Connecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 12 ~ What Ego Story Are You Holding Onto?Hello Friends :) In this week's Moment of Alignment episode, I highlight a powerful teaching from the Course's Manual for Teachers section about healing! What is shared in this teaching shows us how we are preventing the healing of our minds from occurring and nudges us to pay attention to what we are investing in. I'm so excited to share this episode with you as it is something which has helped me greatly on my own healing path. 2025-06-2603 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 11 ~ Releasing Ego StrainHello Friends, In this week's Moment of Alignment, I highlight a common yet subtle way the ego shows up in your daily experience. My aim with this episode, is to help you increase your self-awareness as to when you are ego mode. Once you recognize you're doing things with the ego, you can take practical steps to correct the trajectory of your thinking so you can begin to feel better and more spiritually aligned. I hope this episode is helpful for you! Lots of Love, Fiona XO2025-06-1205 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 10 ~ How to Know WHEN to ForgiveHello Friends, In this week's Moment of Alignment, I bring clarity to a question I often receive in my client sessions; "How do I know when to forgive?" When you know when forgiveness is necessary, it will be easier for you to strengthen your personal forgiveness practice. Remember that in A Course in Miracles we are taught that our purpose here in this world is to forgive and so it is vitally important we have clarity on this topic! I hope you enjoy this week's Moment of Alignment and that it serves you...2025-06-0303 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 9 ~ Learning to 'Just Be'Hello Friends, In this week's Moment of Alignment, I highlight a comforting teaching from A Course in Miracles which helps us to relax and just be. In this episode, I share how the ego mind encourages us to be unnecessarily fussy about things as well as hyper-focused on this world. When we follow the ego's perception of things we can easily come to feel overwhelmed and stressed. There is no peace in this. Thankfully, there is also the more simplistic approach to this world which is to do things WITH Spirit in charge...2025-05-2803 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 8 ~ Where to Start On Your Healing JourneyHello Friends, In this week's Moment of Alignment, I answer a common question I get from client's beginning their healing journey which is "Where do I start?". Before answering this question, it is important to recognize that the ego will always seek to make things complex and attempt to cloud your awareness with meaningless distractions. Yet, Spirit simplifies the ego's nonsense and helps us steady our focus so we can focus on healing. The answer to the question of "Where do I begin on my healing journey?" is simpler than you may have thought, and...2025-05-2003 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritTime for Forgiveness ~ Forgiving ParentsHello Friends, In this 'Time for Forgiveness' meeting replay, I share all about the topic of forgiving parents. The teachings of A Course in Miracles are meant to be applied to ALL areas of our lives which includes the challenges we can experience with our parents/caregivers. In this episode, I highlight the Course's teachings around 'special love' and 'special hate' relationships and also the roles of both victim and victimzer which show up in these relationships. It is important that we all come to the point where we look WITH the Holy...2025-05-1754 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 7 ~ Relaxing Your Approach to HealingHello Friends, In this week's Moment of Alignment, I highlight a message from the late ACIM teacher, Kenneth Wapnick, in regard to how to approach our healing path. This is a message encouraging you to relax, trust and follow the way appointed to you knowing that your Higher Self is with you every step of your way. I hope this is helpful for you! Lots of Love, Fiona XO2025-05-0705 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 6 ~ Who are You Thinking With?Hello Friends :) In this week's Moment of Alignment, I am highlighting a very helpful teaching from A Course in Miracles - a teaching which can help lessen your feelings of guilt and also amplify you feeling joy more often! Although the teaching I share is simplistic, it's something we don't tend to think about. Throughout His Course, Jesus reminds us that we suffer needlessly and He is also sure to pose the question of "Why delay your happiness?". Such statements are reminders that we don't need to default to ego-mode and that we can choose...2025-04-2903 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 5 ~ The Course's Message of EasterHello Friends :) In this week's Moment of Alignment, I highlight the Course's message of Easter. We are reminded in the Course that Easter is a sign of peace and not pain. There are a couple of beautiful messages presented in this section of the Course (Chapter 20 in the text), which help remind us of why to choose for peace and how to do so. I hope you enjoy this Moment of Alignment and the empowering reminder we are given through the Course's message of Easter! Lots of Love, Fiona XO2025-04-2103 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritTime for Forgiveness ~ Forgiving GrievancesHello Friends :) In this episode, I am sharing a replay from a Time for Forgiveness meeting on grievances. This is a very important topic as it is through holding onto grievances that you hold yourself in a personal hell. In A Course in Miracles, we are taught that holding grievances is a sure way to amplify our experience of guilt, and so, if we want genuine inner peace then it is time to practice letting our grievances, whether they are old or new, go in peace. I hope you enjoy this replay and that it...2025-04-1858 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 4 - Asking for Spiritual Help When You Aren't Ready to ForgiveHello Friends! In this week's Moment of Alignment, I highlight a powerful and practical way to welcome Spiritual help even if you are not quite ready to forgive. True Forgiveness is our purpose here in this world but it is helpful to acknowledge the reality that we are not always ready to forgive. Feeling unready to forgive doesn't mean you aren't willing to seek help from Spirit though! As Course students, we learn too much about the ego that we can't fully go back to it, so we will tend to lean towards wanting a...2025-04-1503 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 3 ~ Inviting InspirationHello Friends! In this week's Moment of Alignment, I highlight how to invite inspiration according to A Course in Miracles! In our world, there can be a lot of fear around what to do when change happens especially in regard to how we bring in an income. The ego would suggest you are limited and unable to diversify when change occurs. This is a massive falsehood as you, the loving Child of Source, are limitless and the flow of inspiration and Source's care for you is eternal. Inspiration is not only about how...2025-04-1004 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 2 ~ Seeing Others CorrectlyIn this week's Moment of Alignment, the theme of accepting the True Identity is continued by focusing on seeing others correctly! The importance of acknowledging the Truth in others is vital to your inner peace and your remembrance of your Oneness in Source. You cannot know peace by holding onto thoughts of conflict about others AND you cannot remember God as long as you misidentify a Child of God as an ego. I share about this and more in this week's Moment of Alignment! I truly hope it is helpful for you and...2025-04-0105 minConnecting Mind and SpiritConnecting Mind and SpiritMoment of Alignment 1 ~ Aligning With Your True IdentityHello Friends!

Throughout the text of A Course in Miracles, Jesus is sure to highlight that we presently misperceive our loving Source and project our unconscious guilt onto God. In so doing, we have polluted our own psyche and made God an enemy. Even if you don't feel this way consciously, your unconscious fear of God is something to be healed!
