Weaving Life’s Tapestry
One of my teachers says that each life is like a thread weaving its contribution to the tapestry of creation. In each incarnation, we are like a multi-colored thread that comes through the backing with birth, we weave our contribution to the greater picture, and disappear back through the backing upon death. I’ve been reflecting […]
Don’t ask the subtle to hit you over the head
What follows is an edited excerpt from my recent book, Past the Past. Perhaps it will speak to folks who know me from my professional side and who are a bit disturbed by my insistence on writing of that weird spiritual stuff! “I had enough experience in the intuitive and spiritual realms to understand that […]

Body Process
Traditional psychotherapy approaches, focusing on working with and correcting mental events and conditions, have placed little importance on the fundamentally physical nature of the person. Yet many of the problems people bring to therapy are linked with or manifested in the body–such as obesity, psychosomatic distress, chronic tension, and sexual problems. This book provides a therapeutic approach that addresses both the physical and mental nature of clients.

Past the Past
James I. Kepner continues the luminous spiritual memoir begun in About Time, tracing the soul’s remembrance across centuries. In fifteenth-century France, Étienne returns home transformed by Druidic teachings and is drawn into a love that becomes his initiation. Centuries later, a mysterious painting reawakens those memories in the author’s modern life, bridging past and present through revelation and grace.
About Time
What do a modern psychologist, a Master Alchemist, a mystical Abbess, and a ragtag band of orphans in 15th-century France have in common? A wondrous story of tragedy, love, camaraderie, and spiritual unfolding!
