September, and then October: Ancestors, Grief, and Stillness

I feel like we’re in wrap up and catch up energies currently. I’m sure part of it is the fact that we’re coming up on October, which is a grief month for me, so my own personal energy is more sluggish. Not to mention everything that’s going on in the world. You’ll remember, a few…

Money, Addiction, and the Concept of Enough – The Long Read

Money is a poor excuse for a God. Are you surprised by my assertion that we’ve made it into a god? What do people mean when they say “I’ve lost faith in the economy”? Why does the United States put “In God We Trust” on our money? Why do people (and the state) determine their,…

Shamanic thoughts on COVID-19

This next week I’m teaching a workshop on emotions and physical ailments, and I started looking at the COVID-19 outbreak and what it means from a shamanic perspective. Thought I would share. You are a spiritual being having a human experience. Everything is a hologram, generated by your inner processes. Physical ailments are clues to…

Getting what you want from Mercury Retrograde (part 1)

We are in the shadow of yet another Mercury Retrograde. Rather than rehash the same information again (you can get that here), I thought I’d talk about some of the possibilities. People always seem to focus on how Mercury gets in their way, and less on actually getting what the want from Mercury Retrograde. I…

When we don’t have a regular (read: daily) practice of some sort of mindfulness, we take the stories our mind tells us as fact. I wrote about this extensively at the end of October. There is phrase some people…
