what are you making your life out of

Let's start here:  Your best self you, the one you'll be when you finally have the time or the money or the energy to finally do You right:  What's she doing today? What would she be doing to be your best self?  Would she be lounging in bed, really enjoying the downtime?  Would she be up and on her way to the woods for a mucky hike because she loves the nature and the movement?  Would she be meeting friends for brunch because staying connected brings her peace, belonging, and joy?  Would she be taking time to talk to spirit? What's your best self you doing that you are currently not doing? There's always one thing you can do now to bring that best you alive today.  That's self-care.  That's magic potion living.  That's Oprah zone.  No matter what my clients think they are aiming for (ease, flow, magic, abundance, energy, true love, money, healing, time bending ability, etc) it all starts at this intersection:  what would best self you be doing, and what are you doing.  Few want to admit they are doing mediocre self you habits all of the time, and expecting best self you to just emerge from that bland, exhausting, uninspired way of living.  It can't happen.  Mediocre ingredients create mediocre results.  If you want best self results, you've got to give yourself something to work with. So what do you want out of this life right now? And what are you doing?  And what would best self you do instead? (ps phone sessions are available for april.  and i'm still by donation. message me to get started baking you right)

weirdness should be normalness because it's so commonplace

So I've been quiet; I'm normally quiet except for a stream of reposts and some quotes and some pics but nothing too personal, nothing private. I struggle with the idea that my private life is private, even private in relation to close friends and Daughter. This echoes back to childhood, when I was very small, trying to understand how this world I seem to be moving body in and through did not (and still kind of does not) match the landscape and the map I remembered. And still remember. I remember a me beyond me; I actually remember a few of these, in snippets and in whole stories, but the me I feel I am is having a second act, here in this life now. It's taken too many years to sort of bridge that awareness but I truly believe had I not been born Nipissing, specifically, it would have taken longer. From what I've been told, Nipissings were spacewalkers, able to see, be, and be seen through time, space (outer and inner), location, and in non-reality (s...

what story are you living from

There are times when an energy brews up inside of me and launches an action, from suggestion to execution, faster than I can pause and consider if it's actually an action I want to take.  These times are rare but they are startling, primarily because it's a flavor of energy I do my best to eliminate within me.  It's destructive and volatile, and when it does leap into movement, I can only watch suggestion and execution roll out of me, like a thunderclap.   It's in this watching position that I learn a lot about how far I've come, how much I've been able to use yoga and meditation to still myself into pieces, like frames in a movie. Outside of me, regular seconds occur; within, each second feels tripled, leading to lots of time to catch errant vibrations I don't want to release into my world, attitudes I might want to change before they're expressed.  Observing myself in finer and finer details, cause-effect, action-reaction -- this has given me t...

ask yourself the big question

Some of my clients (okay, a lot of my clients) struggle with fully comprehending the immensity of the self they are. "How are you doing?" is usually greeted with a mind-based response, or if the client considers themselves to be aware, they pause a little and respond, or list out grievances with personal annotations that make their grievances feel, to them, less like holding a victim-position, and more like self-conscious witnessing. When I ask, "How are you doing?" in a session, your "aura" expands with unprocessed, unwanted, unacknowledged subconscious data and I see this filter down into a response. I learned to look for this while working with an elder who did medicine work; he'd ask the question over and over to different people, and his gaze (and his being) widened to accept the subconscious data. He'd tell me to look, look at what they do, look at what he does; don't listen, don't try to figure anything out, just sit a...
