Okay, So I’m Not Fine

I’ve tried to ignore it. Got myself good and distracted with so many projects, so much creativity, so many things.  And I made it a record amount of time, I think, without actually doing anything about it. Oh, you know how it is when you’re in pain, if you stay busy it just … fades […]

Normalize … Magic?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how the mystical, occult, eldritch, witchy, druidic, priestessy/goddessy, magical and strange have never really been accepted in the US.  I mean, first of all, way too many people in the US have come from overly puritanical and fear-mongering religious backgrounds, so anything outside that narrow and rigid band of […]

Experiencer Guided Visualization

Wow, based on some feedback from last week’s post, I have decided to do a guided visualization to help us all start flexing that Experiencer muscle!  It’s a little over 13 minutes (how witchy!) so do make sure you have the time and space to listen before you dig in. Please do listen back as […]

Observer, or Experiencer?

When you visualize yourself on your mind’s movie screen, are you simply watching yourself do things, or are you inside your body experiencing the world around you? This is important for your spiritual development. Which is it? Are you simply watching your, for want of a better word avatar, go through motions, or are you […]

The Song of Autumn

The Sun God stood in the tower at sunset and allowed melancholy to seep into his bones.  He was tired. So tired. It had been a long summer, and climate change was making his job so much harder. Trying to control the strength of storms and the intensity of light, trying to hold back the […]

Love is a Field

We have the space-time field, morphogenic fields, magnetic fields … but I think we need to consider fielding one more … field …  Mr. Rogers described love as a verb, like struggle. Love is active, to love, to be loved. Love isn’t some static thing just laying around until we need it. Love is something we do, and […]

Aging Like a Boss

None of us are getting any younger.  And sometimes it sucks. Aches, pains, sensitivities, digestive discomforts, thin skin … Sometimes I don’t know how I make it out the door. But somehow I do. We’re getting older in a youth-obsessed world. It’s not young people who are doing it to us. No. It’s us. We hate […]

Reading Back This Time

A while back, I posted about listening back to my old old music, from recordings made in the 1990s, and how surreal that was.  This past week, I have been archiving this blog, in order to move this whole dang website to a new home, soundworkshealingarts.com, coming soon. It took a lot longer than it […]

Out of Spoons Error

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about spoons.  The “Spoons Theory” of autoimmune disease is brilliant. I hand you some spoons, which represent units of energy, and we talk through a typical day. Every action costs a spoon, because people with things like fibro and lupus and MS and so on, require a lot […]

Felt Sense

No, I’m not saying felt is sentient (though I have seen some smart felt), nor am I saying that felting is a sensible thing to do (although it is pretty cool).  Heartfelt thanks go out to my dear friend Lynn for putting these two words together in my ears. Felt. Sense. Felt sense. Here’s the […]
