Distance Healing
“And God declares, I will restore you to health and heal your wounds…” ~~Jeremiah 30:17 A few months ago on the Blessings Blog, I started a conversation about distance healing. In the first post, I talked about science and research regarding distance healing. If you are interested, you can find that information in a post here. Several people have asked me about distance healing lately, so I wanted to post that article again here. If you would like to learn more about healing in general, I wrote an article for The Heroic Journal about the difference in healing vs....
Read MoreMeditation and Attention Span
Meditation is the tongue of the soul and the language of the spirit… ~~Jeremy Taylor I took this pic of the flowers with the small Buddha out at MABA, the Mid America Buddhist Association. It was a day of choosing focus and the flowers in direct focus with Buddha in the back seemed to capture if for me. MABA is a gorgeous place and one of many places in the St. Louis area to learn more about meditation. St. Louis offers meditation and prayer opportunities in nearly every faith tradition or practice, as do most cities. If you are looking for suggestions about places to check...
Read MoreLove is Kind
Love is patient, love is kind… It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres… Love never fails… And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ~~1 Corinthians 13 I thought a lot about those verses from 1 Corinthians the last week or so. They are often used at weddings as the example of pure love, of how we are to interact with another, but the full verse is the example of God’s Love for us. But I think they are also an aspiration for many of us, one that I don’t live out as well as I’d like, if I...

I don’t know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? ~~From The Summer Day, by Mary Oliver It’s a gorgeous here, an Indian Summer day that begged me to, as John Muir once said, “Grab a bag of tea and a loaf of bread and hop the...
Read MoreRest for your souls…
Stand at the crossroads and look; ask about the ancient paths, “Which one is the good way?” Take it, and you will find rest for your souls… ~~Jeremiah 6:16 I snapped this picture when we had just hiked over Skull Bridge, at the Continental Divide Trail (CDT) near Abiquiu, New Mexico. The Trail head is just over that bridge and heads south into the Rio Chamas Wilderness area, a gorgeous place no matter what time of year. I wrote about this trip recently in a post titled Smile at Fear; if you are interested, you can read that entry from the Blessings Blog here....
Read MoreThe Bridge, a Story about Consequences
“To confront a person with their own shadow is to show them their own light…” ~~Carl Jung This is a story about fear, about our choices and ultimately what we are responsible for in our lives…To what do we owe ourselves and the Other, whomever that may be? How do we face our fears? If you like this story and the following questions, I wrote a post on the Blessings Blog called Smiling at Fear, about how we face these choices and deal with these inevitable situations in our lives. If you are interested, you can find that here. I got this story some time ago from...
