Intention & Truth

On November 29, 2018November 29, 2018 By EmmaIn Healing, November 2018 Writing Challenge, What's here now1 Comment

What is TRUE for me right now? I am grateful and in awe. I feel humble. Blessed. Powerful. Tuned in. I am amazed by life. It is a truly collaborative effort between me, and the force that brings all of my life to me. When I put intention into my life, my life changes. And …

Multitasking & Eating

On November 28, 2018 By EmmaIn Healing, November 2018 Writing ChallengeLeave a comment

Multitasking. We are all so used to doing it now, that I wonder if we forget what it is, and if it has settled into the collective blind spot.... Just a habit at this point, and one that we are training ourselves deeper into every day when we skip around on the Internet, or watch …

On Losing My Center

On November 27, 2018 By EmmaIn November 2018 Writing Challenge, Pages from my journal, What's here nowLeave a comment

How do I care for myself when I realize I've fallen off the course? I feel frantic now. Time slipped away from me again. I wasn't in my center. How long have I been away? Oh, sweet muse, won't you please guide me back home, back to myself? ... A remembering: I can't have the …

An Idea: Slow Writing

On November 26, 2018 By EmmaIn Healing, November 2018 Writing Challenge, What's here nowLeave a comment

One of the immaturities of my writing right now, I believe, is my impulsive tendency to rush right to the point. I think good writing is more patient than that. It's not about the end point. It's about the journey you went through to get there, both as a writer and a reader. I think …

On Pain and Real Healing

On November 25, 2018 By EmmaIn Healing, November 2018 Writing Challenge2 Comments

I have the utmost respect for the healer who helps the healing process unfold naturally, who is able to create and hold the space. Healing is a process that happens automatically when given the right kind of space. I see a toxicity in our modern understanding of healing, which is the application of medicine towards …

A thought about touch

On November 24, 2018 By EmmaIn November 2018 Writing Challenge, Pages from my journalLeave a comment

I've loved being around cats lately. I love touching animals who are receptive to touch. It opens up the part of me that wants to give affectionate touch. It opens me up to my ability to communicate through touch. This is a dimension I'd like to see expand in my life experience. Touch is healing. …

T Day Breakdown

On November 22, 2018November 23, 2018 By EmmaIn Healing, November 2018 Writing ChallengeLeave a comment

Today is Thanksgiving Day. My day officially started around 7:15am, when my dad, Aidan and I rolled out of the house to do the Turkey Day mountain bike ride. The turkey day ride is a Thanksgiving tradition for the large mountain biking community here. It's a long, hard 3 hour mountain bike ride through Marin. …

Hi friends, Happy Thanksgiving! My family celebrated today, a day ahead of schedule, because of my mom's work schedule. I did a lot of cooking and it all turned out well. Laughter and gratitude filled the air. All of the food and drink was delightful. Maybe the best part about Thanksgiving this year was just …

Unwinding

On November 20, 2018 By EmmaIn Healing, November 2018 Writing ChallengeLeave a comment

"Unwinding" is a great word to describe what happens when you've been holding on and finally get a chance to relax. My muscles are releasing. I am unfurling. The couch holds me. I am so tired and want only to sleep a long time. I'm a little upset about overbooking myself with the Thanksgiving cooking …
