I was guided recently to relax into another aspect of the Sacred Feminine...Allowing. This feels akin to "going with the flow", or the term "surrender" to me. And while I totally get the concept in some areas of my life, I find it challenging sometimes to do this as...
The shootings in Tucson have prompted yet another level of waking up in my consciousness. I watch how others respond…the people in my circle are mortified, appalled, even speechless at the violent act as well as the plan of protesters at the funeral of 9-year-old...
I’m currently experiencing the release of old body memory. I’ve gone through phases of this at different times in my life since I began recovery work from childhood sexual violence at age 23. Each time this happens, I am more awestruck by the healing process and the...
