​We are not fulfilling our promise as human beings of consciousness. 

In order for Spirit to help us remediate these situations of tragedy, catastrophe and suffering, we must be able to change our hearts and minds.

How can we do that from a vacuum? From an arrogant place of not wishing to engage with thinking that we know? It just doesn’t work that way. 

I dare you to read a good source of media and then read a few more. Look at different points of you. It’ll be hard... it’ll make you process... it’ll fill you with angst anxiety,  fear, frustration, anger, maybe all the above.

You’ll also read about the courageous people who are trying to help and change things and fight for what they believe in and those that are trying to be the diplomats.

But as long as we try looking at our world through rose colored glasses or through no glasses at all, through blindness, we are not for fulfilling our promise as human beings. 

​MEDICINE FOR A HEAVY HEART. Hi Wisdom Seekers!

Sometimes it feels so heavy.  Life just piles on and we watch people we love succumb to the flows of their own suffering.  Sometimes they will point their ire or fear at us, and it can fill us with helplessness, or cause us to fight back in many different ways.  Sometimes it just gets us.  And sometimes we might be the ones throwing our heavy hearts at others.  

How do we find a measure of release in the midst of all this so we can speak truth with kindness, assertiveness and hold a container of love and knowing. How do we them, or our own selves, know that there is still a choice, even a sliver of choice, to come out of this darkness.    

When I have a heavy heart, I come to my ancient oak tree that lives in a glen along a trail, shaded and protected by a giant rock wall. She is my medicine, her survival over hundreds of years, how she has created such sacred space in her beingness. This is a place for standing strong and gentle in the shadowland. She inspires me; I hope to inspire you.  It’s okay to have a heavy heart.  

Anxiety involves feelings of worry, fear, and apprehension that have cognitive, emotional, and physical effects. It can lead to negative thoughts and cause people to feel out of control. It can also lead to somatic sensations, such as sweating, trembling, or shortness of breath.

These symptoms are common for people who have been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. However, they can also affect anyone to varying degrees at different times. Fortunately, there are effective strategies that you can utilize to help cope with anxiety in both the short and long term.

Join me today as we discuss some of the strategies that may be helpful for coping with anxiety including breathing exercises and mind-body connecting.

​What an honor to land with you at this moment in time, in this brand new year. Drop in for a moment and you’ll feel the gates, the portals opening, offering us entry into a new paradigm, a new “way.”  

 
If the past years have been an era when all kinds of repressed anger and frustration and fear have surfaced, this new era is a time of reckoning. On every level – individually and as part of the collective consciousness – we are asked now to take the lessons and release the war. This is a time when our actions come under the intense light of spiritual truth, and our hearts are meant to open to embrace the new at every level.  

 
Join me today for this first Wisdom Wednesday of 2021, and enter this new place ready for a complete reevaluation and realignment of thinking and being.  

​Fear is seeping through almost every aspect of life right now. You may not feel it so much or acknowledge it.  Or you may be hyper-aware of its prevalence as you try to move out of the frozen states that we have all had to climb into over the past couple of years. You don’t have to feel afraid to be afraid, to unconsciously make decisions that limit your full experience of life. 

Fear, the greatest teacher of all, invites us to engage with it, to feel and acknowledge its brittle structure, its “no you can’t,” or “just stay safe” messaging. We are all, without exception, breathing the smoky air of fear right now. Just look around you, beautiful souls afraid to get back into life, or others pretending nothing’s wrong. We can try to deny it or get into a fight with it. We can get angry or frustrated or sink back into our hiding places. 

But until we open our arms to embrace fear as an ally we will remain in fear of fear; we will stay in the frozen wasteland of our own stuckness.

Please join me today to explore the healing power of facing into fear..  

Sometimes, as they say, we make plans and the Gods laugh. We wonder, “why are they laughing?” We get frustrated, seeing so many possible roads before us and not having a clue which is the “right” one. 

There’s nothing funny about needing to find a direction in life, to figure out what we really want and need, what makes sense in our particular universe. Mostly, we will employ our egos to figure out what feels good or seems right. Other times, we will try to copy a path walked by others who we think are successful.

If the Gods are laughing, it’s at the folly of our thinking that we actually have so much control over our destinies.  We do – to an extent. But so often we try to decide what we want to do, instead of finding what it is that is actually calling out to us. When we discover that inner voice, we begin to have a feeling of something greater than ourselves sending us signals. 

They may not be clear, may not make sense, and it may not lead to a lifelong profession. But if we follow that voice, and do the work of it, that trail will always lead us somewhere usually unexpected and in alignment with the true needs of our soul’s journey.
