[Column] Spirited Kidz: Child’s Play!
Spirited Kidz: Child’s Play!
By Nadine Penny
Dear Nadine, I spend more time driving my kids to activities than I spend with them. How can I put the heart and soul back into family life? -- Chauffer Dad, Edina So my youngest turned 6! We hosted an English tea party for her kindergarten friends, played those classic birthday party games from times gone by and our entire family joined in the fun. My oldest child raced around those Musical Chairs with the youngest, my 7 year old Flipped Fish with the frilliest, and my husband rocked the … [Read more...]

[Article] To Compromise or Not To Compromise: Building Sustainable Relationships
To Compromise or Not To Compromise: Building Sustainable Relationships
Many popular psychologists, such as Dr. Phil, preach that compromise is the key to resolving relationship conflict and essential to building sustainable relationships. They view compromise as a "win-win" solution where both people get some of what they want. However, counselors who hold this perspective tend to act more like arbiters than counselors, pressing people to compromise regardless of the psychological issues that fuel people's conflicts in the first place. When this approach is … [Read more...]

[Article] A Glimpse into the Afterlife
A Glimpse into the Afterlife
By Annie Kagan
"The first thing that happens is bliss, at least it was like that in my case." I grabbed a pen and began writing my brother's words as he spoke. Nothing would have been odd about this had he been sitting next to me or on the phone. But he was dead. He died three weeks earlier after being hit by a car. I'd been a mess ever since, so depressed over Billy's death I could barely lift my head from the pillow. But on this day, I was awakened at dawn by his unmistakable voice calling my … [Read more...]

[Article] Release
Release
By Pamela Smith
I entered the dark, heated room, placed my mat on the floor, and readied myself for another guided meditation class. A circle of candles in the middle was the only light source. Our mats were placed around them, like rays of the sun, our heads at the center. The instructor began speaking. Her voice was low and smooth and reminded me of dark chocolates. Lying on my back, eyes closed and hands resting at my sides, my breathing slowed and my body felt weighted to the mat. While some near me … [Read more...]

[Article] Meaningful Day Trips I’ve Taken
Meaningful Day Trips I’ve Taken
By Cathy Combs
My number one experience that immediately jumps off the map at me is my trip to Cahokia Mounds in Collinsville, IL. Even though I live in Kansas City, MO., and it was quite a drive, the experience was more than well worth it. I love to drive so that in itself was fun. Walking the grounds of what is a sacred site to the Native Americans who lived and died there is an unforgettable experience. I could so feel the reverence and the beauty there. Knowing the story underneath what almost happened … [Read more...]

A Day of Sacred Silence
Nine weeks at Satha Sai Baba's ashram in Puttaparthi, India! An 11-day Vipassana silent retreat in the California Sierra Nevada! A vision quest in the Mojave Desert! Invite me to consider a spiritual day trip and I'm journeying to an exotic locale where I'll adhere to an extended routine of spiritual rigor. Since escaping adolescence, I have had one foot on a path of enlightenment and the other tangled in undergrowth of modern neurosis. My wandering mind creates fluctuating levels of … [Read more...]

Lights in the Sky
When I think of a spiritual day trip, often I remember my trips in the evening, or even at night. Sometimes, I climb in the car, tune into my guidance, and just go. Each street crossing is another opportunity to test the direction I am receiving: left, right, or forward. Sometimes I'll hear an internal voice, sometimes I just get a sense, sometimes it's like my muscles just know, and my mind catches up later. And sometimes I'm not quite certain, or I doubt my ability to perceive accurate … [Read more...]

[Poetry] On My Mother’s Death
On My Mother’s Death
All these years I have been swallowing my tears, Drowning out my heart's profound lament; All these years I took your sorrow for my own, Bore it all alone, wove it into bone and every cell; I carried all your fear; I held it almost dear, Yet always so unclear why I felt lost. All these years, now that you are gone, Turning into tears that can be shed; All these tears, now that you have died Washing clean the years and words unsaid. … [Read more...]

Feline Wisdom: Listen to Your Body
By Angie Bailey
I find I often make choices based on my schedule or to-do list instead of listening to my body's wisdom. I'm pretty certain I'm not alone in this one. Sometimes choices based on schedules and lists are necessary - I'd certainly never blow off a job interview because I felt like I needed a nap; however, within the times of the day that really are flexible (despite what my planner pad says), I can certainly adjust my activities. A cat is a master at listening to what his body needs and promptly … [Read more...]

Candy, Anyone?
By Lynn Garson
I have recently completed my personal journey from silver spoon to straitjacket and back. I come from a wealthy and privileged background, growing up in a house that looked more like Tara than Tara itself, with servants who came with the property. None of this insulated me from bouts of depression and anxiety. My struggles began in 1960, when I was 7 years old, but were manageable for most of my life. After a painful divorce in 2005, they became unmanageable. I went into a nose dive, … [Read more...]

The CranioSacral Experience
By Mela Amara
What is a CranioSacral session like, and how does it differ from massage? A CranioSacral session is one of the most deeply profound modalities of massage I have ever had the pleasure of receiving, as well as giving. First, from the receiving perspective: With massage, your muscles are continually being manipulated with the intent to relax. With CranioSacral, you invite your body to release and relax itself. You commune and listen to your body, and let it guide you towards healing and … [Read more...]

Becoming Claire: One Tarot Reader’s Story
Like so many others in these times, I faced my career mortality this past winter when I was laid-off as a director of an up-and-coming firm. I found myself 41, recently dumped by my ex, jobless, out of resources financially and, unfortunately, fighting a mystery illness. The month of December did not really see me emerge from bed. January was not much better; other than more trips to the doctor, I hardly escaped the home. This forced me, a busy career woman, to face a lot of time alone -- … [Read more...]

[Column] Evolutionary Pagan: Wabi-Sabi
Evolutionary Pagan: Wabi-Sabi
There are two types of initiation. One is a ceremony, ritual or test that one must undertake to join a group or hold an office. In Pagan culture, one usually commits to a group and the initiation is performed as a series of rites that highlight the transformation from seeker to dedicant to priesthood. In shamanic cultures, initiation is seen as a real or symbolic brush with death that leaves one transformed with new insight. When the shaman undergoes a traumatic experience, he or she becomes … [Read more...]
