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”

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”

progress in the Dharma

I have titled this post “progress in the Dharma.”  I want to be clear about what I mean by that (and describe what this post will be about).  It is not supposed to be a catchy title to hook readers.  Rather, I am making progress in my heart and it is showing up when IContinue reading “progress in the Dharma”

a horary astrological quandary

Recently, as in over the past 6 months or so, I have been having difficulty staying motivated in my current job.  There are aspects of my job that involve gross mismanagement and frankly I am getting bored.  I work in a restaurant and serving people dinner night after night after night is starting to becomeContinue reading “a horary astrological quandary”

Back in the school groove, issues with Pharmacology

I realize you might have been expecting a follow up to the Khenchen quotes from last post.  However, I have a test in Pharmacology this week and I am stressing a little.  Plus I am having issues with the rigid theories that the Pharmacology book / professor seems to be professing.  I am hoping sheContinue reading “Back in the school groove, issues with Pharmacology”
