I just do not have it in me to write another Fire post. I used to spend days organizing my elemental posts, doing research and all. Now as the season hits us I feel totally averse to creating a post. I guess that can be construed as Fire as well, because it is passion. I passionately do not want to write something about love and connection. I would like to talk about transmutation. Right now in this minute in time, I see the change a coming- laid out in front of us, it is happening. It will be powerful, the people are lining up and they are ready to fly. Photo credit: K.Nagy
“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 I quoted this in my high school yearbook, albeit erroneously. It is rather a dark quote but I do think the brave are taking a bigger risk than the cowards. The climate is such that the brave voices are needed more than ever before, so I encourage you to speak up. I can only make the assumption that Ernest Hemingway felt himself to…
“i didn’t realize in going to jipala that she’d do more than address my physical ailments, including realigning me with my soul’s purpose. she supported me through physical and emotional challenges including miscarriage, anxiety, neck and back pain, and autoimmune conditions. then i had a profound spiritual experience on her table during which i felt surrounded by angels with whom i affirmed my relationship and my work as a healer. i love talking to jipala, feel safe in her presence, and always leave feeling re-centered within.” P.X
“I’ve been going to Jipala for almost 2 years now. She is always fully engaged and listens. I always leave her office feeling clear headed and more connected to my body. Just recently my lower back was all knotted up out of nowhere and I couldn’t standup straight with out being in a lot of pain. Jipala squeezed me into her schedule for an extra session and I left pain free and standing tall. Within the next few days doing the stretches she told me to do I was back to myself. Amazing!” M.G
IT is the mixed upside down season of March. IT is snowing, nope it is nice and sunny. IT is windy and blustery, it is muddy and brown, many hues of grey. Welcome to March Madness. The stirrings of seedlings, as they breathe. Life rustling, hope is on the horizon. Do you feel enlivened? Ready to deep clean the house and start some projects? OR are you the hibernating wood type, reluctant to leave the cozy cave of security? For you the Spring movement doesn’t feel as welcome. Either way a good time for a treatment. A Spring Tune Up.
Last week was a week of interruption. I had little glimpses of the veil moving thousands of times but last week, it parted for a couple days. What a strange and relieving experience. A friend of mine told me something about myself and it just blew the whole thing open for me. I have been resistant to learning new systems of human categorization for sometime, but Human Design, WTF, game changer. And as one of the Human Design You tubers just told me, all tools are here to enhance the Human experience. True. Enhance the human experience, Why? Well If you have thought about this at all, you know the answer to this question. Because we are here to evolve, the act of being a human is an experiment in growth consciousness. The next step to focus on is our addictions. Addictions to not being ourselves. The addiction to…
“Our generation must walk the spiritual path that is available to us only in this time, with its own unique combination of wisdom and creation”. Adrienne Maree Brown
Based on Stephen Karpman’s work 1972 The diagram of the drama triangle is a pictogram that represents the history of a post war industrial society, the focus at the time was on progress. These technological, medical, agricultural, social advancements came at a great cost to human rights and decent environmental practices. This was acceptable at the time because the quality of living for the Westerner, was greatly enhanced. Currently, however, there is more at stake and these old patterns need to be re-examined. The drama triangle is the story of codependency, narcissism and addiction, roles that are forced onto us from the over culture because we are not able to grasp the arc of human dynamics and interpersonal relationship. There is no space, not a lot of room to evolve and to shed old patterns. We are burdened by generations of un-healed trauma in our family lines. There are but…
“Postural tone is the foundation of our resting state and our readiness to engage in life.” Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen 2022 Just beginning an online course with Bonnie on muscles, and very much looking forward to learning a thing or two about embodied movement and muscular diversity. As I descend again into another round of trauma recovery work, I find myself revisiting old patterns and constructs. I am looking at the same internal space with eyes, a little less clouded. I am making more connections and having the courage to rearrange the floor plan, crack open some doors, possibly open a window or two. In relationship to my terrible posture, I am discovering that the art of correcting it, lies in not one or two linear movements, but possibly twenty or so, connected subtle shifts, all the way from my pelvic floor to my jaw and the top of my mouth. …
