This is the apparent opposite of how we in our culture currently live. We cannot survive without the infrastructures of our society and the skills of countless other people. At the same time so many of us feel disenfranchised and purposeless. How can we remedy this? Begin to rediscover your survival skills: Learn how to garden, how to build a fire, how to create a natural shelter, how to collect fresh water, how to bury Continue Reading
It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way – Part 1
When I was a young child, I had many insights. I still do. One of my earliest insights arose from a deep, embodied discomfort with how the world is. Before I knew language to describe adult systems I knew that, "It doesn't have to be this way." One of my early childhood Visions / Knowings was this: We would experience complete global harmony if everyone contributed their gifts. And in exchange for everyone Continue Reading
Your ‘Predominant Pulse’ – Part 2
As we begin to give the seeds of our gifts, we discover more about them. We begin to recognize our true worth, which is amazing. It is only our wounds that have had us believe otherwise. This has been the illusion, the greatest 'loss' of all Time. As we begin to know our True Selves, we develop Self respect. This alone is worth living for – the experience of forgiving ourselves for the illusory Continue Reading
Your ‘Predominant Pulse’ – Part 1
One of my key observations is this: No matter how much someone wants something, and seems to train their attention on it, if their 'Predominant Pulse' is still one of wounding, this is what they will attract. It is only when we change the nature of our 'Predominant Pulse' to our true story – which is that we are inherently good, deserving and beautiful – that we can begin to attract, allow, and receive that which we most deeply Continue Reading
Who Am I? Why Am I Here?
These are the most definitive, valuable questions we can ever ask. When we are asking these questions, who are we asking? Who are we directing these questions to? If we have a question, and we don't know the answer, then obviously we are opening our self to access wisdom beyond our self. These questions connect us directly to our spirit. Who Am I? Who is Continue Reading
Our ‘Canopy’
What is our highest agenda, as humans? What is your highest agenda, personally? If we are wound-oriented, our highest agenda can and will only be survival. When we are Divine, True-Self-oriented, our highest agenda is the greatest good of all. When we are caught in the pull of our wound orientation, we naturally focus on the survival of 'me'. This has led, over time, Continue Reading
Re-Awakening Our Ability to Vision
It was after my participation in the United Nations Earth Summit that I realized that we have lost (temporarily) our ability to 'Vision'. Somewhere along the path of humanity's development, we lost our spiritual ability to see alternate realities. We lost our ability to perceive possible futures. Without our ability to Vision, we have lost our map. We are continuing along a flowing river wherever it takes us Continue Reading
Re-Sensitizing Our World
Our collective malaise is simply this: We are out of touch. Because we have numbed ourselves to our own inner wounds - in a valiant attempt to keep functioning, to 'survive' - we have simultaneously numbed ourselves to the world around us. When we are not alive in the 'Now', we are not noticing the ecological and human issues that impact us all: famine, disease, war, corruption, draught, pollution, global warming Continue Reading
‘What Tension Am I Holding That I Don’t Need?’ – Part 2
I’ve been asked numerous times over the thirty-five years I’ve been practicing daily Yoga if I would ‘teach’. (It’s a ‘cosmic joke’ that I’m apparently chronologically forty-nine. I feel perpetually like I’m twenty-eight, and sometimes like I’m fourteen!) For years I adamantly, though graciously, replied ‘No’. Yoga was my private, cherished companion. As a performing artist who was transparently visible onstage, it was my Continue Reading
‘What Tension Am I Holding That I Don’t Need?’ – Part 1
Here is another response to the request I’ve received from so many people to write a sequel to “Savasana – The Deepest Rest Around”. See also the recent post “Wander Time, Empty Time”. Enjoy! I began practicing Yoga daily when I was fourteen. I was introduced to it by an aunt who, at that time, would visit us a couple of times a year. As an observant, insightful teenager, I noticed that she would become very tense, agitated, Continue Reading
