I want to write a post about how lucky I am to be one of my bodywork teacher’s senior students. Her name is Janet Evergreen. She is in her 60’s now, and she just, in a recent class, made a comment about starting to slow down how often she teaches her classes. This and herContinue reading “I have been so very fortunate, advanced process-oriented bodywork”

October update, thoughts after a rich Canadian journey
This is some of the wisdom I gleaned from my time in Canada, where I spent 2-weeks at a birth process work intensive workshop. Then I taught a 3-day workshop on Salt Spring Island on working with babies (primarily from a Craniosacral perspective, but we definitely included a lot of Polyvagal tracking of the autonomicContinue reading “October update, thoughts after a rich Canadian journey”
Yoga Retreat in beautiful Clifton Forge, VA

Clarity arising during bodywork
I am going to write about how clarity can arise during meditation. And it can also arise when we are offering bodywork. Garchen Rinpoche is one of my heart teachers. He is one of the few individuals on the planet who I honestly think, loves everyone and everything around him. He is the embodiment ofContinue reading “Clarity arising during bodywork”
Asking for donations to keep this blog going
Hello my dear readers, I have been more active in blogging in days past, but I hope to continue to post juicy articles on Astrology, Emotional-process-oriented bodywork, Craniosacral therapy and the Buddha-Dharma. I am staying busy with nursing school, so perhaps there will be some posts from that genre as well. I am asking forContinue reading “Asking for donations to keep this blog going”

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”
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”
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”
Process Buddhism in action (potent bodywork)
If you are curious about what Process Buddhism is, then please go back to previous posts from December of 2008. I attempt to describe this complex topic there. Process Buddhism has elements from psychotherapy, Buddha-Dharma (Vajrayana), bodywork and trauma resolution among other potent, efficacious modalities. Over the past few months, I had been suffering fromContinue reading “Process Buddhism in action (potent bodywork)”
