We didn’t have as much time to share the many different ways of grounding, so here is a list to get us started: feel your feet / seat / whatever is touching the surface supporting you basic grounding / rooting meditation balancing between heaven and earth G.A.P. (grounded, aware, present) Read more…
Last month I had everyone “turn inward, ground, and center.” I purposely did not give instructions on how to do this, because I wanted everyone to instinctively figure this out for herself and experience what that felt like without any conceptual clutter. This month, however, I felt it was time Read more…

[For my Dreamers & Schemers]
A lot of people ask me how I get my meditation and yoga practice “off the mat.” Today provided a really good occasion for me to break down exactly how I do this multiple times throughout my day, and for that I’m truly grateful. This story really begins late last night, when I went to bed already concerned about whether or not I would attend both my morning aerial hammock conditioning and my afternoon flying trapeze class.

This is a tool that I recently got from my spirit guides as a way to kick off my new year. It is an exercise in drawing your boundaries, holding the energy of your values steady, and infusing your life (or any aspect of your life) with that energy. Here Read more…

I’d been doing a version of these minutes in our private Google group, but today I woke up and felt like blogging. It’s been months since I’ve been compelled to write, so I’m gonna roll with it. Running Dreamers & Schemers is one of the best things that I do, so it’s really a pleasure to be able to share this work a bit more publicly. I link to the worksheets for each exercise, but these are password protected and limited to monthly subscribers in order to keep conversations private.
In our first gathering of 2017, we welcomed four new members to Dreamers & Schemers! You can tell I was really wrapped up in getting everybody settled in because this is the very first time EVER that I’ve been remiss about taking a group photo.
Our lovely host, Jasmin, took the time to set up the space and fill it with all kinds of nourishing and healing elements for all our senses. Check out her “nourish bar”! And take special note that she has laid out three different colors of apples because, as she put it, it’s important for food to appeal to the eye, as well as the taste buds.
Our #hostesswiththemostest, @senorita4. So much #gratitude to her for preparing such a beautiful, welcoming space. #dreamersschemers
Everyone I’ve ever encountered who discusses “home frequency” treats it as if we each have only one frequency we call home. Even if we think of this (as intuitive healer Penney Peirce does) as “the highest, most natural personal vibration you can attain,” or the feeling of “soul-in-body,” I personally Read more…
You can jump right into this exercise or walk yourself through any other steps you like to take when you “turn inward” (centering, grounding, releasing, etc.). Imagine a gold sun about a foot above your head. Imagine that it’s magnetic and it’s calling back your energy from all corners of Read more…
[Again, for my Dreamers & Schemers]
The practice of keeping a question journal has transformed my approach to life in so many ways. Not only does it strengthen my ability to open to receive, but at its very root, this work supports my intention of approaching life as eternal inquiry.
I used to think it was a terrible thing that I was full of questions, because to me having lots of questions about my life meant I lived in confusion, lack of knowledge, and disconnection. But now I see what I have always known in my academic/professional life: It isn’t about having the right answers, but knowing how to ask productive questions. (more…)
