Today marks the Autumn Equinox (for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere), a mysterious passage on the journey towards the light.

It is time to turn inward to seek the light of the sun within the quiet and sacred space of our own hearts. Let’s gather our resources, harvest our virtues and resolve to shine as bright and powerful as the sun even as it slips into its wintry domain.

Ignite the fire within…

– Tasha Jenny

For those of you in the southern hemisphere: Happy Spring Equinox!

Wherever you are:  Do not be indifferent to to your sky! The stars are the Eternal Force of Help and Support at your disposal! They are the Harbingers of the Creator’s Love for His Work!

What’s Most Important in a Relationship

Couple U

“Unless you love someone nothing else makes sense.” Anonymous

So, if you want to have a great relationship, what’s most important? What comes to mind? A large number of my patients might say, “good communication”. But, what do you think is foundational to having a healthy relationship with your partner?

My vote goes to freely loving and enjoying people. Think about it. You and I probably wanted our parents delighted interest in us from the day we were born. We still want  people’s eyes to light up when we come into the room. Just think about how small children and puppies respond to attention. We want to know that someone simply wants our presence; that they like being with us.

We want to be loved deeply; deep affection that leads to a person unselfishly acting in our best interests. Can you actually say that you don’t want this? I wouldn’t believe you if…

You Call This Communication? I Think, “Not!”

Couple U

Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill. Buddha

• “We need to talk.”
• “Why, we’ll fight?”
• “Just listen!”

Do any of the above sound familiar? Maybe you could add to the list? A lot of people come to my office saying they have a communication problem. They want to know their partner. They want to feel connected and loved.

Good communication means that you have a free flowing stream of shared experiences, feelings and information. In healthy relationships the best and the worse can be shared, accepted, and understood leaving behind a sense of being known, accepted and loved.

Healthy communication and emotional intimacy thrive in an atmosphere of trust and compassion. Remember,

Your partner moves

toward > pleasure and

away from < pain.

The person you love will

only want to talk

What’s Actually the Difference Between Mindfulness and Meditation?

MEDIC FINDER

The whole zen thing is really blowing up these days. It seems like everyone’s rolling out their yoga mats, Instagramming ?be mindful, be here now? messages, and drinking the metaphorical (green) Kool-Aid.
But just because wellness has officially reached the masses doesn’t make…

World’s Tallest Dog From Otsego Dies at Age 5

Be Still

Zen Flash

Be Still.
It takes no effort to be still;
it is utterly simple.
When your mind is still,
You have no name,
You have no past,
You have no relationships,
You have no country,
You have no spiritual attainment,
You have no lack of spiritual attainment.
There is just the presence of Beingness with itself.
