When we - individually and collectively - learn and practice the '3rd Way of Expressing Anger Constructively', there is no longer a danger of destruction in the face of our anger. In fact, our anger becomes purely constructive. It dismantles that which is obstructive to well-being. And in its former place it creates something refreshing and new. We might aptly call this 'de-constructive' - dismantling that which is untrue, that which is Continue Reading
Healing Ourselves – Healing Our Planet – Part One
Our pure anger energy has the power to blast us out of perpetual suffering and into a new realm of what it means to be human. Our anger - just like a rocket being propelled out of the earth's atmosphere into 'space' and ultimately into the magnetic field of another planet or the moon - is the power to propel us there. Without access to our anger, we are all but doomed. For no other human or non-human energy - beyond the purity of LOVE Continue Reading
The ‘Map of Emotions’ – #12 – Acceptance
Acceptance is the end of suffering. It is the final stage in grieving. It is the readiness to move on. When we are in acceptance we are out of control - out of our attempt to dominate our own outcome. The energy field of acceptance - just like all of the human emotions on this 'map' - is far more vast than the word suggests. When we are in acceptance, we are in a state of trust. We are in a state of willingness to participate and do Continue Reading

3 Ways to Express Anger – #2
2. They (we) turn it outward - violently. We allow it to spin out of control. We lash out with it, so ashamed that we are feeling it that we double and triple it in proportion to itself. We fight, we fight with words, we undermine, we cut, we shoot, we steal, we rape, we … These 2 Ways to Express Anger are rife because we, as humanity, haven't evolved to recognize and practice the third. Now it's time. We are capable. Continue Reading
Why Courage? – Part One
A number of years ago I had an insight that I will play a part in mapping humanity’s journey out of fear. When this insight occurred, it took me by surprise. What did it mean? How would this unfold? And … why me? Many years have passed, and clues to this have been popping into my awareness. ‘Why me?’ Because I am willing. ‘Why me?’ Because I am strong. ‘Why me?’ Because I care. I care so much about humanity’s evolution out of darkness – pain, Continue Reading

Leaders and Followers – Part 1
It was as I was flying home from the UN Earth Summit – twenty-eight hours in flight – that I received this, amongst many, insights: Most people are followers; few are leaders. This revelation dawned in my awareness – not as criticism, rather as a necessary fact to be recognized, should I wish to truly participate in affecting any real and long-lasting, beneficial change. The minority are leaders. What does this 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
The First Wound
There never needed to be a first wound. If we had the skills, and the consciousness tools, and the support to stay present with our experience, in the moments that it was occurring, there would never have been a first wound. The reality to this day has been that children have been born into a world of adults who have not healed their wounds – adults who are not conscious of healing, the path of healing, the benefits Continue Reading
