Finally, we are coming to honor and appreciate the Crone, the font of wisdom a woman becomes after a life well-lived and lessons well learned.  I believe though, we are missing an important stage of life in our usual paradigm, the stage of Matriarch.  That gives us four stages: Maiden, Matron, Matriarch, and Crone.

Matriarch is the woman who has raised her children and completed her obligations as an active parent, or one who has devoted her 30s and 40s to establishing her career and who reache...

You deserve more of yourself​! I’m impressed with how much we can transmute in our physical body and life, simply by bringing in our Light Body and living from our multi dimensional self. So simple, though it takes years of devotion to self love, meditation, conscious movement, and shifting our thoughts to ​arrive at this as our default. When it does, even for some days out of the week, life feels brighter.

A dear friend last summer had the courage to point out how often I would complain, seemi...

Come live in your heart.  This is a meditation to take up residence in your heart and your core.  You’ll be invited to bring your consciousness into each chakra, which are the energy centers in the center of your body.  Each chakra connects the subtle bodies to the physical and are found at the crown, third eye, throat, heart, solar plexus, navel, and perineum.

The Meditation:  Take a deep breath and allow yourself to center.  Then imagine seeing your body like a lighthouse with you at the Ligh...

Reading about other’s journeys from mental illness to mental health brought to mind my journey from depression that became chronic and verged on suicidal in the late 70’s, though now I know it was massive repression taught to us descendants of Nebraska homesteaders.  What a shock when my marriage failed, for I’d excelled in all the courses about homemaking and was a good wife by farm standards, though I had no emotional life and knew nothing about how to live with an alcoholic who had psychotic ...

For many of us wounded sexually as children, intimacy and sexuality are a struggle between trying to consistently feel our sexual feelings or give up caring about relationships.  Incest and centuries of repressing the feminine and truncating the masculine (in us all) make intimacy difficult for many, often hard work, and sometimes frought with triggers.  I feel healing such pervasive effects requires we come to live in our deeper feminine, the true nature that lies beneath the wounds.  At our co...

I did nothing today.

I’m so proud of myself.

I’d almost forgotten how, but I managed to do nothing today.

I almost began to wonder what was wrong with me that I only wanted to be still and rest. I felt the restlessness of my over-achiever self-wanting to get something accomplished. I reminded her that rest is so important the creation story gives one out of seven days over to it.

We are a society that has forgotten how to rest. We create ever more exciting and  engaging ways to play, recreat...
