Greetings ,
Two hummingbirds hover six inches apart from each other above the vegetable garden. Mirroring each other, they swoop and fly in unison. Their resonance is heart-stoppingly beautiful. Their
harmonious mating dance brings me right back into the present moment.
It's very challenging to stay present in these times! Our emotions are like a see-saw in response to the stresses of climate shifts, world events, and the separations that are challenging civic
discourse. Some days I know I am on my path. Other days I feel overwhelmed and uncertain: am I doing enough to live sustainably, offset carbon, and shift the political landscape? Am I sharing my love, compassion, and wisdom in ways that help others?
It's at times like these that I go to a tree to ask for advice. Yesterday the tree reminded me that the world is larger than our worries.
Gifts like the hummingbird dance, and the fox story that follows, are one way I keep myself in balance. Nature grounds us and expands our view beyond the "small self" or ego that so often rules our
despair and fear. So this is a reminder: get yourself outside!
Twice we've seen our native grey fox napping in a Blue Oak tree at the front entrance to our home. It's incredibly exiting, and a reminder that we coexist with many creatures, mostly unseen. The fox's
presence says "This is my place, I know where you are. I'm not afraid. I'll be cautious when you humans are too active around me, but otherwise I'm going back to my nap."
Another way of returning yourself to harmony and balance is engaging with
sami—the animating essence that feeds your luminous and physical body. I shared five ways to do that in my last blog, Five Ways to Return to Harmony.

Qigong is one of the practices I use regularly to keep in balance, and Mingtong Gu, one of the foremost modern masters of Qigong in the West, is a radiant teacher.
If you are dealing with a physical or emotional challenge, a spiritual disconnect, or just want to feel good and be healthy and fulfilled, check it out.
Mingtong will show you how to work with these practices, which combine movement, meditation, and sound to help you get to the roots of your energy imbalances and make a deep shift.
You can register here.
Pure Consciousness Qigong allows you to connect with your physical body and your energy body, addressing energy blocks at the source and breaking through the mind’s habitual conditioning. As you clear energy patterns that create
physical and emotional stressors and dis-ease, you open to a greater capacity for healing, creativity, and spiritual awakening.
As a visionary in these challenging times, you’re being called to be your most inspired, prosperous, connected, happy, and healthy self… open-minded and spirit-filled…
Intuitively, you know you must evolve into your deepest, truest state of self-actualization, because real-world change demands your highest potential.
In the Visionaries Global Summit, December 3-5 — a free online event in which acclaimed teachers, leaders, and change-makers will guide you to step into your true power and connect with a global wave of transformation.
Join 35+ visionaries — including Michael Beckwith, Matthew Fox, David Gershon, Dereca Blackmon, Jeffrey Smith, Amandine Roche, Claire DuBois, Philip Hellmich in speaking truth to power and standing boldly in their commitment to
a better world. They carry the message of love and justice — refusing to back down because they know change isn’t only possible, it’s necessary. Register here.
