The Awakening, Part 4
I’ve had a family health emergency come up this past week, hence the lack of posts. I’ve been wanting to complete my thoughts about the weight loss workshop I took, since I did title it “The Awakening,” and I have awoken to quite a lot. For instance, not since my macrobiotic days have I realized I […]
The Awakening, Part 3
Continuing on with my coverage of the emotional terrain of my weekend workshop, toward the end of it we did an exercise which reminded me of a process group I was in many years ago. Based on the encounter groups of the ’60’s and ’70’s, it was set up to encourage free expression of feelings, but twenty years […]

Stop me if you’ve seen this one before. It’s one of my favorites.
The Awakening, Part 2
So this workshop I keep alluding to was all about eating for pleasure, to discover a deeper sense of passion for food, in that we tend to shovel food down without regard for truly appreciating the quality and quantity we are eating. In essence, it was a Conscious Eating workshop, combined with meditation, visualization, semi-Shamanic […]
The Awakening, Part 1
So I’m still attempting to process this weekend workshop I went through. I had some really amazing experiences, and continue to benefit from the growth opportunities I was afforded. And when I say ’growth opportunities’ you know that I mean “fuckingly painful emotional crap I had to wade through, with and without an onslaught of judgment for not easily expressing […]
The Voice of Reason
From Al-Jezeera TV. I don’t know how long this link will be up, so watch it NOW. Kudos to this amazing woman.
And I’m not even smoking anything
Yesterday I sprung for Alfonso de Rose’s CD with the title I can’t stand, and this afternoon I popped it into the CD player. It’s rather short; for $30 I wish there was more than one meditation on there. But the music is soothing, and he takes you into a light meditative state of positive […]
Feeeeeeeeeeeelings
It was recently pointed out to me by myself that I can be a crankypants when it comes to the subject of weight loss. In the face of eating as strictly as I have and doing all manner of cleansing rituals and not losing a pound, it is not beyond the bounds of human comprehension […]
2012 is going to be so fun!
You know, if you’re as new agey as I am, or if you like to make fun of the new agey, as I do, then you might have run across the work of Gregg Braden in your travels. I am sure it is because of him that I am manifesting some things in my life […]
I am a superhero
Something I probably don’t do near enough is toot my own horn. But I have two things to honk about, namely a bladder infection and barotitis. In the past week I sustained both of these, the first from some, er, aerobic exercise, and the second (an inner ear infection) from a plane ride. The bladder […]
