A little discussion yesterday with my mate led me to this personal realization after hearing extremely sensible words coming out of my mouth: “OMG! I think I’ve become a pragmatist. How did that happen? And WHEN did it happen?” I’ve always been an idealist, an optimist, an earlier-in-life romantic even. Not many others who haveContinue reading “The Pragmatist”

Traumatic Emotional Impacts Become Looping Negative Memories
Saw a short video by Dr. Pat Ogden, the creator of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, on helping a young anxiety client to counter her own reactive responses to the world around her. Ogden is one of the few well-known psychotherapists who treat clients more holistically recognizing that the kinetic movements or posturing of the physical body oftenContinue reading “Traumatic Emotional Impacts Become Looping Negative Memories”
Walking the ‘Tunnel of Grace’
I was listening to Kaypache on YouTube and saw a Caroline Myss video from May 2020 talking about “The World Is Going to Start Over Again”. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWAc1bRwSHg ) I’ve been a Caroline Myss fan for decades and hadn’t heard this one, so listened. She talked about her experiences at that time with the Covid-19 pandemicContinue reading “Walking the ‘Tunnel of Grace’”
REBIRTH
“True initiation is a response to an inner calling; it requires that you face personal challenges heroically, and to experience a genuine rebirth into a new way of being.” Alberto Villoldo, PhD Ask any screaming newborn just forcefully squeezed out of its mother’s womb like toothpaste from a crumpled tube, how pleasant birthing can be.Continue reading “REBIRTH”

Spangled Cotinga Our Earth “The spangled cotinga is a species of bird in the family Cotingidae, the cotingas. It is found in the canopy of the Amazon Rainforest in South America.

Siwar Q’enti – The Royal Hummingbird
The image above may be of a Violet Sabrewing or a Costa Rican Hummingbird rather than a Peruvian Royal Hummer, but when I saw it staring back at me, I remembered that in Peruvian Shamanism the hummingbird (Siwar Q’enti) represented the North direction and embarking on the epic migratory journey while connecting into the HigherContinue reading “Siwar Q’enti – The Royal Hummingbird”
True Empowerment
Yeah, what he said. Dr Joe Dispenza – OFFICIAL NEWS & FAN PAGE “We should be brave enough to contemplate our lives, do what we thought was “outside the box,” and do it repeatedly. When we do that, we are on our way to a greater level of personal power. True empowerment comes when weContinue reading “True Empowerment”
“Beyond the Walls of Belief”
Resonance Science Foundation “You are not controlled by your genes. You are controlled by your beliefs.” – Bruce Lipton I have one of Lipton’s books, The Biology of Belief, which was interesting at the time published, and which to me seemed to be a precursor to much of what Dr. Joe Dispenza presently teaches now:Continue reading ““Beyond the Walls of Belief””
Healing the Wounds of Abandonment
This morning I was trying to clean off old documents/folders from my computer desktop screen—trashing the stuff that no longer applied or that I simply needed to let go, and I came to a document where I had copied the intro and start of Chapter One from my intended, but never written, fourth HONORING THEContinue reading “Healing the Wounds of Abandonment”
Chaos and Reorder
Being a fairly opinionated person in a world full of similar people is at times problematic. Everyone is so busy vehemently expressing their own views that they have little time to listen to the others around them doing the same. So for awhile there I just sat back and watched, and more importantly, I listenedContinue reading “Chaos and Reorder”
Seeing Through the Pretense Facade
“Enlightenment is a destructive process.It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.” – Adyashanti While we tend to think of ENLIGHTENMENT as the ultimate consciousness attainment level,Continue reading “Seeing Through the Pretense Facade”
Alberto Villoldo’s Guided “Journey to the Upper World”
Just passing this option along to anyone interested in experiencing the standard Shamanic guided journey—this one being to the Upper World for specific purposes or for asking key questions. These shamanic journeying experiences are fairly subjective, and usually you will travel to the Lower World prior to going above, so when he talks about acquiringContinue reading “Alberto Villoldo’s Guided “Journey to the Upper World””
