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.

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”

Dharma injection

If you want to be inspired to do more Dharma practice, host a Tibetan lama or even just a humble retreatant for a few days. I was fortunate to do just this as I hosted a retreatant for a few days last week. He has spent time learning the Tibetan language and he has spentContinue reading “Dharma injection”

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”

Brief update, May 2017

Hello dear ones, I haven’t posted here for a while due to technical difficulties at home. (I am currently limited to an iPad at home which makes posting quite tedious.) However, if it were easy, I would have posted one or two pieces about astrology. I am getting back into doing more interpretations which IContinue reading “Brief update, May 2017”

Maturation of Buddhist / embodiment practices

So whether I want to or not… I have been asked to lead group meditations for a couple groups in the past week. I am reluctant for a number of reasons. And I am expressing my objections / resistance and moving forward with a one of the groups. A friend and teacher put my name forward as a potentialContinue reading “Maturation of Buddhist / embodiment practices”

An update on transitions, 2017

Hello to all my dear readers, seasoned and new! I have been slowly and delicately describing my transition from old self – feeling stuck in certain areas of life and not doing anything about it – to new self: making necessary changes and reforms with mindfulness and kindness to self. So to recap: I leftContinue reading “An update on transitions, 2017”

Consciousness and moving forward

I had a much better day today (than yesterday). This could be the effects to two (different modalities) bodywork treatments in two days. It could also be that I spent time with more good company today as well. The most fascinating aspect of today is this: I quit nursing school recently. A part of meContinue reading “Consciousness and moving forward”

Meeting a sublime being

It is my birthday today. 38 years old. Young. I went to look at an office space downtown (Charlottesville). Not knowing what to expect. I met someone who I think I will learn a lot from. No names, unless I get her permission, yet. She does shamanism and process-oriented psychotherapy, hypnotism but she is outsideContinue reading “Meeting a sublime being”
