Finding One’s Mate

Not so easy sometimes After all is said and done much of our work is about finding something: finding peace, work, love, lost objects, pets, healing, vision, mission, career, self, True Self, the God Seed and maybe just finding a good place to eat, finding is a serious human skill. Our attention, however, is soContinue reading “Finding One’s Mate”

The Power of Ceremony

Circle People who Make Ceremony– the Circle, the Four Elements, the Roles and the Purpose – exercise some control over their lives and find a place to help community/family do the same. We can dazzle you with all kinds of evidence behind that statement, but there’s nothing like you finding out for yourself. OurContinue reading “The Power of Ceremony”

Intentional Breathing: Part 2, Expanding

Applying What You Already Have If you read our last installment you know we’re spreading awareness about using the power of intentional breathing without religion. Nothing against religion, but that’s not a commitment one needs to make to enjoy the benefits of focused breathing. It’s an inherent human ability.

HEMP FACTS

Perhaps a Little Clarity The healing use of hemp and marijuana has been in cultures across the world for ages. Unfortunately, what happens among the people and what governments say happens are many times quite different.

Altar Work: The Moon and the Jaguar

Earth Medicine Over the years the altar has gone from bare essentials to overstocking, everything from statues and crosses to feathers and stones.

It’s an altar because we needed a spiritualContinue reading “Altar Work: The Moon and the Jaguar”

FINDING, a basic human skill

Today: a most important human find, the True Self We came to realize at our little altar that much of or work with has to do with finding something: finding peace, work, love, lost objects, toys, gadgets, healing, vision, mission, career, self, the God Seed or maybe just finding a good place to eat, findingContinue reading “FINDING, a basic human skill”

Ceremony

Can Making Ceremony Help? Most of us are familiar with ceremony from being raised in a religious background, a military organization, and so forth. Whatever our upbringing may be, ceremony is available, and in some cases required. A human thing. Unfortunately, many of us, at least in my generation, see ceremony as empty and hypocritical.Continue reading “Ceremony”

Intentional Breathing: Meditation Myths

You know what they say about “Using It.” No breath, no life. Without breath we can’t solve problems, can’t love, eat; you could not even come to a death anymore. Very simple, isn’t it? Science. Breathing has a lot to do with everything and anything. Then why don’t most of us use the power ofContinue reading “Intentional Breathing: Meditation Myths”

Altar Work: The Limpia

We make art of life in the sacred hoop. We inherited that mission through a small slice of the Toltec tradition that came through ancestral inheritance and the experience that life on Earth gives us all. It is the foundation of our altar work (trabajo). By the time Cortez came to Mexico my ancestors, theContinue reading “Altar Work: The Limpia”
