Why we are all dead ~ and how to come alive

Reading Time: 5 minutes The Australian natives called the “Real People” call us mutants. They are kind, if we consider what the Kogi natives from Northern Colombia call us. They say we are dead; the dead people. Why? Because we have lost connection to the rest of the natural world so radically that we do not have the energy to be fully, vibrantly alive. As I write these words, a tree is being cut in the garden outside my window. It was a beautiful, exuberant tree with luscious branches that harbored birds, gave flowers and made my mornings a delight. It gifted me with its shadow and its green splendor. But it was more than that. It was a friend. It had inspired me many poems, taught me many life lessons, answered many of my questions. It shared my dreams and healed me when I was sick. Today I woke up when a beautiful dream suddenly turned into a nightmare. I got up and heard the giant saws and looked out of the window to see my friend being mutilated. I looked at the [Read more.]

Earth, mother, you woman

Reading Time: 4 minutes Earth, Mother, You Woman This article explores how your authentic joy can help restore our collective connection with Earth and the Sacred Feminine. Think about what you do in a day. Multiply that by billions, and you get a sense of what women do for the world —all in heels and while looking gorgeous! Women’s History Month has gone, Earth Day came and went. But women’s history is created every day by you and me, and we need to make Earth Day every day in order to repair the damage we’ve done to Earth Mother. That same damage is affecting you as a woman and mother right now. Your well-being as a woman and Earth’s well-being are intertwined. Just as we need to protect Earth from wanton exploitation, depletion, abuse and poisoning, we need to protect ourselves as women from living a stolen life where our energies are depleted by others without renewal, valuing or reciprocity. Here’s three ways in which your lifestyle can return the value of the Sacred Feminine while enriching your own life. When you as a [Read more.]

2012: Is it the end of the world?

Reading Time: 2 minutes People see what happens in Japan and cry: “The Mayan Prophecies are real! 2012 is the end of the world!” Panic spreads in social media. This is fear talking, not Mayan wisdom. 2012 is not the end of the world. It is the time to come home. I am writing this series of posts in response to the fear that is spreading in social media and across the USA, perhaps across the world, as a result of the earthquake in Japan and the Pacific Tsunami and the resulting nuclear disaster. There are a lot of people now connecting these disasters and those of the last years with the Mayan Prophecies about 2012 and believing that this means the end of the world. I am a shaman and Spiritual Teacher with a  long Spiritual Practice. I do not call myself an expert in Mayan Prophecies, but I have listened to the Mayan and Native elders and to my Spirit Guides, as well as to my own self-wisdom. As a Peacekeeper and a Rose Warrior, I am here to help dispel fear [Read more.]
