Balance between mind (solving puzzles) & mindfulness (spaciousness)

Posted on November 9, 2014 | Leave a comment

A maze is a puzzle and can be confusing. It reflects challenge and requires mind solving focus versus mindfulness! Have you considered how mindfulness supports and balances mind solving skills? Too much challenge can create limited focus and panic. A pathway that leads to mindfulness creates open space for increased brain power for meeting and navigating challenges!

Social Change: “Experience is possibly the highest order of existence”

Posted on October 28, 2014 | Leave a comment

Meaningful change happens when a tribe of bodies in alignment with each other begin to manifest together. Positive change can happen with the coming together of those who share similar connection beliefs such as acceptance, empathy, direct expressions of honesty, respect, consideration and acknowledgement. The willingness to listen to each others needs will show up in the creation of concrete solutions for the sustainability of life and the planet. Why? It is about growing and expanding not controlling.

There is only experience, and nothing else. It is how you experience that is important, not the end point. It is about the journey on the way. You will know which community is your tribe through the experience of being enriched or drained.

The question becomes then, can you tell soon enough which state you are experiencing and move to the one that serves you better? or, do you like struggle as it is familiar, therefore stay stuck in the mud as it is familiar?

Exploring Empathy Nature with a creative Medicine Wheel Installation

Posted on October 26, 2014 | Leave a comment

Pictures of an indoor Medicine Wheel Installation by Inside in October, 2014 for exploring 4 Aspects of self with a template representing a cycle of life. The four quadrants of the wheel represent the four seasons, four cycles of day & night, four parts of self and connection to natures elements.

Combining reflection to the elements in this cycle of life with an empathy talking circle encouraged a deeper personal sharing. The circle format supported inner leadership and a deepened sharing that created an empathetic field and safety.

If you are interested in reading more on the Medicine Wheel I would recommend Buffalo Woman comes Singing by Brooke Medicine Eagle. Brooke Medicine Eagle was in Victoria, B.C. in 2001 at the University of Victoria as part of the Prophet’s Conference. I enjoy sharing that Brooke also studied Feldenkrais, directly with Moshe Feldenkrais!

Have your own Medicine Wheel Event! Connect for more information on this walking map of consciousness and explore an empathy nature talking circle.
