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?”

Clarity arising during bodywork

I am going to write about how clarity can arise during meditation.  And it can also arise when we are offering bodywork. Garchen Rinpoche is one of my heart teachers.  He is one of the few individuals on the planet who I honestly think, loves everyone and everything around him.  He is the embodiment ofContinue reading “Clarity arising during bodywork”

Pest control through generosity

I recently hosted a friend who is primarily a retreatant in India – as in he sits in a small room doing specific Buddhist practices day-in and day-out for about seven months a year.  He has been doing this for a number of years, which is inspiring in and of itself, but doing so requiresContinue reading “Pest control through generosity”

Embodiment and the Buddhadharma

This might be a little sacrilegious…  but I want to share these thoughts nonetheless.  I want to preface what I am going to say with the fact that I am, deep in my heart, a Buddhist practitioner.  I have a strong connection with Tibetan lamas from the Drikung Kagyu, Nyingma and Gelugpa lineages.  Also, IContinue reading “Embodiment and the Buddhadharma”
