Healing in the Badlands

Where we worked in the Badlands, South Dakota

We started hiking here, listening to the places where we walked, touching the places with our life energy and presence, allowing ourselves to be touched by the land. The day was really beautiful, a perfect temperature, and clear sky. It had rained there during the night, so everything . . . → Read More: Healing in the Badlands

Renee in the Black Hills at the "Needles"

Last week I was in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I was leading a small group of 9 students on an earth healing training adventure. We traveled to various sites in the area and practiced connecting and communicating with the consciousness of these places. Each place, rock, . . . → Read More: Healing the Earth: training

Are You Alive?

If I am alive, I am connected with all life that exists. I am connected and participating within my own self. I am touching and being touched by other life forms. I share who I am with the stars, the earth and all of it’s creatures including my own self and my loved ones.

If I am . . . → Read More: Are You Alive?

Conscious Active Intentional Change

I am not the same person that I used to be. I have changed.  I am now more alive, awake and complete than I used to be. Like all spiritual beings, I am in a never ending process being who I am, and yet continuing to become more. I have embarked on an eternal quest to . . . → Read More: Conscious Active Intentional Change

Earth Healing and the Soul of the Planet

Last week I was working with a group of earth healers on the banks of the Mississippi River. The area was really lovely looking, with trees, water, birds and all. The energy there was another thing. We were near an area that has been heavily polluted, as many places along that river have been. To do . . . → Read More: Earth Healing and the Soul of the Planet

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is an energy. When you forgive, you invite forgiveness to  be inside of yourself, and then you are in a state of being called  forgiveness.

Forgiveness needs be a continuous choice.  It’s not as if you forgive once (irrevocably) and then you are done. You  can always drum up some bitterness if you like. Try it . . . → Read More: Forgiveness

Earth: a conscious being

Most people don’t think of earth as a living soul with a planet for a body. Fewer yet actually experience earth in that way. But we humans can learn how to do that. First, it helps to realize there is something that might exist and then realize there is something to learn.

Emotional Healing

Here’s some chicken poop for the soul:  Being told “You shouldn’t feel that way.”  I wonder why we do this sort of thing to each other?

It seems that almost everyone has some skill at stuffing their emotions. In our culture, we have lots of social rules and stories about how we should limit our emotional expression. . . . → Read More: Emotional Healing

Grateful for Gratitude?

Lately I’ve been talking with people about gratitude. It seems that most people have had lots of negative experiences with being told that they “should” be grateful for some awful thing that has happened to them. Don’t you think it’s strange that we say this sort of thing to each other?

It’s kind of like, “Be grateful . . . → Read More: Grateful for Gratitude?

Nature, life and death

In my class tonight we worked with bringing more nature into our bodies. My back yard has lots of trees and birds so it’s a great place to open and move your energy  with the life that is there. We all stood in the clover and brought more earth and more soul into our bodies, connected . . . → Read More: Nature, life and death
