Receive free healing….A free meditation and mindfulness practice is on my Substack. Please enjoy and I’d LOVE your feedback. Praises, critiques, what you want more of. I’m building an online mini course, a place to begin or deepen with breath. A life changing course of simple practices and illuminations I have studied and integrated over the last 20 years! This free meditation is the simplest and most basic; a starting point to heal your nervous system. Enjoy!

This is where we sit for tea. The oaks bow over us.
Your gaze sets out over the canyon and toward your heart. I love this spot. I love this land. And I love serving this medicine! Ritual is how we change, and heal and grow. Consistency…. A few minutes of breath every day, a little yoga, mindfulness, meditation, tea…
This is how we change and transform. This is how the nervous system heals.

If your life is making you unwell, you must CHANGE your life. Tea is popular because it’s helping people change their lives. Come for tea!

Thank you for this photo my tea sister

Michaelmas is the first celebration at Waldorf schools… integrated through story, art and song…

Michaelmas honors the Archangel Michael, a notable figure found within Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. He represents the triumph of good over evil, a symbol of courage over cowardice inspiring us to face our fears and strengthen our resolve.

My heart is so full. Marlowe is in grade 1 and loving his little school life! has our hearts!

Me. Talking about and ways to decompress your sweet spine. Every Monday at 10:30. The Body Restorative on Zoom. Link in bio ⭐️
(YES, Tensegrity is a REAL word and it describes the way our bodies hold structure. Read below and replace bars/struts with BONES; replace cables with fascia.)

Tensegrity, tensional integrity or floating compression is a structural principle based on a system of isolated components under compression inside a network of continuous tension, and arranged in such a way that the compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other while the prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially.[1] (via Wikipedia)

October theme: NINJA
Ninja-ing….warrioring. Warrioring as in moving through life with your heart so exposed it hurts. Moving through fear moment by moment into FEARLESSNESS. What does this even mean? What IS fearlessness?

I personally exist with so much FEAR. Most of us do. How do we not live and breathe moment to moment in fear? How do we not freak out in scary situations? The practice of the warrior (in Buddhist teachings) is to do life moment to moment moving BEYOND fear. This is the bravest thing anyone can do! Fear doesn’t disintegrate away. Fear is there as an option. When I choose it, I can write one heck of a horror story, filled with the friends that accompany fear (anxiety, anger, blame, hate, resentment, regret, worry….)
When I choose to move through and beyond fear(a very imperfect practice) I find myself in LOVE with life, in TRUST, PRESENT, raw and weepy (in a good way). I feel the fragility and resilience of life. The clarity. The reality of the present moment. This is a moment to moment practice. Not an achievement. How do we actually DO this? It’s a CHOICE and it’s WORK (along with tools to guide you)
I have to choose to let go of fear over and over, sometimes 60 times a minute. It’s a choice. It’s work. And it’s FREEDOM.
My tools:
-Reach out! Call friends and loved ones who believe in you and your highest good. Do not reach out to those who enhance the fear story lines, love drama or “what if” scenarios
-utilize therapists and coaches trained to guide you back to CLARITY
-PRAY- talk to God, your higher power, angels, divine & practice handing over your fears and falling into trust
-do the work with Byron Katie
-breathe and meditate ANYWHERE (your bed in the middle of the night or crack of dawn, the toilet, waiting rooms & when you first park your car.
-read The Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
-ASK for HELP
There are more tools to guide us beyond fear and into love. Please share your thoughts and tools with me. I’d love to hear… and I love you ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
