Holiday Contemplations--What's At My Table?
The Feasting Table. Human beings have loved to build a fire, share food, and tell stories, for as long as we have had them. Annual celebrations and gatherings are places where we learn what we "should" be grateful for. What we learn depends on our family culture and the values it emphasizes. In...

Balance Meditation for the Equinox

River of Jewels Five: Visuddha Chakra
If you listened to the free bonus episode, you might have noticed me processing why I say the things I say, and how I am heard or received by others. I talked about the importance of creativity to rise up and out of structures that are not working. In this meditation, explore the energy of...

Working My Way Back
Working my way back to you, babes! Talking a little bit about what I've been up to during this terribly long pause, and trying to get my allergy-impaired voice warmed up for your next soothing meditation!

BONUS EPISODE: Grounding and Context for River of Jewels, and Other Meditations
Conspiracies and dissociation from each other and from the truth are dangerous parts of our world. Unfortunately, a good many teachers in yoga, fitness, wellness, health, supplements, and coaching offer up these dangers in order to tantalize and gain market share. As someone who wants to do what…
