The Earth Within
If you pay close attention, there is a pulsation to the earth. It isn’t quite a heartbeat… It’s more of a sway, an ebb and flow. I used to think it was kind of sad, or even a sign of brokenness, that I have usually felt closer to plants and animals than people. I love people (I…

Nervous System Tuning with Reiki and Tantra
I didn’t fully understood the background and origin of techniques the first time I practiced Tantric meditation and Yoga Nidra, but it immediately resonated. I was surprised and delighted to find that many of the practices strongly resembled patterns of breath and visualization that had emerged naturally from reiki practice. Probably most seekers will say…

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…

Terrain of the Body
In the last newsletter I shared the idea of internal wind, and some of the ways that interrogating the supremacy of the mind can lead to greater peace with life’s ebbs and flows. We are living in urgent times, and discernment is necessary to conserve our energy and put it to effective use. As my salsa teacher used to say, “When the…

Wind of the mind
At the end of June I was on retreat at Menla. The experience of the land there was pretty incredible, but what struck me the most was the wind. It ripped through the valley many times per day in powerful, smooth currents that rustled the leaves and carved through the bands of energy. I used to have…

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.) In this circle we are inviting the Earth to communicate through our dreams. And the night…

Finding Satisfaction in not knowing
I recently learned that I calculated my personal tarot archetype of 2023 incorrectly. Which seems like a cosmic error because evidently I also did this the prior year, in spite of it being simple math! I double, triple checked and sure enough I had been believing this whole time that I was working through one…

Energy Movement through Time: Part 2
Read Energy Movement through Time Part 1 here I’ve believed in Past Lives since I was very young, I had several dreams as a child that I understood to be glimpses into past lives and the time between lives. Peering into the experiences of another time validated some of the feelings I had even then.…

Energy Movement through Time: Part 1
A well-known therapist turned healer, Daniel Foor, speaks extensively about honoring our ancestors and speaking with them. In a recent lecture last year he said that we can’t reduce them to “merely an energy” and emphasized the need to acknowledge the otherworld as an actual place. I agree with this statement in spirit, but I…

Finding your center as the veil grows thin
As we cross the threshold of the equinox, we find ourselves in a potent portal of release and connection as we approach the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The days are shorter, the veil between the seen and unseen realms grows thinner, and we have access to the potent energies of release and “completion.”…
