A Pain in the Neck (and shoulders)

 
So the news is full of reports of the Japanese earthquakes and tsunamis. As many of the ancients predicted big earth changes are happening with greater force and frequency than ever before. As the earth shifts, our bodies shift, as we are part of the earth and the earth is part of us…you really can’t [...]

Winter Help

Wiarton Willie, Punxsutawney Phil, Staten Island Chuck and other famous groundhogs http://www.netglimse.com/holidays/groundhog_day/celebrity_groundhogs_and_past_predictions.shtml did not see their shadows on February 2 of this year, and since it is unanimous among these celebrities spring is definitely on its way. As I look out my window at the mounds of snow the vernal equinox still seems far away. [...]

Conscious Grumbling

The long nights and gathering energies that winter brings set a perfect backdrop for getting to know the shadow aspects of ourselves. Many people find ways to distract themselves from the opportunities for growth that this time of year brings because it is simply easier to avoid the darkness than it is to dive into [...]

Balance Your Way Into the New Year

 
We have made it through a very challenging year. Pat yourself on the back for this, even if you are feeling bruised and used up. Here in Canada in these winter months, as we approach the end of the Gregorian calendar year, and in a few more weeks, the end of the Chinese Year of [...]

A Radical New Perspective

can you find your way to forgiveness by thinking about the kind of sacrifice that the abusive spirits in human bodies made to be born into a toxic and abusive human personality.

Living Well with Chaos

As each day passes we come closer to the end of the period that the ancient Q’ero people, the Inkas, have called the End of Time. The last date of the current Mayan calendar is December 21, 2012. Some fear this date, others welcome it and yet others ignore it or are completely oblivious to [...]

Why “Women Heal?”

Those if you who follow my work in the community are aware that I am offering new “Women Heal” events. I want to take some time in this column to explain how and why these events came about. A few months ago I spent a few days alone in nature listening to the wind and [...]

Youth Wisdom

It seems to me that more and more people are becoming aware of their need for big and deep healing. I don’t believe that the world is ending in 2010, but I do believe that our ability to continue living the way we have, for at least the last 500 years, is ending. We have [...]

Focusing on School Daze

Well it has been a month since most children have returned to their school life routine, and I am wondering how it is going in those classrooms. Are the children eager to learn, stimulated in a balanced way and recognized for their individual ways of learning?
There are some fabulous classrooms out there who have teachers [...]
