    Dreaming Awakening

    10 years ago I was compelled to write the following story after a mystical experience, something I believe what all religions are written about… Having recently reread this story, and with it being a foggy morning (part 10) and Groundhog’s Day (part 3), I feel compelled to re-share this writing.

    Healing Through the Seasons: A Taoist Summer

    I used to suffer horribly from Seasonal Affective Disorder (it’s called SAD for a reason!). I dreaded every winter: its dark days, and the trees with no leaves. My Little Yoda wondering where the grass went Luckily, in my personal studies, I came across Ancient Chinese Taoism, and it made so much sense to me:…

  • Yoga for EDS? Is it Safe?

    Yoga for EDS? Is it Safe?

    Five years ago, I started the Facebook Page Yoga for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Fibromyalgia & Hypermobility, due to the lack of information on Yoga & EDS. Over the years there has been some growth in this field, but I’m still often asked: “I have EDS, and I just started yoga. However, I was told yoga is…

    Slow Down Fast Eater, Savor the Moment

    Anyone else follow Beth on her blog Tasty Yummies?! When I first became gluten free, her amazing recipes came to my rescue. With flair, she posts recipes tailored for her allergies and auto-immune disorder, but she has since become a certified yoga instructor and is now becoming a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner.

    The Worry-Less She, Happy-Lovely She

    The Worry Less She, Happy Lovely She While writing the following story, the letters “t wl shls” collected in the Title Bar. (A WordPress glitch if the author continues to type while it’s saving.)

    A Spiritual Journey of Healing

    A Spiritual Journey of Healing The following 10 part story is my personal account, rather a documentation, of the transformation I experienced during the year 2012. I had been blindly practicing Present Moment Awareness, picked up a daily yoga habit, and without a direct intention I metamorphosed from a “functioning-cripple” into an extremely Spiritually-in-tune being.…

    You’re So Thin! / You’re So Rude!

    “You Don’t Binge & Purge, Do You?” Yeah, that’s right. Someone asked me that question today. Third sentence in. Some lady had the right mind to ask this question today.
