Breath is Spirit. The act of breathing is Living. ~Author Unknown There is so much we take for granted in this beautiful thing we call life; and breathing is one of the things we take the most for granted. Just stop for a moment and notice your breath – is it short and shallow? Is [...]

Usually a diet is about restrictions. We count, measure, restrict, remove and deprive ourselves in our quest for a physical expression that matches what our culture deems as proper, perfect and acceptable. Seldom do we check in to see what wisdom our body might offer or wants to share with us. Instead we practice an [...]

Have you ever noticed that all youngsters find delight in movement? It comes naturally. There is delight in discovering how all their body parts work.

Horses are grazers. They do best with many small meals over the course of the day if they are kept in a barn or paddock or a rather constant nibble out on pasture. Yes, there are some horses that can over eat if presented with too much rich pasture; however most horses know when to [...]

There is a joke about two Southern Belles sitting on the porch challenging each other to share the best gifts given to them by their husbands. One finally says that her husband paid for finishing school for her so that she’d learn how to say, ‘that’s nice’ instead of something unlady-like. I have often thought [...]

The inner connection to the heart is a human mystery. There is both the physical beating organ that plays a leading role in our human existence; then there is the unseen, invisible energetic field that extends beyond the human body. There are institutes such as http://www.heartmath.org/ (Heart Math) who are dedicated to the discovery of [...]

How often do you take daily time for yourself? How often do you focus on what you need to fill yourself up so that you can give from the over flow of a filled personal tank? Our culture values “doing” over and above “being.” In our mad dash to do more, our personal tanks rapidly [...]

One of my favorite Biblical characters is Joshua, not because he was a warrior but rather because he used his wandering time in the desert as preparation for his Promised Land experience. Have you ever found yourself in a “wandering” experience? A time when you were in transition between one level of consciousness and a [...]

I have been in bondage and didn’t even know it. For years I have beat myself up trying to lose weight only to have it come back with a vengeance. I have even joked about no longer trying to “lose” the weight because it then tried to find me… Rather to release it to serve [...]
