Come hang out with my plants and treat yourself to a Zenthai in my new solarium 🤍

Best place for listening to the rain while staying cozy & maximizing uplifting brightness 🌞 😌

This is my heart; this is what I wish to share in with others:

A world in which we tend to ourselves and each other

In which we resist the forces trying to divide us, and come together in our humanity

With softness, depth, & grace.

Through Zenthai I have begun the never ending journey of coming home to myself, and I invite you to join me ❣️

Forever grateful for the ripples and always striving to be a conduit

This course has 3 spots left

And is a pre-requisite course for the 9 month transformational journey of becoming a Zenthai Therapist (coming Sept. 2025)

Blessings 🙌

There has always been an Eagle

Since the beginning of Man, on these Lands

An Eagle has flown overhead

And dropped a deep stillness
Into our core

Awe

A feeling we have shared
with all our ancestors
And all our kin

Since the beginning of Time as we know it

And despite how different
Perhaps it wasn't so different

When we look within

For the whales still call out
And the Sea-gulls, well, perhaps we've given them a new name
But the unspoken is still alive in us all

Perhaps we have always struggled to find our power
And perhaps we've always been susceptible to being taken by the Night
Perhaps some parts of us have always been lost
& taken a lifetime to find

And even though lineages are broken,
and families are pulled apart

Even though much has been lost, & tortured

Our ancestors still sing through the cracks in our skin
& guide us towards a better life than them

Their prayers & longings & love
Still ring

So let them ring
And perhaps, try to listen

Find quietude & the strength will grow from your very roots

Contemplate the Eagle
And let that show you

Where to go from Here

🦋 It's true what they say...🦋

No one else can "heal" you

But I also believe that it is misleading to say that "you heal yourself" ~

Healing is what spontaneously happens under the right conditions

Sometimes another person might help create the conditions for your healing

Or an animal, plant, or other aspect of nature might provide a state or place that is the key

Sometimes you might be able to provide the conditions for yourself

And in all those circumstances...

Healing simply springs forth.

Healing is life given the chance to live through you, unencumbered

It is innateness

It is the song that sings itself

Heaven and Earth making love within your body

If we can let go

Trust life to live itself

Find the guides and helpers that unlock doorways

And be lucky enough to have access to safety

We will be healed 🌼

🪶The most important thing you will ever bring to a bodywork session is not a secret technique or special skill.

The most important thing you will bring is something that you already contain: your full, undivided, attention.

We all innately know how to touch and care for another being. Your own unique way of doing so is not something that anyone can teach you. Nor is it something that can be re-created by anyone else.

In the container of a Zenthai Shiatsu course, we do throw a lot of techniques at you; we give you a framework and a container to work from, and we begin guiding you into diagnostics – deeper ways to open up your senses, listen deeply, and discover what might be needed to help someone overcome difficulties or step into wholeness.

But then, ultimately, “we learn the sequence to forget the sequence”. We practice the scales in order to play a song, maybe even write our own, or tap into the freedom and wonder of improvisation. As my teacher always reminded us, we “make it all up because it’s all made up anyways”. At some point in time, all the techniques, ideas & philosophies came from someone looking deeply within themselves and discovering - then passing on that discovery.

Some of the techniques in Zenthai Shiatsu have come from thousands of years of this. And if they weren’t effective… I don’t think they would’ve made it this far. And although it is very helpful to look back and receive guidance from those that have come before us, we don’t want to lose touch with the pulse of our own beating heart. We don’t want to get stuck in dogma and forget that practices need to evolve. We don’t want to forget that we each have something beautiful and unique to offer and that we each contain within ourselves the seed of new discovery. That there isn’t someone out there who ultimately knows better than anyone else.

My prayer is that we can all receive teachings with humility, awe, and gratitude from the humans that inspire us, and that we can do so with knowledge of our own, soft empowerment; with curiosity as to what special gift we have to give back to the evolution of it all.

🌸 Summertime 🌸

The roses have bloomed and the strawberries are ripe for the pickin'

Juicy red fruits that look just like the heart...
..The sun just about at it's peak expression

Perhaps if you've listened

You can feel the energies shifting?

The expansiveness seems to be replacing the rapid growth

Time begins to stretch

Celebration seems to ensue.

So tend to the heart

That sweet delicate part of you.

Eat up your bitters, and things that are red

Sing, laugh & play

Rather than striving to get ahead

Notice your boundaries and move with discernment

Protect, soothe, & open

Your heart is your emperor

Let it rest on the throne

Bow down in humble service

To spirit
