Should You Affirm What You Want or Surrender to Spirit?
Dear Meli, In my years of spiritual studies, I've noticed two different contradicting ideas. Some spiritual teachers say that I'm supposed to surrender to Spirit and let It take care of everything. Other spiritual teachers say that I'm in charge of my own destiny, and...
Swearing as a Spiritual Practice
“Holy people don’t swear.” “Swearing pollutes your consciousness.” “If you swear, you’re very bad. And no one likes you. And you probably smell.” Okay, that last one was a stretch, but you get the idea. Swearing and spirituality are generally seen as enemies. Indeed,...
How Can I Turn Heartbreak into Healing?
Dear Meli, Three years ago, I met a great guy. This was the man of my dreams. He was into spiritual stuff, he was really kind, and he wasn't bad looking either. We hung out for about a year and everything was going great. Then, all of a sudden, he stopped calling. I...
What to Do About the Low-Vibe Peeps in Your Life
We all have them. No matter what vibration we’re normally groovin’ on, we all have people in our lives who are groovin’ – or not really groovin’ at all – on a much lower vibe. We also may be fortunate enough to have people in our lives who are groovin’ on a way higher...
Can We Ever Heal Our Childhood Wounds?

Who’s in Charge of Your Life? Your Self or Your Elf?
A while back, I wrote a post about the elf self. The elf self is a kinder, gentler name for the ego. It’s the part of us that’s cut off from our Higher Self. Or thinks it’s cut off from our Higher Self. Self – S(pirit) = elf. Get it?! Viewing the ego as an elf is...
Is There a Spiritual Cure for Sibling Rivalry?
Dear Meli, This is a little embarrassing. I know I'm too old be be saying this, but... My parents like my sister better and it hurts my feelings. And that's the problem! I don't want to be feeling this way. I want to be the bigger person and just let it go. But I...
The Alternative to Gratitude
Gratitude is big these days. Oprah’s crazy about it. Scientific studies are being done about it. Everywhere you turn, someone is extolling the virtues of having a gratitude practice – including me! But there’s an alternative practice to gratitude, one that no one ever...
How Do I Handle Spiritual Body Shamers?
Dear Meli, I am an active member of a spiritual community. I have been in this community for a long time, and have always considered myself a valuable member. Others in the community treat me with respect and kindness. Lately, however, there has been a change. A new...
How to Be Happy When You Haven’t Accomplished Your Goals Yet
I don’t know about you, but I love getting stuff done. It feels sooooo good. So satisfying. And yet. When all the focus is on getting to a goal, whatever that goal may be – whether it’s losing weight, or getting a new job, or becoming spiritually enlightened – all...
How Do I Handle My Fire Trauma?
Dear Meli, I know that you live in Sonoma County, so I'm curious to hear your take on this. I was evacuated from my home during the wildfires in Santa Rosa. I was out of my house for about a week, but after that I was able to return home. Not everyone was so lucky. I...
What to Do About the Drunk Guy in Your Head
We all have him. You may not always hear him, but he’s there. Spouting loud, obnoxious stuff. Blatant lies. Cruel insults. Most people call it the ego, but lately I’ve come to see this aspect of myself as a loud, sloppy drunk dude. Yes, it’s a dude. There are...
