The air is changing and the colors are gorgeous! I just love the yellow backdrop in the ravine behind my house. I’ve taken notice of the little squirrel’s behavior as they prepare for winter; and of the birds as they begin to migrate and some of course prepare to stay. Daily miracles occurring right in front of me! Noticing helps me stay connected and continues to keep me in awe of nature. Soon, a good deal of Canada will be…
2016 is a Nine Universal Year and a lot is being asked of us. We are constantly being nudged to respond to life with compassion and tolerance while people and events push up against us. The Universe brings into our lives the very things we need to place our attention on and compassion is certainly one of them. As human beings we have a great capacity for compassion but the lack of ‘feeling connected’ has created the illusion that we are…
Got your attention? Great! The bypass I am referring to is not a literal one, but rather, the heart versus the head one. So often people bypass what their heart wants and make a decision based on the ubiquitous conditioning that’s followed us since birth. We reason that our decisions are ‘appropriate’, ‘best for everyone’, ‘easily accepted’, and ‘within the norms of expectation’. I could go on, but you get the picture. Do you recognize yourself in this? If so, you likely remember…
So! We come in all differing shapes and sizes. We have unique physical attributes some of which confer with our abilities as well as our challenges that are set before us. Our bodies are literally the vessel we are given in order to live out this lifetime. It is our responsibility to love it and care for it so that we avail ourselves to the opportunities waiting for us. It’s a challenge to remain grounded in how you look in your body when…
The Drama of life is acted out in a Nine Universal Year. The energies of the Universal Planetary System tell the story of us and the energy of our universe. Both are Universal Truths. Within those truths is our human condition, our personal environments and of course what we do with it all – our Free Will… We have seen a tremendous amount of horrific pain and chaos, with hurtful intent and anger in recent times. People’s defenses are high, patience is low…
Let’s talk about the momentum of thought and how we can adjust the way we look at a condition called ‘being stuck’. Let’s say you have something you want to do, or have, or be. You put a lot of mental energy into the idea of it. You dream of it, you desire it, and you want it…. But into your mind seeps contradictory thoughts… a plethora of excuses as to why you can’t have it, you can’t do it, or it won’t work…
Whether in my appointments with people or in my daily life I’m hearing people gasp at the mention of meditation. Their facial expression alone says it all. Though meditation has become mainstream people feel the pressure to get it right. However in the quest of quieting our minds we create the opposite effect. We live in a world of noise and chaos where we seemingly operate at that level for most of our day. How many people get home from…
Spring has sprung! Of course in some places more than others in this western hemisphere, butnone the less we all feel the itch to get outside, to get active and get in touch with nature. Nature’s transformation is nothing less than inspiring as we watch it do its job. Commercials, social media, and the idea driven ‘How To’ shows further nudge the anticipation and excitement readying us to spring into action. They are designed to move us forward into our…
On a cool early March morning where it’s still technically winter where I live, I looked out the window and noticed a flock of forty plus Cedar Waxwing birds in the trees of the ravine behind me. These berry loving birds are usually in our area from late March through late fall. I noted to myself that this early in the year there are no berries available for these beauties. I’m quite certain these little smarties sourced out the bird…
Sounds simple right? So why does ‘being open’ tend to slip past us? Events and incidents are often noticed in retrospect leave us feeling defeated and missing the opportunity to shift to that space of ‘open heartedness’. Generally speaking, we live our lives being told ‘how to be’, and ‘who to follow’ thereby becoming conditioned to live within the norms of societal expectations. This is a misalignment with our natural selves manifested from years of conditioning. Thankfully we can unlearn this by paying attention to a…
