My vacation started off on Oahu, the busy throat chakra of the Hawaiian Islands. It is the Isle of my birth, and of course our President’s as well. My father presently lives here and has for the past fifty years, so I am getting some quality time and good conversations with him. This is beingContinue reading “Oahu, days one thru six”

Careful what we wish for
Kealakekua Bay, according to several friends living on the Big Island, is supposed to be a powerful location for manifesting one’s desires. These friends are in circles with alternative health practitioners and other consciously oriented individuals. But I still am a touch skeptical when I hear these proclamations. Because there are many sacred sites onContinue reading “Careful what we wish for”
Spalding House Honolulu
Yesterday my father, friend and I went to the Makiki Heights branch of the Honolulu Museum of Art – the Spalding House. It was quite a place.

InContinue reading “Spalding House Honolulu”
Anticipating vacay
8/23/12 The sun is setting on old patterns. I sit here listening to funny songs for Guru, a playful album made by students of Julie Henderson.

Hang drum recordings

Tibetan Medicine Symposium – contrasts between East and West
This post will actually be coming soon. (Sorry about the premature posting.) I typically give posts 5 – 7 days to brew as I make certain that all my ideas are well-organized, considered and articulated. This post violated that rule and did not fit all of these parameters, so I will refine it further andContinue reading “Tibetan Medicine Symposium – contrasts between East and West”
Tibetan Medicine and Meditation Symposium – Key Note Address
The Key Note Speech for the Symposium was given by Prof. Tenzin Robert Thurman. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now, I should add that I fancy myself to be an aspiring Buddhist practitioner, as well as an alternative health practitioner, so I was in agreement with almost everything he said. For someone else with differentContinue reading “Tibetan Medicine and Meditation Symposium – Key Note Address”
