Have you ever tried to help someone who doesn’t seem able or willing to help themselves? Frustrating, isn’t it. You might see clearly what changes your friend could make to alleviate or completely remove their stress and emotional pain. But what they seem to want is for the world to change around them, to enable themContinue reading “Helping Someone Help Themself”

Changing the World
From childhood I took for granted that I interacted in the physical world with other people who believed likewise. I wasn’t particularly aware of that, nor did I articulate it consciously – it was just reality. The individuals who populated my corner of the world had more similarities than differences – it was a fairlyContinue reading “Changing the World”
Be True to You
We all have a desire to love and be loved. We want to share our lives with someone, not live them alone. We want to have the kind of intimacy where someone thoroughly knows us deep down inside and we them. Yet, in an effort to find that special someone, we often try to pretendContinue reading “Be True to You”
Changing the Emotional Weather
It’s one thing understanding that peace and joy come from within. It’s another thing to actually feel the radiant glow of those positive emotions when clouds of negativity seem so determined to cast their shadows. Emotions can feel as uncontrollable as the weather. While reading Anthony De Mello’s book Awareness, I was inspired toContinue reading “Changing the Emotional Weather”
Healing a Post-Marriage Relationship
There’s a couple I know who divorced a few years ago, separated over ten years ago, and have several children together. They both have good relationships with their children. The couple relate to each other by avoiding each other as much as possible. When they first split, there was a mixed ability to have reasonableContinue reading “Healing a Post-Marriage Relationship”
Taking a Few Moments
So, early this morning I’m in the shower calling in Reiki for the day. I start to hear the babies, awake and crying, impatient to be fed no doubt. It’s hard to tell whether it’s both twin boys or whether our 1 ½ year old daughter is in the mix. My partner is downstairs –Continue reading “Taking a Few Moments”
Newton’s Law of Politics
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton’s law is as good an explanation as any for what is going on in American politics these days. With two months left to go, the red and the blue armies, the colors of this political civil war, are exaggerating, misrepresenting and just plain lyingContinue reading “Newton’s Law of Politics”
Do You Want to be in Work Today?
I’m acclimating myself to a day job that is everything that the last one was not in so many ways, including the social culture. Even though there are several hundred people working out of a couple of buildings (or maybe because of it) there is an effort made to get people interacting on a socialContinue reading “Do You Want to be in Work Today?”
Reiki and Calpol
Last Saturday my three year old son woke up unwell. He was listless, even his lips were pale, and there was vomiting. We considered taking him to Kdoc, since our GP was gone for the weekend, but we thought we’d monitor him for a bit first before taking that step. When his tummy settled theContinue reading “Reiki and Calpol”
Office Reiki
Some of my regular readers might be wondering at this point, “So how is the new job going? Y’know, the one that you said was going to keep you from blogging for a couple of weeks, which turned out to be more like six. Just sayin’.” Mea culpa. I should know myself well enough toContinue reading “Office Reiki”
