Invoke your innate intelligence. We have never had more immediate access to information. We can acquire certificates and degrees from the comfort of our own home. Opinions on most anything is available 24/7. Agenda and propaganda masquerade as news while dissenting voices are censored. Intelligence is the ability to acquire, filter, sort and apply information. There are many forms of intelligence: artificial, abstract, logical, emotional, social, creative, adaptive, self-aware, critical thinking, problem solving. Intelligence is not an agency. The proper place for human beings is between heaven and earth. Our birthright is heavenly connection and earthly incarnation. Our innate intelligence … Continue reading →
Develop true humility. How can we develop healthy humility? Passionate curiosity is a start. In the asking, we engage the other and the ego is checked. Service is a good middle. How does it feel when we volunteer our best hours of the week, donate our most valuable items or fund a heart felt cause? In the end, seek original origins. Humilis is the Latin root meaning low. By our own choice, consequence, or chance, true humility is often the outcome of experiencing great depth, deep troubles or profound sorrows. Water, the element of winter, teaches us how to … Continue reading →

What an easy way to make the world a better place. Metal is the element of autumn. Theme of the season is value, worth, letting go of that which no longer serves, honoring our grief, integrity, … Continue reading →
Shine on you crazy diamond! Allow your inner light to shine through as we move into days of diminishing daylight. Our moods may change with less light. Diamonds form from elemental carbon between 237,000 – 1.3 million times atmospheric pressure deep within the earth. Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe according to mass. This makes carbon rather ‘ordinary’. However the brilliance of the diamond is acquired from intense pressure to ordinary carbon. Like carbon, our extraordinary-ness is derived from our ordinary-ness plus stress. The practice of being present moment to moment helps us appreciate the extraordinary in … Continue reading →

Continue reading →Winter, according to the wisdom of the elements, is about dreaming, resting, relaxing, restoring, recharging and germinating seeds which will break through the thawing frozen ground of winter come spring when energy naturally moves upward and outward. Plans made and action taken in harmony with the greater cycles of the cosmos, are much more likely to come to fruition. Over the last few years, I have been observing, studying and syncing myself with the elemental cycles as practiced by the ancients. I often call it ‘re-wilding’ myself. I started with Seasonal Wellness classes in 2015. In 2019 I … Continue reading →
