I am an author, teacher, and healer living in Durham, North Carolina, and I believe that living your truest life is a responsibility, not a frivolity. If we each work to discover our innermost guidance and follow it, our world will be more joyous. So, embrace your art, whatever it may be, for creativity is guided by the soul, and your creation may be another's inspiration. As a race of creators, rather than destroyers, perhaps we will come closer to the natural harmony of life on the planet. Visit me at: www.dragonflyenergy.blog
Here in North Carolina, spring is booming (and blooming). Daffodils are in full force, crocuses, red buds are starting, spring peepers are calling all day and night, turtles are roaming, and spirits are rising. My reading lately has inspired me to remember the oneness of all things. Stephen Harrod Buhner’s book, The Secret Teachings of … More Spring thoughts
We forget the reason for Halloween, All Hallow’s Eve, All Soul’s Day, All Soul’s Night, the Day of the Dead…all traditions that commemorate those who have died, those who may now be in spirit form. The traditional belief is that this night is the one time of the calendar year where the veil is thinnest, … More Halloween
My family of origin is fairly traditional. I grew up in the South in the United States, and in my schools and social circles, no one taught or discussed anything about shamanism, energy healing, the power of the mind, the invisible connection we all have to each other, to all of life, and to … More The dreamworld
A spiritual truth often repeated is that “we are all one.” We are connected, intertwined, one body. The feeling of separateness persists, however, and human choices the world over show that the belief in oneness is not a majority belief. We destroy forests, we murder, we steal, we act as if we have dominion … More Why oneness is obvious
Dr. Joan Vernikos, who spent most of her career as a NASA scientist helping astronauts understand and attempt to defy the aging effects of gravity, has written a wonderful book with a premise that could change the Western view of exercise, health, and aging. Aptly titled, Sitting Kills, Moving Heals, Vernikos explains that humans … More The anti-aging effect of gravity
I do not have the time to write a post today, though I have so many thoughts! On facebook today Caroline Myss wrote such an inspiring last paragraph to her post, I would like to share it here in the hopes it will inspire others in the way she has inspired me. Here, from … More Inspiration
An original and completely practical idea has surfaced in the health field. Clinton Ober has spearheaded the effort to get the word out about the benefits of connecting to the earth itself. His book, titled Earthing, is full of the science and the anecdotal evidence that shows that having a bare skin connection to the … More Earthing
If you follow my blog, you know that I have a keen interest in Bill Bengston’s research on energy healing. He has produced numerous scientifically sound experiments showing a 100% cure rate of mice injected with aggressive mammary cancer. For a more detailed description of his past work, please see my original post here, my … More Bill Bengston’s latest healing research
I’ve thought frequently about life and death. Certainly those of us who are alive face the inevitability of our body’s death at some unknown future point. But why? Why must our bodies deteriorate? Why must trees get old and die? Why must foxes slow in their speed and strength and new foxes come … More On life and death
I work with the Rhine Research Center as their magazine editor (Rhine Magazine). I am grateful for the interactions with intelligent, open-minded people who either work with or frequent this organization, one focused on consciousness studies. Several of us started an energy healing group about six months ago, and I’ve had the pleasant opportunity to … More On healing
