Past life as a fairy, part 2

Fairy tree in the Park

In 2009, I wrote a blog post titled Past Life as a Fairy and I have had 680 views of that post. More people have looked at that writing than anything else that I have written. I find that amazing.
I really do believe in fairies and I also believe that that they are very sensitive.  Sometimes, when I am in my garden  I see a movement out of the corner of my eye or when when I am on walks, I will spot them in trees. Can you spot the fairy in the photo?  It was taken on a cloudy day when I was walking in Colonial Park about a month ago.

Wobbling

As we explore doing things from our heart instead of our head, there is going to be some wobbling. During my personal training session at NYSC ( New York Sports Club) yesterday, Mike Tjo, described the wobble that happens when you do a new exercise. As I understood it, it takes awhile for the mind and the body to adjust to doing  something new and there is a wobble or jerkiness as the body learns how to do it.

What's under obligation?

As a followup to the last blog, if we are going to make clear headed decisions than it is important to figure out what is under  our sense of obligation. Obligations protect us from creating upset and it allows us to be safe go under the radar. I wonder if you are noticing that there are  many people now that actually love challenging the status quo.

Healing is on the front burner right now.

I woke up to a rainy dark November morning and realized that it was time to walk my talk. Actually, it is time for all of us to be the change that we want to see in the world. For several weeks,  I have known intuitively that the issues that are surfacing right now are extremely  important to us.

Better Sleeping for All of Us, From Babies to Adults

First of all, I think that sleeping is tricky. There are so many studies about the epidemic of poor sleeping. As adults, we are supposed to sleep between 7-9 hours a night and yet most of us do not get 6 hours of sleep.  There are a number of causes that  include but are not limited to: too much worry, technology, light stimulation, caffeine and sugar. and not enough of the outdoors.  Truly, how can we expect our babies and children to sleep better than we do.

Trust Yourself

I will shortly have two different blogs. One that will focus upon parenting and this one will continue with  unusual and sometimes out of the box  musings  on day to day things.
Sometimes, I sit still enough and can hear my unconscious talking to me about what to write . Today was one of those fortunate days.

Intentional Parenting

Why am I so interested in parenting? I have always believed that we have at least three choices as a parent. We can do it the same way as our parents, we can do it the opposite way or we can make our own choices. Over the 30 plus years in my practice,  I have noticed that  most parents choose to do it either the first or second way. Usually, by the time we become a parent, we are so  sleep deprived and working  so hard to keep our children safe and healthy that we don't have time to think about choices.
