2020 Vision

Image
20/20 is a measure of 'normal' visual acuity.  It relates to  the ability to see,  the sense of seeing,  vision,  range of sight and  view.  But what is a 'normal' viewpoint in a world so heavily veiled? Which version of truth are we  really  seeing and, if hidden truths are revealed, can we stand strong enough in our own constitution to weather the wobble in perception or will we to continue to unquestioningly believe in Santa Clause, Jesus Christ and the righteousness of war?  The year ahead will surely test our own acuity, willingness and ability to see through illusions and misdirection as patriarchy continues to crumble and we take collective responsibility for our part in it all.  2020 knocked on my door around Oct/Nov and, sensing great change to come, I made a commitment to work with her. The first thing she did was to blindfold me - her attempt to disable my need to know and plan and to enable my already expansive...

Healing Hugs and Somatic Process

It's no secret that hugging supports our mental, emotional and physical well being. It is one of the easiest things to do and can also be one of the most difficult in these days of techno/infection isolation. I was chatting recently with a scientist friend of mine.

It isn’t about any intentional thought process, it is transcendent of the cognitive mind and requires only proximity, eye contact and silence to fully experience. In later years I would use this process when working with groups and the military suffering with PTSD whose greatest challen...

Corona, and when the Universe Sends you Lemons....

Hey Beautiful Souls - are you making lemonade yet? Interesting times huh and, capturing some insights from my waking steps, I thought I'd share what I have in case it helps in any way. I'll start with the potentially ludicrous notion that I'm seeing enormous gifts hidden within the madness which prevails both within us and without us. And an overriding thought that it isn't actually about what's happening in the world, it's ALL about how I'm meeting it and what is getting triggered in me. Do I play the hunger games or do I walk a new path, lit only by my own light? Last night I was bombarded with messages, like kite's anchoring into my soul and re-triggering the remnants of some old scarcity fears within me. I found myself entangled and immediately retreated to a healing space to transmute this archaic energy remnant within me. And here's the first gift - The Hermit The Hermit by Erike Miranda @ Deviant Art In Tarot, the Hermit is card...
