Higher Dimensional Insights - December 2025

Hello Dear Friends! Happy Solstice & blessed Holidays!

We’re baaack! Please excuse our absence from our monthly newsletter. Not only are we coming off of the roughest two years of our lives and subsequent transition, we made a huge move to another continent and country. We can finally reveal our destination. Drum roll please. It’s just proper. We now reside in the beautiful country of Portugal! We couldn’t be more ecstatic. It’s like we went from the darkest night possible to the brightest of days, not only energetically, but physically. We live less than two miles from the ocean which we can see and feel and just happens to be within an amazing vortex. After a nightmare upon arrival, the house we had been renting was filled with mold. Neha spent much time looking for a place to live and we ended up in Nazare, (Nazareth) home to 100-foot waves and world class surfing. With our time being limited, we needed to find long-term housing.

Once again, Neha worked tirelessly and was guided to our current home further south. The vortex and community draws conscious beings, and is also a surfing reserve. The beautiful family we rent from are very conscious beings and have introduced us to others who own conscious businesses, and raise their children as such. We are overwhelmed by the kindness of the locals, most of which speak English to our delight. We will, nonetheless, learn their romantic language and their customs. Did I mention that we are ecstatic with gratitude for being guided here? The blessings we have been given are truly mind-blowing, and we have shed a lot of tears of joy. We can even get into the main town now, without the use of Google maps. We have already seen wonderful doctors to help us with our health issues. We both are receiving acupuncture, which is a total blessing, a nutritionist, and specialists in functional medicine.

The food is absolutely delightful, and the mediterranean diet is also doing our bodies well. The food here is pure and without the preservatives and sugars that that are common in the US. Within our six weeks of being here, we have both noticed how much better our bodies feel, and our nervous systems are no longer in fight or flight mode. Having the ability to relax has already done wonders for us mentally, physically, and spiritually. On that quartz mountain in North Carolina, we were under a constant barrage of dark and negative energies. Our cellular selves and central nervous systems brought ailment and dis-ease because of the constant battles. Within this vortex, we are able to breathe, and we both feel alive once again. The saga of Neha and Gary continues, now with hope.

Personally, I’m back to writing daily and actually look forward to my every tomorrow. Neha has the biggest changes within that are most evident, spending much time at the ocean healing. We’ve spoken to friends back in the states through video, and there first comment is always how good we look. They see how relaxed we are and are truly amazed. This is the best thing that has happened on our shared journey outside of the Universe bringing us together.

Did I mention we are ecstatic with our new life? Life is once again beautiful, and the ability to find inner peace and happiness has made a huge difference on our journey. We will be looking for a building to buy this year for our crystal store/healing center. On Monday our belongings from the US will arrive, hopefully intact. Our amazing landlord has already told her friends that as soon as our personal crystals arrive, we will be having a crystal party, since we have more than we want to keep. What a better way to meet more conscious people.

We have been giving so much gratitude for the gifts received here. I pray the Divine doesn’t tire from our constant thanks. I’ll say, in conclusion, follow your dreams my friends. If you have the ability to better your station in life, make it happen. Don’t leave this plane with the regrets of not doing something you need. God bless, and take care of those you love. As we say in Portuguese, Feliz Natal! Merry Christmas!

The Incredible Gifts of Dark Times

Maybe the darkness we traverse does, indeed, help alchemize our inner conflicts and chaos into the open fields of peace. I just saw a recent photo of myself, and I like who I have become. There is no vanity in this at all. I see a woman who has nothing to lose. Still worn from the long road through dark times but made completely new. No more apologies for selfhood needed. No more masks. A strong inner presence, despite a weakened body. Like a child, new here to this world, and not of it. Maybe the darkness we go through does help us discover our heart after it strips everything away that is not authentic.

Maybe we’ve got it all wrong… the search for unending bliss and bright sunshine. Maybe the storms that drench us to the core are the greatest gifts to what really matters in our lives. Far beyond our shallow pleasure seeking and quick gratifications lie the needs of our soul, namely, to evolve beyond the prison we have previously lived within. Call it survival mode, or perception, or cellular memory… Our conditioning and transgenerational emotional patterns keep our freedom limited, and our biggest mistake is believing that our status quo is all there is to life. We get so stuck in our need for safety that we cement ourselves into our comfort zone and live not even half a life.

We are not here to merely exist in the same routine over and over, experiencing change only on the outside as the world shifts and moves about. Our inner changes are either guided by our dire need to be free, or by our need to live the same routine scenarios over and over, out of fear of being touched by life. Has who we have become through our survival so little consideration for our very life that we rather cower in a corner, forever caught in fight or flight, or fawning mode, than to stand tall – small as we may feel in the moment – and face life with all our might, staring it right in the eye and saying: I am here.

We always have choice, but normally, we don’t choose to evolve. To take new classes, to meet new people, and travel new horizons, yes. But to evolve means to become incredibly vulnerable and let go of all that we knew, so that we can become a new version of ourselves altogether. This is not something that can be achieved on a yoga mat or motivational seminar. What moves us forward in our evolution requires a collapse so total that the old foundations have been torn to the ground, and the new can be built from the ashes of what was. No part of this process is conceptual.

When life rips us open through personal loss, disaster, or having to fight for our lives in one form or another, we enter a stage of unbecoming. This is made possible by the loss of control that we are experiencing. Our cemented status quo has literally been destroyed, and we have more forward movement that we can handle. Our hopes and dreams may lie shattered at our feet, our precious stability a flimsy feather in the wind now.

We may begrudge the universe for throwing us from our nest and into the eye of the storm. It may seem that our guides have vanished and God doesn’t care. But none of this is so. When we are going through something so disruptive, we usually loose awareness - for the time being - of our connectedness with the higher dimensions. If we can trust during these difficult times that we are being held and loved, we can bypass a lot of unnecessary pain. Our predicament is already distressing enough; we don’t need to also create the illusion that we have been abandoned by the whole living universe, our ancestors, angels, and life-long spirit guides included.

Clearly, if we are here in this incarnation on a journey of healing and evolution, among other purposes, we will experience a lot of challenges along the way, not to torture us, but to help us evolve into who our spirit needs us to be, and to continually shed what no longer is helpful on our journey.

Honestly, through the sh*t storm that these past two and half years have been for both Gary and I, my trust in myself and the Divine has deepened immeasurably. I kept asking for a softer road, for the velvet treatment, and for lots of cushioning. But the harshness of the reality of our lives was breaking both of us. Little did I realize as I was trying with all my might to keep myself together and away from the edge of breaking... And yet, through the shattering of the old me, the new one that is now slowly emerging is really quite nice. I like her a lot. As I mentioned, I am still somewhat emaciated from the rough ride, but alive and present.

So, that was the gift, as far I can recognize at this time: aliveness and presence. And an incredibly deep appreciation for my life after having fought for it so hard. It was what I wanted the most – to come out of survival mode and truly into alignment with my spirit. Full embodiment. So, from my experience, the survival-self did need to die after all. Believe me, I don’t have the illusion that I am now “ego-free” of whatever spiritual misconceptions circle the ethers.

I was so deep in survival mode through the depth of the traumas I experienced – in this lifetime and others before it – that I was not me. I was a product of deep patriarchal conditioning, despite all my inner work and a rebellious nature that I have had ever since I can remember. The poison of our conditioning runs deep in our veins, for women and men alike. Honestly, I did not like myself because I could not recognize myself. Who I had become wasn’t me.

I had been erased by a hundred thousand little moments in which I needed to be someone other than myself in order to survive. The family roles that were put upon me replaced my authenticity with the person others needed me to be. Because these internal chances were effectively forced through threats, traumas, manipulation, back-mailing, gaslighting, and narcissistic abuse, the adaptation of that estranged self was burnt into soma and psyche.

The price for trying to maintain authenticity was unattainable in the face of the dire need to survive my upbringing. What had broken one generation within the family lineage was passed directly onto the next. Innocence was sacrificed on the altar of shame. The people-pleasing, obedient self that didn’t belong to me became my home over time. The need to be authentic and free was buried beneath the good daughter, the good soldier, ever-giving friend, and wife… I was seeking freedom in the outer world, while my essence had vanished from my life. I didn’t like who I had become because I didn’t recognize myself in who I apparently was. The box I was given to live within did not contain myself anymore.

Do you understand now, why we need to break one more time under the loving guidance of our higher self – to literally break free from the self, the identity, the cemented need for safety for which we would still trade our very lives? There is no bridge. The whole marketplace that is trying to sell us how we get from here to there is nothing but a big fat lie. There is no bridge. You don’t jump either. Who in their right mind, with a heart still filled with fright from a lifetime of traumatic experiences would jump off a cliff?

But the storms that come out of nowhere, whip you around and tear your carefully guarded life apart; now they... have the power to drop you at the shores of the inner freedom that your heart has always yearned for. We never go willingly into the eye of a hurricane. Who would do such a thing? We want to sit safely wrapped in a blanket, with a cup of tea in our hands, reading spiritual inspiration in Instagram, not drop into the pits of darkness and turmoil, and get ourselves tousled at all conceivable levels.

Rebirth is an utterly messy thing, where nothing stays the same and nothing is stable anymore, except the loving hands of the Divine that guides and holds us through the storms. And this, I wish for all of us: that we can find such deep level of trust in ourselves and in the Divine that no matter what happens in our lives, this trust can become our rock, our true north, and our deeply comforting sense of safety.
