The 9 sided meditation hut (the nonagon)

We taught meditation and Buddhist chanting in the nonagon. Plus Ken has wrapped copper wire around a lot of the rocks in the ground around the structure and he has the wire coming up into the middle of the nonagon. It is possible to meditate while holding the wire and there is a noticeable energyContinue reading “The 9 sided meditation hut (the nonagon)”

the environs of the PPN training were ideal

The setting for the summer intensive is quite idyllic. Peaceful, fog shrouded mornings, followed by mountain-breeze-filled, sunny afternoons, pleasant evenings with chilly nights. I will try to post pictures soon. For those of you who are reading my blog for the first time, I did training with Myrna Martin and there were 12 of usContinue reading “the environs of the PPN training were ideal”

Day 1, 2 at PPN intensive, Nelson, Canada

If readers are interested, I am going to be slowly going through my journal and detailing what we did each day. Of course some information about other people’s (participants) turns is confidential, I will just be describing my experience and my reactions and my thoughts on the process. Day 1 – Monday. We were aContinue reading “Day 1, 2 at PPN intensive, Nelson, Canada”

Land of the Goddess

The intensive, or pre- and perinatal (PPN) psychology retreat, was held on very potent and positively-charged land. Myrna Martin and Ken, her husband, have been farming fruits, berries and veggies on that land for more than 30 years and they have been hosting process workshops for the last 16 years. Myrna is a big proponentContinue reading “Land of the Goddess”

back in Virginia, many emotions

Now that I am back in Virginia, I am noticing many reactions to not being in a vast wilderness of long lakes, towering mountains, not-so-distant glaciers and amazing people (of British Columbia, Canada). I am reminded of one young man I met at the co-op in Nelson (BC) who said that he was there fromContinue reading “back in Virginia, many emotions”

a little insight arising after PPN retreat

I am back from Canada now. I have only been home and awake for a few hours. I will describe the workshop (intensive) more in depth in the coming days. But when I was walking our dog, I had a little insight. This may just be review for most of you, but I found itContinue reading “a little insight arising after PPN retreat”

I am heading to Canada in a week, for a special training in PPN psychology

I have been having second thoughts about my trip to the Northwest, to train in pre- and perinatal psychology and birth process work. It is going to be expensive (for me) as I fly to Spokane Washington, and then drive to Nelson Canada. I will have to pay a dog-sitter, parking at the airport, tuition,Continue reading “I am heading to Canada in a week, for a special training in PPN psychology”

Can gluten allergy be treated or cured?

Before today, I’m not sure what this answer would be. Some doctors might say “no, it cannot be cured.” After chatting with my acupuncturist however, and having him explain and then put in a semi-permanent acupuncture needle in my ear, I am thinking that my gluten sensitivity is already improving. Why? Michael Jabalee is aContinue reading “Can gluten allergy be treated or cured?”

Coming to terms with Pharmacology

If you are not aware, I am in nursing school, along with a number of other activities to keep me busy. As my blog title page mentions, this is a blog about health and wellness and astrology and the Buddha-Dharma. Well, I think I am trying to integrate myself into the mainstream side of wellnessContinue reading “Coming to terms with Pharmacology”
