Do you know where your stress is? Do you want to know?

I am almost at the end of my meditation teacher training. I’ve learned to teach 10 different meditations and have 2 more to go.   I’ve learned so much on this journey. In particular, not only how ignorant I was to the wide range of meditations there are, but how much I didn’t know about stress. I’m not talking about the feeling of stress. You know, when you’re overwhelmed by the amount of things you have to accomplish by the end of the day. Nor the feeling of being overworked or the pressures put upon you from your job whether that’s a deadline or other people counting on you. No, not that kind of stress. I’m talking about the kind of stress that lives deep, deep without our brains. The kind that effects our health in ways modern medicine is only beginning to understand. Every time we experience a traumatic event or intense feelings (grief, anger, fear) our "fight-flight-freeze" response (stress) gets turned on and when it does our body is flooded with adrenali...

Good riddance 2017!

“We lose connection with our realness when others have standards on how we should be.”  Tara Brach I’d like to say a big F-you, sayonora, and good riddance to 2017 but my therapist says that’s not nice. She says that without all the tough lessons I had this year, I would not have grown. And...she’s right (but don’t tell her that...) Every day I choose an Angel Card (see link) to give me a word, something to contemplate and guide me as the day goes on. Each year on New Year’s Day, I chose a theme word for the year and then I review it on the last day of the year. Last January I got "Education". To be honest, when I picked it, I was a little disappointed. I guess I thought the word was boring. I’m sure my angels were laughing at me then. They knew what they were doing, as always, because I definitely got an education this year! I got my PhD in me and let me tell you, it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. 2017 was a year of transitions at home and work. It was ...

H.O.P.E. - Hold On, Pain Ends

"Once you choose hope, anything's possible. " Christopher Reeves My father was very sick before he passed away in the wee hours of a cold January morning nearly five years ago. During the last month of his life, he either spent a lot of time in the hospital (due to several bouts of pneumonia related to his COPD) or at the dialysis center (due to his failing kidneys). He was very sick. The doctor’s discharged him from the hospital two days before he died because he was doing a little better. They would have preferred he go to a rehabilitation center but my mom wanted him home. I sat with him the day before he died while my mom went to pick up some medicine for him. He told me, while we ate lunch, that he was not that sick and that he would be driving again very soon. He said it so emphatically as if he knew something I didn’t. Not only was he convinced that he would  be driving very soon (something he hadn’t been able to do for months before he passed) but he...
