A mindful approach to your relationship with technology can rapidly lead to greater peace of mind, especially while you sleep. Try for one night to turn off all of the wireless devices in the house: cell phones, wifi, digital assistant systems, cordless phone base stations, wireless printers and baby monitors. You might be surprised how deeply you … [Read more...]
Notre Dame
With the burning of a landmark of civilization comes the chance to reinvest in faith. Perhaps a more relaxed and embracing faith, based in love rather than rules. One that we all can easily inhabit. Blessings to everyone connected to Notre Dame Cathedral. Everyone who conceived the idea and designed it. Everyone who built it for nearly … [Read more...]
Hilma af Klint
In March while I was in Portland, I did a reading for an artist who wanted to connect with an artist from the past whom I was not familiar with, Hilma af Klint. Hilma made herself known in the room even before I finished praying. Hilma's first words to her fellow artist were "I am interested in you, too." Her core message in the reading is for all … [Read more...]
Green Lights and Open Doors
Be it a family, a cause, an organization or a government, it is challenging when something we care about is in the hands of unreliable souls or those we disagree with. Lovingly, we can give our angst over to god and the angels totally ("Mother/Father God and angels, I hand over my relationship with ___ to you right now. I ask for the highest good … [Read more...]
How Healing Works
What is it about our bonds, both dear and distanced, that has such a strong impact on our health? Two weeks ago, I was having stomach trouble that was unusual for me. It persisted for a few days until I spoke with my former wife in France, who told me that our cat, Indigo, was not feeling well and described the exact same symptoms I was … [Read more...]
Angels Actively Help Us
I am Grateful for this moment. While driving to Portland in early October, my car started to slide on a rainy downhill curve. I felt the angels guide me and the car quickly back to stability (I knew exactly how to turn the steering wheel). It was frightening and affirming at the same time. I talk to and about the angels a lot, but when they do … [Read more...]

We spoke about hope for healthy relationships, which is the topic of the two workshops I will be presenting there on October 6th and 7th. Hello, I'm Patricia Koch, this week's "eyes and ears" at New Renaissance and your resource for all things … [Read more...]
Shame and Radiance
Someone tried to draw me into a drama recently. I tuned in for myself, then asked trusted intuitive friends for their guidance. All of that helped with clarity, but something still lingered, and my mind wanted to chew on it. I went to see the talented therapist I have worked with for many years, who quickly zeroed in on the core issue - shame. The … [Read more...]
Drama and Forgiveness
Drama is exhausting. The ego's job is to maintain the status quo. When something threatens to violate the norm, let's say a change is habit or an evolution, there will certainly be some resistance. This can be internal or in the form of other people. When someone close to you or peripheral attempts to pull you into a drama, a desire to stop or … [Read more...]
Intuition and Your Body
One hour into The Intuition Gym workshop, a wonderful moment happens. It happens when we ask for guidance by ourselves, too, often instantaneously. The wonderful workshop moment occurs about 20 to 30 minutes into practicing getting guidance, when it become simple. In the simplicity, a truth emerges: Intuition feels good in every part of our … [Read more...]
Fate and Free Will
The popular HBO show Westworld features robots who are designed to live a life that repeats, living the same pattern over and over with variation but no learning. The drama comes when a software change enables the robots to develop consciousness and use their free will to change their fate. Perhaps the popularity and resonance of the show is in … [Read more...]
A Post from 2037
A post from 2037: There used to be this group called the NRA. They loved guns more than human beings, so for a while a lot of people died. The big change happened when Americans woke up to the fact that a foreign government was not just successful interfering with US politics and media, but was trying to destroy the country by dividing it. This … [Read more...]
Angelic Support for Empaths
Many of us are empaths who are accustomed to processing our environments and encounters by taking on those energies. This is taxing on our hearts and bodies, but mainly it leads to the challenge of not being able to distinguish what is your energy and what is not. The solution is in sequencing. Start your day with an angel and a prayer. Simply say … [Read more...]
New Year Message – Masters of Love
2016 was a year of agitation. The death of icon after icon combined with division being repeatedly broadcast at us diminished our sense of safety. That is what has happened. The angels identify this as a great time on the planet. Why? Everything is exposed. Nothing is hidden. Our work is clear: To not get caught up in hate and fear, but to focus … [Read more...]
A Story About Angels at Work
Here is a great story that illustrated how angels work by my friend Rose: Yesterday, at my friend Mark Mezadourian's Friday angel peace and clearing call, we got guidance made out of alphabet blocks. Mine said, HELPFUL TO ALL. Now that could've meant them or me or both, but it didn't feel instantly applicable (as guidance sometimes … [Read more...]
Modern Enlightenment
I have always loved learning about the sparks of inspiration and insight that lead directly to something new being created. Laurence Olivier based his Hamlet on a young man he saw in a cafe hurriedly drinking a cup of coffee. Bob Dylan wrote his first song, Song to Woody, because he had something he really wanted to sing about and the song didn’t … [Read more...]
Relaxing Resistance
The key to connecting with the Angels is relaxation. If you are trying to connect with the Angels but are not sensing any connection with them, or don't feel a sense of peace, I encourage you to focus on relaxation and breath. Relaxation leads to receptivity. If you are experiencing "nothing", then perhaps there is some resistance present. … [Read more...]
Your Spiritual Might
This is the moment for all of us to actively engage all of our spiritual knowledge and skill. Let's not wait for a calamity or a disastrous election. Let's act, not react. Let's use our free will to choose what we want. Let's use our free will to create. In doing so, we interrupt the false idea that we call fate. Nothing is set in … [Read more...]
React or Respond
How much of your day is spent reacting? How often do you find yourself bouncing around like a pinball, leaving you drained, distracted and dissatisfied? We’ve been conditioned to react to our circumstances and our stories. A primary example is politics, which is entirely reactive, often devolving into “You’re stupid!” “No, you’re stupid!”, … [Read more...]
8 Steps to Coming Out of the Spiritual Closet
What does it mean to come out of the spiritual closet? We have all seen social media selfies of someone holding a crystal with a serene smile and a caption that reads: “I’m enlightened, bitches!! #whitelight #saintgermain #iseethelight #youareallsobeautiful!” Another version is a declaration to your circle of friends and family that you have … [Read more...]
The Benefit of Bad Dates and Break-ups
In this moment, you are closer than ever to having the relationship that you want. More than ever, you know what you do want and what you don’t. When things are working well, we tend to just go with it. When a relationship ends, we analyze every detail. Things not working out can provide us with a gold mine of information. A disappointing … [Read more...]
Active Enlightenment
Revised January 22, 2013 I have always loved learning about the sparks of inspiration and insight that led directly to something new being created. Laurence Olivier based his Hamlet on a young man he saw in a cafe hurriedly drinking a cup of coffee. Bob Dylan wrote his first song, Song to Woody, because he had a subject he really wanted to sing … [Read more...]
Releasing the Rules
We learn in two ways: Suffering or Insight. Most of us are jarred onto the spiritual path through suffering. An event or a series of events makes it crystal clear to us that something needs to change. Spirituality makes the world bigger. This expansion reveals our patterns and beliefs, allowing us to see where we have attachment. We see where we … [Read more...]
Ending Violence by Visioning Peace
Written on December 18th, 2012 in response to the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting. Guidance to make a change comes to us repeatedly until we take action. When we don’t heed the guidance, The Universe brings it up again, perhaps in more noticeable ways. The magnitude of the events of last Friday have got everyone’s attention. At this precise … [Read more...]
Relaxing Resistance
Written on July 12th, 2011 in response to questions about my DailyOM online course, Angelic Infusions. A few folks have asked a similar question about feeling very little connection with the Angels. This is a common occurrence, especially for those who are new to working with them. It is easily resolved. The key to connecting with the Angels … [Read more...]
Dropping Into Your Heart
March 5th, 2013 Have you noticed instant manifestations in your life recently? The speed in which our thoughts are becoming experiences presents us with the chance to not only be mindful, but to notice what is real and what is a distraction. Old thoughts, beliefs and experiences can be placed in the distraction category. What happened in the … [Read more...]
What is Being Asked of You?
Newsletter : November 6, 2012 There is a lot being asked of everyone right now. A perspective to hold is that nature is perfect, and you are part of nature. Everything is in order, even in the wake of a storm. Even during an election cycle in which the idea of "us and them" gets repeated over and over, along with a dose of fear. In truth, all is … [Read more...]
