love & healing.
A natural yogi. He asked me last week if he could come to my class. Claro que si. Of course I said yes. He lives in my town, Quimixto and has had pain in his back for the past ten years. He took a yoga class for the first time in PV a few weeks ago. Since the injury, this is the first time he has not felt any pain.
“The yoga works!” he exclaimed.
“Si, it does, doesn’t it?” I reply.
He had to ask...

I can see my parents at Whole Foods now. Hmm. I have a daughter. She’s into energy and...
ehi passiko.
My inner domains have been staging a protest.
Finally, my soul is free again.
Lessons in:
1. follow your gut 2. listen to you intuition and 3. never question your heart.
I’m always open to giving something new a chance. I’ll be malleable and renegotiate what I’m willing to compromise on. I’m willing to change and bend a little bit if that’s what’s needed for the bigger picture to expand. I’m...
on touching trees.
I met this guy who took me to the forest and taught me hatha yoga.
What?
I met this guy who took me to the forest and taught me hatha yoga.
Wait, I know. I heard you. What?? That is so cool!
Yeah, we started with trees. He told me “take your hand, touch this tree.” So I touched the tree. And then he said “ok, now touch this plastic.” So I touched the plastic. Then he said “ok, now touch the tree...
melting.
“What’s your favorite toothpaste?”
God I nearly cried.
Zaps to the heart are instantaneous. Automatic. When something is said or offered with heart, with pure intention, without any agenda, any projection, any sort of dirt- there’s this feeling, this energy, this dropping of tonal quality that happens that almost makes me feel like I’m melting. My heart feels held. It’s as if the action of purity...
conversations with frank & elise.
What was living in the 60’s like?
There’s tons of books about it…
I know, I’ve read them- but you’re the source. You lived it. What was it like?
Well there was a counter revolution happening. It was people asking “Why?” and it went from there. There was no more generic premeditated way of life. The 40’s and 50’s were now over. It was people like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Martin Luther King, The...

Have you ever seen a Magnolia seed? They’re beautiful. Upon birth they go through different stages of evolution before blossoming into a flower. Similar to the butterfly- each species has a gestation period of becoming before being. At full burst, the petals open, the wings expand- but only after the work has been done.
I found a baby Magnolia seed this past summer in front of Nature Mart. I’ve...

“I wrote in my journal this morning, ‘Today I came home and heard something go OOOOOHHHHHMMMM..’
and then I realized, oh that’s Chloe.”
“Ha ha ha! Yes that was me. I was OM-ing.”
“I figured.”
That’s my girl Alé. She lives in the flat on top of mine. Her father was really into Vladímir Lennon so he gave her three Russian names. Nadehzda y Carolina y Alexandra followed by her two surnames. In México...
to you, my friends.
I can only write about the current. It’s the only thing that really interests me. Going into the past takes some work. Being in the present is effortless. I find this as I am currently going into my old notes and sketchbooks for quote unquote, material.
Who really wants to go into the past anyways. It already happened, we know the outcome, it’s already been done. Especially if it was traumatic or...

I never know what day it is
and I haven’t quite figured out
how to be completely repulsive to the mosquitoes.
The 83 plus bites I have are just now starting to heal.
Quite the welcoming, huh?
The idiosyncrasies of my new home
are becoming more familiar.
I am starting to feel more stabilized.
These days I’m never fully quite clean.
If I am, it’s for 10 minutes or so after bathing.
It’s hot here,...
on judging.
So, someone comes to you, asks for your advice, tells you their story, you tell them what you hear, they don’t like it and then they say you’re judging them.
Oi. This is so confusing.
What does one do? All I can do is tell the truth, tell you what I hear. Give you a reflection of what is coming out of your mouth. If only people could hear themselves. Who am I to judge? I don’t have the time or...
book to read.
I just finished The Only Dance There Is by Ram Dass. This book came into my life at yet again, the perfect moment. I recommend this read to anyone who is engaged in the dialogue. Well, anything written by him really. He also has footage on youtube and downloads on his website. Enjoy!
conversations on meditation
What are you doing in meditation?
Mmm, just being with God.
What are you thinking about?
Nothing really- just being with my self, being with my energy, being with white light.
Ohh! For me I go into nature with my imagination and then that leads me to the white light.
Yeah, that’s perfect! That’s the space. Sounds like nature is your portal.
Yeah, but when I’m there,...
holistic healing
I heard that in France aromatherapy is covered in the country’s health insurance. I also heard in Canada that holistic healing and bodywork is part of their health care. Wow! I’m impressed. These countries are in tune and actually acknowledge the intelligence of the body’s innate ability to heal? Rad.
I’m really into aromatherapy. I use it in my sessions with clients,...
hands.
I love anything to do with hands.

2 weeks.
So what feels like a lifetime in Mexico has actually only been two weeks. It’s been kind of crazy the spectrum of extremes I’ve been dancing on. Ecstatic bliss to utter hell. Side by side, sipping tea, taking company. This moon cycle has been intense, no? There has been a lot of movement happening in nature- especially here with Hurricane Joba on the watch.
Living in the jungle is...
on the strawberry
The notion of painting is coming back to me. I knew it would eventually, but wasn’t really sure on when. I haven’t been able to even go near my brush. It’s sitting there, I can see it right now- next to my favorite pen and some colored markers. I guess the fact that I’m ready to go back to it means I’m healing. The thing behind the brush isn’t a thing anymore. It’s funny the duration of...

Lightworkers gotta stick together. We’re all on the same team.

Steve Jobs chillin’ in Padmasana, full lotus seat. One of this century’s greatest leaders. Thanks to his vision and life’s work, look at all we have gained. Thank you Steve Jobs, for living..
Nezahualcoyotl
My friends here just made me hip to this king, Nezahualcoyotl. He’s my new favorite dude. Known as a sage, philosopher, warrior, architect, poet and ruler of the city-state of Texcoco in pre-Columbian Mexico. He was the only king who refused for animal sacrifices during times of ritual and ceremony. Instead, he offered butterflies and amaranth. I just ate amaranth for the first time the...
justicio
passive resistance with love against all that is unjust.
for realz though, it’s the only thing that works.

Full Moon is on Tuesday. We’re all waiting for her. It’s nice to live in a community of people who are so respectful of la natura and follow her guidance. It’s made me up my own level of consciousness and acknowledgement for her. I used to be able to pick flowers and leaves off their branches, but now when...
