Let Go and Let it Be
“To let go does not mean to get rid of.
To let go means to let be.
When we let be with compassion,
things come and go on their own.”
~~ Jack Kornfield
We are in the midst of major shifts during this Leap Year 2024, the Year of Possibilities during the reign of the Green Wood Dragon! The weather, the cosmos, financial and political structures, wars, famines, and natural disasters continue to simmer and erupt. We are all part of the fabric of the world we inhabit, and believe it or not, we are all linked inextricably to each other. On our cellular level, all of the exterior disharmony has been registering, interrupting and interfering with our human energetic vibrations as we make attempts to find harmony in the cataclysm of shift and change that surrounds us. continue reading
YOU MATTER!
Be who you are and say what you feel
Because those who mind DON’T MATTER
And those who MATTER don’t mind.
~~ Dr Seuss
Greetings to all my precious people!
We are winding down the blustery month of March, ending the first quarter of the year and hopefully finding a rhythm to our daily life that supports our wellbeing. Perhaps you have been able to set aside some moments to revisit your delightful amazing Self, as you remember your connection to everything around you. The foundations of Chinese medicine focus on the interconnectedness of all things, and we are not only part of the landscape, but that landscape also lives within us – connected by threads in a fabric woven from the stars and the soil, from the wind and the rain. While this might sound poetic, it is in fact the truth: we are all part of a system, and everything that happens within one part impacts the rest of the system. continue reading
Courage Grace & Compassion
March is the Month of Expectation.
Emily Dickinson
Greetings to all my precious people!
Just when you thought it was safe to put away your winter coat, the North wind blasted us with one more reminder that Nature is in charge of the environment. The month of March is mercurial, and perhaps that makes sense, since the name March is ultimately derived from the Latin word Martius, named after Mars, the Roman god of war. While we are in the midst of welcoming the Spring Equinox, Mercury has entered its “pre-retrograde” shadow and there is also a lunar eclipse on the horizon for March 25th. Change is constant, and the shifts in the season gently remind us that we, too, are part of the environment, contributing to the outside world as well as being affected by it. continue reading
Are You Mind-Full or Mindful?
“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me…
Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
― Shel Silverstein
Greetings to all my precious people!!
March has arrived with plenty of personality, drenching us in torrents of rain while hinting at the promise of warmer temperatures. Daffodil stalks are peeking up from the soil, along with the tiny white snowdrops and the cup shaped crocuses, Nature’s true harbingers of Spring. We are past the Winter incubation period and entering the season of newness, light and vitality, where hope and optimism abound. continue reading
Creating Our Experience
To pay attention ~
this is our endless and proper work.
~~ Mary Oliver
Greetings to all my precious people!!
It is the first day of March in a leap year!! And still, the remnants of Winter remain. During this transitional phase, warm sunny days are mixed with cold rainy moments as the Earth moves in her cyclical shifting pattern. Mother Nature continues to be our best teacher as she adapts and moves forward, mirroring our own Life pivots and shifts. We acknowledge the quiet phase of Winter for surely it is a reminder of the trust and faith we have that Spring will appear. These seasonal patterns reflect life lessons in persistence, patience, and promise. The message of this ‘in-between’ time continues to be: slow down, get quiet, and prioritize deep rest to support your own Spring renewal. continue reading
