Mayan Calendar and 2012
2007-07-09 22:45:00
A few days ago, my good friend, Adrienne told me she'd read an article by Charles Berner. He developed a Spiritual Process she's into around Dyad Meditations. This article, or series of articles, was about "The End Times." We talked about the Maya n Calendar , other psychics, Abraham, who have all talked about these times as happening soon, the Bible, and all that stuff...and isn't it interesting that they all say lots of the same stuff....and isn't it interesting that it all seems to point to pretty soonly here.We also talked about how when the topic of aliens, psychics, The End Times, Atlantis, etc., come up we both find them interesting in a detached sort of way, remain open, think they probably have Truth to them but don't focus on them as they aren't our in our daily consciousness or experience (except that she has had a few alien experiences, but doesn't get caught up in them). So we had our conversation, that was that, it crossed my mind fleetingly during the day, I let ...

Momentous Feelings
2007-07-08 20:10:00
My emotions always flow, one into the other, never constant, always shifting, changing. One minute I can be fine, the next, some sadness may come in. I believe they are one of my greatest gifts. They tell me what I want, what I don't want, who I think I am. They are Life. They've brought me tons of pleasure, and pain. They are my Teachers, I want to feel them, I want to embrace them all.Today I am wondering, again, what they are, why they are here, where they come from. Yes, I've already learned tons from Teachers on what they are. I know what the Masters say about them. I know Buddha's opinions on them. I know that many feel the best way to deal with them is to transcend them and attain BlissBunnyEnlightenment. But since I'm ornery and don't really buy into what anyone else says, I've not bought into that one, either. And I guess, if truth be told, I don't even want to explore how to deal with them today (I would much rather be than do). Today I'm just curious, ever watchi...

Tantric Heart Opening
2007-07-05 18:27:00
Greenwoman, a wonderful Spirit who I feel honored to call Friend and Teacher, has asked me if I would be interested in writing on Tantra today and for the next two Thursdays while she is away on a Beautiful Spiritual Journey. I happily agreed. This week, I want to talk about an experience I had before my formal training. It's one of the experiences that guided me to wanting to find a Teacher and study with Masters. Although it was about 17 years ago, I remember it like it was today and can still remember all the sensations and emotions. It also contributes to why I am so fascinated with the power of sex and its potential for us as humans--how it opens us to Spirit when done consciously. It was A...Mazing for me. I will post two disclaimers here: 1) The rest of this post is a description of a sexual experience, but not graphic. If you are easily offended, I will lovingly invite you to leave now. 2)I can find no other words to use here other than the ones I have used. It was a very i...

Flower Friends
2007-06-30 21:56:00
While walking this morning, I passed a flower garden and got happy just looking at it. It seemed the flowers were screaming "HappyHappy" to me as I walked by. They beckon me to look at and remember the abundance that's all around me. They stand tall, bending in the wind, sometimes opening their faces to the sun, sometimes only coming out at night. They live short lives, but when they're here, they are unabashed in full glory, screaming bounty and beauty like nothing else.Their colors are magic. I can't merely look at a flower from far away. I get my face right up next to them. I've always liked flowers, of course, but many years ago, I started to beentranced by them. How do they do those colors? The perfect fading into perfect permutations of shades and hues. If you look at the petals, they are just about perfectly matched...the lines are equidistant, the spots uniform in how far up the petal they go, their overall pattern, how they line up in comparison to each other. Perfect. ...

Full Body Breaths
2007-06-29 07:04:00
These last few months I've been paying very close attention to my breathing throughout the day. I've been amping it up these last few weeks. I also did a breathwork session with a client last week and noticed that where I used to be able to breath unhindered for over an hour, I was tingly after about fifteen minutes. It looks like along with all the other ways in which I managed to shut things down inside me over the last two years, my breath also got shallow. I'm not in the least surprised.But that's OK, as I'm on my way back to Body . We can all find our way back to Body. Do you feel all of yours?So the awareness has been to feel the air enter my nostrils, feel it tickle my throat, notice when it touches the places of holding there, in my jaw. I open the jaw, feel it loosen. I relax my mouth so it opens a bit. I feel Lungs expand and open the constriction that is held there. It's tight each time I focus there, but opens as I bring awareness. I invite opening, inviting breath ...

2007-06-27 19:08:00
My last year of college I did a senior project on trying to find the etiology of why the devil is correlated with sex. It was a ridiculously large endeavor that had no business trying to fit in a 40 page paper. For the project, I did parallel research on the history and evolution of the devil plus the evolution of the Christian Church's views and doctrines on sexuality. And, although I found tons of art from the 6th to the 9th century that depicted the devil with a hard-on, unfortunately none of it has made its way to the internet so you'll just have to trust me that the theme was pretty much on everyone's mind. Did you know that the people of the middle ages thought that there were so many devils and demons everywhere that you couldn't drop a needle without it hitting a number of them? These were very frightened people.Aside from the obvious references to and need to ban Pan, the only answers that made sense to me were those of Jung's Quaternary Theory. This idea, in a sesame ...

Another Very Happy Song

Watsu And Water Dance
2007-06-21 19:45:00
9 Choirs recently wrote a great piece on Watsu which has had me dreaming about it ever since. I want some.For a history of Watsu and Water Dance , you can go here. Basically it's a form of body experience like no other. It's done in pools. You totally surrender your body to the practitioner, who pushes and stretches the body into healing postitions that articulate the joints, open the heart and put me in another world. In Watsu, the head stays above water at all times. In WaterDance the practitioner puts you under water. Generally, you get Watsu a number of times before you progress to the WaterDance as it's the more advanced form and requires a great deal of trust and letting go to stay with someone dunking you under water and you being able to maintain that level of trance state without fear.I live about two hours away from Harbin Hot Springs, the mecca for training Watsu practitioners. Unlike most people interested in the healing arts in this area, I've only been to Harbin twi...

Also known as Summer Solstice or MidSummer. This is the fifth sharing I'm doing on the Celebrations of the Wheel of the Year. The other preceding posts can be found here. Please note that these are not necessarily the ways that those who call themselves traditional Wiccan or Pagan would interpret these holidays or celebrate them. They're just me and where I've come to with them. I meditated on the energies as I felt them, added to the things I had learned and took them different places. I see these celebrations as not only about the celebrations of the cycles of the Earth, but also our life cycles. Ostara is about birth and young childhood, Beltane about becoming alive sensual beings in our bodies as the Earth starts to grow strong with lush green everywhere. By Midsummer time, gardens are in full swing. In my area, some of the harvest has begun and all the rest of the plants are in full expression. How that translates to me in terms of our life cycles? We are in full on adultho...

Happy Songs And Goals

I've been tagged by two lovely ladies to play Meme games!The first is from Karen at Live the Power. It's a meme called ?Songs that make your heart sing? and was started by Hilda at Living Out Loud.This one is way easy for me. My favorite song of all times is "In Your Eyes," by Peter Gabriel. I've heard it hundreds of times, and each time I hear it I instantaneously get happyhappy...ecstatic, actually. If I'm standing I dance, if I'm driving my arms dance and I sing it really really loud. I love it because it's about the power of love, but also because of the music. You can listen to an amazing live version of it here. Yup, cried again it's so beautiful to me...I love watching people dance and sing. Gabriel says it's about Love between people or of God.And, I get to tag three others so am tagging Jonas who I don't think does memes but he does do music, Greenwoman and Vera Nadine because......____________________________ _______....Vera Nadine tagged me for another Meme called...

Reclaiming Addictions As Gifts
2007-06-16 21:52:00
One revelatory theme of my life has been that whatever is in front of me is the that thing can move me closer to my connection with my authentic self. Whatever I see as my struggle is my Teacher and Gift. When I'm able to look without judgment, vital information is always available to me. Sometimes I get lost, go into judgement and victimhood and sometimes it takes me some percolating before I'm ready to move into the next cycle. But once I decide to move past the victim and remember the divine creator I am, I regain balance at this new level of creation.Looking forward with detached anticipation to a nice dinner with wine pairings for each of the amazing seven courses included, is not the same intention as craving a bottle of wine because I'm twitchy. When I'm feeling an urge to drink, especially when that isn't the usual place I'm in these days, I want to look at what that urge is telling me. It's here, it's what I'm experiencing so it has meaning for me. I don't beat my...

My Dance With Addictions*
2007-06-12 00:37:00
What, exactly, is an addiction? Is it a biochemical thing, something that enters the body and inevitably causes us to have a set of responses? Are we victims of substances or cravings?Did you know that there is a recovery center for people addicted to computer games? And that the people there go through a physical detox: sweats, tremors, vomiting...just like any other "chemical dependency." WTF??? If addictions and symptoms of withdrawal are due to the chemical leaving the body, what chemical is getting into the people from playing games? If an addiction to a substance is only chemical, why didn't I have nicotene withdrawal after smoking three packs of cigarettes a day for a little over ten years? How could that be? I had never tried to quit. It hadn't crossed my mind because I liked smoking. I had been working on my Inner Self intensely for awhile. I began slowly noticing an increasing desire that came from deep within me to be healthy in all ways. I started to not enjoy smoking ...

Yes, I Get Angry
2007-06-10 21:07:00
It doesn't happen too often that I lose it. It takes lots to get me the point where one of my buttons gets pushed that far. But it does happen. It's happened twice now in the last seven months. Once was a personal fight, one was online when I felt protective of someone rights being violated and people being cruel about her. In both cases, I felt a need to protect. See hair fly, teeth bare, energy of a huge battalion all balled up in my aura. Anger is considered a "lead" emotion, meaning that we feel anger because we don't want to feel something deeper that is harder and more painful to feel. The reason I don't get angry very often is that I have learned to go to the thing being covered up. But....I don't always make it initially. I can still get buttons pushed.In the first situation, I was angry and said "fuck you" to hide what was really going on...which was that I felt desolate, alone, abandoned, stressed, unloved, uncared for, at wit's end, unappreciated, unseen. The situat...

Observations Of Spiritual Blogland
2007-06-07 18:13:00
As I've noted a few times on here, this arena in Blogland is new to me. I've been enjoying reading about people's interpretations on spirituality. I notice:...that very very few people mention sex, alluding it no more than once on their blogs, if that. Is this because spiritual people aren't sexual? Is it because the topic is verboten? Is it that sex is not considered a part of a spiritual quest? Where is this vital, core piece of our humanity, this place of connection with the divine? Are spiritual people uncomfortable talking about sex? Is sex still relegated to the sinful, the untouchable, even in our enlightened times?....that when I shared this observation with someone I know who has both a spiritual and sex blog, she pointed out that not only is sex not discussed, but anger isn't either. I hadn't noticed, but am now looking for it, too. **********************After writing the above, the compu...

Tantra Exercise: Desire
2007-06-06 04:37:00
This exercise can be done with anything in any circumstance where you have a desire for something. Say you want a cup of tea. Pay attention to every detail in its preparation, the enjoyment of it. Putting all awareness in your hands/body, see/feel your hand as it touches the cup. Appreciate its design and colors as you remove it from your cupboard. Feel the texture of the tea strainer. Watch each leaf of the tea fall into the tea pot. As you pour the water into the pot, watch and become one with the steam. Hear the tea pour out of the pot into your cup, notice the color. Smell the plant smells. Feel the heat of the tea.Now sit with the cup of tea. As you hold the cup, imagine that the cup of tea desires you...your lips...wants to feel your tongue. With each sip, feel the tea's desire for you. Sit and enjoy every sip slowly, feeling the longing from the tea to dance with you, become one with you. Remember and imagine throughout your day that everything you desire also desires you. I...

Kundalini Rising?
2007-06-04 05:08:00
In 1993, I had lost 75 pounds, had been doing all sorts of bodywork to become more fully alive, get my energy (life) back. I was in another transition.When I work on my emotional well being I generally do body stuff rather than traditional talk therapy. Through working with the body, I release emotional trauma and the accompanying deep gunky psychological protective stuff that keeps it there. I like doing it this way because I get to release all sorts of deep unconscious stuff without years of therapy. Very powerful work; not for the light of heart.I was ready to live and in my Italian Leo sort of fashion, I was intense in this endeavor to have my body be a clear vessel of light. One of the bodyworkers I was seeing lived an hour and a half away. He was supposedly psychic and combined his knowledge about releasing old body stuff with his intuitive abilities. His name was Cory. At about the middle of the fourth or fifth session, he was doing deep abdominal work on me. Now...I've had ...

My Truth
2007-06-01 16:56:00
After traveling high and low, far and wide, both inside and out, the only Truth that remains for me is that I create my world. For me....from this, all things flow; other than this, all things are relative.When the Visionaries, the Mystics of each tradition connect directly with Godsource, who do they see? Does a Sadhu see White Buffalo Woman? Does a Pentecostal see Hecate? Does Oshun appear to a Roman Catholic?No. We create our worlds and The All supports us so completely that even at this level, It manifests itself to us in the ways in which we will most easily receive It.Why? Why do it this way? Why not one religion, one answer that lets us know our true nature, the One path back to God and how to "be" here on this planet? Why no user's manual for Earth?Differences exist to further creation and expansion of Life. If everyone's brain worked the same way, if we all had the same experience and came to the same conclusions, there would be very little questioning, therefore very lit...

Karen over at Live the Power has tagged me for a meme that was started by Cardin at Optimistlab. I feel really honored as I feel I am so new to this Blogland and am still finding my way here.

Meme's can be way fun.So...my five favorite ways to raise my energy?1) A nice slow (minimum of two hour) sex session. Takes my mind off just about anything, puts me in my body in a really nice way. The best attitude adjuster I've ever experienced.2) A drive. I love to get out of town in my car. There's something about the movement, the music (which I always play really loudly), the vibration of the car, the sensation of flying/speed and all wonderful stuff to look at- ...

My Ego Is My Friend
2007-05-30 00:00:00
Long ago and far away, I somehow got the message that my ego was a bad thing. It was what made me sad. It was always wanting, was this thing that gave me desires, therefore the opening to pain. It hid things inside, gave me "masks," kept me separate from others and God. It wasn't real. It was my main obstacle to enlightenment and my job here was to get past Ego, anhillate it, rip it apart, tune into my Authentic Self, meditate it away and then everything would be Blissbunny Land.Although I never consciously interpreted it this way, I realized over time that I was pissed at my ego. How could I not be, with all that I perceived it was "doing" to me? Shoot...because of it I wasn't happy. If I could just change it, heal it, fix its pathologies, its negativity and its ...yes....evil ways, then all would be well.It came as quite a shock to me one day when I flashed on an internal whisper of a totally different perspective. If I knew that since The All (of which I was part) unconditional...

All The Little Voices: Voice Dialogue
2007-05-28 22:15:00
Of the gabillions of processes I've tried, I consider Voice Dialog ue to be one of the most effective. Learning to talk to all the little voices inside my head taught me lots. Plus does't it feel so wonderful to finally admit they're there?Ever try to make a decision and have all sorts of different ideas that simultaneously conflict? Ever decide to do something, do it, then have guilt or at least question what you've done? These are the different Voices at work. They can, and often do, hold polar opposite perspectives on a situation or relationship. They each want equal consideration and cooperation. No one wants their opinions to be left out if they think they're really good ones, right? Our inner Voices are the same.I call this process "Transformative Sacred Theatre" because to really be effective, you isolate and let go into these pieces and parts of your Self that you hear in your head. You let them take you over and speak.Most all of us share certain Voices: The Judge and/o...

Crazy Wisdom Inspiration
2007-05-24 20:27:00
One of my favorite spiritual growth bloggers is Isabella Mori of Change Therapy. Her post today pointed to a new-to-me blog, Source Of Inspiration and a project that's going on there. It's to write about Inspiration- what inspires us, motivates us, gets us out of the mundane. I read the post calling for submissions, stopped and thought for maybe two seconds before the answer hit me.Death .And, as I have such a sick sense of humor, this, of course, made me laugh when I imagined responses when people would read this. But it's true. When I look back over the years at what has been the prime mover to get me out of temporary funks, major funks, tweakies, crankies, anything, it's been remembering Death. Because Death gently and lovingly reminds me of Life. Life Right Now.There is a question I have taken to asking "thinking" people I've met over the last seven-ish years or so. It can be and sometimes is blown off as trite. But being the cheezy person I am, I ask anyway because when it...

Law Of Attraction: Money And Flow
2007-05-17 16:58:00
I've listened to Abraham tapes for over twelve years now. Before that, I worked with Gay and Katie Hendricks for years using their Quantum Therapy practices designed to release unconscious blocks to abundance and joy in every area of life. I've watched "The Secret." And now, since starting this blog last month and wanting to find out what's out there on this subject, I'm discovering whole blogs that focus on how to create money with the Law Of Attraction . As a student of Life, I am curious about how others use LOA, interpret it, incorporate it on a day to day basis. These reflections and mirrors are some of the ways I use to learn about myself.I guess I've been using Law Of Attraction to do just that- create money. I created a livelihood for myself that "shouldn't" have worked out for me for a variety of reasons. But when I look more deeply as to how I've used Law Of Attraction as it pertains to money, I think I've been using it backwards from how I'm hearing it used these ...

At The Speed Of Life
2007-05-15 17:09:00
I had been doing all sorts of oddball body "therapies" in my late 20's and early 30's. Much of it centered around getting my linear mind out of the way, experiencing the body's energies and directly accessing deeper unconscious stuff. I did alot of cathartic breathwork, often in warm bath.I was getting different kinds of body work done: Network Chiropractic, Deep Tissue Release work of varying kinds, regular massage. I found during those sessions I would get a memory or emotional flash, sometimes deep grief, past life memories, or things that caused pain when I was a child. I found that if I went into the emotional component, that often the body pain/tweak/ache would release. I learned to tune into my body and focus there, even when not getting the bodywork done, knowing that my body held much of my wisdom and as well as the pain. I started doing a process called Voice Dialogue, which I'll talk about soon. Suffice it to say that it's a verbal therapy that gets me out of my line...

"The Inner Guide Meditation" by Ed Steinbrecher

I'm slowly making my way through the history and Path my Spiritual Journey has taken. I'm still in my 20's and early 30's in the telling and I am now 50. Before I move forward any more, I wanted to share a few posts about some of the processes and Teachers I found who helped me define what I felt inside.One of these Teachers was Ed Stein brecher. You can find out more about him here. He combined astrology with the work of Carl Jung and developed a very interesting way of dealing with the archetypal energies we all have inside us.His process in a nutshell:First you get a horoscope done. This lets you know which energies you chose to incarnate with, and how they are in harmony or conflict. Then you meet your Inner Guid e . This involves a series of seen/felt movments that you go through in active meditation (guided visual meditations). You see yourself walking into a cave. You look to the left and see a door. You go through the door into a new landscape. You look to the right and see...
