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. …
“In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy. The moving of electrons allows living things to stay alive and healthy for as long as possible. The names may have changed- Prana, Orenda, Chi, Ruah, Pnuema- but the principle has remained the same.” Szent-Gyorgyi There are thousands of way to practice the moving of energy. This is something you can do anywhere even if it is just to breathe. I once heard a Witch say; when something bad is happening and you are about to spiral out, just take one moment to breath and to feel your body. The events ahead are inventible, so you might as well ground before proceeding. The moving of energy is not going to solve all health problems alone but they will certainly assist the quest towards balance. I find consistently that acupuncture works better and faster with…
Three ways to become immortal: 1 – Offspring. 2- Create Something. 3- Spiritual Development.
A year into the acknowledged COVID pandemic in the USA. And I am going batty… It not even all of the bigger in your face things, like the five times we have had to quarantine in a year but all of the small things. I haven’t been able to relax at a friend’s kitchen table with a cup of tea in soooo long. Sleepovers are a thing of the past. I miss letting down with a friend or heck friends (plural), just being allowed to have some fun. In the last twelve months, there was always a monster lurking over head and in the corners. I am constantly thinking through every decision, “is it safe?”, “am I being responsible?” I am throughly exhausted and simultaneously over stimulated. There are plenty of silver linings. The pace has been slowed down, I do not have to drive my kids around as much,…
Water Wood Fire Earth Metal These five archetypical agents influence our perceptions of the world. They help us see pathways and direct us to rediscover our core natures, our pre-ordained destiny. Collectively, the elements teach us agency and design. They have accompanied human evolution for thousands of years. Five colossal energies that assist, in the re-patterning of our neuropathways and the healing of trauma. Nature is the ultimate teacher. The five elements are systems, voices, images, sounds, and olfactory sensations. Together they offer us a salient way to use our inner laboratories of consciousness and effect change, promote resilience and embodiment . The five elements, natural forces that make up a powerful energy. They live within us and surround us, constructing a web of life. We can simplify the extraordinary, invite the elements to help us sort the clutter, and get to the root. It does not matter if the…
