Transcript of a significant SE session: Part Two

This is a continuation of a post from yesterday. You should definitely go back and read Part One so you know how we wound up here – how Maureen set up resources (the counter vortex to use SE parlance) and made sure I had enough resilience in my system before going to these deep places.Continue reading “Transcript of a significant SE session: Part Two”

Transcript of a significant SE session: Part One

Maureen Gallagher was my facilitator, I volunteered as the demo (session) and was very fortunate to be picked. We went deep. This was getting long so it will be split into two parts. The last part is the juiciest – I assure you! (Surprise surprise) Oh – so I did this demo in front ofContinue reading “Transcript of a significant SE session: Part One”

The past that needs some healing

Prepare yourself. Seriously, take some deep breaths, think of a place that you enjoy or a person who feels like a safe protector / friend / ally / support. Or think of an animal you love… Take your time. Notice what you feel in your body. Come back to this whenever you feel activated orContinue reading “The past that needs some healing”

Using the past to heal the present (yet healing the past?)

I just returned from a potent Somatic Experiencing training in Roanoke, Virginia. Acting on a hunch, I volunteered to be the demo person on Sunday (just yesterday even though time is doing weird things at the moment, read on you will understand). Well, it turns out that I was in for a whale of aContinue reading “Using the past to heal the present (yet healing the past?)”

Yin Yoga – several hours of non-conceptual abiding

Wow! Just wow! So I did Yin Yoga for a long (75 minute) session today and the effects were pretty stunning. Did it with a friend, so just the two of us. Pretty special actually in that – couples Yin Yoga (!) We did a set that focused on the kidneys and bladder. Although itContinue reading “Yin Yoga – several hours of non-conceptual abiding”

May have discovered a modality that unites what I know!

Hey Astrodharma readers! I recently was introduced to a form of yoga (similar to Yin Yoga) that focuses on tonifying the acupuncture meridians. It was pretty awesome – at least the five or six poses we did. Discovered that each pose is paired with a meridian and I could (additionally to what the book described)Continue reading “May have discovered a modality that unites what I know!”

Beginning a new Chapter

I recently gave a Spiritual Astrology interpretation where I began (intuitively, extemporaneously) to blend Chinese Medicine information with Western Medical Astrology and some Somatic Experiencing type trauma resolution / Polyvagal system wisdom… It was pretty awesome to be able to see various patterns emerging out of the mists of the karmic holographic Astrological Horoscope! NowContinue reading “Beginning a new Chapter”

Roller coaster of a Valentine’s & benefits of doing Tsok offerings

First, yesterday was a bit of a roller coaster for me. It is challenging being alone on Valentine’s Day and seeing all the lovey-dovey pictures on Facebook. With that said, I went to a strenuous Pilates class that worked me. I left feeling curmudgeonly yet good – like I had worked through something big. ThenContinue reading “Roller coaster of a Valentine’s & benefits of doing Tsok offerings”
