PPN intensive workshop in Nelson BC

I just attended an incredible workshop in the Kootenays.  This intensive was led by Myrna Martin and it focused on double binds, chemical and surgical birth imprints. It was a small group so we really got to know each other well and I believe the intimacy assisted us to go deeper into the material.  TheContinue reading “PPN intensive workshop in Nelson BC”

a meditation group has begun

I recently started a meditation group in Charlottesville.  So far, we have done Khenchen Rinpoche, Konchog Gyaltsen’s practice of Om Ah Hung.  There is a nice melody I attempt to follow as we do the practice.  I also give a brief Dharma talk about setting proper motivation (Bodhicitta, altruistic mind) etc.  In explaining the practice,Continue reading “a meditation group has begun”

Beginning of an interesting two months!

As if this summer could not get any more interesting… (oh – I have not had the chance to blog about my time giving almost a dozen sessions at a yoga retreat in Clifton Forge, Virginia, will do that next). Last month, very interesting time discussing the Autonomic Nervous System, Birth Trauma and Trauma ResolutionContinue reading “Beginning of an interesting two months!”

An extraordinary cure for Lyme’s disease

I am writing this post, basically passing along a story I heard.  I have not tried this yet, so don’t know if it actually works.  However, I am thinking about getting my paints out and doing some artwork.  Maybe I will also do a few pieces along these lines. A friend sent me a storyContinue reading “An extraordinary cure for Lyme’s disease”

finally feeling better after Lyme’s borreliosis

This is a post about my recovery from Lyme’s disease.  If you are a regular visitor, you may have read a previous post describing my struggle with Lyme’s disease (borrelia burgdorferi). I am now realizing that I have probably been infected with some sort of tick-borne issue for longer than I thought.  I say thisContinue reading “finally feeling better after Lyme’s borreliosis”

visiting Pittsburgh, time with Tibetan Lamas

I just recently got back from a trip to Pittsburgh, PA.  It is closer to Charlottesville than I was thinking, so I will try to head up there once a year if it is easy. On Saturday there was an empowerment by H.E. Tritsab Rinpoche (Chenrezig).  That day was a lot of driving, so IContinue reading “visiting Pittsburgh, time with Tibetan Lamas”

Is a birth imprint our karma?

I had an interesting experience in a bodywork class recently.  I help to assist with teaching various bodywork classes – Craniosacral Therapy, Working with the Vagus [nerve] system, Zapchen Somatics.  And occasionally, something comes up which I have not considered or heard before.  Usually the topics are subjects or situations I have heard of previously. Continue reading “Is a birth imprint our karma?”
