further thoughts on winter retreat 2016

If you have not read my previous post (yet) I would recommend doing that as this is a continuation of that thread. One of the questions or recollections to ponder after doing the 8 Jhanas practice is, what insights arose?  What were they?

Post PPN training: Mercury Retrograde, expanded mind, realistic capacity

As my readers may know, I recently returned from an edifying and serene and resourcing trip to Canada – British Columbia – where I learned more about pre- and perinatal psychology and birth process work. During that training, my heart expanded along with my perceived capacity to get stuff done when I came back intoContinue reading “Post PPN training: Mercury Retrograde, expanded mind, realistic capacity”

treated a baby (and Mom) who was born via C-section today

I have permission from my friend to share a little about her experience today.  No names so her identity will remain anonymous.  [And by the way, I am not a doctor.  I do not claim to be able to treat, diagnose, prevent or cure any disease or conditions!  If you have medical questions, you shouldContinue reading “treated a baby (and Mom) who was born via C-section today”
