A bunch of us were hiking in Sedona the Monday after TCA last September. It was a gentle yet powerful walk along Oak Creek. Just after the trailhead, there is a small cave, and we stopped in before returning to our cars. The resonance inside is exquisite, so we started toning. And toning naturally led to OVERtoning. Some of us had done it before, and some were new. So I did an impromptu crash course. This video records our initial explorations as the whole group tries to get the hang of it. Those moments where it came together were really… Read More
Connective Tissue Trust

Trust I received the following from energy healer Daniel Kalatsky after reading Taijiquan: Through the Western Gate. I appreciate his insights and want to share: Your book has been amazing. Deepest gratitude to you. You have opened new doorways of awareness that are breathtaking. The awareness of the connective tissue and its function physically as well as its energetic mirror are invaluable to any bodyworker. It also conveys a deep universal truth of Trust. The connective tissue represents physical unity. It cradles every aspect of our bodies. When we enter… Read More

“As long as you don’t forgive, who and whatever it is will occupy rent-free space in your mind.” — Isabelle Holland Forgiveness is one of those heavily charged words. Somebody done you wrong, hurt you bad, and your mind just can’t move past it. “I feel so betrayed/disappointed/let down!” You feel perfectly justified in tarring everything with that particular brush, even if it makes you feel terrible.For some people, of course, this is a tried and true strategy for controlling others.

Coherence and Resonance

Coherence and resonance are two related terms that sometimes are confused. Coherence refers to the degree of unity within a particular system, like a car or a human body. How much wholeness is present? Resonance is the degree that one system vibrates with another. Do they cooperate or fight? Both are terms that are helpful in describing whether things are coming together or splitting apart. Any living creature can be said to be coherent just because it is alive. It has wholeness, existence as itself. None have absolute coherence. They are more or less coherent moment-by-moment. When highly coherent there… Read More
