Holistic counseling practice since 1987
Our recently unleashed COVID-19 pandemic universe which, in a matter of days, has swept away Life As We’ve Known It – never before experienced in pretty much any of our lifetimes – is more than anything a call for courage. It is a time to understand and newly create the Courage to Be
We are our choices.
Our lives are the history of our choices.
Happy, fruitful heroic adventuring! I believe our times demand it . . . “Be the change you wish to see in the world” – Gandhi
Giving thanks is the directive – and acknowledging the abundance and gift of our blessings to survive, sustain and share. In our most troubling times I believe this holiday in particular spiritually offers us a great deal toward self-healing, development, empowerment, and most of all universal caring without condition and without fear, to truly create and support all of our greater good…In that spirit I want to share what I brought forth as the workshop focus in my women’s self-healing and empowerment monthly group meeting last week on exploring the larger meaning and opportunity of blessings for success and higher power for all. Here are the steps…
We are witnessing the opening of our basest, undeveloped, freaked out, regressed, dysfunctional selves in our country – and there’s hell to pay for us all. “Bad karma” would be the phrase for this, with suffering, expanding conflict, racism, expanding greed and economic disparity . . . can we allow ourselves to go backwards in a world that is primed to go forward and take us, whether we like it or not, along with it?

We are all heroes, say all great ancient spiritual traditions, or we wouldn’t be here adventuring and evolving on the earth plane.

Look as hard as you can, take as long as it takes to be hopeful about as many things as you can sincerely acknowledge in your life – is my sincere and heartfelt wish for you this year that’s almost ended, to birth what is new for all our greater good – Namaste, Marjorie
In spiritual terms all change is about more greatly finding yourself and seeing the truth about the world you live(d) in. These two results reshape you to “meet”, through your life’s journeys, your truly desired “change(s).
What are the Keys to Right Relations? Do you experience right relations in your life … romantically, within your family, your work, your community? Relationships change, sometimes in a moment, sometimes through an entire lifetime. Are there simple, key tips for you to have right relations – and know when they’re not? Here are five …
I have facilitated ongoing women’s self-healing and spirituality groups since I started Centering Tools in 1987… I asked the group to consider, as we move towards…the full holiday season, this deeper meaning of gratitude beyond the increasingly popular practice and belief that “thanking” involves “focusing on the (judged) good”, but to instead meditate on how to thank everything without denying all that occurred as a key aspect of completion for healing and necessary development.
