*+-Advice post! (Part One is here) Venus, Mars, and Jupiter are in VIRGO, the sign of the Giver of Advices Summary: USE SOUND and scent to disperse, dispel negative energy or entity * Sometimes you do not even need to breathe out sorrow or grief. Sometimes you do not need to […]
*+-You build again — or you die. I’m not sure there are any other options. Well, I guess there is the waiting room. The waiting room is where, when, you decide which you will choose: build again or die. And the waiting room, well, you can sit in the waiting […]
*+-I want to start a prayer group. There is this healing center that I used to go to regularly for meditation class and one night a week there was this Prayers for Healing meditation that anyone could attend. There was a spiral notebook where you could write down names. I […]
*+-The cost of the class is $25 by PayPal. We start Monday, April 8th. It’s a 10 day class: Monday through Friday. Then take the weekend off. Then Monday through Friday again. Who is this class for: For anyone interested in beginning a meditation practice and/or for those whose discipline is […]
*+-One week Meditation Intensive! This class begin the last Sunday in February and focuses again on a basic foundational sitting practice but this time we will also work with Chakra soothing/clearing. This is not a “webinar.” It is a loosely structured, daily discussion-based, drop-in class although I may post […]
*+-An old college friend emailed me last night. He’s going to edit a new on-line poetry journal and once upon a time we were colleagues, poets together, undergraduate. He wants me to submit poems. I haven’t written a poem in years. Not since I started writing plays. When I was in school, […]
*+-Books should look like they’ve been read. I am happy on the train, on my way Uptown with my book and my iPod. Motorcycle helmet and iPad in bring-back bag. I shall bring it all back, and more, spoils from my journey. You’d think it was Gemini Season (books *and* […]
*+-Claustrophobia. The desire to flee. Then an even stronger desire to stop sitting and WRITE THINGS DOWN for fear that I’ll forget them later. That’s what happens at first when I sit down to meditate but it’s also this Aquarius/Gemini sky that we’re under. Restless sky. Perfect for witnessing how […]
*+-Today I went to a motorcycle show in the Big City and then went for a motorcycle ride (as a passenger). Only my second time on the bike, on any bike, ever. And she gave me some rules for the road which boiled down to, basically, this: I’m the driver […]
*+-And the further I got away from the Big City, the better I felt. I am not in love with NYC even though I live here. Even though a casual stroll through Grand Central Station, where I took the Metro North train, offers all manner of foodie delights, including a fresh […]
*+-Here’s a link to the original post about this class. And here is I was thinking this morning: That this class, this mere 2-week, simple class is a class in consciousness raising. Not in the political sense except it may be, it could be, a revolution inside you: raise awareness around […]
*+-When does class begin? January 21st and we’ll wrap things up 1st weekend in February. The cost is $25. Who is this class for? For anyone interested in beginning a Meditation Practice or for those whose discipline is wavering 🙂 Why meditate? You either already know or can Google the […]
*+-This is another subway story. I was on the train, heading to an errand and was reading a book called (and about) Meditation and Kabbalah by a traditional (i.e.. Orthodox) Jewish rabbi who has since passed on and oh how I love his books. Wonderful translations. Clear vision. Lately I’ve […]
*+-I could hear a child being beaten as I walked home tonight. The slightly cooler weather makes for open windows. At first I wasn’t sure if what I heard was what I heard. The sound of the child and what sounded like a whip. You know that sound. It was […]
*+-If I haven’t had the time or energy to meditate, when I finally do sit again, it’s like stepping into a warm pool. And today was an interesting meditation. It became a dialogue and I had my dry erase board in front of me so when thoughts came, I wrote […]
*+-Due to the class I’ve been holding in MoonPluto Land (my virtual classroom), I’ve been spending more time in meditation. I announce when I’m sitting and invite others to join me energetically. I especially like this, not just because it’s a powerful tool for reconciliation and healing but because many […]
*+-Today is Day 4 of my Seven-Day Cleanse. It was a busy day. Didn’t meditate yet but I will after I finish this post and eat something 🙂 And let me tell you, it’s working. The intention is working. Even when I wasn’t actively activating my designated image... I can […]
*+-I used to be religious. Strange to think about it now. Traditionally religious. That I used to dress in a certain way that was the community standard. I chose it though. No one forced me. I wear what I want and it usually never fits some typical female standard. I […]
*+-What I want you to do, if you are joining me on my 7 Day “releasing” ritual is come up with a central image, in your mind, that you will return to each day, in one form or another. You could be swimming. You could be washing the dishes. You […]
*+-Happiness is a practice, like meditation. You commit to it each day. Or every other day 😉 For example, lately I’ve been waking up sad. There have been some changes in my life, some empties, and I work to adjust my mood so that I don’t stay there. Like a […]
*+-I was chatting with a friend this morning who has been dealing with an acute, violent health problem. She seems to be on the mend but it could recur. And I think we’ve pinpointed that these episodes have been a product of Saturn in Libra and thus whatever Saturn in […]
*+-Is your work who you are? Funny, this morning I had another topic in mind to write about. I was going to write about how I got up this morning and meditated, first thing. Right after I made the bed. How I listened to the birds. So many birds and […]
X is a querent who came to me for a reading and what resulted from the reading was passion. Finding it. Where was it hiding? *** I primarily looked at some of her outer planet transits, the ones that spoke to me. Yup, on the angles or heading there. 1st […]
