law firm—maybe there was one person in the law firm that needed help in a way that I would have never known. Who knows? I’m not attached to knowing—I just trust. The ego wants to know; the ego wants answers. The ego loves to be in therapy for 20 years. It loves to analyze itself and go in circles. But the guides I work with are very clear. They do not waste any time; they go straight to the source of the matter and they deal with it. Do I handle all of life like this? No, definitely not. There are certainly things in my unconscious thought system that get triggered and as soon as they do, I stop everything and ask myself what part of me needs attention right now to clear this. VM: What is something that you do every day to help you in your life and in your work? DG: I live on the island of Maui, so I go to the ocean or for hikes in the mountains. Getting out in nature is great for me, as well as connecting with friends and family. I probably spend about three hours a day in my own healing work connecting to spirit. I always make time in the day for it. VM: With more than two decades consulting with people, what has been the most surprising element of your work? DG: The courage of people. Before a session I’m always thinking, This person might hang up in the first five minutes and I would refund their money 100 percent, but no one has ever done that. I’m constantly shocked when people are ready to face the information that comes through and when they have the courage
m i n d s t a t e s to shift out of their egos and more into their spirits. It’s so beautiful. Every session is like a flower blooming. VM: How do you think that the moon affects each one of us? DG: I believe that the moon can represent clear focus. It also can represent a lot of ego. People can use the shifts of energy of the moon and the planets to make excuses for not showing up and taking responsibility for their own inner processes. There’s some part of the moon planted in the mind of the ego, and people respond to it as, It’s a full moon; of course I’m acting this way, instead of asking, regardless of the moon phase, Is how I’m acting today in line with my higher self? So everything—the moon, the stars, the ocean—I think it’s all a reminder to reflect back on ourselves and ask, Am I in line with my higher self in this moment? Is my perception coming from my right mind? VM: Is there anything new on the horizon for you in the next year? DG: I might put out a few more ads with the wrong phone number and see what happens after that. [She laughs.] Seriously, I feel that there’s probably going to be more group work; that’s what the guidance is starting to slowly open me up to. I’ve always done individual work but after doing it for so many years, I can see that others witnessing sessions can be really healing. I’m seeing a much larger group experience where viewers’ own issues will be cleared as a result of watching continued on page 42
