• Finding Our True Heroic Selves!

  Healing is all about digging deeper and deeper and looking into the shadowy corners to shed light on everything and create healing.  Today I did some more digging.  What I found may resonate with someone out there. I woke feeling stressed again.  “Why do I feel stressed?” I wondered.  “Time to focus,” I sighed. “How […]

• Do Ya Ever Just Not Wanna Get Outta Bed? “Focusing” Will Tell You Why.

  That’s how I felt this morning. I was rested but just didn’t want to face the day.  There was nothing pressing I had to do for anyone else, but I felt stressed and awful! I decided to do the focusing meditation Tom Brown Jr., my teacher at Trackerschool, taught me, to separate the individual emotions that […]

• About Michele

  At this point in my journey I believe the most important thing we gain in this life is our relationships. This means connecting with others. Not only with other people, but with everything that exists. I know this probably sounds a little “woo woo” but I guess I am a little woo woo. Lol! To […]

• Conversation With Darkness
