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”

Assessing Zero Balancing, Day 2

I am writing this post 2 days after receiving my second full ZB session.  Go back and read my most recent post about Zero Balancing (ZB) if you haven’t already. I should point out that off and on for the past 5 years, I have been dealing with neck stiffness.  Sometimes I even experience torticollisContinue reading “Assessing Zero Balancing, Day 2”

Assessing Zero Balancing, Day 1

One of my colleagues in Charlottesville, Connie Staley, who is a fellow bodyworker (massage, Craniosacral therapy and Zero Balancing) heard about how busy I am with school and work, and she generously offered me 3 sessions of Zero Balancing for free.  In exchange I told her I would blog about my experience and if she wantsContinue reading “Assessing Zero Balancing, Day 1”
