewhere along the way that light faded into darkness Surrender was my only choice. Pure darkness…a void from which all life is created. I felt my heart open. The light inside of me suddenly there to lead my way. This is the moment I saw the rosebuds through the thorns. I moved forward with the strength of an open heart. As I reached the center, the path of thorns opened to a garden of roses… Each rose held a song of love Each song held a string to my heart. Tears ran down my cheeks in awe of the beauty Over taken by the love of the one who designed this Garden just for me Who trusted me to journey to the inner Chambers of His Heart To receive His love as only he knows how to give it. And So I lay my head down upon the rose petals Resting here within this love for all of eternity. ~ Sheila Applegate ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As a clinical therapist, motivational presenter, author and teacher, Sheila Applegate’s passion is to provide a forum for people to process emotion and integrate spiritual understanding into their daily lives.

I believe in past lives. It makes sense to me. Not because I was raised to believe in them, but because something inside of me tells me it is true and because I remember past lives as easily as I remember my childhood. When I was young, my mother told me how my neighbor was nice to the mice in her garage because “she believes in this thing called reincarnation and she thinks the mice might be her dead relatives.” I remember looking out at my neighbor’s garage and telling myself that, while I really didn’t think the mouse in her garage was her dead uncle, the idea of living more than one life made sense to me. Later, when I was a mother myself, my 2-year-old daughter said to me from the back seat of the car, “You weren’t always my mom, the mom I had most is still in heaven.” She continued, “…and besides, I used to be the mom.” It is in a moment like this that a mother takes notice. I made a vow then and there to love, nurture, and guide her while always respecting the ancient wisdom of her soul. A couple of years later, again from the back seat of the car, I heard from the same sweet mouth, “Mom, did you know that some people don’t believe in past lives? Well that just makes no sense because they’ve all had them.” So I believe in past lives. It is natural for me to believe in them. However, I don’t think that one has to believe in past lives in order to...

WOW! What an amazing year 2011 is so far…and its only been one month! The energies are so powerful. as we enter this year of co-creating. The general theme that I am seeing in my own life and the people around me, is dreams coming true. So many people are seeing long term dreams finally manifesting into their physical reality. We have finally arrived! Instant manifestation is no longer a theory it is a way of being! Take time to celebrate and rest into this… it is only the beginning. As we step into the fullness of a light filled life, many people are also expressing a dance with their shadows surfacing. This is a natural reaction to stepping into the light. Remember it is the dance between light and shadows that allows us to experience the full spectrum of color which makes our lives so incredibly beautiful! Allow the sacred dance to be simply that.. a dance. Rest into the emotions as they arise. Be compassionate with your ego side, reminding your primitive self that it has nothing to fear. Then simply draw your attention back to all the joys you are experiencing in this wonderful time. Enjoy! As you know, it has always been my passion to empower people through teaching them to embrace their own spiritual gifts. As I have grown in my own process of awakening to the Enchanted One, the gifts that I have to offer you have also evolved. For me, this past year has been a year of integration. I am overjoyed to say that I am now experiencing an enchanted life...
