Mindfulness
Awaken To Your Healing Gifts
“The body is a sacred garment. It’s your first and last garment;
it is what you enter life in and what you depart life with,
and it should be treated with honor.”
~~ Martha Graham

The Full Moon in Aries, also referred to as The Hunter’s Moon, peaked on Thursday, October 17 at 7:26 am on the East Coast. Aries is known as the warrior of the zodiac. Ruled by the fire element and the planet Mars, Aries reminds us that we are each here on a mission that is personal and unique. The warrior spirit of the Full Moon in Aries asks us to focus on ourselves and our soul’s purpose. Aries delivers courage and motivation to align with the life your soul desires, releasing habits, situations, and relationships that obstruct growth and evolution. We are encouraged to take action, stand up and fight for what we believe in, and overcome any obstacles in the way of our dreams. continue reading
The Courage to Surrender
“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.”
~~ Khalil Gibran

The Year of the Yang Green Wood Dragon arrived on February 10, 2024 and its influence continues through January 2025. We are currently in the ninth month of this cycle, and there is still time to embrace the energetics of the Dragon and choose necessary change for the greater good of ourselves, as well as our families and communities.
And yet… and still: there is so much chaos, so much disharmony. continue reading
Living within The Mystery
“Life is filled with mystery, courage, heroism, and love –
all these things that we can witness
but cannot measure or even understand,
but they make our lives valuable anyway.”

We are navigating interesting times. Catastrophic natural events combined with cataclysmic happenings around the world are wreaking havoc, dissonance, and despair. Yet, in the midst of mayhem, sparks of courage, heroism, and love are demonstrated as we witness people helping one another during an unrelenting humanitarian crisis. There are so many levels of hurt, combined with so many more levels of help, so let us not be blind to those who are doing the daily work of being available and showing up without fanfare. I am reminded of the comment Mr. Fred Rogers shared: “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” Take heed, have faith. Look for the helpers—and demonstrate the best of humanity by being a helper, too! continue reading
Are you making space for POSSIBILITY?
“I am making a home inside myself where grace blooms
in grand and glorious abundance,
a shelter of kindness that grows all the truest things.”

Eclipse season has arrived and there is a sense of chaotic anticipation sprinkled with a bit of consternation and worry. Have you noticed anything out of sync in your world this week? The Harvest Moon on Tuesday contributed both light and shadow to the night, and the dance of yin and yang was evident in the sky. But it was also a reflection of what was occurring inside each of us, since we are part of the tapestry of Nature. What part of you might have been eclipsed? What feeling, relationship or habit might have come out of the shadows lately? Are there aspects of your Self that sparked some glimmers of imagination and possibility? continue reading
Let There Be Room for “Not Knowing”
“Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there’s a big disappointment, we don’t know if that’s the end of the story. It may just be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don’t know anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don’t know.”
~~ Pema Chödrön
Greetings to all my precious people!
We are halfway through September and on the cusp of Eclipse season, as Nature and the cosmos move through their eternal cycles and predictive patterns. Paying attention to the world we inhabit offers us clues to the unfolding shifts that are mirrored in our physical body and impact our emotional and spiritual levels. Many of us check the weather reports daily as forecasters offer their predictions and guesstimates based on changing wind patterns. But how often do we consider touching base with systems like cosmology or astrology to get a sense of which way the wind blows, or the moon rises? continue reading
