Heat, Humidity, Heart~

I feel like it has been a while since I've written. All is going well in most ways despite the irritation I feel with the heat.  I think the heat has been a little too much for me.  Our AC went out and with the added humidity in the air, the swamp cooler isn't doing much to cool things down.  I have had a difficult time cooling down and have discovered that the heat or feeling constantly hot is pretty aggravating and it makes me oddly emotional.  It is all very curious.  Thankfully, my folks live just up the street, so we have been spending most of our days up there.  I hope to have the air conditioner fixed by this weekend and will look forward to that.

On a positive note,  I had a private session yesterday that was a really fantastic experience for me and for the client I worked with.  I find private sessions are a wonderful opportunity to learn and to hone my intuitive skills as a teacher.  It seems to me that when I am given the opportunity to work one-on-one,  I tap into my innate ability to help heal.  During the session,  I marveled at the way things unfolded and evolved.

You go in to it not knowing exactly what you will work on, sometimes you do but not always, and you go with it and trust your intuition and inner wisdom and it all works out so perfectly.  Anyway,  we ended up working on shoulders because that is the way the session naturally unfolded, and it felt to me that's what was needed.  It was a huge opening experience for this individual.  She was brought to tears by this new feeling and opening in her body and heart and by this new clarity in her mind. It was almost as if she felt a deep sense of relief.  It made me so happy to be able to help and to know that I could help.

After the session concluded,  I left feeling so honored and grateful to have been part of the experience. What kept running through my mind was how much I love what I do and how it just gets better as I go along.  I am constantly amazed at the way the role of the teacher really is always about being the student.  I may be offering what I know and what I've learned, but I always learn something new from the people I share these things with.  Amazing!

So this morning I am again filled with gratitude for this aspect of my life,  for the opportunity to be both the student and the teacher, for this path that found me and for the desire to continue on.  Who knows where it will continue to lead me, but I will follow as long as I enjoy doing so.

Now, to enjoy another aspect of my life... my son.

Enjoy the day,

Marcia

A Mother's Plea For Help ~

“It’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it.” -Lena Horne We often think that admitting struggle is a sign of weakness, but we all struggle sometimes. We all get overwhelmed sometimes. We all need help sometimes. Acknowledging this is not a sign of weakness, but struggling alone is a choice to grow weak. Dear Friends, This will be a very different entry than what I usually write.  This entry is really a request for help, ideas, suggestions, empathy, a show of love by offering anything useful to help me help my son with his separation anxiety.  Let me share with you my situation... My son is 5 and has been going to preschool 4 days a week for 3 1/2 hours.  The school he goes to is really a wonderful place.  It is whimsical and small and community oriented. His teacher is the best.  She is kind, compassionate, loving, and she loves what she does.  I love her.  He only has 9 kids in his class and there are at least 2 or 3 adults present at all times.   At the beg

A Long Time Away~

Photo by: Matthew Dols  My last post was in January. It's been 4 months since I've last written a thing. I guess I've been away so long because I haven't really known what to say or think or share. On some level, I've been reluctant to share what's really going on for me for fear of how such information might be perceived. Maybe it's all part of this strange change that I seem to be in. I find myself questioning everything from teaching to parenting and everything else in between. I honestly don't know why I feel so displaced and uncertain, but I do. And I find myself less and less interested in the things I used to be interested in, and more and more uninspired by those things that use to really inspire me. I find myself getting bored, to some degree, with the whole yoga scene. It's all become so trendy and bendy and ultra ego driven. It's a bit too much-look at me- for me. Don't get the wrong idea here,  I'm not writing this post

Big and Wide Open~

Photo Credit: Mathew Dols I'm listening to Ben Howard and feeling quite nostalgic.  My head is still a bit clogged and foggy from being sick, which may have something to do with the state I am in. But truthfully, it feels more like old stuff that's coming up and moving out.   Either way, I feel inspired to write and let this inner desire for understanding and expression take place. I really can't help but marvel at the way time passes,  along with people and places and moments that seem to live forever.  There are certain moments and times in life that shape so much of who we are, what we become along the way, and the way in which we find our way into our self. For me, there have been many wonderful people, places and moments that have shaped me into the person I am now.  I am not just speaking of the big and obvious things like marriage and having children.  You see,  I grew up an army brat and moved around a lot. I moved from state to state, across the sea, and i
