PELE IS MOVING ENERGY (Mauna Loa volcano is erupting!)
When people ask me what I love about living in Hawaii, I usually say: the tropical weather, the ocean, and the connection to the land. Hawaiian culture, as a whole, regards the relationship between land, creatures, humans as sacred and interconnected, and this fact is as palpable and all-encompassing here as the salty island air. So when Mother Earth sends up lava from deep within, rest assured *something* is happening. Especially for those who feel this interconnection with the land, or...
THE TRUTH TAKES NO SIDES
"There are two sides to every story" is a popular phrase, but it easily diminishes, or makes fuzzy logic from, our Inner Knowing. The fact is: Truth doesn't take sides, or have a side at all. It simply is. Like a circle, or the Sun, there are no edges, or sides, to the Truth. Others may attempt to convince you otherwise, so they can stay in their story. You may even tell yourself: How can I insist that I am Right? Perhaps I'm being arrogant? (when, actually, they are the one who is being...
Feel Good Over the Holidays
If I've one best practice about how to best feel good (I've so many, it's hard to narrow down) over the holidays, it is: Only do what YOU WANT to do. I know, easier said than done, but as with most habits, it gets easier the more you do it. Why is this my number one strategy for feeling good at the holidays - and, frankly, life? When we compromise our Self -and by this I mean override our needs, wants and desires- we make our self really vulnerable. Vulnerable to illness, stress, picking up...
SCORPIO THROUGH THE HOUSES: YOU ARE RESOURCEFUL
Sometimes astrology is fun and useful; other times, because it names so many potentials (and not all of them good) I find it stimulates fear and foreboding. Today, because I have always deeply enjoyed this rich time of year, I wanted to bring LIGHT to the way this sign of Scorpio serves us all. First, this recent solar eclipse sheds light on your deepest resources, and delivers empowerment (even through loss, change, transition), especially when you take a particular approach to what is...
The Meaning You Give Things
When I went to take a vitamin and cut my finger on the aluminum wrap, I asked myself: hmmm...Why? It was actually quite hilarious how quickly I tried to assign this simple accident meaning. Apparently, it is that hard-wired into my subconscious; I'm sure being an astrologer, a person who can read symbolic meaning into everything, helps/doesn't help in this. I am oriented toward interpreting things, giving them meaning. Especially physical symptoms. I think this is in part a hangover...
What Does It Mean to Be Energy Sensitive (or an Empath)?
It's a question I've thought about how to answer, for some time now. It's kind of like, If you know you know. The truth is, though, for a long while I was a card carrying member of this club, yet I didn't know this club even existed - so I really didn't know, you know? (yes, I was about to reach for a Fight Club quote, or did I just?). Also, and anyhow, I think it's important to tease out what it means to be energy sensitive because a) we are ALL energy sensitive to varying degrees and b)...
Navigating the YES
Today, while teaching my Intuitive Energy class, I relayed this slice of life about what has been going on for me these past three weeks (Mercury's RX cycle). Afterwards, a cohort said it was a great story illuminating how Intuition works. So, I thought I'd share the story -with you! The story begins... several years ago. I was on a call with a hotel chain we patronize and afterwards I was asked if I would be willing to take a survey for 1000 points for a vacation property pitch stay (John...
HOW TO AVOID DEATH BY A MILLION PAPERCUTS
I choose where to place my Awareness, what's worthy of my precious presence is determined only by me when the fire alarm du jour rings; when another inconvenience and discomfort threatens my peace, Again I ask myself: Do I want to suffer death from a million tiny papercuts? ...little annoyingly uncomfortable things that for some reason, just. keep. coming.? (and does any of this really matter to me? Truly?) I decide. to re-anchor my Awareness into the ground, the soft, cool grass to...
VIRGO SEASON: UTILIZE YOUR DEDICATION AND INTENTIONALITY
It’s VIRGO season; a very busy time of year when many are doing more of…just about everything... and we are also keenly interested in learning, improving our lives and changing unhealthy habits. As you seek to improve yourself, instead of asking your willpower and discipline to help you make the changes you want to make, qualities which you’ve been conditioned to believe you need and must have in order to get things done…I invite you to employ your: DEDICATION & INTENTIONALITY. **** The...
STAY COOL
It's HOT! This weekend features a potentially stressful Mars-Saturn square, which can stimulate feelings of frustration, impatience, stagnation and anger. Add high August temperatures, which affects our moods and energies, and it's a perfect moment to place our awareness on ways to help ourselves to cool down. -collagen/hydro-jelly face masks cools a hot head, where many of us generate too much heat with our thoughts. -ice face masks also bring down surface temperature of skin (also helps with...
