This morning, a person suffering from Long Covid – an instance where the Coronavirus becomes deeply embedded in the individual’s body – presented with extreme anxiety.

But sometimes, it is good to take more time, to go deeper, to spend time with your loved ones so that relationships are fresh and alive and not running on AI.

I often tell my clients that we spend too much time up in our heads in modern life, not fully present in our bodies and the full range of sensory experience. As we juggle work, family and a seemingly endless to-do list, we often rush through our lives without stopping to see the beauty that …

Mental Health Day in the Snowy Mountain Paradise – Mount Teneriffe

Blog 2022, Environmental Healing, Hiking, Mind Body Medicine, Peace / By

Last week, this body was enduring pain due to too much heavy lifting and gardening. A little secret – a good long walk naturally adjusts the spine, bringing it into alignment.  As usual, I always check the forecast before heading out into the mountains – morning showers in North Bend.  Not too bad I figured …

Precious Human Life Twenty Twenty Two

Blog 2022, Mind Body Medicine, Peace / By

This human life is incredibly precious, though we often take it for granted.  From a Buddhist perspective, our experience in life – happiness or suffering, success or problems, sickness or health, begins with our own mind – the seeds of karma we’ve planted in this and previous lives on an infinite journey across time and …
