When confronted with Other, seek unity, equality, and compassion. When confronted with someone who is different than us, acknowledge and honor the differences and seek common ground. See the person in front of you, or across the globe, as an individual, not as their race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, or socioeconomic status.

An Incredible Amount of Solar Activity
We are experiencing especially unusual solar activity, possibly as part of our current paradigm shift. What that means and how to deal with it!

Solar Flares and Terrorism?
There was a big ol’ solar flare that, according to the scientists, missed the earth. All that really means is that it didn’t affect radio waves and satellites. It still affects us, although not as severely. It happened at 1:30 UTC 6/18, which means 8:30pm last night on the east coast. The terrorist enterest Emanuel…
Prayers for Charleston
In the wake of the horrific AME Massacre, yet another instance of domestic terrorism in the form of a hate crime, I urge you to stop giving energy to the hate-filled terrorist who shot up the church. Forget his name. Don’t read the stories about what a soft-spoken kid he was. Don’t post his picture,…
Wakey-wakey, lil Sun…
SpaceWeather informs me: NOAA forecasters have boosted the odds of an M-class flare today to 30%. The reasons are Sunspots AR2367 and AR2360, which are growing with unstable magnetic fields that harbor energy for M-class solar flares. At the moment, both active regions are crackling with low-level C-class flares. It may be just a matter of time before…
Moving Through Ego-Generated Resistance
The third chakra, which sits at the solar plexus, is the lower mental body. It is the seat of our individuation, whence logic and intelligence come, and the internalization of the polarity that exists out in the Universe. It is, for most westerners, our main operating system, so it’s pretty strong. That polarity, the push…

When Things Go Wrong They Can Still Be A Force For Good
I still need to write my wrap up from Pantheacon. This is more important right now. I first heard about this my my roommate at P-con, a woman who was deeply affected by the events in question. There were more posts than the ones I have included below, but these are the three that, for…
Epidemic of Sadness
I had a massive mood drop yesterday, and when I mentioned it to friends, it would appear that I was one of many. This leads me to believe that there’s something going on, beyond seasonal changes. The astrological forecast wasn’t leading me to think it was planetary. My next choice is always to check SpaceWeather…
Grief
If you’ve taken any of my classes, you may be familiar with the idea that different parts of the body correspond to specific processes we do through. Liver is anger, the neck is creativity, shoulders are the pressures we put on ourselves, low back pain can be emotions we don’t want to look at, and…
Self Knowledge & Stress
Self knowledge and self awareness go a long way towards preventing, or at least mitigating, stress. Knowing that you’re a social introvert, for instance, allows you the freedom of spending time with people, as long as you also create space for decompression and recharging your batteries, so to speak. Knowing that you are not a…
