Tuning In: March 2024

3/1/2024

0 Comments

 
Each month I post an update called Tuning In on what I'm up to and content I would like to share with you. Most of the links on this post are informational, but a few are affiliate links to help maintain this website.

The Spring Equinox is on March 19th. The time to reemerge from the quiet introspection of winter and as Rumi says, "Shake off your thought wings, loosen your shoulders, and open." In spring the trees bud and flowers blossom, we can follow their lead and come into our own in the same way. 

​Everyone has a place. If you spend your time imitating and comparing there will be no one to hold your place. When you are not your true self, it leaves a void no one else can fill. Even if you try, you will never be like anyone else, so you may as well be you. The world needs you to fill the you-shaped space.

Somatic Transformation Book Club: Feeling & Knowing: Making Minds Conscious by Antonio Damasio

"In recent decades, many philosophers and cognitive scientists have declared the problem of consciousness unsolvable, but Antonio Damasio is convinced that recent findings across multiple scientific disciplines have given us a way to understand consciousness and its significance for human life."

Book Club: Tom Lake by Ann Patchett 
​

"In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew."

​(I'm a proud member of the sloth reading club, so what I'm reading will not always change monthly)

​Encouragement: Learning to accept yourself as you are allows you to connect to others in an authentic way. Just another reason to do the hard work of self-love.
