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”
Attended a humble Dharma teaching tonight
Lean into your Sangha. Especially if you feel safe there, if you have one or two good friends there (if not, work to establish some?). I have had a roller coaster of a past year – intense massage school experience (you can go back read about in January – April 2018 posts), intense amount ofContinue reading “Attended a humble Dharma teaching tonight”
Bodywork benefiting from blessings
The work I do with clients is, of course, confidential. However, today, a day back from visiting a hidden yogi and receiving a number of blessings – spiritual, energetic and informational – I knew some things about co-workers when I took their acupuncture-type pulses. A couple of things I had never heard myself say beforeContinue reading “Bodywork benefiting from blessings”
