People Pleasing: Doubting What We Know

July 12, 2012 by Emilah

A few months ago I wrote a blog entitled Putting Yourself at the Center which talked about the spiritual underpinnings of making choices in our daily lives that include our needs as well as the needs of others. I have been living and teaching these tenets for years, yet the tendency to put other people at …

Embracing Light: Having the Courage to Want

June 20, 2012 by Emilah

“What do you want?  If you don’t know what you want, be prepared to be depressed; it goes with the territory. Wanting takes courage.” —Marshall Rosenberg I’ve been playing around with wanting this spring and early summer; giving myself permission to want. I had forgotten how  empowering it is to want. To really listen to what …

Cultivating Compassion in Intimate Relationships: A Practice

April 2, 2012 by Emilah

I am in the middle of facilitating an eight-week series entitled Relationship Building: Strengthening our Families, Partnerships and Communities here in Albuquerque.  This past week we closed our circle with a variation on a Compassion Exercise from Avatar.  Participants enjoyed it so much, I though I’d share it on my blog.  So here it is! Special thanks to Rev. Jude …

7 Tips for Navigating Conflict in Intimate Relationships

March 1, 2012 by Emilah

I get suspicious of couples who say they never have conflict; that everything is always hunky dory.  The truth as I know it? Couples have conflicts.  More specifically, when the level of commitment increases in any relationship (intimate partnerships, friendships, even promotions at work), so does the level of conflict.  It’s often temporary, but it’s …

Putting Yourself at the Center

January 31, 2012 by Emilah

For the last 3-4 years, I have gathered weekly with a group of women for what the Nonviolent Communication (NVC) community would call an “Empathy Group”.  Essentially, we hold space for each other to explore what’s alive in us, name the universal needs that are not met, savor them, and allow strategies to emerge that …

Inch by Inch

January 17, 2012 by Emilah

I woke up this morning humming part of  The Garden Song by David Mallett – the closing song at Betsy’s memorial service.  The song describes how by taking small steps, mulching, weeding, etc., we can make our gardens fertile ground. Betsy, my mother-in-law, was deeply connected to nature.  An avid gardener and bird-watcher, she tended …

Winter Solstice: Light Emerging

December 20, 2011 by Emilah

Ok.  I admit it.  I LOVE the holiday season.  I mean really, really love it! I play Christmas carols and sing along, decorate the house, prepare a big Christmas dinner, snuggle by the fire with my sweetie and kitties, watch Miracle on 34th Street and other oldies but goodies.  We went to see A Christmas …

Flower Essences: A Tool for Easeful Transformation

November 23, 2011 by Emilah

I LOVE Green Hope Farm Essences! I discovered them in 2005 when I went to see Carolyn Calisto at the Blue Eagle Metaphysical Emporium for an Energy Balancing & Clearing session. At the end of the session, she sent me home with an energetic mist to spray on my body a few times a day …
