Brightest Blessings, Dear Ones …
We come to you with so much LOVE … and invitations to join us Online for Sessions, Practices, etc., and with a heartfelt message from Debra, along with tools to help you cope and thrive through this time of transformation.
It’s been a month since we shared our last message with you all, and the time space reality in between has been like none other … ever … for any of us.
These waters we’re all navigating together are uncharted, for sure.
It is our prayer that this message reaches each of you in optimum wellBEing, safety, LOVE LIGHT and wholeness.
Each day we awaken from the night’s slumber, the Sanctuary nature that surrounds us continues to assure us that all is well … that the rhythms and cycles of All That Is continue to pulse strong in the direction of Transformation and Rebirth.
Each day we awaken, within our breath, the same assurance is there … we breathe, therefore we have within us the power to transform, rebirth, and create moment to moment.
There’s never been a more potent invitation than the one that has presented itself to all of us, globally, together … at once … to awaken to the Essence of Love Light that we truly are, to realize our supreme connection and ONEness with Nature, with one another, with All That Is … and to create every moment forward in conscious presence, harmony and intentful respect for all life, in all ways.
For more personal and supportive musings from Debra, follow below the Current Online Offerings section.

Soul Family reUNION 2020 — Stay tuned! We are not yet ready to make an official announcement. For now, it feels good to hold on to HOPE and the promise of the magic and LOVE that will BE when we all gather.
Upcoming !!! Mandala Media Podcast Network !!!
Mark is excitedly launching a podcast network!! This has been a long held vision that we are opening to new co-creative energy. The vision is to work collaboratively with others who feel inspired to bring co-creative, conscious, loving awareness oriented podcasts together under one beautiful umbrella. If anyone you know is either already producing a podcast that you feel is a great fit, or has been pondering the notion of conscious podcasting in any given area (art, film, food, music, spirituality, transformation, nature, quantum realities, higher consciousness, etc.) and is wondering how to get started, please connect them with us so that we can engage in inspired conversation around what’s possible.
As this vision manifests, we will be looking for fitting established content (produced podcasts), people interested in co-creating new podcast content under various topic/themes, and we’d also love to collaborate with people who are happy to support the tech behind the scenes with video and audio editing, copywriting, social media sharing, etc.
It takes a village! And, we know that this Loving Awareness Soul Family has amazing gifts and talents! Let’s bring our gifts alive, together! Reach out if you feel a spark of interest or inspired enthusiasm!
Mark and I produced two podcasts when we lived on Kauai, many years back when podcasting was first birthing. We loved the process and enjoyed meeting amazing people through our shows. We’re eager to begin creating forward anew in this medium.
Debra’s Musings and Support, continued …
I wonder if this time is bringing interesting emotions, past traumas, old patterns and dynamics to the surface for any of you, the way it absolutely is/has for me? (This is a very cleansing and purifying time on all levels!)
And if so, are you embracing those feelings and experiences as great messengers of this time, sent to offer deep revelations and healings … allowing these challenging and at the same time, precious and grace filled moments to open space for great shifts and transformation, within?
I know I am … and I envision you all doing the same, when presented the opportunities.
I’ve recognized that this time is very representative of our ONEness, expressed through the uniqueness of our self-ness … and the merging of that expression into our waking, purposeful, conscious reality.
What do I mean by that? Each of us (self) is a micro-cosmic expression of the ONE (whole/totality).
When one of us experiences something, so does the All, the ONE.
This is a time for us to get clearer and clearer on what it is to KNOW our Infinite Nature — merged in perfect union, harmony and expression with our Finite Nature.
If not now, when? And why not?
Why else would we have chosen to BE here, Now?
Sometimes in spiritual practice circles, we can tend to get caught up in the idea of what it is to elevate beyond the physical experience, to know and realize the Infinite. It’s truly not so much about that. We are HERE, Now, in physical nature … on purpose.
It has to be then, more about bringing the Infinite Nature that we are alive in this physical expression in as many beautiful, wild and creative ways as we can … synergizing with all of Nature.
It’s a time to truly embark on the journey of breathing Infinity through the experience of our Now Finite Nature.
Basically, BEing Infinity, expressed here and Now.
It’s been very clear to me that as I navigate — WITNESS, allow, tend to, embrace, process, go deep with, journey through — my own story, my own EarthSelf (human) experiences of emotional upheaval, cleansing and purifying, old traumas surfacing, old mind patterns, anxieties, fears, panic, etc., that have been bubbling up to the surface — that if I witness from the state of my Infinite Presence, I am not swept up in the current, and I can remain calm and clear as I survey the feelings, sensations and the landscape of the mind.
It is also clear that if I forget that I AM simply the observer — that I AM not the identity or the experience itself — that I can easily get swept up in the antics of this mind and my whole physical self (my cells, my all), and swept up in that current and a belief of imbalance and unwellness can set in … IF I allow it.
These are times that put our practice to work!
What will we become conscious of?
What will we observe?
What will we allow?
It is clear that when anxiety and panic rise up in me, that they are processing (and usually generating) through and from the mind, which is not my totality, and is certainly not the All of Who I Really Am.
This doesn’t make the experiences (emotional upset, anxiety, fear, etc.) any more comforting or less real —
It does however put it all into a context and perspective where I can see my way through and begin to rise up to claim the Inner Truth that is ever-constant and surely guiding from within … and that IS comforting, when I can reach for, and get into that space of integrated allowing.
This time is giving me the opportunity to more fully practice and embody the Truths that I know to be Real.
It hasn’t been comfortable. It hasn’t been my preferred sunshine and roses.
But! Even that is only true to the extent that I HAVE ALLOWED it to be so.
I Am responsible for my own journey, and my own allowing.
The gifts of this time have been immense — and intense. 🙂
If any of you have chosen to read this far … and would be interested in further discussing these ponderings and how they may relate or resonate in your own experience, let me know. Perhaps some Zoom (or podcast!) conversations around this very growth and expansion could be in our future. 🙂
Here are some tools that I’ve been utilizing and feeling extra super grateful for through this experience:
** We focus on many of these during our online sessions!
- Conscious Breath (Source has been guiding this importance for well over 5 years now, increasingly so over the last 3. Now, I know why. Come practice with us on Zoom and FB for reminders on how to stay centered in the breath!)
- Mantra Repetition (and specifically listening to intuitive guidance as to which mantra, when … for example, for me repeating I Am Loving Awareness has been a gift like never before. Also, Gayatri Mantra has taken on even more significant power and purpose during this time. Gobinday Mukanday (sustainer/liberator energy) also super supportive … and so many more!)
- Gratitude Focus (giving gratitude, saying the words THANK YOU throughout the day, and especially before sleep time for absolutely every single thing that comes to heart that I am grateful for. There is always a long list!)
- Singing!! (bringing breath into sound through singing will always be one of the greatest energy movers and powerful healing tools available to us.)
- Self Love — Self Acceptance (this is the perfect time to get radically loving and accepting of yourSelf … go ALL IN. Love yourSelf MORE. Accept yourSelf MORE. And then do that some more. You deserve it. No one can do this for you. It’s a gift only You can give yourSelf. Nurture yourSelf, take extra good care!)
- Immersing in Nature (steeping in nature, especially locally now as she comes awake from slumber and rebirths into full aliveness … it’s the most balancing and centering gift we can give ourselves. Keep on hugging the trees!! Dig in the dirt, plant some seeds, tend to a garden, walk in the grass, lay your bellies on a mossy rock or landing!!)
- Movement!! (moving the physical body is KEY! Walk, run, dance, MOVE your BEing bodies — it facilitates in moving energy!!)
- Allowing the Flow (sounds easy, right? Allowing, embracing, honoring … all the feels, all the emotions, the ups, the downs, the All. Accepting, acknowledging, allowing … repeat — without judgement, guilt … breathe and relax out of the self mind, into the heart of the Infinite Mind where flow just is … allow.)
- Healthy Detachment (letting go and allowing flow … syncing with inspired action. How often in our lives have we had the opportunity and space for more of this orientation? Use this space to practice!)
- Eating high vibration plant based foods (seriously SO key!! Veggies and Fruits … eat the rainbow every single day!!)
- Drinking plenty of water!! (enough so you feel you may just float away!! Water keeps things moving through … pray over, activate and energize your water intentionally … give it some heart magic and it’ll be even more potent alchemy for you!)
- Flower Power and other homegrown herbal apothecary support (our flower essences offer huge support in the way of intuitive energy wisdom from the nature realm … each week I’m guided to create a new blend to support the energies I’m navigating. I feel so supported and embraced by the nature realm and the Sanctuary! If you’d like me to work with the flowers to create a custom blend for you, let me know!)
- Reaching out, asking for help and support when needed, and stay connected (we’re all in this together! As a guide, healer, teacher myself, sometimes the most challenging thing for me is asking someone else for help. I tell myself silly stories like I should be able to take care of myself. Guess what? That’s not a story I’m carrying forward any more, and I don’t want you to either. (HUGE gratitude to my Earth Angel friends & family that have offered up support to Mark and I during this time in so many ways! We LOVE You x Infinity!!)
If you need help, support, encouragement, connection, etc… reach out to a friend, family member, healer, guide … whomever feels right for you in that moment, reach out and ASK for the help you need. As a humanity, we thrive on connection and a sense of belonging. Let’s remember that during a time when we’re being asked to self-isolate that it doesn’t mean to go it all alone. Physicality does not determine our sense of connection and union. That is something we cultivate and nurture within. This time is showing us how to navigate that…and thank heavens for the interwebs that allow us all to stay connected, to even be able to ‘see’ each other when we can’t be physically close. I love you! I feel you! We are ONE!! Truly. ONE. - Sleep!! (can that be a tool? I feel so. Deep rest is integral to our sense of calm and rest and it’s also a huge component to a boosted immune system. Deeper more restful sleep is facilitated by utilizing all of these other tools!)
- Life as Meditation (bringing sacred presence and Loving Awareness consciously to every breath, every moment — moment to moment, breath to breath.)
We hope you’ve found this update to be supportive!
If you have any questions, or reflections … inspired feedback, please connect!
In eager JOY, we’re looking forward to sharing the circle with you … see you in the Zoom Sanctuary or on FB Live super soon!
Infinite Love Light HUGS to All!!!
Debra and Mark
Loving Awareness Sanctuary
