Queering Energy, letting it be what it is
Energy itself is neither positive or negative. The first time I heard this, it was stated as “there is no such thing as negative energy” and I found it very triggering. Maybe part of that was the lack of nuance in how it was conveyed, but mostly it was the response of the reiki teacher…

Out of the Lion’s Gate and Into the Fire
Somewhere between July and August my Chariot went off-road. Things that had been moving smoothly, if sometimes slower than I wanted, started to develop snags.

A Constellation of Selves
Developing a “cohesive sense of self” is a goal in many perspectives of therapy and personal development.

We could refer back to concepts illuminated in the Adult Attachment Interview, that this lack of cohesion…

I was fortunate that I connected with a great teacher who was willing to personalize the experience, and bring her…
