A Quest for Well-Being

— Energy Medicine helps rebalance the imbalances at the root of physical, emotional and mental issues, because the energy systems are foundational to our health on every level.  Physical and emotional symptoms lessen greatly and often disappear completely as we peel away layers of traumas, emotions and limiting beliefs, allowing you to   experience an increased level of wellness and vitality. Thes...

— "Applying the 'Human Awakeness' to the Soul Awareness was quite fascinating. Nothing in the house belonged to me. I had absolutely no bond with anything (I even 'forgot' I had my own family) yet I had everything I 'needed' within me. The Soul has access to zillions of realities (think strings of choice) whilst also fully present and detached — un-emotional but not 'cold' — in each 'choice'. Stat...

— We humans create beauty through love, gratitude, appreciation, wonder, poetry, dancing, stillness, music… Yet it may be that in order to be able unhesitatingly to give that "Yes!" answer, we need to step outside of our human selves. Did not the sun, the wind, and the water come joyously together to produce sparkling wavelets today, as they have for uncountable years? Are not flowers continuing t...

— Forgiveness is a radical way of living that openly contradicts the most common beliefs of this troubled world. It is radical because it involves a transformation of our thinking from thoughts of "an eye for an eye" to compassion and understanding. Forgiveness is the science of the heart, a discipline of discovering all the ways of being that will extend your love to the world and discarding all...

— Creating companionship and community with others invites a sense of belonging and a genuine feeling of being valued. These are core aspects of social-emotional development that, when cultivated, awaken the blossoming of being and becoming human.   With an awareness and understanding of our interdependent, human nature, collaborative relationships can be attained without anyone's compromising of...

— Over the long-term history of humanity, there have been four cognitive revolutions which jumpstarted our human evolution and success. About 70,000 years ago, primitive, stone-age Homo sapiens were beset by climate change and unable to compete successfully on the harsh African savanna.  They almost became extinct. Then our big-brained ancestors discovered art and ceremony, and presumably dance, m...

— Young people and adults alike are bombarded with information about COVID-19 and they need to know how to tell science-based facts from fiction. To beat this pandemic, they need to understand the ways in which the virus spreads and prevent it from proliferating. Because SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is host dependent and must attach to and live inside the cells of other organisms to...

— May the precious awakening mind Take birth where it has not been born before; Where it has been born May it increase forever without decline. May spiritual teachers appear in the world May teachings shine forth like the rays of the sun May the upholders of spiritual traditions be in kinship and harmony And may those traditions long and beneficially endure. As long as space remains, And as long a...

Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not...

— Old stories are beliefs, attitudes, and subsequent actions that are prevalent in your family line. This could be scarcity towards abundance, mistrust in relationships, lack of body love and confidence, etc. We all have these stories, and at some point, they served their purpose: they kept us safe and protected to ensure survival and family connection through decades of evolution. We stayed tied...

— She is here, Siempre. She will not be quieted and disappear, she keeps showing her face in the mirror and your friend's embrace. She breaks through cement, just as the ocean has taken over Venice.

— You already know what it means to live a fulfilling life. You may have had glimpses of this inner knowing and clarity after meditation or other activities like skiing or playing music that help us to return to ourselves. In these moments we are present, connected, creative, and open to possibilities. However, once we step back into the fast-paced world, our default habits - to rush and react - k...

— In the field of psychology, attachment theory is one of the principal theories for understanding child development. Beginning in infancy, a child begins to form an attachment with their caregiver(s). In turn, these early interactions become internalized as "internal working models" that can affect behavior as they develop into adulthood. A key concept within this theory is that of attachment sty...

— Women come for their boudoir sessions for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's a gift for a special someone, most of the time it's for a boost of self-confidence. It's an opportunity to see yourself and your body from a different perspective. As women, our body's go through so many changes, especially when we enter motherhood. It's hard to look in the mirror and not love what's looking back at y...

— Many people feel intimidated by meditation. With no idea how it feels, they may dismiss their efforts as "not getting it" or "not doing it right. Author Peggy Ludington's early struggle with this uncertainty led her to share her method, which takes out the guesswork. Her book teaches four simple exercises that demystify the process and create a clear path to the meditative state in a matter of m...

—  Mindfulness is being in a state of total awareness of the contents of our minds, which makes us more conscious of what we're thinking and feeling. And, by being in this state of complete awareness, we can remain observant of our thoughts and feelings with acceptance and non-judgment because we have a heightened awareness of what is occurring in our minds. This is when we are in a pure state of...

— "Living through a traumatic experience often alters our perspective in a way that makes us better partners, employees, leaders, family members, and ultimately, better people. If you find yourself unable to love the version of you born through trauma, offer yourself tenderness. If you aren't able to release your daily heartache, offer yourself consolation. If you'd rather forget your traumatic ex...

— Once we recognize the relative and subjective nature of the concept of health, we can begin to explore how the systems view of life can help us develop a corresponding systems view of health. Systems thinking is process thinking, and hence the systems view sees health as an ongoing process. Rather than defining health as a static state of perfect well-being, the systemic conception of health imp...

— Shamanism is a way of walking upon the planet, and a way of seeing things that our society has taught us to veil.  It is living a life divinely connected to Spirit, to our Earth, and in deep gratitude for the blessings our planet and community bring to us through our joint experiences. It is highlighted by the enactment of sacred ceremony, an art all but lost in only a few remaining cultures.  S...

— "After 240 days of steeping and integrating I was ready to start the discovery phase of my life. Discovery of my purpose, reconnecting with friends, reading and learning again, I knew my life was going to go in a new direction, but frankly I had no clue what, how, when and where. I only knew that I could trust it would find its way to me and it did. When I heard myself laughing again repetitivel...
