Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Quite frankly, everyone knows that the true answer for Peace on Earth is love.
The question, how do we repair our severed cord and reconnect to our love?

Let us take a moment, to find the love within us, the love we have for the people we are closest to, for our chosen circle. Take a moment to feel the sweetness of this love. Imagine your heart expanding into the space around you, and then into the hearts of your people. Take a deep breath.
​Now imagine a person you loath. As you begin to see this person, resist the urge to contract into yourself and fist up. Instead, allow yourself to open your heart again, and send love as if that person is in your inner circle. Be clear, sending them the love from your circle does not make them right. It brings even more expansion to your own Being (and everyone near you). Take a deep breath and expand your love into someone you wouldn't normally see with the eyes of love. If each of us can move into more compassion and empathy for other humans, we can drop our fists, and collectively expand into Love. Don't forget, every human stands in their own pile of shame, and every human feels that they are doing more than their share. Take a deep breath. Feel the love in your heart.
​

Until next time,
Hugs.

It can be a challenge. 
​Finding joy. 

Do you have a toothache? 
No? 
Celebrate! 

Find one reason to celebrate. 
​One reason. 

As simple as a heart beating without you thinking about it.
​
Look into your flesh and find a moment that made you smile. 
Feel it. 
Feel it some more. 
Feel it for as long as you can.
Take a deep breath. 
​
Come on back anytime. 

Until next time,
Hugs.

Today we will take this moment to ground into the Earth. 
Chinese Medicine says the Earth gives us our blood and bones; Heaven our essence and spirit.    

Here we go.  I challenge you to take this moment, and be here, in the present moment.  
Inhale deeply and let your eyelids be heavy, feel your feet on the floor and your bum in your seat.  Exhale. 

​Then another. 

Inhale deeply, exhale completely.  

One more. 

From there let your breath be normal and rhythmic. 

Bring your attention to your feet and imagine that your feet are buried in the nutrient dense soil of the Earth.  Root yourself into the stability that the Earth provides.  Inhale and draw up the nourishment you need, into your blood and bones.  Exhale, release and send any feelings of overwhelm, loneliness, anger, judgement, or fear back to the Earth.  The Earth is the ultimate composter, send the shit to her, she will make it goodness once more. 

​Do it again, follow your breath, 5-10 times.  5-10 inhales, drawing up the life force energy that the Earth is so eager to share.  5-10 exhales, releasing the poo from you.  (Bye, bye poo.) 
​When you are done, I encourage you to sit and feel the good feelings you’ve created, cultivate a little more if you can. 

You taking care of yourself, benefits us all.  So, thank you for taking the time.

Until next time.
Hugs.

Fall of 2020.
My deepest gratitude goes out to you dear reader.  This is my very first publication ever, I am grateful you chose to take the time.  Thank you for being here. 

Picture this, it's you, and a path in the woods. "Silence," yet nothing is silent.  "Stillness," yet nothing is still.  There is life all around you, reminding you that you are not alone.  You are never alone. 

Let us begin this friendship with a deep breath.  A deep breath into this space, that is free from judgement.  Into this space, where we can meet ourselves where we are.  A place where we can feel and see the unbounded abundance that is all around.  Here we will release the outcome and feel free now, we will learn to feel the support that you brought with you, buried within your earthly body, that no one can ever strip from you.  This support will never leave your side, even if you’re being an idiot, and making terrible decisions.  Welcome to this place, this space of support.  A place you can count on.  
 
Until next time.  
Hugs.
