08/12/10 The Greatest Human Success Story Ever Told
Whenever bad news fills us with anger or the rigmarole of life threatens to overwhelm us, what do we do? Stand in the kitchen yelling like a three-year-old that our son is yelling like a three-year-old? (Insert for son: daughter, husband, wife, uncle, housemate, roommate, cat, dog, gecko, chicken, computer, etc.) No. We can simply say, “I choose peace. I choose peace. I choose peace… “ until this choice fills our whole body with ease.
06/06/10 America's Eco-Opportunity ~ The Cure is KINDNESS, COURAGE, & BEAUTY
We live in non-ordinary times which call for non-ordinary acts of goodness and nobility. America’s wake-up disaster doesn’t have to be a wake. It can be a “disastertunity.” While we mourn the coral reef, birds, and creatures in the Gulf of Mexico, sacred waters that my family and I have cherished for generations, every one of us can choose whether to have a conniption fit or focus on one aspect of creation we can help
05/26/10 AMERICA THE WILD
It looks like a broken artery, the Gulf of Mexico, mother earth hemorrhaging out into the sea, pointing out a blind spot in America’s own eye. With the help of BP, we’ve tapped into a vein of toxic life, pure demon energy. Even toxins have a life, yes indeed, and they are showing us their dance of power, unleashed by raw greed. Avaricious entrepreneurs, unfeeling engineers, listen up. This is your time. These are the
05/09/10 Heal the Ocean with Fluid Motion
KONA, HI ~ Two of our Yoga Dancers have survived cancer, one for more than 20 years, another for 6 months. They know what it’s like to focus all thoughts on total health and joy in every inch of the body, as we are doing now for every inch of the Gulf and all water systems of our one Earth. It can be comforting to feel righteous in the face of unashamed and stark evil
03/28/10 Respect Your Body
KONA, Hawaii ~ Rex was small but his spirit was big. When he walked into my studio with his mother, he zoomed over to the fitness ball and started playing roly poly on it while he made “pschoo pschoo” sounds. While his mother and I chatted, he darted around in a continual dance, scattering pillows, playing drums, rattling around in the music basket of bells and ‘uli ‘uli, feathered gourd rattles, all rambunctious, happy-go-lucky, playful
02/28/10 PILOT WAVES, TSUNAMIS, AND HEALTHY MOODS
KONA, Hawaii ~ At 6:00 am yesterday morning, we were roused by sirens blaring. The reverberating echo of an 8.8 Chilean earthquake had sent a tsunami at the speed of a jet airplane toward the Big Island. In danger of being inundated by a “wraparound” wave which could have hit us all the way into the next century, we were luckily spared, but coincidentally I had just been exploring the secret power behind another kind
02/08/10 Brave New Braco ~ Energy Healing
KONA, HI ~ As we sped south along the coast to meet the superhealing gaze of Braco, I felt very alive, and reminded my skeptical self of the power of belief. From the first moment I heard about instantaneous healings in the presence of this humble man from Croatia, I was changed. Word of his amazing gift preceded his arrival on the Big Island with people saying his gaze deep into their eyes had sparked
01/26/10 Dancing Sun, Raising Haiti
KONA, HAWAII ~ The rising sun over Kalani glistened on the waves, sending sparkles dancing like diamonds on the Pacific. Sitting on a patch of grass with a wide-angle view of paradise, I still felt sadness at the news from Haiti, but happy we had been able to do something both tangible and titillating about it. Part of me said, “How dare I feel this good?” And a deeper voice came: “Feel everything. Feel it
01/03/10 KIND LOVE & ZEN in 2010
Love’s sway over the human spirit has been labeled everything from a gift of the gods to a gush of biochemicals, a tool of the devil, and the creative mystery at the heart of life. Love may on the surface appear as all of these, but conscious love is so at center of the point and purpose for life on Earth, the unified point of it all, how do we stay on target? KIND LOVE
12/16/09 RITUAL OF THE TREE OF LIFE
KONA, HAWAII ~ All around the Earth at Winter Solstice the Tree of Life is renewed in ceremonies, services, parties, and candle-lightings. When people come together to celebrate the longest night of the year, we share the message of this joyful time, which is to love one another. We celebrate the return of the sun – the birth of the son — with merry singing and dancing. Kwanzaa, Christmas, the ancient festivals of Europe, Africa
