I celebrate this 50th anniversary of Earth Day with deep grief, reverence and optimism. Fifty years ago, there was such promise of cutting back human consumption of Earth’s resources, of curbing fossil fuel emissions and for environmental justice…but human behavior didn’t change. The planet is heating up. The ice sheets are melting. The oceans are dying. Then 2020 arrived and everything changed, but not as we had expected! We have finally reached the tipping point of life out of balance and what the Hopi call “Koyaanisqatsi”. Nature has arisen like the wrath of Kali and released a deadly pestilence. Now the world and its economy have been quarantined until we can figure a way out of this via a vaccine, behavior change or spontaneous immunity…or all three. I do not grieve the lockdown and isolation, though inconvenient to my physical activities. I grieve the path that got us here, such […]
Gringos in Paradise – Phase II – Seven Months In
Seven months into Gringolandia find us enjoying our mañana lifestyle where it’s OK to put off today what you can do tomorrow, or the next day or next week! We feel we have entered Phase II of our permanent Mexican vacation—living more comfortably and consciously in our adopted country. The first six months, as mentioned in prior posts, felt like “bootcamp”, or campo de entrenamiento (say that quickly after a couple shots of tequila!). It has been an initiation into a different culture, language, monetary system, and living at 5,000’ on an uneven, rocky terrain. However, we’re living and learning—estamos viviendo y aprendiendo—and adapting nicely! It took us nearly six months, but we found our ideal, bright, modern lakeview home that we have leased for a year or more. We are feeling blessed, having gotten our sky back and being able to watch the planetary conjunctions along the ecliptic celestial […]
A View on Multidimensional Healing from an Akashic Perspective
We live in a wondrously complex, multidimensional universe of divine intelligence. This “multiverse” can be referred to as the Akashic or Unified Field of consciousness, which is teeming with timeless information, mysteries and synchronicities beyond human comprehension. We mere mortals are limited by our five-sense, three-dimensional orientation that gives primary credence to scientific materialism, left-brain “logic” and healing through material medicine. Hopefully, as our understanding of energy evolves, we can suspend our attachment to the concrete world and equally embrace the quantum, holographic, right-brain realm, where everything is connected beyond what we can observe. The quantum notion is that we create our reality through our observations of it; we believe what we perceive and perceive what we believe. Much emphasis is placed on healing through the physical realm, where material medicine primarily focuses on fixing some ailing part. This can be viewed as fragmented medicine. In contrast, an Akashic or […]
