Those whose healing is bound with ours
Moving into October, I can’t help but feel the pull towards connection with ancestors and others across the veil. It does seem that this year that quality of proximity began a bit earlier than usual. Maybe that’s because I’ve been writing more about mediumship and ancestry. I’ve been drawn to therapeutic work around death…

Death and Afterbirth at the bottom of a Lake
With startling synchronicity I found myself facilitating a dreaming circle while simultaneously participating in one. (I suppose when I saw the title “Earth Dreaming” I could’ve anticipated it, but I read that more figuratively so it came as a surprise.)

Timeline Hopping
Working with past and future selves, naturally lends itself to considering the impact of your experiences and choices on how we express ourselves today. Something that emerged in the recent reiki group was this tendency to see a negativity bias when we work with past and future ideas of self. Quite often when we think…

Past and future selves
“The past is a much a mystery as the future.” Season 3 of Umbrella Academy So often we think of healing or growing as resolving the wounds of the past, and maybe the present. The ways we hold on to experiences, are haunted by them, or see indications of their repetition all around us (whether…
