If you read my previous post, I have been processing an old bit of shock and numbness from my birth (for a while now – but it was more up in the past few weeks). I had a great session today with a group of compassionate, graceful healing facilitators which definitely shifted a layer orContinue reading “Pilates workout!”

If you are an avid reader of this blog, you may know that I throw the I Ching coins from time to time (a divination tool from China that is at least 3,000 years old). I work with a unique interpretation of the I Ching (Yi Jing) written by Julie Henderson, the founder of ZapchenContinue reading “a storm brews beneath a placid front”

Sometimes the basics are all you need. They are in fact the foundation on which the rest of the material is built! This class I am leading is full of transition – some people missing a class here and there. Hence I am going nice and slow, plodding along through the basics. Of course thatContinue reading “Chi Kung class 4”

There is a difference between knowing the path, and walking the path. I’m not quite there yet. There is also something to be said for experiencing deep wisdom teachings from a fellow human being directly (in-person somatic transmission). Therefore I am not going to say very much in this blog post. [Subtext – if youContinue reading “Chi Kung class 3”

I am leading a Chi Kung class on Saturdays, in Crozet, for another 8 weeks. If you are interested in joining us, you might still be able to squeak in – OR let me know if you are interested in a future class. I might start another group in Charlottesville in January. It is aContinue reading “2nd Chi Kung class: slow and steady”

If you haven’t read this blog over the past six months (go back to January and then start reading forward), then you missed some of the experiences I wrote about from the incredible (Ninja) Massage School I attended. Go back and read those posts and you might understand why I say the word “Ninja.” ButContinue reading “release the pebble into the vast Universal source lake”

Sometimes I write blog posts mainly as a reminder to myself. This would be one of those posts. A friend recently told me about a practice she has started: after looking at the popular new calendar and daily planner called the Panda Planner, and realizing that the process of waking up and writing down whatContinue reading “Panda Planner”

Hello Dear Readers! I am excited to say that leading Chi Kung yesterday went really quite well. Of course I was nervous / excited to start, but once we got underway, we steadily (and slowly) got through my planned class activities. We did jiggling, some knee rotations and pressed a few acupressure points to warmContinue reading “Leading Chi Kung – a new series, slowly shifting gears”

I am a member of a dynamic and extraordinary meditation group. Gratitude, blessing, great fortune have I to be able to join them – we do shamanic journeying, Taoist meditations on Inner Alchemy and I lead meditations on advanced Zapchen Somatic practices, along with some Buddhist meditations. It is quite cutting edge! Tonight we gathered,Continue reading “may the Eye become the Storm”

I am currently watching a great series on herbal medicine and the best part is, for a very limited time, it is free to watch online. Yes it is a pain to be forced to watch an hour and a half / day of educating and engaging documentaries… 🙂 but it is so worth itContinue reading “A great herbal medicine documentary series (free for another 7 days)”
