In my studies over the years, I’ve been so lucky to work with different people, different traditions, indigenous histories and spiritual points of view. I’m preparing now fo a trip to Peru to study with the Q’ero people. I’ve been reading about them, their history and ritual ceremonies.
New year, new energy, new attitude?
Welcome to a new year.
2020 got our attention… our fear, our energy. Our focus was on the pandemic, the unknown and change. The energy we used to put into health, wellness and self-care seemed to vanish. Worry and fear are such powerful emotions and we’re not comfortable with them AT ALL. So that discomfort sucked up the energy and focus we might have put into our wellness.

Each day a new adventure
Meditation and mindfulness helped me wander thru last year as open and calm as I could be. These calming skills are founded in ancient practices but are perfectly suited to this changing world we live in. Continue reading “Each day a new adventure”
And the answer is…
I received some great insight listening to a podcast* this week. My insight is this is a great time in our lives to not know.
Not know?! What?

Love every thing
As a wellness and meditation teacher, I want to share with you what calming practice has taught me. It has shifted my perspective on most everything. I feel like I live in a very different place than I did 20, 10 and even 5 years ago. This new place lets me watch what goes on around me and “most of the time” I don’t have to get pulled into the fray. There’s a peace where I live, a sort of knowing that everything is going to be all right. I wish I could share it with you. I suppose this long, long blog is an effort to try to do that… or perhaps to begin a process of letting you know that there is a really different world available, one where you don’t have to stay glued to the media to survive, one where you don’t have to be filled with fear about your future.

How are you?
Hi!
How are you? I don’t offer any details here about disease, rules, stats or forecasts. What I am here for is to say, “How are you?”
Social distancing for health was a shock to me. Now, you might not know me so let me tell you a bit. I’m the introvert’s introvert. I can function socially and must to teach and lead but given a choice, I almost always choose, ✔️ Hide at home.

02/02/2020 means… ?
The year of the woo woo? I’ve mentioned to a few friends that this is my year to not avoid sharing, experiencing or teaching a practice because it seems too “out there” for the land I find myself dwelling in. So, this is one of those opportunities.
New moon- new beginnings
The full moon gets all the attention. She’s bright and beautiful and brings a special sort of energy to many of us. Recently, however, my attention has been drawn to the quieter, more mysterious version of the moon, the new moon. The new moon brings us “new beginnings power.” I use her arrival as my reminder to meditate on my intentions, goals, problems and progress. Continue reading “New moon- new beginnings”
Sound healing- real, comforting and available
You might have noticed me doing a lot of sound events lately. I’ve studied and practiced sound healing for many years so it all makes sense to me. But if the idea that sound can be healing is news to you, I wanted to take a bit of time and offer some info that might help you comprehend how sound can be beneficial to you- body, mind and spirit.

Make space and “it” will come
Where do you go for peace or solace? One of my common answers would be to go outdoors. However, I need to have a place in the house that is my place of calm and comfort. Call it an altar perhaps, but this is my place of Ahhhhhhhh.
