breathe in
Pull in love and light through the top of your head. Imagine it passes through your pineal gland, down to your heart, and out through your hands into your energy field.
Keep your energy field about 18 inches from your physical body.
Breathe. Rest. Relax.

clary sage and lavender
Had a psychic reading yesterday. Didn't plan on it, just happened.
Rose, the psychic, told me to spritz my office with clary sage and lavender essential oils. Clear and refresh the energies.
Went to work today. I knew I had an herbal spritzer in my desk drawer. Pulled it out and looked at the label. Lavender and clary sage.

guest
Had a houseguest this week.
An acquaintance of my sister, a Chinese student, currently studying in NYC. She came to see Maine.
I told her the name of every plant in my garden and took her swimming in a pond. We went to an assisted living facility and spoke with residents. She had a psychic reading. We shopped for locally made lotions and lip balms, gourmet food, and honey. We had soup and bread for lunch. We visited my friends and played with 7 Bernese Mountain puppies, a baby, and a toddler. She toured another garden. We picked blackberries and watched out for berry-loving bears. We watched my friend sew one of her famous hand-crafted purses. We went to Portland and ate lobster Eggs Benedict, loaded with fresh lobster, "pulled out of the bay yesterday." She met my younger son. We walked around the Old Port and Portland wharves. We saw yachts and fishing boats. We shopped. We walked around Fort William Park and Portland Head Light. That's a lighthouse. We saw the Atlantic Ocean: waves, rocks, and ocean birds. We walked and shopped in Freeport. We ate in good restaurants in Lewiston. She played the piano and toured my workplaces. We went to an art gallery opening.
She leaves tomorrow, back to NYC.

Sunday
Since I was up and restless I climbed a little mountain. Love the peace & quiet, the 360 degree views. Walked around a pond with ducks. Hot sun, fresh cool air.
Came home and picked a beet. Had fresh local organic free range fry up for breakfast. Sauteed onions and beet greens with boiled potato and beet, topped with a fried egg.
Balloons, a mountain, a beet. What else will the day bring?

whoosh
Woke to a roaring whoosh. A blast of air.
I knew what it was, so jumped out of bed and ran outside. Balloons. Hot air balloons. They floated over my house. The roaring whoosh was the air and flame: height adjustments.
The city's balloon festival is approaching, and people are are rising.

A good education provides a valuable and credible foundation for integrative practice.
footprint in time
Hi! How's your footprint in time?
I went to the beach today, the pond beach - not the ocean beach. Started clinicals early morning, worked til 3. Home, puttered in the garden, but was at the beach at 4:30.
Bliss. Sun, water, and pine trees. There were maybe 10,000 people at the ocean beach on Monday- a mostly cloudy day! And about 50 at my pond today. Quiet and sparse, just the way I like it.
And those 50 were mostly packing up and leaving when I got there, leaving empty expanses of sand and water. Singles and small quiet clusters of people. Wind, water, and sun.
I don't know how many people were at the ocean beach on Monday, but it was a lot. We sat in lines: shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip. There were strangers in my bubble. The motel manager told me that the population in the summer is 150,000.
So it was bliss at the pond. Big bubble, sun, and loons too. I got in the water and felt the hot sun on my back, the cold water swirling around my knees.
Then a family arrived. Three teen or pre-teen boys with floaty toys. Oh no, was my peace shattered?
Au contraire. I took great pleasure in their company. They were kind, playful, witty, and happy. They interacted joyfully. One brother appeared to have Down syndrome. So what? So maybe he taught his brothers compassion. I don't know. How would I know?
Anyway. I never talk to strangers. Wait, I talk to strangers all the time. Yes, for my job. When I'm off and off exploring or at the beach, in public, I never talk to strangers. Felt oddly compelled to speak to these people. Groan. How embarrassing.
I was cold and hungry. It was getting towards evening. I gathered up my things. The father glanced at me as I walked by. That was my cue. I was off on a rant...
"Hi, I'm a mother of sons and a teacher and I've worked at a teen camp and I just want to say that your boys are sweet and wonderful and so amazing and it's obviously great parenting."
He looked surprised and said, "Really? We were so sure we were bothering you. It was all quiet and then we came and they are so noisy and they splash around."
I probably repeated my first statement. Then I walked up towards my car and said the same thing to the mom. She said the same thing as her husband.
That's my footprint in the sand for today.

Healing Hands
Healing Hands class this afternoon with children and families. Brilliant T, an LCSW, led the class.
My boss, PD, told me to work more with children and families. I love to do that! Always welcome that opportunity. T & I offer this class twice a year. Would do more if local families requested and attended.
It's so empowering for kids. Reiki: everyone can do it. You can help yourself and your loved ones. It's comforting and safe.
T makes it fun. She has engaging interactive activities, and a guest speaker (me).
That's it. Healing Hands. I hope it helps. I love kids.

attractive brown bucket
Was pulling weeds. A bumblebee buzzed and approached. Usually they buzz and wander off. This one wanted to land on my right shoulder. Rabid bee? Attracted to my Reiki energy? I shrieked and ran off, shaking like a person with Tourette's.
Cautiously resumed. Same thing. Eeek! Times 2.
Grabbed my brown bucket and moved to another part of the garden. Again! Ok. Is it the lovely brown bucket? Does it look like a prospective abode? Or is it my alluring scent and physique? What is it about my right shoulder? So sorry, am not ready to host a new bee friend on my person. Am not that evolved. Maybe next year. Love you, but don't get in my bubble.
The brown bucket sits, abandoned, full of weeds. And me, bee-free.
