Vipassana: Musing on Pain and the Brain at a 10 day Retreat
The Meditative Monkey is back with more Monday musings… if I can watch my body and notice the changing sensations and also watch my chattering mind… who the heck is THE WATCHER?
Shake and Bake 67: Clear Sailing?
My wee life/work check-in – featuring Tom Russell’s fabulous song for Edith Piaf. It’s called “Chocolate Cigarettes” and it just might crack yer heart open. Go easy ~p
Vipassana Baby-steps – Valuing the Experiential and Keeping an Open Mind
Installment Four of my Musings on Meditation – a bit more on the value (for me) of practicing vipassana and some discussion of things raised at the retreat that… gave me pause. And… just maybe… a wee insight found.
Shake and Bake 66 – Leaping under the Full Pike Moon
My wee life/work check-in – featuring “susurrations” – a video poem by on of my Soul Sisters – the fierce and lovely Lia Pas.
Vipassana: Into the body – out of the mind
Part Three in my musings on Meditation – a look at working with the body in meditation takes a left turn into… healing from past traumas… a little Good Will Hunting… a little Indigo Girls… and a little of me…
Shake and Bake 65: The FishWish Edition
Marking the First Quarter of Pike Moon – I continue to trudge ahead with reVisions of the new novel. Confessing the difficulty of taking tiny steps when I want to LEAP ahead. And tomorrow…. I’m g’wan fishing. Wish me LUCK?
