Finger Scissors Here is a Gallbladder and Colon meridian disentangling exercise for people who are really not sure about the difference between their rage and their shit, and they don’t want to fling shit at somebody when they are angry. I learned this back when I was obsessed with what I called meridian entanglements, or…
Safety in Treating Anger What is healthy anger? It’s something that can get very politicized, very tangled into other agendas. I’m wanting to make it clear that being right and being healthy are two different things. You can be totally right, and having a stroke. You can be totally right, and acting out in ways…
The Art of Waiting I love spending the first moments of a workshop waiting. For people who haven’t waited with me before: I really noticed how completely I could destroy my health while waiting. The winds that would come up, the dust devils, the incredible things that would happen to me while waiting, that were…
Anybody know any waking up songs? I know a lot of lullabies to help people go to sleep. But what are the songs for waking up? “You can get it if you really want…” That’s a good one. “Oh, what a beautiful morning.” Exactly. There you go. That’s so good. Because, you know, “They say…
What is an Acupuncture Point? As I understand it, how acupuncture works is that each point is like a well, or a note, a sound, or a bell that holds a deep truth about the nature of life. Then, by resonance, life experiences that are relevant to that deep truth about life tend to fall…

Between winter solstice…

Healthy Certainty Not Knowing Not knowing is a skill. We can not-know in ways that destroy us. We can not-know in ways that just keep the balance. Or we can become spiritual athletes of not knowing. That’s the Path of Endarkenment. I’d love for you to take the time to notice, compassionately, from whatever your starting point…
Why is Thea Elijah always holding a rubber chicken? I often teach holding a rubber chicken in my hand, and gesture with it as I speak. I tell people that the rubber chicken is my shamanic power animal, and that its spiritual power is the willingness to risk awkwardness or even absurdity in the name…
