Lifting to the Next Best You

From Being and Vibration – Joseph Rael “When a new idea calls our attention to its reality, what is going on is that the energy wants to lift us.  It starts to lift us from where we were at to a higher place where we can become what we are going to become next.  That is the very nature of one of the mysteries of vibration. What is interesting about this lifting energy is that Read more…

At times it may seem almost impossible to overcome our own self limiting beliefs!  Especially if we’ve suffered sexual or other abuse earlier in our lives, but we can get good at recognizing when our own self limiting beliefs hold us back because there is just a certain feeling there that is well known by this point. Maybe you’ve already overcome lots of obstacles and find yourself in a pretty damn good place in your Read more…

Tenderness, Fear and Doubt

More and more as I contemplate my work on the land here in Tucson and in the Peace Sound Chamber I realize what a profound resource I have in the Peace Chamber.  The Chamber called me and I changed my whole life to answer that call……she continues to call me. Yesterday a friend and I were talking about my work and about the Chamber and he used the analogy of a baby. When we look Read more…

Yes or No

Years ago, whenever I had to make a decision no matter how big or small I would seek the council of my friends and sometimes family.  I wanted to know what everyone thought about my direction or idea.  After carefully gathering everyone’s opinions I would then consider and sift through them so I could make a decision. Recently though I’ve come to see there is really an easier way, I go inside and ask God/Great Read more…

From Grandmothers Council the World

“Women united in close circle can awaken the wisdom in each other’s hearts.  If in addition we learn to surrender to the ancestors’ guidance, we will learn about our mission together.  As the bringers of life, the Grandmothers say, we have no choice but to join together and raise our voices for humanity and for our Mother Earth, for the sake of the next seven generations to come.” Are you a part of a women’s Read more…

Bereft

How do we cope with the feeling of being cut off, of not having roots or healing old ancestral wounds?  I am feeling that deeply today, and just noticing how it makes me feel to consider all the harm that has been done in the oppression of all Native peoples.  How deeply that wound affects all of us, even if we think we didn’t have anything to do with it…..it is part of our consciousness.

Catching the Good

“To improve the golden moment of opportunity, and catch the good that is within our reach, is the great art of life.” – Samuel Johnson There are so many things you can do today to increase your satisfaction with your life.  Big changes start with small ones…….you could take a walk, sit and listen to the wind or the sound of the birds.  You might try something new or listen to good music.  These are Read more…

The Magic of Change

Can you feel it? The changes that are happening right now are hard to quantify and yet even if it is hard to put words to those feelings we sill know “something” is going on. The big question is can we take a moment or maybe even two to pause, to allow, and to reflect on what we are feeling?  If we truly do slow down and pause we give Great Spirit time to whisper Read more…

Welcome to Sweetwater

In my many years of working on my own healing I’ve discovered a few things.  Trauma gets lodged in our cellular memory and is not easily healed through conventional means like psychotherapy.  I’ve had awakenings and “aha” moments.  Yet, even with that intellectual understanding, I didn’t find more joy, ease or change in emotional patterns.  I was still repeating situations I was convinced I had “gotten”. I became frustrated and started to look for other Read more…
