When life gets too be a bit much for our nervous systems, nature offers a free and easy cure: just visit and be! She'll boost our immune systems, calm our heart rates, and lift our spirits by distracting us into ponderings about the beauty that embraces us and away from same old thoughts about life's challenges.

Always There

Beauty is still everywhere I look.

I can take a walk or read a good book,
Call a friend, my mom, or cuddle my cat inside my elbows.

My mind can go to and fro, thrash around or let go.

Whatever I say and wherever I am, beauty is still everywhere I look.

Whether I look inside or all around, if I look way up or hang my head down,

I cannot deny in my heart or the sky, I cannot miss on the ground or in your eyes,

Beauty….is still….everywhere I look.

I am part of a group called and we are all making today to support a smooth and peaceful election that has the higher good of this planet at heart - at least from the United States’ contribution. You too can gather mindfully and create beauty today to add some love into what is typically a stressor. and please, because we are whole and complex people.

Beauty beauty dancing down, who knew letting go could be filled with such delight. Each dance unique, light breeze or gales, each one of us must let go. May you shine your brightest and captivate each witness with the grace and fire in your soul. ~ Becky Robbins

I am working on a program for spiritual identity and personal empowerment. The content is based on Angeles Arrien's The Four-fold Way, along with EcoTherapy, earth-based spirituality (such as the wheel of the year and shamanic practices), expressive arts, and Jungian Psychology. It's such a delicious mix.

Tonight, as I was working on the curriculum, a song came on my background music that made me want to get up and move, dance, flow, and explore physically. As I did this, I could feel the energies clarifying through my movement expressions - through and within my body, connecting to my thoughts and understanding of it all. I was making sense, from the inside out, and then I wanted to draw a tarot card or two and see what came. I typically do this in reverse, but this time I was simply flowing with what arose.

As I sent to the deck that came to mind, it was next to another, the first was earth and animal based, the other had people in it. I knew I wanted one with people this time, so I opted with the other, new, not familiar to me deck. The card I chose and then the second card I decided to choose from the animal-earth deck were just so powerful. One informed the other and vice-versa. Had I not pulled the second, I would not have had the understanding I did.

The cards in order, including deck name, are as follows:

1) The Charioteer XIII "Holding Course" (We'Moon Tarot)
2) 9 of Horns - Fulfillment (The Brady Tarot)

The first was a new version of the traditional image for me. No reins, no battle, just sailing with all of the elements working with or against her and connecting through it all with them. She is in charge - not of the elements but of herself - her SELF. Even if I feel like I'm doing the "one step forward and two steps back" now and then, my perseverance, steadfastness, and commitment will help me "stay the course". ...but wait, there's more....

After exploring the 9 of Horns in context of Holding Course, it dawned on me that the fulfillment of a long, very effortful journey (my life, all I've learned, answering the call of becoming a counselor, completing grad school, continuing through hard times and good...) has come. I am at the end of one phase and at the beginning of the next with all of my efforts fulfilled, my cups are full, and I am staying the "course" so I can teach the course (birth and lead the program). HOLY COW.

I continue getting my mind blown by these powerful insights and discoveries. It is quite rewarding to pay attention to those little nudges and quiet voices inviting me in. I so love that I'm always enjoying what I research and practice - whether it is just for me or to share my discoveries and gifts with the world through teaching and guiding and counseling.

Ya know what the best parts of being a helper/counselor are? For me, they include:

* Having myriad ways to approach issues, it keeps me engaged in creative solutions and also being present all the time

* Seeing the joy and relief and such that comes from new perspectives, awareness, and achievements clients get

* The beauty of seeing how others think and feel and are affected by so many part of life and different people, and how this changes me continually into an even more reflective and "better" human.
