Another Speed Bump

      Well, another speed bump in the form of another surgery.  I'm hoping this is the last one for a long, long time.  I'm still working on taking care of myself, learning and re-learning how to pace myself, and generally heal on many levels.

     Some days it feels like I'm having to crawl out of a deep hole, but I believe that everything I do to help myself will bring me closer to better health.

     One thing that I've discovered in this whole ordeal is the power of EFT, also known as tapping.  Do you know about it?  It operates on the notion that around 95% of our operating system is run by the subconscious.  So, if we want changes in our lives, we need to change the programming at that level.  

     So, if I want to change a pattern in my life that isn't helpful anymore, say, pushing past my energetic limits in order to get things done rather than pacing myself, I would tap on the statement, "Even though I feel I need to ignore my needs in order to get things done, I still deeply and completely accept/love myself."

     The actual tapping points are designed to access the subconscious through the meridian system, as shown in Traditional Chinese Medicine.  It's a genius way to change one's programming, remove old blocks, address traumas, and reprogram your way to a new life.  

     Want to learn more?  There are hundreds of videos on YouTube on tapping.  A good explanation video, from one of the leading EFT practitioners, is here.  Happy tapping!

Speed Bumps

      And I'm back.  Life has put some speed bumps in my way -- two surgeries within three months -- and it's taking longer to recover than I expected.  And so it is.

     And how are you?

     The energies in the world right now are, to me, sometimes difficult to navigate.  It just feels like the world is on a giant vibration plate and all sorts of things are coming loose.  I believe that this is for the purpose of getting rid of things that no longer serve humanity, but, boy, is it hard to live through.  

     Maybe my speed bumps serve the purpose of slowing down, taking care of myself, and not be so actively engaged in this world right now.  If that seems wise to you, feel free to do the same.

     Meanwhile, take good care of yourself and I'll try to do the same.

Happy Equinox

      The spring equinox is coming up on the 19th of this month.  We celebrate the balance of light and dark, as well as the start of Spring.

     I think it is a good time to check in with ourselves and see how balanced we are.  Am I balancing my active masculine energies with the feminine energies of rest?  Am I balancing the need to attend to the outer world with some time to focus on my inner self?  If we are in a role of taking care of others, are we balancing that with taking time to take care ourselves?  

     I would encourage you to take some time on the equinox to check in on your life balance.

What If . . .

      I've explored the whole notion of Twin Souls for a long time, as you know, and lately have begun to think about how the idea might be a kind of steppingstone in our evolution as a species.  Let me explain.

     My mind has revolved around these questions:  What if Twin Souls are a symbol of the balance of the masculine and feminine energies inside ourselves?  What if that balance is required for the next step in our growth?  What if the idea of the union of Twin Souls is a symbol of our unity with all of humankind?  What if that idea of human Oneness is a necessary step to creating a new world, one of peace, justice, compassion, and truth?  

     You know the old axiom:  As above, so below, and as within, so without.  I am coming to believe that the Twin Soul concept points to a necessary inward balance as well as an awareness of our unity with all humanity.  There is so much to ponder.

A New Year and New Beginnings

      Now that the New Year's celebrations are over and we return to the rut of everyday living, I would like to challenge all of us to rethink the rut that we are in.  What is keeping us there?  Are there fears or unhealed issues which keep us from moving in a different direction?  If so, it is well time that we address those things which hold us back.

    I spent a lot of last year addressing old issues through shadow work.  There are many ways of going about this, and I think it is a deeply personal thing, but it is something that is essential if we want to heal and move forward.

     So, this year I'm focusing more on building what I do want.  New habits, perhaps, or new ways of thinking about things, or new attitudes or new ventures.  I don't know fully yet how that will manifest, but I'm working every day to creating a more positive future.  I want to get out of that old rut!  How about you?
