Both/ And (an expansive guided imagery exercise)

What would happen if we didn’t have to choose? What If we held dichotomous thoughts and feelings, equally weighed, in both hands? I find that when I let go of an EITHER/ OR stance, and hold seemingly dichotomous thoughts and feelings in a BOTH / AND position, I become more. It’s an expansive practice.

Fall into Yourself

Falling has more than one meaning. The leaves in Vermont are falling. This winter, someone will be falling on ice. Maybe I’ll be falling in love. I often feel I’m falling from grace. Time and time again, when I remember to breathe, to allow, to come back to peace - I fall back into myself.

That’s part of the complexity of life and death – of grief – of Spirit – of love.
