___________ As you begin to access your anger constructively and with ease you will transform your life and those around you. You will tap into liberation - the key to enlightenment. ____________ We are only truly human as we allow our emotions to flow through us - uninterrupted - like elixirs cleansing us and delivering us into each new moment, 'Now'. A being who does not feel emotions is not a human. They are an Continue Reading
‘A New Anger Map’
Here is a simple guide map for empowering you through healthy anger … 1. Notice when you are feeling anger. 2. Ask yourself: "Which of the '3 Purposes of Anger' is this?" (Has a boundary been violated; is a boundary about to be breached; is my soul calling me to grow?) 3. Notice any tendency in you to direct this anger inward or aggressively outward. Get yourself into your Observer Continue Reading
The ‘Map of Emotions’ – #11 – Willingness
Willingness is the first sign of 'spring' - of the maturity of the human mind/ego. It is the transition from mind/ego driven living to soul guided living. As we enter the energy field of willingness, we are open to ease, to synchronicities, to flow. We are open to 'miracles'. As we become willing, there is little to 'do'. We are less driven and more inspired. We shift from mind domination to a trust that something greater than us is Continue Reading
The ‘Map of Emotions’ – #4 – Grief
Grief is the beginning of emotions washing through us to truly cleanse us. Grief occurs whenever we lose something - or something changes in our experience of it. There are five natural stages in grief, including disbelief, bargaining, sadness and anger. When we fully allow the course of grief to run through us, we arrive at acceptance. Acceptance is like a gate opening, encouraging and inviting us to move on. Many people get trapped Continue Reading
Where Your Anger Hides – Part Three
Take a moment to imagine a future situation in which anger arises in you - either 'provoked' by an outer circumstance, or simply because your soul is asking you - inviting you - to grow. Notice yourself making a more empowered choice - choosing to respond to the message of your anger and either create a boundary where it was breached, create a boundary before it is breached, or follow the fresh, new guidance of your soul. How do you Continue Reading
Subtle Energy Fields – Part 2
I – like thousands of people on this precious planet – am highly sensitive to subtle energy. My home is an extension of my energy field. And so whatever enters my home enters my energy field. How I came to this ‘aha’ realization was through two flashes from my past: 1) In the 1980’s, when I first began sharing homes with ‘strangers’ (house-mates), I became aware that I have a natural affinity for Feng Shui – the Continue Reading

Feng Shui in Our Spaces
Feng Shui is the art of sensing energy. Typically this art is applied in the creation of spaces – kind of like the art of highly sensitive interior (or exterior) design. It’s about the placement of specific objects, in specific places, in specific relationships to each other, to create a ‘flow’ – a harmonious swirl – of energy in that space. The result of this is prosperity, wellbeing, harmony, joy, upliftment, and more. Continue Reading
Cracking Open the Shell – Part 2
Is ‘fighting against’ the only way to access your true strength? Is it the most efficient one, the most powerful one, the most ultimately successful one? Or are there options? (There are. Look around. Not everyone fights against.) I’ll give you an example. In 1988, at the so-called ‘height’ of my dancing career (I was touring internationally with highly respected dance companies, and beginning to have high profile solos 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
