Posted On Apr 25 2019I have a collection of stressors, maybe you do too? Slowly but surely mine were killing me. Literally. I used to deprecate guided imagery as being too airy fairy for me. Give me real Zen meditation or Taiji. Now, I love guided imagery. I’d love all my family and clients to do it. As you may know, I have many self-care strategies, and have used them for decades. I employ taiji, meditation, walking, exploring in nature, weight training with kettlebells, regular therapy, Zentangles and drawing. I recommend all of those, but for me with the challenges and demands of …
Doodling – It’s good for you. It helps you learn and think.
Posted On Nov 28 2018Doodling has been much maligned. Schools and offices squash you and your doodles. I have known for years that it has value in many ways. When you doodle, you open channels in your brain that deepens understanding and makes connections, leading to creative options, and wonderful problem solving. Doodling can calm your stress and restore your spirit. Sunni Brown in her six minute TED talk I recommend defines doodling: “Doodling is really to make spontaneous marks to help yourself think.” In her closing she says, “So here is my point: Under no circumstances should doodling be eradicated from a classroom or a …

More, it feels right. I use drawing to bring myself into the Sacred Present Moment. And as I’ve said before on these pages, my current joy is making Zentangles. But… Whatcha think? Whatcha feel?

A Lovely Way to Connect to Oneness
Posted On Feb 27 2018When I was sitting down to create a Zentangle, I recalled Thich Nhat Hanh’s sweet idea for recalling the truth of Oneness. We are all one, and everything is in us. When you feel Oneness and your part in it, you feel at home and deeply connected. Unlike social media which serves to make us feel more alone, Oneness connects. Here’s what he said – An artist can see the cloud in the piece of paper she’s drawing on. When you create a Zentangle, first you take a few deep breaths to ground and center, then you place a …
