Previously I talked about my personal experience of how a trauma created digestive dis-ease in the form of IBS and food intolerances. Another common feature with fears around survival are that the body retains water. Its reasoning is that alone it is more difficult to find this life-sustaining resource and so it must hold on…

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…

As a child in wonder With a strong trunk Connected to the ground It makes a circle And grows in all directions It is full of life Creating quite a stir Even places that were broken Grow It looks at the world As a child In wonder It takes its space With grace It dances…

“Transformation requires one to change” – A statement my patients and students often hear. Releasing old beliefs and old emotional blueprint so that new levels of consciousness can be integrated, often involves a certain degree of temporary discomfort. There is a huge difference between temporary discomfort and feelings that one would regard “issues” that need…

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…

It’s no secret that many people read self-help books, attend workshops, go through various types of alternative therapies and perceive themselves as being “Conscious People”. However, with all their awareness, many of them feel very stuck and fail to actually apply their self-help skills in real life situations. There are many reasons for the gap…

I have been awake for a while. The color of the sky in the little corner of my window starts changing. I sit at the window seat and look toward the east, along the street that leads to the hospital. I see the lights of the emergency cars, big and blinding. I sense the energy…

Crazy times for me. Not everything is explainable, because reality falls apart. There is going up to a good mood and then an old habitual sadness/bitterness washes over me. Then again the mood turns, this time into wonder and then reality starts falling apart. That’s where I am, folks. Drawing one: The bird Was…

Like calligraphy As if it is a piece of writing About something intense That faded out About pain that is now breaking apart About new growth That had a hard time growing Because of the weight it carried About an old support That is now Only a shadow of itself About interactions That seem to…

Still waking up at night. At 2:30 AM I go to my studio. It still bothers me that I have pain, though it bothers much less than it did before. I know my question to Int.: What do I need to know? Here is the drawing. And the text: My pain is what remains after…

I learn from different people how to manifest. In order to manifest what you choose to manifest you need to have a good feeling associated with what you want, and you have to believe that it will happen and expect it. And more: you need to clear your subconscious from all the ideas that oppose…
