being well

Posted on by


Wellness that is being allowed, or the wellness that is being denied, is all about the mindset, the mood, the attitude, the practiced thoughts. There is not one exception, in any human or beast; because, you can patch them up again and again, and they will just find another way of reverting back to the natural rhythm of their mind. Treating the body really is about treating the mind. It is all psychosomatic. Every bit of it, no exceptions.  Abraham, Philadelphia, PA, 5/13/2002

 

This week in The Journal, I am writing about dreams.  About flying and landing and taking off.  What lifts us up and what takes us down.  You can join me here.

get out on the floor!

I am looking for more ways to get out on the floor.  Getting out on the floor means dancing (writing, riding, loving) full out, no stops, all in.  I came across this delicious video when I was doing some research for one of the performers I coach.  Check out Ruel and Mike. They are ALL in.  How often do you get out on the floor?

Falling, the edge

Posted on by

This morning as I sipped my coffee, a bank of fog came tumbling over the crest of Indian Mountain.  A light wind tattered the edge, and then the fog thickened again.  It was as if the clouds and the wind were playing, conversing.  Below, the swamp maples are dressed for fall.

Today I am interested in the edges of things.  The edge of my cup as the sun carves an arc of light onto its surface.  The warm edges of my body meeting the coolness of the air.  The way we experience one moment (sipping coffee) falling, edging into the next (taking out the trash).  The way summer is falling.

Just now, as you are sitting, what edges are you aware of?  Can you let that feeling become clearer?  And then can you soften that edge, so that your body and whatever you are touching dissolve into each other – like the fog and the wind in the picture?
