Healthy boundaries arise from the level of our instinct. They are our deeper wisdom's way of telling us what we need to do or say in order to preserve our well-being. As humans we spend a lot of time and resources creating and maintaining boundaries toward others and toward nature. We spend relatively little time and resources setting inner boundaries toward ourselves. It is the latter kind of boundary that hones our maturity - Continue Reading
3 Ground Rules for Moving Anger – #3
3. Don't hurt anything else. This is my personal value system. I know that everything is consciousness. If this fits for you, own this 3rd Rule. Nature is dying, quite literally, for us to release our pent up anger, pain and sorrow. As we do, She knows we'll be refreshed. Our Vision will be clear. Our Hearts will be open. We will awaken - as if from a long dream, a nightmare - and remember that we love each other - Continue Reading
Global Warming or Pollution? – Part 2
The signature of ‘development’ stands blatantly against the natural world. It is more challenging for us to see this – those of us who live in the ‘developed’ world – as it is what surrounds us now. And the photo gallery during the UN Earth Summit in Brazil – showing photographs of three generations of Brazilians who have been born and raised in a massive ‘dump’ that is so vast, it spans the horizon. This … is the Continue Reading
Global Warming or Pollution? – Part 1
My husband, Colin Hillstrom, has a very good point: As long as we are preoccupied with the ‘argument’ of whether global warming is human caused or part of an epic and ongoing cycle natural to nature … we miss the point. We miss the point that very real and massively consequential shifts are taking place as we breathe. Shifts that, if we do not heed their warning signals, could result in our species’ entire extinction – a Continue Reading
Bliss ‘Off the Grid’
It's been an amazing week living 'off the grid'. Our ancestors only knew 'off the grid' living - living unplugged from the electricity grid. They built fires, hauled water, and lived in natural daylight. Some people around the world still do - by necessity, and / or by choice - live in this intimate relationship with nature's cycles. At least once every year - and often more frequently - I take myself 'off the grid'. Continue Reading
Living a Yogic Life – Part 2
The second challenge for those of us yearning to live a more deeply meaningful, peaceful, ‘yogic’ life is this: ‘Free’ will (read more in my forthcoming book “The Ego and The Soul – A Map for Humanity’s Ultimate Survival”) allows us the option to align ourselves with what we want – or stray from it. Inherent in ‘free’ will is the deluded disguise that – because ‘I can do anything I want’, I am somehow not Continue Reading
Healthy Humans = Healthy Relationships – With Each Other, With Nature, With Self / Source
It is only when we are healthy that we can be the core – the center – of something else which is healthy. Our relationships cannot be healthy if we are not. Our relationships with Each Other cannot be healthy if we are not. Our relationship with Nature cannot be healthy if we are not. Our relationship with God, Source, All That Is cannot be healthy if we are not. What is Continue Reading
Communing with Elders
I will be communing with my elders - in the sacred vastness of the Rocky Mountains - until August 9. Joyously I will post more explorations, contemplations, inspirations + transformations then! In the meantime, there is such richness to explore in my Books and Audio Courses - including opportunities to read Free Previews and Hear Free Intros. H.O.P.E = Healing Ourselves and Planet Earth Birds' Eye View - A Travel Guide to the Continue Reading
