On This Miraculous Planet, On Real Food, On Union with all that is
Can I blame this obsession, this grounding desire, this NEED on Frances Hodges Burnett? My grade school copy of The Secret Garden has faded highlights from, gasp, almost 40 years ago. The pages are now a collection of loosely connected chunks - barely held by the deteriorating spine glue.

“Might I,” quavered Mary, “might I have a bit of earth?…”
I learned the term polycrisis from the Strozzi Institute Body & Commitment one day intensive invitation (happening May 15th in Brooklyn, NYC if you can join). This time of polycrisis is “a convergence of ecological, social, and economic shifts that can feel overwhelming and unpredictable.”
The term polycrisis first arrived on the scene in 1999. A French theorist of complexity (what a tagline) Edgar Morin coined the word, “to describe the web of interconnected catastrophes threatening our world.” So, okay, polycrisis* - what to do about it.
I hope you have your own collection of tools - meditating, drumming, yelling circles, therapy, etc etc. I am offering this quick one from Rob Wergin’s May 5th Teachings and Healings from The Masters that really struck a cord with me. Direct, simple, and applicable for all the swirls of micro and macro doings.**
Read More“Happy New Year!”
“Has it been?”
Too many times this past week
To delve into that which one cannot control
To self-flagellate with ICE
Venezuela
Read MoreI walked into the bathroom for a reason. And that reason was a good reason. I was organizing my pills in the kitchen, did I come in here for a new bottle of something? Which bottle would that be?
I walk back to the kitchen and delve back into pill sorting, allocating, counting... Oh yes! I need more AlgaeCal Plus* - back I go.
As I walk I say the name of the supplement in my head. AlgaeCal Plus. AlgaeCal Plus. AlgaeCal Plus.
Read MoreDearest Beloveds,
The older I get the more it feels as though life is both a carousel and a huge onion being unpeeled.
We have the yearly carousel: holidays, birthdays, seasons. We plant seeds for winter greenery. Our bees swarm in June. Every year we split and stack and move firewood to burn in the woodstove.
We have the daily carousel. Once Baba said to me plaintively when he was in the throes of dementia, “I thought we just DID the dishes! We need to do them AGAIN?!”
“Yup Dad, every day… sometimes three times a day.”
“Oh.”
And we have the carousel of psychological and spiritual challenges.
Read MoreAs I have mentioned in the past, I am a big fan of when all of the fingers I am called to are pointing to the same moon. This spring Rob Wergin’s transmission shared this:
Read MoreLife itself can be challenging, and we keep carrying all of this luggage. All of these bags full of past habits and memories and things like that that are triggering us. Life goes in cycles and if we don’t clear these blockages they get bigger for the next cycle and the next cycle.
About 14 years ago I purchased a “grounding sheet” for us to use to connect to the frequency of the earth. We used it until the silver fibers fell apart from the cloth and then life moved on. At the time, there was one place I could find on the internet that sold such things - and I am sure it was listed on QuackWatch.
Now you can purchase grounding bedsheets on Amazon. There are many many choices. Some of the companies also want to sell you red lights and infrared saunas. In other words, it is rabbit hole. You can purchase grounding shoes - which might augment your grounding efforts if you cannot walk around for 10-15 minutes a day barefoot.
Read More“The dance party was really great. When is the next one?”
“When do you want to host one?”
Ahhhh, not quite what I meant. But I can’t pretend that doing something useful didn’t cross my mind. “I don’t think we are up for a dance party - but a garden party to honor what is happening in Uganda - that sounds like fun.”
Read MoreOne of the fun things about being an adult - I am “allowed” to write on my bedroom walls. Wall decor is entirely my choice. And any costs associated with repair, repainting, etc are for me to bear.
Last fall I was repeating to myself over and over certain prayers from Rob Wergin. So much so, I decided to record then on my bedroom walls.
The aim was to have a constant drip of attention/awareness on those thoughts.
Read MoreI started practicing Transcendental Meditation in 2007. Over the years I have more or less consistent in my twice a day practice depending on hospital doings and the age of my children.
When I received my mantra I also learned about the TM-Sidhi program. It is the pinnacle of a series of advanced TM techniques - culminating in the practitioners being able to do yogic flying. A whole group of Sidhas flying together has been proved to increase coherence for the society at large.* This coherence creating effect is called the Maharishi Effect.
So it is a two-fer. I get to replug myself daily, swim in the world of Pure Consciousness, and do yogic flying. Secondly, if I do my program with a group - we are creating peace for everyone around us.
Read MoreDearest Beloveds,
In so many ways is life both AND. Your Momma is a rebel AND she is scared by not following the rules - especially medical rules and expectations. Both And.
The first time I did not do what was expected of me from the Western Medical Model was when I choose to go to Mexico for treatment.* 15 years ago I spent weeks feeling nauseous and untethered about making the decision.
Read MoreHere is my rooftop shout for the world to hear my encomium* for the Mary Magdalene Revealed Retreat held by the glorious Meggan Watterson. Hear me full body shouting like I did the night I merged with God.
As I have mentioned before, it makes me super happy when all of the fingers I am exploring are pointing to the same moon. Though, as I write this, I realize it is true for everyone. We all seek out that which agrees with our beliefs and create self-reinforcing loops to make ourselves feel validated. My huge ballast on this finger pointing to The Good as inside of us, as opposed to external to us, is from my own experience (see the merging above). So I am going to speak from that place, as a Gnostic.**

My life vision is to love, be curious, identify my Cranky Monster, and be brave enough to speak from and for The Good.
