Semi-retreat stalling a bit, but virtuous conduct continues

For all of you regular readers (thank you BTW!), I have been attempting to maintain a semi-retreat in the month of November – which meant doing one to three (or rarely four) hours of practice a day, in addition to maintaining a life as a lay person in Virginia, USA. The past couple days though,Continue reading “Semi-retreat stalling a bit, but virtuous conduct continues”

Semi-retreat and baby steps

The current semi-retreat I am on is going well. Although some days I get in close to an hour of practice and other days it is longer. I also want to add to my list of practices from a previous post (yoga, qigong, meditation, Dharma practices): add body scan meditations and good mother messages. GoodContinue reading “Semi-retreat and baby steps”

Semi-retreat is both contemplative & active

If you have been keeping track of my previous posts the past couple weeks, you will remember my mentioning being in quasi retreat. That is because it was my intention in the month of November to pretty much take time off. I have been doing that pretty well. But let me be clear. When theContinue reading “Semi-retreat is both contemplative & active”

Saturn square Jupiter: a challenging relationship aspect

  This post is actually about any hard aspect between Saturn and Jupiter in relationship synastry. I am going to define all the astrologese terms as it were. Relationship Synastry means when I compare my separate birth (natal) astrology chart to someone else’s separate independent natal chart. For instance, my Saturn is in 16 degreesContinue reading “Saturn square Jupiter: a challenging relationship aspect”

3 Sources Qigong; inner juicy delicious graceful dance

Did 3 Sources qigong with a friend. Wow! It was about 50% warm up, lots of jiggling and bouncing, along with eye rolls, head roll, shoulders, elbows, knees, etc. Very focused on rooting (into the ground, into Mother Earth). Surprised there were a few tongue exercises. The main practice was more inner chi awareness andContinue reading “3 Sources Qigong; inner juicy delicious graceful dance”

I have been so very fortunate, advanced process-oriented bodywork

I want to write a post about how lucky I am to be one of my bodywork teacher’s senior students. Her name is Janet Evergreen. She is in her 60’s now, and she just, in a recent class, made a comment about starting to slow down how often she teaches her classes. This and herContinue reading “I have been so very fortunate, advanced process-oriented bodywork”

A day of errands and bodywork

Not a lot to report today retreat wise. Rather, I am selling my nursing books, so I am making a bi-weekly run to the post office and shipping store. Then this afternoon I am assisting in a long bodywork session – birth process oriented (resolving, releasing, re-negotiating birth issues which in the past led toContinue reading “A day of errands and bodywork”

Working on an astrological post (about politics)

We will see if I can get all my thoughts together and put on paper in a grok-able manner. I had a very interesting conversation with a friend who is a practicing Buddhist, astrologer and yogi. The United States’ chart is having a tough time right now (in case dozens of examples don’t remind youContinue reading “Working on an astrological post (about politics)”
