This email was sent out in July. Apparently I never puclished it on the site, but the ideas in here about stress and your power, I felt like needed to be shared. So, it will show up on the website out of date. Monday's meditation was an acknowledgement that to know your power in today's world has something to do with your ability to manage stress. I had never made that connection before. It makes perfect sense. We talked about light bringers and power and our humanity and div

We played again in the astrology of Barbault's Basket. We integrated all the planets in this basket into our body. They already live there, as the whole universe is inside you. (As above, so below) There are many takes to this basket, and a very long time to actually see the results of it for most of us, but the way I am reading it/ feeling it is right in line with the currents of energy this whole year, but with more power for clarity. We are balancing the masculine and femi

The astrology tells us we have moved from healing to living life as the new version of ourselves. Many of us are feeling a new stream of energy these days. If you have been on a path of self-growth over the last few years, you might be feeling it too. As we slid into meditation the energy of life and fully living asked to come in through the pores of our skin. We did some brainspotting to release the expectations we have had of life that keep us in prisons of our own making.

We started Monday Meditation talking about being able to see what is for us with an open heart and mind. We talked about the dance the masculine and feminine are walking through in this moment, and we talked about our power and the connection it has with joy. We are here for joy. We do the work of being human for joy. When we can come to the place of gratitude, and for me, when I move my body, I have more access to joy, and spirit tells me the more I access joy, the more conn

Monday morning was truly deep and wonderful. We have moved through some hard things the past few weeks and months. It seems the tides have shifted with the benefic planets playing together in the field. We started with alignment of the chakras and then the spine. We talked about how alignment connects us to our power. Not the kind of power you wield over another. The kind of power that holds you accountable, that knows your value and keeps you self-possessed regardless of wha

We started Monday Meditation expanding our masculine energy to help us build a stronger, possibly larger, container to hold our dreams. The first message, it is safe to dream your dreams. It is safe to hold the vision, not just in your third eye, but all the way down to your root chakra. Mercury and Venus are out of bounds, and we were reminded that when a planet is out of bounds it is a call to go beyond the barriers that divinde and control us. And the worst things we can

Diligent and honest are the words that I was given even before we went into meditation. We start each week with conversation. We talk about what is going on in our lives and/or what is going on in astrology. Then out of nowhere as we were talking I said "The best thing we can do in this time period, with all this going on, is be diligent and honest." Later in the meditation we talked more about the definition of the word and disciplined seemed a better fit for the energy that

I got 4 or 5 new sprays from the fern medicine guy, Pohala, that smell amazing. We started gathering Monday with each participant choosing the spray most appropriate for them. Then, once I started playing bowls I was led to play each bowl by itself to allow one individual frequency to penetrate deeply into each of us. Each bowl wanted to be known by one word. Protection, alignment, balance, guidance, and heart. The word that echoed most through the meditation was singular, su

We started working Monday morning, right in the spine. We moved the breath and the energy that organizes universes from the atlas to tailbone and back up. Are there any parts of your life that you could be taking a stronger lead in? What are you giving over to someone else that is your responsibility? We then started to work in the right side, bringing space to the thoracic spine, and therefore into the ribcage. Eventually we balanced with space on the left side. As we often

We spent most of the meditation tending to the heart and the brain, all to lead up to this wonderful question. How do we weave the wisdom of the elder with the dream of the youth? We will walk forward the next few weeks embodying the answer to this. It all started in the heart, the mind melted into the heart. The heart felt heavy for much of the hour. The heavy wasn't bad or wrong, just heavy. I spoke about what I was listening to on my ride into work. An interview was talkin

Meditation this week, we played with slow, deliberate energy, stabilizing and fortifying the nervous system, the physical body and the field around the body. We ended with joy, the remembrance of joy, and we planted more seeds of joy for the future. Short and sweet! I have to drive to Atlanta to be with my sister today and take my mother for a biopsy tomorrow. Pray for ease. I understand that the thyroid biopsy isn't a comfortable procedure.

Last night I wrote this email with the meditation synopsis and today I got up to edit and send it out, but it was gone. I have to write the whole thing over again. The first word I got as I sat down to do that was unhurried. The email had been untitled. When you are prepared you can move quickly with efficiency. This is unhurried. When we are not prepared, it can feel like chaos to move quickly. What part of you needs attention so that you might feel prepared to move quickly?

I started Monday morning listening to an interview about how being able to hold more than one perspective creates energy. In the conversation before class Kathryn was talking about how over the weekend she noticed what things looked like from different perspectives. Then I knew opening up to more perspectives is what we would meditate on. We spent time balancing our mind, then our heart and we brought them together and took them to the root. We noticed then, the brilliance of

Apologies for not sending anything out the last two week. Two weeks ago I moved on Tuesday. Last week I was in Atlanta taking my mom to the doctor. It has been pretty intense. Mostly in a good way. The house is filled with light and it is a joyful house. I have never really felt such a happy little abode. I bought the house from a friend and it is the perfect place to land. Over the weekend, even though the house still needs order, for the first time upon moving into a new fo

We started Monday Meditation with gratitude for each other, for this little circle where we each have a different experience of life, where there is no judgement, we can say whatever, we celebrate each other, we can be grumpy, we can be shocking. There is nothing wrong with any of us. It is wonderful! Life is a many splendored thing. We dropeed into the body, with compassion for ourselves. Where are you being impatient with yourself? Allow yourself to be where you are with t

The spinal alignment training I went to was called Subtle Energy Mechanics. At one point in the training he used the the term mechanics of awakening. Using this technique we will not only be using subtle energy to make space in your spine so it can align itself for physical health, but this lends to emotional healing and the awakening of the lower and higher mind. So far I have no testimonies from clients about the awaking of the mind, but my first client back said she felt

This is where we are right now. The fields of creation. In Monday meditation there was a lot of space, not a lot of words. There was the feeling of the void, and the feeling of conception, before we knew that conception had occurred. We were reminded that if you don't know what to do, go have some fun. We were also reminded to look for beauty. Someitmes it is hard to see it, but when that is our focus, that is what we find. When we find beauty and appreciate it fully, it ea

Meditation ended Monday with the message to streamline your practices, to become more efficient with your daily routines and practical systems. This message was an invitation to streamline your connection to your body, the earth and your higher self as well. I started class sharing something I learned in the subtle energy mechanics class I am taking. I learned more about the anatomy of the vegus nerve and where to touch specifically to calm it. So, going in we were already su

We started meditation monday with a surprise. We exalted our spirit, allowed it halfway up to the sun, for warmth and for wisdom. For Remembrance. We bathed in the frequency of a single bowl, and then another single bowl. We scrubbed the two bowls that help us move dissonance out of the body. I used my rattle, and whenever I use it a lot, it talks to me about choices. There are big choices that affect our life in large ways, but truly, the course of your life is determined by

We are approaching the end of the year of the snake in Chinese astrology. This matches with what is going on is Western astrology, even if different language. We are moving from the year of the snake to the year of the fire horse. We had a great conversation about the fact the rattlesnake is the only snake that can take down a horse. At the end of every year a snake sheds its skin. With a rattle snake, the shedding isn't complete and what doesn't shed off the end turns into t
