Feng Shui is a must. In your home and principal place of work!

Around this time every year, it’s ‘Hungry Ghosts’ month. It is believed by Buddhists and Taoists that there are more than usual harmful spirits wandering among us. This can make the energy in our home and within ourselves very yin. Meaning, we may experience low energy, fatigue, and sickness may occur.

To help appease these spirits so they don’t cause much harm, burn incense daily, this is an offering to them. It is also good to sprinkle rock salt at your front door.

“I’m sorry for speaking to you in that harsh tone.”

“I’m sorry that I didn’t include you in that important decision.”

“I’m sorry that I didn’t stand up for you in front of my parents yesterday.”

When we (really) drop into the raw and visceral feeling of remorse, it can sometimes touch a place of vulnerability within us that feels too difficult to lean towards.

Making authentic repairs invites us to step into the specific experience of hurt that someone is going through.

In an ideal scenario, a successful repair invites us to look at a hurt experience objectively so that we can hold it and name it truthfully and courageously alongside the hurt party.

This can be a difficult task if we struggle with holding up our own self-esteem.

This can be difficult if we lean towards defensiveness and avoidance.

This can be a difficult if we were the source of blame within our family system.

Taking some time to recognize and name the specific defense or story that might be getting in the way of an apology can also sometimes be helpful.

It can give us time to work through the defense in a transparent and honest way (alongside the hurt party) so that we can come back towards making the repair.

We must be *extra* careful to not co-opt and take over the moment.

We must circle back and not use this as an opportunity to avoid and deflect.

“I’m feeling some shame come up for me as you just shared that. Phew. That’s heard to hear. Let me sit with that and take it in for a moment.”

“I’m feeling really defensive and I’m not sure why. I know what you’re saying is true. Give me a moment.”

“I like to think of myself as a good person and when you shared that, I felt really bad about myself. Let me pull myself together so I can come back to focusing on you.”

My hope is that these examples offer you a small window into what you might be experiencing when resistance is present in repair moments.

This research about the impacts of alcohol from just one exposure is eye opening, to say the least!

Knowledge is power, "When we know better, we can do better"

A research team from the University of Cologne and the Universities of Mannheim and Heidelberg has found that even the single administration of alcohol permanently alters the human brain. Researchers found that it alters the structure of synapses and the dynamics of mitochondria.

Puts a whole new perspective on rethink the drink!

A single dose of alcohol permanently alters the structure of synapses and the dynamics of mitochondria, researchers report.

Great viewpoint!

We often get distracted be many “shiny objects” rather than directing our focus to what we have right in front of us, or what we say we want to achieve.

This is true of relationships, family, career, business, health or life goals!

Focus! ❤️💗❤️

And healers today are bringing back this powerful and necessary energy.

"The 'medicine woman'
is one of the most forgotten
and suppressed female
archetypes in human history.

She is the wise woman,
the visionary, the seer,
the intuitive, the healer,
the sexual priestess,
and truth-holder.

She holds the gifts of
energy, healing, and
expanded consciousness.

She sees the past and future
and sees deep into the hearts
of others.

Her passion is to serve
and restore harmony,
balance and healing to
Humanity and the Earth.

She is the aspect of us that is
ready to return as part of a
greater Human Awakening.

In our pre-patriarchal past,
during arguable hundreds of
thousands of years,
the Medicine Woman occupied
an celebrated position in her
society.

She served her community in all
parts of the globe in myriad ways
as shaman, wise woman, midwife,
herbalist, oracle, priestess,
sacred dancer, seer, and queen."
