Do Something

July 18, 2011

  “I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”  Helen Keller I can do something today.  I can add value, beauty, or goodness in some way [...]

A Horse, A Choice, and An Aspiration

May 3, 2011

“If you aspire to become an evolutionarily enlightened human being, your ability to do so depends upon accepting the simple fact that independent of external circumstances, you always have a measure of freedom to choose. That sounds like a simple statement, but it’s amazing how many intelligent people will deny it. When you look honestly [...]

Shadow Work

April 27, 2011

I want to do shadow work more intentionally and regularly.  It’s such important work. Certain people really bug me:  those who are arrogant, judgmental, angry, needy, and in denial.  Certain people really intrigue me:  those who are intelligent, passionate, empowered, creative, and confident. Dark shadow and golden shadow. When I have a huge reaction to [...]

Denying and Grasping

March 24, 2011

I’ve been eating out of control in the last week.  I have the munchies—I want to eat a lot, more than I’m comfortable eating.  This suggests that I am stuffing something or grasping something.  To be sure, I’m out of balance.  I wonder what’s up? I had a meeting the other day with someone who [...]

Now is the Time

February 22, 2011

What an emotional morning.  I awoke from a disturbing dream about my father and found that I had overslept.  It was time to get the horses out–now.  I rushed from bed, up to the barn, and put all the horses in the pasture–the dream was constant on my mind.  I returned to the house to [...]

It’s a Lifestyle

February 11, 2011

I often experience fear as worry and distraction—one friend mentioned procrastination.  Worry, distraction, and procrastination are ways I can distance from the deep-seated fear.  As long as I’m caught up with worry and distraction, I don’t have to face the fear directly.  I can side step it.  This can go on for days, months, and [...]

Why I Meditate

January 28, 2011

I tried taking up meditation years ago because I had heard of the benefits and my anxiety was out the top.  I simply couldn’t do it because my mind and body were too agitated.  I could rarely make it past a couple of minutes before crawling out of my skin.  What to do with this [...]

Dealing with Resistance

January 17, 2011

I’m out of sorts this morning.  Bad night.  Many interruptions.  Uncomfortable in my body and spirit.  There are a couple of areas in my life that need attention.  They are draining vital energy from me because of my resistance to dealing with them. Are the two areas needing attention related?  Of course they are—all is [...]

Spiritual Coaching

Be Authentic, be Awake, be Alive You are unique..  You  hear the sound of a different drummer but have some reticence in following it—maybe even shame. You are fed up with conventional wisdom. Mainstream consciousness is too constrictive.  Even the alternative options feel inauthentic and limiting. You yearn for change and realize that you must [...]

A Space for Transformation

August 31, 2010

I picked up the book, The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, awhile back.  I began to read it but simply couldn’t make my way through it.  While there were parts that resonated, I didn’t know how to let them in.  I knew it was an important book so I put it aside—for seven years.  [...]
