Khenchen’s skillful means are immeasurably vast

I had the chance to spend close to 2 hours privately with Khenchen Konchog Gyaltsen during this recent retreat (and no, I did not twist his arm to have this happen). I was able to offer him something which I was so glad to do. He has given me the greatest gift which exists inContinue reading “Khenchen’s skillful means are immeasurably vast”

Good things are happening! Baby treatment, Lama treatment, reactions

So this has to be the most full spring retreat I have ever done. Possibly even more full than either of the Mani Drupchens I did up at TMC six years ago! Many good things are happening and I rejoice. I got to treat another baby that I met up here. He was induced soContinue reading “Good things are happening! Baby treatment, Lama treatment, reactions”

Baby initiation, gaining a head of steam

So I am about to write about the amazing week I am having… I should start out by setting the context from the past year. In a nut shell, I was locked into finishing nursing school in two years when I started developing some mysterious symptoms – arthritis, foggy headedness, nerve pain, etc. It eventuallyContinue reading “Baby initiation, gaining a head of steam”

Foggy Dharma, a muse

Driving up to the Tibetan Meditation Center on Memorial Day. Fortunately very little traffic, easy drive. Except for the fact that I worked late last night and now the mischievous little gremlin known as drowsiness is setting in, as I drive. Like trying to keep the squirrels away from my bird feeder, I pinch myself,Continue reading “Foggy Dharma, a muse”

treated my first baby on my own today

So I have been setting the intention to work with infants for a solid week. Not a lot of time. But already a precious baby manifested. A friend at work was shaking as she described her 3-week-old niece nearly suffocating on her own thick mucous – which she and the mother had to pump outContinue reading “treated my first baby on my own today”

lots going on: early summer 2016 update

To add to my last post about treating babies, yes I am still enthusiastic about giving more treatments over the coming months, whether to babies or not doesn’t matter. I would like to treat more babies but finding new mothers who are willing to trust a stranger is not going to be easy and IContinue reading “lots going on: early summer 2016 update”

Offering bodywork to babies

For some reason, I have been avoiding this topic in principle for years. That would be the topic of giving treatments to babies. I’m not sure why – perhaps because babies seem so fragile, or because I would not want to have the parents asking me all sorts of questions when my mind is inContinue reading “Offering bodywork to babies”

May 2016 update

I haven’t written in a while. So here goes nothing 🙂 I am primarily doing the following: working, resting, doing a little Dharma practice each day and attempting to take a nap most days. Not the most glamorous of schedules to be certain, but it is just what I need. I am presently taking severalContinue reading “May 2016 update”

What am I doing about Lyme’s (and neuralgia)?

So I saw the licensed acupuncturist, Michael Jabalee (Michael Jabalee’s website) who specializes in treating Lyme’s disease. He used a type of bioenergetic testing on me and determined that I have four major issues going on with my body: Lyme’s disease (fortunately without the associated co-infections), leaky gut (possibly in conjunction with Lyme, Herpes ZosterContinue reading “What am I doing about Lyme’s (and neuralgia)?”

Further thoughts on Lyme’s disease

I had the bull’s eye rash about 18 months ago, and then I took two weeks worth of antibiotics – doxycycline. Let me just say now, after doing some research, that two weeks is not enough. If I could go back, I would take at least 4 weeks worth. Minimum. I have a feeling thatContinue reading “Further thoughts on Lyme’s disease”
