Identity is important. It’s how we express universal anam out into the world. What we believe we are is the lens through which universal Spirit is shared. I have struggled with identity as a witch for a long time, because as much as it seems to fit, it’s never been quite right. Learning to pronounce Gaelic words opened the door; I am Bandraoi.
Read MoreAncestral karma and healing is required for European settlers on Turtle Island. If we can heal the trauma and shame unrecognized by our ancestors, we can form powerful alliances with Indigenous peoples to protect the land, water and air and demand equitable and honourable share of resources.
Read MoreBraitheann Anam is a free downloadable worksheet to help us practice our empathetic communication muscles. Step by step focus helps us connect and recognize the body responses to spirit.
Read MoreReconnecting to Celtic culture has disconnected me from identity as “White”. “Canadian” is close behind as a created identity that erases the reality of all the pain and trauma endured to get to this place.
Read MoreReconnecting to Celtic culture on Turtle Island. This was a life-changing mystical event.
Read MoreLearning to love myself as I am means trusting my natural expression of self and owning my own gifts. “Living a Life that Matters” made space for an Alter Ego event to reclaim previously repressed and denied aspects of ourselves. Loving myself as I am means loving all of me - even the ugly selfish parts
Read MorePicking out the glass in the grass of the ground that I was raised in. So many false stories I made up to explain cruelty and abuse. I wish my parents had gone to therapy.
Read MoreI’ve been doing anger instead of feeling fear and missing opportunities left and right because of it. Anger is always a defence against the truth. What do you use anger for?
Read MoreYou’re exactly who you need to be. You are exactly who you’re supposed to be and who you are is loved and loving and perfectly right and good for the world.
Nice is bullshit. Where I talk about equality and my ideal of social democracy and how the predator class has been f*cking us all for far too long.
Read MoreOur happiness and wholeness is directly related to our personal relationship to divinity - in whatever way we conceive of that. Every living thing has a relationship to the whole regardless of what they call it.
Read MoreI get emotionally triggered by some crap and then I have realizations and grow as a human being. You know, a Thursday.
Read MoreThings are crackling. I’m stirring the sh!t and sharing it with you. I made a new thing and I’m sharing it with you. I’m making myself laugh and I’m sharing it with you.
It’s the holy sh!t baby.
Read MoreThe sh!t we try and hide blocks our Freedom and Expression of Self. What I fear is the rejection of myself as a fat woman. I have projected that fear onto others and used it as an excuse not to be seen or share joy and delight with the world. My bad.
Read MoreWe're often much harder on ourselves than we are on other people. Think about how you speak to yourself, and what you expect from your own performance in life, at work, with friends, colleagues and loved ones. In contrast, imagine a friend or loved one in the same situation and compare how empathetic, supportive and understanding you would be and how easy it would be to suggest self-care and rest. We never do that for ourselves, and it's critical.
Read MoreWe strive to be awake and aware in all areas of our life: conscious of our thoughts, our words and our actions. We strive to be conscious of our body that moves us through this world, and the Beloved Earth that sustains us.
Read MoreMaybe you can guess where this is going.
Essentially, I’m overturning everything in my life that is impeding my experience of embodying Beloved Presence in my life…
so OUT with the emotional shit!
OUT with the wrong beliefs and misconceptions and the false stories…
Read MoreHave the courage to be who you are at the cor(e). Not everyone in our life wants us to fulfill our dreams, so don't give up and don't take no for an answer on your quest to connect to Beloved Presence and follow your path. Seek to master new tools to find your way on the path. Remember the First Truth and never, ever, apologize for who you are.
Read MoreJust as we own our own Holy Sh!t, we honour the Holy Sh!t in others. We are all walking the healing path - whether we choose it consciously or are completely unconscious, we all have Holy Sh!t to heal.
Read MoreHoly Sh!t is the holy work we do in this life to become aware of and shift the blocks held in the body that interfere with our ability to connect to Beloved Presence and live from the fullness of love and inclusion.
The blocks can be inherited, come from wounds and trauma in this life, misunderstandings or misaligned beliefs we have about Beloved Presence, ourselves and our place in the world. There are plenty of ways to be wounded. Most happen in our childhood family of origin and then are immediately frozen or buried deep so we don't have to feel or process the painful event. The earth offers us the great service of holding those wounds and allowing the energy to continue to flow so we can live and grow and participate in our lives.
