Un-Decapitating the Moment

How easy to be distracted into the thinking mind and neglect the integration of body•mind. To be split. Recently, reminding myself that I am in a body•mind•emotion•spirit relationship of self-discovery, self-healing and self-mastery. My practice is to be aware of body sensations and stop in the moment of “disconnect” from my body; remove the distraction […]

Cravings in Body | Mind | Emotion | Spirit

Being the extreme introvert that I am; I am adapting into a world of extraverts. I am in a great place of purpose – stepping onto the stage to be revealed and seen. Right now, DramaDogs does THEATER is what I am doing to compensate for my intense desire to hide into myself. On stage […]
