Further thoughts on nursing

So I had a potent bodywork session with my friend and coach and teacher, Janet Evergreen. She assisted me in coming back into my body, my heart, kidneys, etc. Long story short, I feel clear that I was “right” in dropping 2 of my nursing classes – I was feeling way overwhelmed – but IContinue reading “Further thoughts on nursing”

Missing a dear friend

In this case, the “dear friend” is the challenging atmosphere that is nursing school. I am a bit sad. I did what a part of me felt it had to do: quit school at least for a few months. But there are other parts of me that are saying, “maybe you should have gotten moreContinue reading “Missing a dear friend”

Getting on out of it

I just withdrew from my nursing classes. All of them. And I am feeling a lot of varied emotions in response. I did not put a lot of thought into my decision, because there wasn’t much time to do so. I was writing essays for scholarships when I realized: I am like a delicate acupunctureContinue reading “Getting on out of it”

The wisdom of conducting both Wisdom and Compassion

I have observed my relationship to Tibetan Buddhism (and Buddhism in general) mostly wax over the past 9 to 13 years, with a little bit of waning. And in that time, I dove in deep and yet I am still understanding new realizations everyday. Because I dove in so deep, my current realization does notContinue reading “The wisdom of conducting both Wisdom and Compassion”

Astrological cycles

To update from my most recent post, which I believe was written when I had less than adequate sleep, after studying for a comprehensive (big) exam, I am more stabilized now, more embodied for that matter. I had noticed that I was starting to dissociate (my consciousness was starting to drift away from alignment withContinue reading “Astrological cycles”

December 2015

So I have begrudgingly stumbled into passing grades in nursing fundamentals, health assessment and sociology. My pursuit of a nursing license was almost derailed due to procrastination, but fortunately the massive comprehensive final exam was easier than expected. Of course, it does not help my situation that I am working full time. Apparently next semesterContinue reading “December 2015”

Powerful kindness takes many forms

As a child, I watched Sesame Street (and cartoons) and Mr. Rogers neighborhood. And as a child, I did not realize how special Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood of kindness actually was. After watching these two clips below, I found myself weeping. It takes a lot to make me cry, so maybe it was just time toContinue reading “Powerful kindness takes many forms”

Looking for hope about our planet’s future? Here’s a story worth sharing:

I heard a story on NPR today about the traditional Polynesian sailing vessel known as Hokulei’a (out of Hawai’i). I got the chance to see this large sailing canoe about 7 or 8 years ago in Hawai’i. It is impressive. What is more impressive is that some ambitious voyagers are taking the craft around theContinue reading “Looking for hope about our planet’s future? Here’s a story worth sharing:”

Been busy with nursing school, in January ready to do Astrology

Hello my fine readers, If you or anyone you know is interested, I am looking to do some astrology interpretations in Dec / January. I have been busy with nursing school which you can imagine is quite empirical and very scientifically dry. So I could use some creative intuition for a change and I amContinue reading “Been busy with nursing school, in January ready to do Astrology”

Assessing Zero Balancing Day 3

Wow! I have to say that writing the post soon after receiving a treatment is best. Because this way I will remember the key points I want to jot down 🙂 Also, I want to state for the record, that receiving 3 sessions of ZB is necessary – vital. Do it. Go. Now. Having receivedContinue reading “Assessing Zero Balancing Day 3”
