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.....

​Sometimes it is best to move on.  Do you need a kick in the pants to disengage from people or situations that do not support you?  Rejoice because the support is here for you now.  The rising social consciousness in humanity mixed with the current cosmological aspects of Venus in motherly Cancer opposing Saturn the taskmaster in Capricorn has created a time period ripe for movement.  It is a movement towards freedom from emotional constraints and patterns of lack that oppress your spirit....

Relationship Refresh: Renewal After Separation

6/28/2019

Butterfly RebirthRebirth by Erica Johnson
A sweeping wave moves through people’s lives dissolving the past and transforming their relationships with one another.  This may take the form of separation or ending.  It is an awakening but in the moment it can seem like total collapse or disconnection.  You may be experiencing this in your life or have observed it in the lives of your friends.  It feels much like a crushing tsunami that exposes the disturbing underbelly of unmet expectations, unfulfilled dreams, incompatibilities, betrayals, dishonesty, gossip, rejection, offenses, and rigid, dishonorable, selfish, competitive, controlling or combative behaviors.  Any one of these will upend a sense of integrity that dismantles what formerly had been stable...

Coming to Center: What to Do When You Are Triggered

It’s tough when you are triggered.  It happens jet fast.  All of a sudden a prickly energy runs up your spine and you feel the energy rush to your head.  You are ready to fight and hotly defend yourself or your anger turns icy and you freeze out whomever or whatever is disturbing you.  Either way you disconnect.  It keeps you relatively safe, but it doesn’t feel good...

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....

What is the Truth About Your Emotions?

You have been told stories about your emotions that are not true.  I do not wish to call them lies because for the most part these “untruths” were unintentional.  These falsehoods have led to more suffering and pain.  They have kept you from connecting to yourself, your inner guidance and your heart...

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...

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

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.....

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...

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...

2-Steps to Stop the Runaway Train of Anxiety and Stress

Stressed and can't stop feeling anxious?  You just want relief.  Anxiety and stress are the most common ailments I see in clients.  We all get stressed; anxiety is a normal part of life until it isn’t.  Normal anxiety is helpful when facing an intense situation.  It gets you moving, it increases blood flow to your brain, helps you concentrate and focus your attention.  When it interferes with your life, it becomes a problem.  We have all experienced life situations that induce prolonged anxiety.  Relationship problems, financial or health issues, worrying about the future and traumas are some of the culprits.  Yet, before tackling the underlying cause of our anxiety and stress what we need in the moment is relief.  
Thankfully, relief is possible...

The Journey of Loving Yourself

You already have the ability to enjoy emotional freedom.  You are capable of being centered, of experiencing pleasurable feelings, of opening your energy centers and living with an open heart.  The knowledge of the incredible power of your emotions and how your emotions connect you to source is available.  True understanding of our emotions and emotional skills were not taught in school nor were they taught in most families.  We have been living with a simplistic and often negative view of the emotions.   This lack of understanding of the true nature of the emotions has caused us to contract, live in fear, have stress, negativity, depression, conflict, difficult relationships etc. and to be stuck in the survival mode of the first three lower chakras.  We have lived long enough in this dense consciousness and have reached a point where many are
