The Pause that Refreshes

By -





We like to think we can “power” through our daily tasks, but our determination to get everything done might just make things feel even more chaotic.

Even though at first it may feel that if you keep your nose to the grindstone you will be able to accomplish all your goals, there is a huge possibility that you will be pushing through from your smaller, ego identified self and miss out altogether on the vast reservoir of inspiration and energy your Soul, or higher Self offers.You may find that working methodically, along with a deeper awareness of the flow of spirit running through you could be much more effective.


Should you feel pressure throughout the day and find that your life feels frenetic, you can take a short break to relax, relieve some of your internal pressure,and gain a larger perspective on the ways in which you work when linked with your inner resources.

Taking a short walk and getting grounded, sitting for a few minutes in meditation and resting in silence or in your heart, or doing a relaxing yoga pose while focusing on your breath could take your mind off of your work and help bring your focus within. Giving yourself time to recover your energy and calm your mind may make it easier for you to concentrate, access inspiration and make things feel less hectic.

Short breaks during the day are essential for maintaining our mental, physical, and emotional energy levels. If we simply power through our work, we may feel overwhelmed by all the things we have on our plate, which in turn makes it difficult for us to focus on our goals. Resting, however, lowers our level of frenetic energy and instead recharges us with positive energy. When we give ourselves breaks, we actually give ourselves the gift of healing, for we allow our bodies not only to recuperate but also to take in the curative energy of the universe. By letting yourself rest today, you will work with more focus, efficiency, and vitality.

Love, live & prosper!

The Chakra, the Kiss and the Connection

To Kiss or Not To Kiss, What's the Question? I was being interviewed for a " Kissing School!" video and the producer asked me, "are there different kinds of kisses?". My mind was instantly overloaded with images and I realized that there probably are as many kinds of kisses as there are intentions for giving them. The technique itself doesn't carry the kiss, it's the energy transmitted, the emotion or thought behind it that informs the kiss. The technique may translate the intention skillfully or not, but that's more a matter of finesse and perhaps even more the quality of presence within the act. Contemplating this later I started sorting out various roles that kissing plays in this culture by relating them to the qualities of energetic makeup represented in our chakra system. The language of chakras comes out of a mostly eastern vision of various psychic energy transformers within our bodies which we unconsciously use on a daily basis. To t

Excellent article on grounding/earthing!

Earthing by Hema Simondes There’s been quite a buzz recently among athletes and health enthusiasts, on how to more quickly and easily recover from acute or chronic inflammation and injury through earthing. The term ‘earth’ is used often in Europe and equates to what we also call ‘ground’ here in America. A ‘grounded’ human being is someone who is connected to and receives direct benefit from the infinite free electron source generated directly from our planet. We’re grounded when we hold the same electrical potential as the Earth’s surface. Electrons are absorbed or discharged via the skin, mainly through our feet in contact with the ground. This is an ancient and profound yet hugely common sense principle of well-being that’s currently resurging amidst enthusiastic stories of its success. It’s well accepted that electrical systems of our homes or sophisticated electrical equipment must be grounded to function safely and effectively. But how much have we considered th

To connect or NOT to connect...

I have the great privilege of talking about intimacy with lots of people, and I’m often heart broken by the number of people who readily acknowledge that their love life is mediocre, at best. Why? Why aren’t these lovers bursting full of heart and soul, radiating passionate life force? Why aren’t their days filled with the energy of love sweetly rushing through their bodies as they go their way? Why aren’t they swooning with inflamed hearts and bodies full of bliss hormones when they are together?? Painting by Arna Baartz Small beliefs, small experiences A distortion I often encounter is that people think the goal of sex is orgasm. Oh honey, there is sooo much more. Have we mistaken “technique” for connection? How often do you feel well and truly met? How often are you fully present and available to connect with your partner? There are realms of passionate energy that dwarf the experience of genital orgasm, or even whole body orgasm. And while orgasm, especially whole
