Welcome to December! This year is closing out with a bang! You can only guess what I’ve been up to from my November newsletter these past weeks. The three phases of transitioning – beginning, neutral, and ending — continue to influence me to relax more, knowing it’s all a process. This month, I planned to introduce many of you to Brian Swimme. The way he thinks — I find fascinating. In his autobiography Cosmogenesis, he remembers things from his past… Read more »
Welcome to November! This month I thought the topic “transitions” would be interesting to discuss. We all go through changes in our lives. They can be stressful, life changing, and scary. They can cause anxieties, sleeplessness, and more. They can also be fun and exhilarating. It seems to me that, somehow in life, the only thing that is constant is change. William Bridges (1933–2013), an authority on change and transition, describes transition as… “…the inner psychological process that people go… Read more »
I am quite convinced at this point, that our minds control our lives. In some of my past newsletters, I have featured Shamini Jain, Bruce Lipton, Raymon Grace, and even Willie Nelson, who wrote that “what we think about comes about.” “The energy of the mind is the essence of life.” ―Aristotle, The Philosophy of Aristotle Since Aristotle walked around Greece, people have understood the power of our minds. Yet, many of us still have a hard time accepting that… Read more »

The Power of Groups Meditating Dear all, I think you all know how I feel about meditation and how important it is for our wellbeing. All of us easily recognize the benefits of meditating for individuals. In Mayo Clinic’s article Meditation: A simple, fast way to reduce stress, the Clinic states that “Meditation can wipe away the day’s stress, bringing with it inner peace.” In the last few years there has been more and more research about group meditation. It shows… Read more »
The Natural Order of Life In the animal world, we see it all the time – other animals adopt or care for another species. On Facebook and other social media sites you will find dogs befriending cats, cats befriending birds, and even a frog befriending a snail. These “odd couples” care about each other in spite of their differences. I’ve seen pictures of a heard of water buffalo accepting an orphaned elephant as one of their own. Indigenous peoples also have… Read more »
Meditating Last May I listened to a lecture on meditation by Nina Fry-Kizler. It was one of the free Friday lectures given by the Institute of Noetic Science (IONS). Fry-Kizler talked about how not all types of meditation suit all people. She walked us through three types of meditation – mindfulness, focused, and movement. Not all meditation involves sitting quietly with your eyes closed. I found the Movement Meditation interesting and invigorating. Nina’s talk got me thinking about meditation in… Read more »
