Happy Fall!
We are in the last months of the Year of the Snake. One of the gifts Snake brings us is the reminder to Tread Gently, Move Softly. The energy of the Snake Year supports our awareness and ability to be gentle with Mother Earth and all Creation- including each other. What a gift in these times, in all times!
Much Love, Light and Gentleness to You and All Creation
Welcome Spring, the season of increasing Light!
I find with clients, our work is energetically lighter yet going into deeper place for healing. Light touch to help us remember our true vibrant nature. Gentle unwinding, reconnecting to universal energy, qi, Biofield, the Field, divine energy, interconnectedness of all=by any name just as sweet. More on this at another time. For now, a poem sent from Nick Polizzi that he cites as :
A Native Hawaiian Prayer For Higher Consciousness
“Take all that I say,
And toss away
Without a thought
All that does not
Strike within you
A recognition.
For you do not learn
Wisdom and love
You only encounter
Catalysts to remember it.
For it is all
Within yourself.“
Fall is here. In Chinese Medicine, Fall is the season of lungs and large intestine. What are you breathing in now? What inspires you? What are you letting go of , exhaling, releasing?
Zach Bush provides much needed inspiration at this time. Breathe deeply, Open your heart, Remember Truth
Zach Bush:
If we are to survive as a species, we cannot continue our nature-versus-mankind mindset.
It’s time to re-examine everything from the content of our screens to the content of our dinner tables. And more than re-examine; it is time to recreate a much-needed new vision for humanity. It is time to shift how we live, how we work, and how we interact with every element on earth. We are not separate from nature; we are an integral part of it. Our survival is just as dependent on the soil, air, and water as it is on our hearts, lungs, and brains. Our existence is rooted in the Earth, just as any tree or flower.
Remember and HONOR all those that gave their LIVES for our FREEDOM!!!
What does that mean to you? How does freedom effect your health? Are you FREE to choose what keeps you healthy? What heals your body, your mind, your spirit? What are you FREE to Choose thanks to those that gave their lives? How do you carry on freedom for the next generations? for the planet? FREE to think, question, grow, heal…
Gratitude to all our ‘Fallen Veterans’ and their families
This morning I awoke to an inspirational text sent by my beloved Uncle: A quote by Albert Einstein ,
“Reina; your quote of the day:
‘The important thing is to not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.’
Albert Einstein
Ask and you will receive, with boundless Love, Excelsior!”
What a wonderful way to start the day! Remember, be curious! Be inquisitive! Question the ordinary belief! Question the status quo! Question- who’s reality? Wonder, wander, and wonder and wonder some more!
A picture is worth a million dirty words.
Saturday mornings, I look forward to the Treehugger Newsletter. I anticipate some beauty and some pain.
The beauty often comes from articles on what people & places are doing better, respecting nature and wildlife, cleaner transportation, gardening, sharing insights etc. The pain often comes from brutal reality of what our consumption of resources is creating/destroying.

Plastic Recycling in the US Is a Fantasy—’It Does Not Work’
| “Plastic Recycling in the US Is a Fantasy—’It Does Not Work’ Plastic Week on Treehugger soon might be bigger and scarier than Shark Week on Discovery, as we keep writing new horror stories about the stuff. I have been saying for years that recycling was a fraud, a sham, a scam perpetrated by big business on the citizens and municipalities of America. But now it turns out it is also a fantasy, and is barely happening at all. A new study claims only between 5% and 6% of plastic is actually recycled, and I think it is even lower than that.” READ MORE |
Weird, wild unnatural seeming times, call for light. Gratefully, we have light in and around us- always! A true light in my world, maybe yours too, is Zach Bush.
Just a brief excerpt from the blog of Zach Bush:
| …” Now is our moment to take all of this energy, trauma, polarization, and pain within the human experience and channel it in one direction toward our path of healing and co-creative nature. Like the masters of martial arts, we must all understand that there are no opponents in life. If someone appears to be coming at us to take us down, our mastery comes when we realize the redirection of their energy with our flow state can create instant reversal of the opposition into a transformational victory. We can either use opposing force to strike someone, or redirect the energy of conflict into a single motion that brings an end to the conflict… Reconciliation through reverence of one another sends us on to better understand the nature of energy and the power of unification. Now is the time to move forward through our pain and trauma — toward a reunification of self-identity, toward a unification of humanity, and toward a reentry into relationship with our NATURE…” |

All emotion has its place, has its purpose. Problems arise when we hold onto emotion, letting emotion run our consciousness, life. Instead, what is this emotion trying to teach? What is out of balance?
Grateful, Grateful Grateful for Thich Nhat Hanh:
More light, more space between thoughts, actions, beliefs.
Be well
