At 4 AM once more, something tells me to go to the studio to draw. What comes out surprises me, as other drawings did. Even though many of the shapes I use in my drawings remind me of plants I usually do not draw flowers as the subject of the drawing. But here the shapes…

Summer is a great time to add a lot of fresh foods to the diet. Especially locally grown fruits and vegetables. Or maybe you grow some of your own fruits and veggies? It’s amazing how easy it can be to grow, even a few things, in small spaces. Strawberries or blackberries in pots on the…

I used to think that Reiki was a magical, mysterious energy that healed anything and everything. But I didn’t think about it properly. Yes, reiki does heal you. It is a very powerful, magical and mysterious energy. But you cannot expect it to simply cure all physical ailments, just like that. No, we must do…

It is 4 AM. My body trembles from soles to neck. All the nervous system trembles everywhere: In the heart, in the feet, in the stomach, in the neck. As if I am sitting in a truck while the strong engine is working. I had this happen before but this is stronger. I don’t know…

This was my UDIN (Unexpected trauma that was Dramatic, Isolating and for which I had No coping strategy – point 2 in the diagram below). Shortly after the announcement, Mum took us to her…

I just released a brand-new novel, and am the process of networking, doing the sales thing, and writing the other books in the series. Our…

In the last post we looked at how dis-ease is actually part of a wellbeing process. Now I’d like to give an example to illustrate how this works. When we experience a traumatic event – one that is Unexpected, Dramatic, Isolating and for which we have No coping strategy (a UDIN), the stress comes into…

Twice this night I came to this table, made drawings and went in with words. The nerves are now closer to the surface and burn all the time. Sometimes I can take it and sometimes I can’t. But even when I can’t, I take, because there is nothing that can be done. The salves that…
