Summer Time (continuing from the last post 3 of 3) Questions to help clear possible obstruction to action-ability, creativity, and general flow.

1. Am I in a victim mindset? As I move through my day are there any stories that I hold, big or small, where I feel that something is happening to me? This could be as simple as the weather, the traffic, or an odd social interaction, or even greater such as the political climate, finances, a relationship, a workplace conflict, a health problem, a loss…

2. Can I shift my relationship to that story from “This thing is happening to me” into “This thing is happening for my learning?” The big stories that carry the most weight for me are usually the hardest to shift out from under, but I notice that just acknowledging the places I am stuck in victimhood still helps free up my nervous system. It alerts me that this is where I need to get curious and seek the help of others.

3. Can I commit to not using blame, shame, and fault-finding, but rather ask “What is my full responsibility - no more and no less - in this situation?” This liberates a great deal of wasted energy. It helps to identify the factors under my control so I can take action.

4. Do I feel like I am in a good place with my integrity? Are there any feelings around an issue that need to be felt through to completion? Am I clear on what the unarguable truths (facts) are, and how they differ from the stories (my thoughts, perceptions, and judgements) that I am responsible for? Am I holding back any of my stories that need to be said without my need to be right? Have I expressed a clear “yes” or a clear “no?” Do I have any agreements/vows (spoken or unspoken) that I have broken in the past that need mending? Are there any agreements that I would like to clarify or renegotiate? Am I taking full responsibility (no more and no less) for my part in the agreement?

Summer Time (part 2 of 3 continued from last post) Th Fire element is about things being expressed in their fullness, and that applies to ourselves as much as it applies to the season. Fire is about authenticity (am I being true to who I really am?) and sovereignty (am I owning my full power by accepting responsibility for my responses to situations in my life?). This can be easier said than done, but it has been my experience that a good question can be very potent medicine in this regard. A good question is something we can live in and re-ask ourselves at different points in our day or different points in our life, to check in on whether or not we are expressing our fullest, authentic self. I use these questions below as my daily tools for freeing up any stuck energy I have so I can experience more creative energy and more flow. I hope that they can be of help to you as well!

Summer Time (part 1 of 2 posts)
For me, July is all about that brilliant, shiny sunlight, river swims, and fresh peaches. Those early morning birds songs, prolonged daylight, warm evenings, and even warmer days. It’s being in the mountains with that spicy smell of earth and conifers warming up in the hot sun, letting us know that summer is here. My senses are humming with the season. Through the lens of traditional Chinese lifestyle medicine we see this season as an opportunity for the Fire element to be experienced in its fullest.

A healthy fire in the body and spirit seeks to liberate the authenticity of our Heart into our actions. The spirit of the season is about deepening our connections through a freedom to give and receive love, affection, laughter, intimacy, and play. This is an opportunity for us to renegotiate our obligatory relationships so we can move more freely from the heart, that saying “yes” from our own volition and not from “I should” or “I ought to.” This is a good time to get solid on what a clear “yes” and a clear “no” in the body feel like, and to have our words and actions match those felt energies. For me, a “yes” can be a tingly, excited feeling that makes me want to lean in and ask for more; it ignites my curiosity. A “no” in my body could feel like a small or large tension, a clenching or contracting, a moving away from something; maybe holding my breath, or maybe even just a flat feeling. Most importantly, it’s a commitment to feel our feelings, especially when decision-making comes up throughout our day. One practice that can help us learn to get more aware of what we are actually feeling in the body is breath work. Start with a nice, smooth breath in… hold… and a long, slow exhale out. Just notice the sensations in your body and in your mind during each of those stages. Notice where you are holding tension during your breath cycle, and observe what labels your mind is putting on those sensations.

Hello friends! If you could take one moment to sign and share this petition it would mean the world to many people who don't have the luxury of time. Unfortunately a loved one of mine was just recently diagnosed with ALS and to see this drug available to those in need sooner than later would be incredibly beneficial. I sure do appreciate your time. ;)

Many health-conscious Americans, in an effort to improve their eating habits, have switched to eating tofu in place of meat or eggs. The soy industry would have you believe that this is a smart move for your heart health, but in reality processed soy, which includes tofu, is not a health food. You a…
