A disturbing trend in America

Among other areas of study – like astrology, Buddhism and emotional-process-oriented-bodywork – I also work in a restaurant to pay the bills. According to most people who pay attention to benefits that employees offer, they would say that my job is a great one. We have good health insurance, an HSA account, good 401K programContinue reading “A disturbing trend in America”

Many lives in one: synthesis

I had an interesting insight recently, on the bodywork table. I want to blend all of my lives into one. Allow me to explain. I seem to lead multiple lives. And somehow I mostly do it in a healthy manner. There are very few people in my circle of friends who know all that IContinue reading “Many lives in one: synthesis”

Brief post about planetary strength – spiritual Astrology

Hi all, A reader of my blog recently sent me an email wondering about aspects between Venus and Uranus, Venus and Neptune and Venus and Saturn. What do they all mean for them? As with most astrological questions, my first answer to this question has to be… “It depends.” Or “it is complicated.” What doesContinue reading “Brief post about planetary strength – spiritual Astrology”

Answering several ?’s re: the Dharma and Astrology

I have had several questions recently about which practices I do and how I manage to keep the Buddha-Dharma as my primary path and astrology / emotional-process-oriented bodywork as my secondary path. Mainly, I want to point out that there will be times in our lives when we have the causes and conditions in placeContinue reading “Answering several ?’s re: the Dharma and Astrology”

artwork December 2016

kirby_lion kirby_circles I did some assisted painting and coloring (most of the black lines were already on the canvas) recently. I think they both turned out pretty good. The art took me 30 – 40 hours per piece. I had soothing (Craig Pruess) mantras playing when I did the mandalas (circles) piece. Maybe it shows?Continue reading “artwork December 2016”

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? I don’t think I had any profound insights (but the more youContinue reading “further thoughts on winter retreat 2016”

Winter Retreat 2016

Every winter, my friend and mentor and bodywork teacher and coach, Janet Evergreen hosts a retreat for 10 days at her Sanctuary space. Last year, I was going through a tough stretch and I did not make it to much, if any of that retreat, which I would later regret. I say that because thisContinue reading “Winter Retreat 2016”

Asking for donations to keep this blog going

Hello my dear readers, I have been more active in blogging in days past, but I hope to continue to post juicy articles on Astrology, Emotional-process-oriented bodywork, Craniosacral therapy and the Buddha-Dharma. I am staying busy with nursing school, so perhaps there will be some posts from that genre as well. I am asking forContinue reading “Asking for donations to keep this blog going”

meditative art

I’ve been having fun painting over the past few months. Not that I am producing much of any quality. However, it has been fun to just play. Sometimes I do landscapes, sometimes more geometrical abstracts, I tried to do a face painting… it ended up looking like an evil Jesus… But it is fun. ItContinue reading “meditative art”

Inner thawing, outer cooling: more astrology in Nov 2016

I came back from a potent pre- and perinatal psychology retreat in early September. I went deep, was fully resourced in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. However, on returning, I think my usual tendency to expect my expanded capacity to remain the same kicked in. What I mean is that I needed to slowContinue reading “Inner thawing, outer cooling: more astrology in Nov 2016”
