Posted on December 16, 2012 by jenny

Driving back from the dentist, I thought about what Harvey Cox said, that he had conversations with Jesus.  So I asked, and immediately Jesus was in the passenger seat.  I asked what I should do about the situation with my … Continue reading →

The session with Caryn was pretty amazing.  This is where Somatic Experiencing becomes shamanic work.  I wedged my self into my corner and started crying.  I told her about being depressed again again, waking up OK only to lose it … Continue reading →

Dakota 38

Posted on November 9, 2012 by jenny

Dakota 38.  I’ve seen it four times, and I’m still speechless.  It’s been very healing for me.  Jim Miller and the other older men showed me what “elders” look/feel like when they are men. I’ve known some women that I … Continue reading →

Vision for the Planet

Posted on September 19, 2012 by jenny

I created this vision back in March, when I was very discouraged about the state of the world.  My understanding of how to manifest a vision came from Robert Fritz.  If you hold the vision, and hold a clear picture … Continue reading →

Tracy Nelson

Posted on September 14, 2012 by jenny

This is via a group called Christians Tired of Being Misrepresented.  I really like what Tracy has to say.  She’s talking about the Jesus I believe in, even though I’m a Buddhist and a Pagan.  I firmly believe that Jesus … Continue reading →
