Obstacles in the Path...and a Dream

PictureArt by Ina RH
Dreams can reveal a lot.  Dreaming is not only when the processing of the days and weeks events occurs but also when inner guidance speaks through images, symbolism and scenarios that offer direction.  Dream interpretation is best done by the dreamer as their guidance gives the perfect visual and emotional picture to instill the message.  Certainly, there are beneficial archetypes that are invoked and yet each dream is also a distillation of an individual’s experience.....

Burned Out: Rising Up Out of Anxiety and Stress

Phoenix Rising from Ashes
Have you been checking the news?  Often?  Every day?  Is it comforting or ramping up your anxiety?  In an attempt to grab and keep your attention the headlines sensationalize the latest traumatic event in order to provoke a heightened emotional response.  Your brain is geared to being alert to threats to your safety.  Even hearing and imagining worrisome, shocking or disturbing events causes stress hormones to stream into your body.  When you watch repeated startling images it can invoke a posttraumatic stress response.  Your body does not know the difference between an event you are watching or imagining happening and actually experiencing it.....

Waking Up from a Long Slumber in the Midst of an Existential Crisis

​The shut down of the world came as a surprise.  Did you even imagine that it would be possible for nearly 7 billion people to stop their ‘normal’ activities and go into seclusion?  In my part of the world the retreat began in March.  I was suddenly thrust into an alternate reality.  But it took time for me to comprehend the change....

My Heart Hurts: We Are One Family

5/31/2020

PictureArt by Gaelle Marcel
Yesterday, my body collapsed and I was shrouded in despair and feelings of hopelessness over how we hurt one another.  The weight in my heart gripped me in a state of grief and emptiness.  Hopelessness and despair is a feeling that so many people live with every day.  When you are constantly being denied, denigrated, blamed, shamed and worse in fear for your life, you can’t help but feel hopeless while the fire of an inner flame burns for equality.  How demoralizing and bereft it is to not be free in a country that expounds freedom.  I can only imagine the daily anguish felt from living this way.  It is apparent that the acute pain caused by vile racism has plagued our nation since its inception causing the division and hatred we are experiencing today.  We can no longer ignore the inequality and subjugation of any human.  The separation we have caused is tearing us apart....

What we are experiencing on the planet is unprecedented.  Never before have we had the magnitude of global interconnection and communication during a crisis that affects every human being, as we are experiencing in this moment.
​
Much of humanity is focused on the media, the daily changes in life and the effect it is having on distant parts of the globe as the Covid-19 virus circulates around the world.  Where is your focus and attention going?  You don’t need to listen to the news to know something remarkably uncommon is occurring....

Give Me a Break: Change and Transformation is Rocking My World

It has been quite a ride and sometimes as I look back on 2019, I feel like my life was swept up inside a whirligig with the continuous momentum pulling me from one relational experience to the next.  It has been a year of connecting with friends, loved ones and new people, which has been richly rewarding.  There are so many dear people that I did not connect with yet have been so present in my heart.  I remind myself that there is time for everything and how valuable it is to pause and reflect on what this year has brought...

The Glory of Lion's Tooth: In Praise of Diversity

Dandelion, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” and you with your bright golden shaggy Lion’s mane and your “dent de lion” serrated leaves will always remind me of playing in meadows and making dandelion chains.  The French Norman word for tooth of the lion or lion’s tooth describes the tooth-like notched leaves of the dand-de- lion....

Returning Love and Harmony to Your Relationships: Part 1 Energizing the Love Bond

4/30/2018

Love Bond
Typically, when couples enter counseling, they have built up a pressure cooker of issues that have created an atmosphere of resentment and distrust resulting in blame, misunderstanding, and unhappiness. Energetically, their wounded heart is stuck in a cesspool of hurt, anger and despair.  It is difficult to see a way out yet usually at least one of them has a hope that things can improve...

Frugality, Self Reliance, Generosity and the Cost of Not Receiving

3/19/2018

ReceivingPhoto by Evan Kirby
As a child of depression era parents, I was taught to be frugal.  Growing up in a small farmhouse in the country, there wasn’t a need for many material possessions.  Anything that one owned was valuable.  Clothes were practical and seasonally appropriate.  Taking care of them was necessary.  If they became worn or torn, we mended them.  I learned how to sew, knit and crochet from my mother and grandmother.  To this day, I hand wash my sweaters and mend the moth holes.  Repairing anything over throwing it out and buying new is a first response.  If it can be fixed, do so....

Attuning to the Energy of Yang Earth Dog in 2018

The Fire Rooster’s wake up call in 2017 was a doozy.  The disturbing crowing of the rooster echoed the disturbance and chaos in the world.  Normally quiet people living their lives without concern or care about the outside world were shaken so much that they came out of their cocoons to voice their opinions and speak up for their values.  It was a Yin year for catalyzing the feminine in all of us to feel the fiery heat of our truth and to be aware of our internal beliefs and values....

Is the turmoil and chaos around the world impinging upon your life?  Is your level of anxiety increasing?  Do you desire relief from uncertainty and stress?  The world is rapidly changing and it may seem overwhelming to constantly experience so much change.  You may want life to be simpler, easier, and less complicated.  You may have a strong desire for peace and serenity, for all of the turbulence, disorder and conflict to stop.  You want to enter into the “good times” where life is pleasurable and you look forward to each day without worrying about anything.  You want space to breathe and relax.  ​You want the “noise” to stop...

As the year winds down, you may still be feeling the intensity of the tumultuous changes that have been taking place in your life and in the world.  The Chaos discussed in October’s blog continues.  For many it has been a stormy and uncertain time not knowing what it means for the future of the children and upcoming generations, the economy, the environment and the human species.  On a more personal level, you may be anxious about your own future.  There is a heightened sense of concern about matters that were once taken for granted or ignored.  Major upheaval in the world is challenging to your sense of safety and security....

Much Ado about Fear:  Regaining an Inner Sense of Safety (part 1)

8/13/2016

Child Touching Bear
Fear gets a bad rap.  When it strikes, it zaps you with an instantaneous jolt of alarm so powerful that nothing else registers but the feeling of sheer panic.  Your body screams, “I could die, I could be harmed, I am in danger.”  All of your senses and bodily functions are corralled into doing just one thing….to get you away from whatever is the source of danger.  With lightning speed Fear propels you towards Safety.  It is the body’s most protective emotion.....

A Feast of Transformation

My backyard could entertain a series on Animal Planet.  The snow that fell a few days ago is crisscrossed with the footprints of coyotes, rabbits, foxes, raccoon, deer, a couple of hawks, dogs, cats, a human or two and assorted other smaller creatures.  The major draw for the scavengers is a large raccoon carcass deposited on the snow by a coyote.  Apparently, it is too heavy to take back to the den.  I think about removing it, but watching the procession of wildlife taking a share of the feast is provocative......

Balance….Peace
…I have been reflecting on both of these words with the Equinox on the 23rd and not coincidentally the International day of Peace just days prior on the 21st.  Early this morning the balance point between the hours of sunlight shining on the earth and the hours of darkness heralding the change to spring in the southern hemisphere and autumn in the northern hemisphere occurred
