“Being Outraged is a sure sign that our soul is awakened.” James Hillman Wood season if anything, is a time of outrage. The energy is high for an outcry. It is time to do the work of grieving, of angering, of fearing, of anxieting and to do it in community. Your voice and other voices together, speaking out, saying that we are frightened, but we are brave. We will stand up and speak out. That is the thing that will change the course of history. This is what did not happen in Nazi Germany in the 1930’s and early 1940’s. WE have to do it now. I have been giving myself the time to grieve so that I will be ready to speak up when the moments strike. The things that I am grieving are expected but also unexpected . Random moments in time that I have forgotten about, people…
A few tidbits of news from Jipala Acupuncture PLLC. Hope everyone is working on staying sane in these turbulent times. I am offering some new services online for health consulting and energy work. I can work with people all over the country. Please recommend these services to your near and dear. I have also been studying Human Design for the last three years and wanted to integrate some of the principles into my practice. So if you are interested let me know and we can run your chart. I am planning to scale down my office presence in the coming year. I am not taking new clients unless they are a family member or very special friend of an existing client. I have moved away from the network health insurance model and I will not work with any health insurance companies. My Substack page is growing with many thoughts that are…
I am building my Substack presence @transpersonalhealthproject. The content is not related to my acupuncture persona, this is taking health and sanity to a new level of conversation in these dark times. And as many of you have asked,I will finally allow myself to get a little more personal. I plan to stop posting on IG, though I still check my account because I am linked into so many important voices and I want to hear them right now. Times are a changing, I have been studying the patterns for years and talking about them to anyone who wants to listen. A recent shift for me would be my commitment level has increased and my fear to express myself has decreased. My services and my perspective are needed. For so long, I was waiting for people to acknowledge this, now I realize that I just need to start operating the…

“If people bring so much courage to the world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks everyone and afterwards many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” Ernest Hemingway A Farewell to Arms
Time of change and shedding skin. Clever and patient, the snake waits for the right time to take action, striking out exactly at the right moment. This is that year, waiting for impeding transformation, the only way is through the eye of needle. Good Luck People.
“We are doomed with out YOU, Walk the Truth.” My dear friend and I took a lovely hike at Onteora Lake with the very happy dog a few weeks past. We left a painted rock as an offering to the land on an alter by a very special campsite. We spoke of all things on that hike, death, medicine, the elementals, spirits, love, children, health, partnership, community, sadness, magic, holding space and pain. When her partner returned days later to visit the alter, there was a note under the rock. “We are doomed with out you, Walk the Truth.” This week a childhood friend of mine’s wife passed on…… I was at her funeral today. I felt this weeks experiences, many Winters, were in my bones, precious and tenuous it all is. The emergencies, the heightened energies, the polar forces, the vortexes that pull us through to the other side.…
For me, this entire year has been an exercise in getting through the door. A metaphysical portal of sorts, it would be the door labled acceptance. There is a lot of me saying to myself “it is Okay, everything is Okay”. I have been practicing for a long time but was not quite able to make the leap prior to the presidential election of 2024. It took a combination of unrelenting hard events, research, steel like inner perseverance and wild abandoned risk taking to cross the threshold. I think I might change my mind and go back the way I came, this place echos in hollowed space, off quiet walls. I was introduced to Human Design about three years ago by a dear friend, this body of investigation has given me some overall confidence and encouragement . It helped me understand why I often do not feel in sync with…
he said that the reason he was meditating was that it was the most radical act he could do to examine his own mind, practice non- violence to himself and by doing that he could change the world… or something like that.
