Sinking spleen Qi refers to an ENERGY deficiency in the body.

{I just love the English translations of some of these TCM patterns!}

Sinking Qi is a diagnostic term in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Two people in my practice came to me this week with this pattern of imbalance. So, I thought I'd share about it in case you or someone you care about might be dealing with this too. 

 These are some of the key symptoms of …

There have been times in my life when I was in a particularly vulnerable state. I have noticed that this is the time I often meet an angel on Earth. 

Nearly two decades ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had surgery and when I emerged from the anesthesia I found myself in acute pain. Right in front of me with the most soothing words of reassurance, an angel appeared - my post-op nurse. He told me he would immediately give me pain medicine. He empathized fully with me. His words were penetr…

My friend is going through a “course correction”, disguised as loss.

My dear friend Dan has been going through an agonizing breakup. For the first weeks he just sobbed and pleaded in all directions for it to not be so. 

My heart ached for him. I wished I could lift him out of his pain. 

But deep change, the metamorphic type, is painful. Think of what the butterfly and ladybug go through to become airborne. It’s a mysterious and powerful spiritual experience of thorough transformation.…

The importance of your child's creativity (as well as your own, by the way) cannot be overstated.

You can think of it like this,

When your child is creating, the billions of neurons and its many synapses in her brain are growing beautiful and wild...setting her up for a future that is bright with creative problem-solving, emotional and mental flexibility and a fluent language for speaking the Language of her Soul.

According to The Michael Teachings, a channeled system for understanding the human experience, each of us has an innate Essence Role, which is our primary "being-ness." It is through this perspective that we experience our life's lessons.

There are seven roles: Priest, Server, Sage, Artisan, King, Warrior and Scholar.

Our Role is with us throughout the series of lifetimes we experience on Earth. Therefore, it is a very prominent aspect of our Authentic Selves that can give us individual dire…

We have a wild story to share with you.

And yes, it's really about David Bowie speaking to us from the Beyond!

It goes like this:

Nicole walks into a Lovely meeting and her phone is playing music. 

I'm thinking "Cool, she's taking her jams wherever she goes like the old boombox days. Rock on." 📻

As we start our meeting Bowie's Black Star comes on. This is his last album, the one he made while he was facing death. It's wild and weird and bold and beautiful. 

"I love this album!" I say. An…

To my fellow moms who lean long into giving…loving too much?

Am I speaking to you?

I know we are a large tribe. Yet, we don’t always find each other for support. But boy, when we do it makes such a big difference. Even just one voice can reach us. Maybe this message will find you and give you a cradle of relief, of affirmation. I do hope.

My friend sent me a text recently saying that she had passed out and got a concussion during a long stretch (12 years) of her dedicated loving…
