Reiki & the Journey

I had my second Reiki session tonight. Despite having done it once before, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect this time. The last two weeks have left me feeling incredibly stressed out for reasons we won’t get into here, and I found myself wondering if my body’s reaction to Reiki, might be to beat [...]

Reiki & W.T.F

Holy shit! Two posts in a row? It must be the end of the world! A few weeks ago, I decided to try something that was completely new to me – something that would probably leave most people rather skeptical – Reiki. My massage therapist of 16 years is a Reiki Master. Now, I’ve known [...]

The Truth of the Matter

You’re probably not surprised to hear that I’ve had writer’s block for the last couple of months. I’ve given this problem a lot of thought lately, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve got too many thoughts in my head, thus, making it difficult to neatly compartmentalize them and write cohesively. BUT Spring is [...]

Life is Slow When the Groove is On

Oh My God She’s back. I go AWOL for two months and they go and change things on me. Snap! I guess I should check out this new WP format while I’m in here .  Anyway, I know that I usually post these on the last Thursday of each month, but given my 2-month absence [...]

Allergies are Depressing!

No, it’s true! Those of you who know me, know that I’m allergic to the universe – trees, plants, grass, pollen, cats – you name it. I’m convinced that I might be better off living in a bubble – I would spend a lot less money on Reactine and Nasonex, which I’m on year-round. Anyway, [...]

The ONEder Fund – Spreading Awareness

I wanted to share a video that Kelle Hampton put together to promote awareness about Down Syndrome. Nella, Hampton’s daughter, has DS, and she will be turning One this week. To celebrate the big day, Hampton created a fund to help raise money for The National Down Syndrome Society (US). Her goal is to raise [...]

And Now I Let Go

I wasn’t going to write about this because yesterday, when I tried to put my thoughts and experience into words, it just wasn’t happening for me.  Thankfully, today it looks like my mental block has mysteriously vanished. What a shame! As my regular readers know, I’ve been on a quest for Zenitude (Annism!) for quite [...]

Grateful. Yeah, That’s Right!

So often, we focus our thoughts on the negative, while rarely pausing to think about the positive. It’s much easier to bitch and moan when things don’t go our way, then it is to acknowledge what we’ve been blessed with. How many of you pause to appreciate the little things? What kind of things make [...]

Pic/ Quote of the Day: Halls of India

‘Peace of mind is the basis of a healthy body and a healthy mind; so peace of mind, a calm mind, is very, very important.’ – H.H Dalai Lama As for this photo, I love the lighting and the angle at which it was taken. The colors are also rich but not too overwhelming in [...]

Letting Go of Judgment

A few days ago I received my latest Amazon order, which included a few books that I had selected from Moksha‘s recommended reading list. For those of you who don’t know, Moksha has hot yoga studios throughout Canada and also offer yoga teacher training.  Since I’m at a stage where I want to deepen my [...]
