         WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Cock-a-doodle-do Cock-a-doodle-dooo!!!!
WAKE UP! WAKE UP!  It’s not going to stop…there is a relentless alarm to
                                                               WAKE UP! ​
Everywhere you look, people are in a heightened alert state.  Everywhere you look, things are heating up and the steam is rising.  There is fire in the core of our Being to wake up to our humanity, to wake up to the unity of all.  Unity is a fact.  Are you experiencing it?  Only through experiencing it do you really know it. 
 
You might be annoyed by the extremes of this fire and of the blatant way the Rooster crows…louder…and louder...and louder.  It won’t let you fall asleep.  It won’t let you be complacent.  You are waking up to life and to existence. 
 
What is your desire?  Is it to have more material possessions, to have positions, titles, or achievements?  Do you hold resentment, judge, want to control, or gain something from others?  These desires are driven by psychological drives.  Is it the desire to exist…the desire to be…the impulse to be compassionate?  All of these experiences are a part of existence.
 
What is left after all of these drives and experiences?  It is simply Love.  There is a kind of love that is redeeming. 

Restorative Love is “to restore things to their natural condition of Wholeness”
~ Adyashanti
​It is this kind of Love that is an impulse to realize our Oneness with all of life.  There is a deep connecting field of energy called Love that is continually working within each and every one of us to be conscious of our unity. 
 
This Fiery Rooster energy is showing us all of the ways we have separated from each other and ourselves and to notice the ways we can come into greater unity by connecting.  What works and what doesn't?  Let this fiery energy work for you.  It offers a big push to boldly look at your shadow aspects, reflect upon your values, communicate your truth, set appropriate and healthy boundaries, and become more compassionate and caring.  
 
This year is one of being aware of Relationship in All ways and forms.  What is your relationship with pleasure?  What is your relationship to people that have different views than yours?  What is your relationship to your family and friends?  Are you cultivating compassion?  Are you consciously connecting with greater understanding?  Are you willing to deeply look at the parts of you that separate and where you connect?  It is simply to be Aware.  Whatever you find, it is all right.  Give yourself permission to feel what you feel.  It does not make you wrong or bad to have desire, to have separated from yourself or to separate from others.  Observe where you are.  Awareness itself brings an awakening of consciousness.

Developing an Internal Sense of Safety:  Much Ado about Fear (part 2)

9/16/2016

​“Anxious, stressed, scattered, I can’t concentrate and can’t sleep through the night.  I am not in physical danger, but I just never feel safe.”  The aftermath of fearful situations or the uncertainty that the world is not a safe place can leave you shaky, unsure and on edge.  You have lost a grounded sense of security.  How do you develop an internal feeling of safety?  You may wonder if or even believe that a haven of serenity exists inside of you, but when fear arises you may wonder how to get past the fear...

What Happens to You when Your Family or Friends Disapprove

6/29/2016

Polar Bear
Conflict is difficult for me.  Life has taught me that my desire for everyone to get along and be in harmony is an almost impossible expectation.  I especially struggle when family members show disappointment and criticize my choice to do something, be with someone or be somewhere that goes against what they desire or want.  It feels as though I am being torn apart and made to decide between my life and the people I love.  No matter what choice I make someone will be hurt.  In the past, guilt would tear at my heart and eat me up.  The pain would muddle my thoughts and hold my energy hostage.  I could not be fully present to my own needs.  It created a “No-Win” situation for my family, my friends and me...

The Rites of Spring Cleaning

White PoppyWhite Poppy by Tessa Clarkson
Mid spring inside rooms stacked high with books, magazines, papers, and paraphernalia finds me sorting through eons of my life.  Clothing from the 80’s still smell of good times camping, dinner club parties, couples sans kids, skiing, dancing, singing, playing in the band, and long summer nights throwing darts as we downed tequila and spent hours reflecting on life and the state of the world....

Do you want to have friends, be liked and create a fabulous first impression?  Then, courteous and respectful behaviors are ones you will want to acquire.  Being respectful, polite and having good manners creates harmonious relationships and connections. We all enjoy people that make us feel seen and heard.  When people are interested in your opinions and interests, you feel valued and accepted.  When people pay attention to making you comfortable and safe, and respect your personal space and possessions, you feel their care.  A person who offers generous doses of kindness and consideration is likable, attractive and more successful in life....

Red Fire Monkey and Your Inner Protector

Red Fire Monkey
Opening into Compassionate Presence
Last year of 2015 was the Chinese year of the Wood Sheep (Ram) where new possibilities, hopes and dreams were gestating.  It was also a time of cleansing, releasing and facing difficult truths in order to form new patterns of connection.  As you enter the Red Fire Monkey on Feb. 8, 2016, you step into a fresh opening where new aspects of yourself are birthing and developing a healthier connection to yourself and others.
 
Monkeys are inquisitive, quick, adaptable, intelligent, inventive and versatile; monkeys always keep you on your toes. It will be an adventurous fiery year of unpredictability.  Monkeys are known to hop from one activity to another, so it is wise to observe what you really care about and what brings you and others love, joy and connection. There will be plenty of creative opportunities opening up.  The key is to walk into the year with compassion for your vulnerabilities as well as your abilities...

Conscious Relationship and the Three Dimensions of Caring

Penguin Couple
Conscious Companionship
As the consciousness of humanity evolves and changes so has the structure of marriage, partnership and relationships.  We are in a transitional stage of relationship moving away from the concept of two independent autonomous people cohabiting together and attempting to get their individual needs met in a hierarchical structure with fixed roles.  A companionship model of conscious partnership consisting of mutual interdependence, interpersonal relating, intimacy, equity and commitment to placing the relationship first while aligning with what is best for each other is arising.  The focus away from a singular insular preoccupation with self and my needs to what are the needs of the relationship is a step towards greater love, compatibility, understanding, intimacy, and surprisingly getting more of your needs met....
