Loving What Is

I’ve recently learned the root of the word heal. From Old English hælan was to "cure; to make whole, sound and well," and from Proto-Germanic hailjan, literally translates as "to make whole".

Connecting to Emotions (grief) in our Body - Lessons from Ireland Part II

After receiving the big healing and clearing on my hip (see my previous blog post, Part I, if you’re not sure what I’m talking about), I had an interesting time navigating the world with this new feeling in my body and energy field. Suddenly I was walking without pain, felt lighter and freer in a way that I hadn’t felt in a while, and also in a way that hadn’t known that I known how much heaviness I was carrying.

Listening to our Bodies, Speaking our Truth

It's been a difficult time for many people this past month. From the catapulting of sexual assault to the national news headlines with the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings to the recent (seemingly ongoing) shootings in grocery stores, synagogues and beyond, there is a palpable response both collectively and for many people individually, in their own bodies.
