Uncertainty, Struggle, Choice and Change
Posted On Aug 25 2009Humankind is made for uncertainty, struggle, choice and change. – A Wise One from Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time epic. This is the Season of Living Intuitively. I aim to live from my hearts best intuition and manage the problems of uncertainty. Each season over on Body & Soul Mentor member site, I select a new theme for exploration. The theme arises from movement in the collective consciousness or that of individual patients or members. Recommended by a wonderful patient, I’ve been reading The Black Swan by Nassim Taleb. The subtitle – The Impact …
Here Is What Happened To Matisse…
Posted On Oct 29 2008Here is what happened to Matisse the first time he took up brush to paint – “When I started to paint, I felt transported into a kind of paradise.” He’s talking about flow. He’s talking about the right brain. He’s talking about the Buddha brain. He’s talking about conscious action. He’s talking about presence. Art of any sort has the ability to put you into the graceful state of flow. When you are in flow, you enjoy what you’re doing. You lose self-consciousness. Your sense of time changes. It disappears completely. It stops dead in frozen, perfect moments. Or it …
What Are You About, Dear One?
Posted On Oct 5 2008Josh, a new reader, asked me such a challenging question I thought I’d pass it on to you. Here’s his question, “In one great sentence tell me what you believe you are about?” The form of the question raises other issues about believing, so for this exercise I abbreviated the question to: In one great sentence, what are you about? One of the questions I ask my patients is — who is the you that you refer to. If you don’t think there are multiple versions of you, then you have not been paying attention. So, who is the YOU …

Announcing the Launch of The Wholesome Entrepreneur
Posted On Oct 1 2008When I was putting my affairs in order for my surgery last winter (when doing major surgery there is always a chance, however small, of not making it), I updated my wills and I wrote like mad to finish The Wholesome Entrepreneur. I wanted to leave it as a legacy for my daughters, both entrepreneurs, and to the massage profession. I finished it before I went under general anesthetic. Obviously, as we all expected, I survived. And I have this Life Giving Manual for you now. I launch The Wholesome Entrepreneur, on October 2nd at 6:00 AM PDT. The subtitle …
It’s Always about Fear
Posted On Sep 18 2008Fear, FEAR, fear. It’s always about fear, dear one. My friend, Jack Blackburn, reminds me of The Course in Miracles, which say there is only fear and love. And fear’s not real. Even with a couple of scary medical diagnoses, the worst single-month drop in my retirement funds in half a decade, the steady erosion of the dollar, all of which I am experiencing this week, it’s all still only fear. And in this moment beyond my fear, what? THIS PRESENT MOMENT! Robin song, small fishing boat motor, 7 mph SE breeze, gray sky and clouds, looking across the Salish …
