Partnership and Partners, Finding Boundaries and Respect

I was just following another blog post that was about how people receive advice from their partners.. and how well that works out…. what an awesome and interesting topic to delve into.. As a spiritual-medicine person, I think my way of addressing the topic is a little different than most “coaches” … and that’s great!…

Higher Vibrations and Healers Need the Lower Chakras MORE

I was out grazing my goats… a neighbor is very generous in saying it’s fine for the goats to graze in his open field. The dual benefit-drawback.. is that I need to stay somewhat in attendance while they are grazing. I can usually work a horse or teach a riding lesson, and keep them in…

What is Spirituality?

Spiritual and spirituality, spiritual but not religious…. Buzz terms that are all over these days.  But spirituality is one of those vague terms, like the term healing– which I will address in another posting topic– a vague term, in that there doesn’t seem to be a real tangible definition… but many people use the term…

Holistic Approaches to Mental Illness and Finding Empowerment

There are so many contributing factors to how we feel, and how well we function, both emotionally and mentally– including the physical.

Who are most Business Gurus and Coaches REALLY Trying to Help?

The great thing about amino acids is that they are the fundamental building blocks of our body and its needs. And, they are hugely beneficial, while posing the least and nominal “risks.” What is an amino acid, anyway? They are organic compounds……

Treating the Many Levels of Depression

Again on the discussion threads of LinkedIn.  Great food for thought originates from topics there. Someone asked about treating depression naturally. There were several responses from practitioners touting whatever approach they were employing. Exercise is beneficial, hypnotherapy can work to elevate serotonin levels in the brain.  Meditation can be helpful.  While all of these things…

A Primer for Shamanic Journey Work

“There are more things in heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” — Hamlet, William Shakespeare These words are equally true today as they were when Shakespeare put them on paper. Quantum physics is beginning to demonstrate that the shaman’s have known exactly what they were doing and talking about, thousands…

Power, Balance and Walking the Sacred Path

Fear is a great tool for manipulating individuals and groups into desired behaviour.  In schools, kids are teased, harassed or bullied into conformity, or as a punishment for not conforming to a social norm. This is a way of stealing someone’s vital essence, killing their inner fire, and stealing or damping that sacred spark of…

How Do You Talk To God?

How to communicate with God?  Well, that’s a good refresher question.  One thing I really like about the linked in discussions, is that it tends to bring my focus back to some fundamental concepts: either reminders or refreshers or new perspectives:) Having studied with the indigenous teachers- mostly Peru- my teachers were somewhat non-denominational.  Granted,…
