Growing It: Attention, Encouragement, Action, Gratitude, Repeat
The quality you want to have more of, it is already there — right beside other things. Attention is love, in a real way. Therefore guide your attention toward the things you want to “grow” and enjoy more of. That will alter the proportions of everything that is present; at first in your mind, andContinue reading “Growing It: Attention, Encouragement, Action, Gratitude, Repeat”
“Gaia Is Always Open To Receive Reiki, Would You Agree?”
One of my reiki friends was sending reiki on Friday and asked in the reiki group: “The spot I picked at the stream was surrounded on all sides by tall mountains. As I closed my eyes, I felt my energies swirling and I envisioned it filling the canyon air. The winds were blowing and thenContinue reading ““Gaia Is Always Open To Receive Reiki, Would You Agree?””

Choose the Best And Let Go Of the Rest
As you clear out your wardrobe and only keep clothes that suit you, fit well, excite you, flatter you, and make you happy, you can clear out your schedule and keep only habits that suit you, fit you well, excite you, flatter you, and make you happy. The process is a bit longer, but veryContinue reading “Choose the Best And Let Go Of the Rest”
Encourage Beginners, and Praise the Advanced.
Do the opposite of what a culture does that raises anti-knowledge narcissists who expect a boost of support for showing up alone and not when they offer something remarkable — knowledge, their humane traits, an aptitude to serve the common good, a benign orientation. Narcissists operate by love bombing the newest target they try toContinue reading “Encourage Beginners, and Praise the Advanced.”
Venus In Cancer
~ from 7 August to early September 2020 ~ This is one of the better positions for Venus. Cancer is a homebody, so love (Venus) comes home and is with the family in this transit. It is a really good time to nurture yourself and notice how you have more to give when you feelContinue reading “Venus In Cancer”
Catchwords
The meal ticket in politics is “change”; in new age, it is “transformation” or “consciousness”. But the people who use hypnotic and gauzy words like that do not change or transform themselves, anyone or anything, they don’t shift their consciousness. Those who do do it subtly, persistently, and after their successes use specific language forContinue reading “Catchwords”
Heart, Mind and Body Are One
A lot of people – in new age and beyond – use the term “love” to make a point that that they can’t trust their brains. Is that necessary? No. Your brain is there to support you. Don’t make it your enemy. Or you will never be whole or at peace with yourself. You willContinue reading “Heart, Mind and Body Are One”
Right and Content With Self
Quality of life improves immensely when you do the things that make you feel right and content with yourself. I say “do”, because it is not an intellectual pursuit, a feeling, a revelation, or a mantra — it can not be fleeting and fictional like that — you do have to act on it.. andContinue reading “Right and Content With Self”

For All Seasons
Reiki teaches us to recognize our elders and spiritual teachers. For we are their continuation, and they live in us. The Divine Feminine reveals to us that life itself is the guru, both unendingly patient and unendingly productive, how to make an appealing home for the inner teacher, and how to shine in the powerContinue reading “For All Seasons”
Seasons of Growth
It is amazing: the shape and the colour of a bud and blossom indicate the shape and the colour of the fruit. The plant follows a blueprint that in all seasons of growth you can recognize an apple, a cherry, a pear, a rose. Look deeply, and you will see it, that blueprint. 🌸 CanContinue reading “Seasons of Growth”
Healers in the Plant World
Wild fruits or herbs with the most concentrated healing properties tend to grow in places where other plants do not manage to develop. The reason for that is not, as some have interpreted, that potent plants do “not depend on” a community, that they become rugged loners, or undemanding, low maintenance, “neglect lovers”; on theContinue reading “Healers in the Plant World”

Something To Look Forward To:
There comes a time when you have outgrown certain habits, distractions, dramas, and you can say it too in the matter-of-factly style that you would refuse a coffee when what you want, need, and can have, is water. Desire, need, and attainability certainly speed up the process of deliberately choosing what is right for you.Continue reading “Something To Look Forward To:”
Cessation of Conditioning
The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was born on this day in 1792, mentioned in one of his writings (I can’t refer to it now, I am pulling it from memory) that men go mad with desire for the rare, exotic, withholding, and those they can not figure out. That may be a fair statementContinue reading “Cessation of Conditioning”
Jog Your Brain Into New Territory
