I hope the posts and videos on this blog stimulate you to think differently about your health. I'm sharing from the perspective of my training as a homeopath and my experience practicing meditation and somatic healing for over twenty years.

Are you In a Harmonious Two Way Relationship With Your Body?
If you don’t take care of your body, you’ll have nowhere to live. So what does taking care of your body mean?
The Pace of Your Healing is Unique to You. Don’t Judge by Comparison.
Comparing yourself to your perception of how another person is doing is unhealthy in all aspects of life but it’s particularly destructive in healing.
Make Peace With The Fact That Healing Isn’t Linear
Have you ever felt it’s unfair when you regress in your healing?
Have you ever talked about economics and chakras in the same sentence?
We were working on an economics dilemma and everyone on the team was contributing his/her point of view.
Question Your Mind. Use Presence to Inquire Within
Our minds tell us so many things that aren’t true. In the process, we react emotionally, which affects our relationships.
Only Give What You Have To Give
All week I’ve been writing about giving and encouraging you to be realistic about your own capacity.
The pain the feels like it will obliterate us, can free us
We all have our dark corners, our shadow side that can be hard to face and meet with full presence.
Become your own loving witness
Do you agree that to be healthy we need to deal with our emotions? We need to process our emotions so we don’t end up repressing what’s not dealt with.
Unearth suppressed emotions from your body
The idea of unearthing suppressed emotional material is controversial. On the one hand, if that repressed material is creating blocks to living your life and accessing healing, then we want to know what’s really going on.
Beyond talk-based therapy
I believe in the benefits of talk-based therapy and am so grateful for all the ways it helped me understand myself and become more conscious.
Eat food that nourishes and strengthens you
This is a photo of the black raspberries that grow near my house every year in late June. I love these berries more than any other fruit.
You are what you eat. Feel what your body needs
The foods you choose have a huge impact on your vitality. If you eat food that is processed, package or industrial, there isn’t much life/chi/prana in it.
Play is a powerful healer
Imaginative, unstructured play brings children into the moment and grounds them in their bodies.
If you child has a learning challenge, take time to explore why, in addition to remediating
If you child has a learning challenge, take some time to explore why. Look at the whole child. Learn at what’s happening in the household.
Chronic tension
When the stress load is too high, children can be in a chronic state of tension, which may not be apparent on the surface.
Kids need to be at ease to learn
What if we looked at children with learning challenges through a holistic lens? Let’s broaden the focus from how the child processes information to how the child is doing in his/her life.
Look at learning challenges through a different lens
What if we looked at children with learning challenges through a holistic lens? Let’s broaden the focus from how the child processes information to how the child is doing in his/her life.
Our children are our greatest teachers
Our children will teach us what we need to learn for our self-growth, if we listen. In every moment that the child doesn't listen, there is an opportunity for us to self-reflect.
Children need love to thrive not fear. Please don't spank your kids
I wish it would be clear to parents that hitting children does much more harm than good. Spanking is not an effective way to teach children good behaviour.
