Captured Moments

Our human system; physical, emotional, sexual, mental and intellectual may experience trauma, hurt, abuse or neglect, etc., and we may find ways to begin the healing process as a result.  There are many pathways towards that healing.  Therapy, sound healing, meditation, yoga, working with a healer, finding a spiritual teacher, doing deep relaxation, Reiki, etc. As Albert Einstein taught us, when we have used one means to have created the problem, we will need another means to heal it.  This is when our Own Inner LIGHT comes in. Within us, and around us, there is a LIGHT that shines. We may have forgotten that LIGHT exists because we have been programmed and conditioned to just use our conscious mind to think. But  that LIGHT is there and it can be accessed, communicated with and understood.  OUR LIGHT wants us to grow, heal, expand and collaborate with it to become much more aware and conscious of all of who we are and what we are capable of in life. When our hu...

We can be 'con artists' of our own destiny when we engage in deception.  Looking deeper, we can see that deception comes from our own deep ego  desires that we feel we must have satisfied, no matter what.  Almost a desperate search for that deep longing to be fulfilled.  If an obvious, above board way cannot happen or does not show itself, we can find nefarious ways to produce that result we are seeking. This behavior or pursuit does not make us 'bad guys' but rather momentary 'shadow dancers'.  We may have to enter the shadow side of our nature in order to find where that need can be met.  Carl Jung' s work tells us we all have a shadow side.  Carl Jung encourages us to locate it, face it and ultimately integrate it into us in order to continue pursuing WHOLENESS.   If we just pursue the LIGHT, we are also inviting the dark to also be present. The opposite force does and will come so we can integrate them both.  Think Yin and Yang. ...

Once we locate the wounds that our physical systems have been unconsciously or subconsciously protecting, holding onto,  cultivating, hiding, falsely identifying with, just observing it, helps it to shift!!  Albert Einstein told us that essentially, anything observed will change due to the sheer observation of it.  When we locate our wound and begin to ferret it out into the open through self-compassion, self-love, self understanding, expect it to look and act a bit like a wounded animal.  You will recognize the wounded part but as you go towards it, it may turn on you and bite.  That reaction is due to fear and pain, despite how hopeful you are to help! When we have the inner courage to find our own LIGHT and set up constant communication with it, that same LIGHT will shine into our own darkness.  When the darkness we've hidden, repressed, suppressed or depressed begins to surface, Carl Jung teaches us that our unconscious aspects, now ...

When we arrive as babies, we are effectively like a bulb in the ground.  We will have  other people, usually parents, grandparents and other family members, 'waving' us through.  We receive their energy, their care, their views of life and their views of us. On the scale of multitudes of energy, we can consciously and unconsciously,. gather so much intel, that it can be a challenge to discern who we really are and who we really are in the first family context. By the time we are adults, and able to stand on our own, we have developed the skills, ideas, talents and abilities from how and who 'waved' us through.  We take this accruement of working, functional knowledge and apply it.  Yet, what if our 'bulb in the ground' did not receive enough quality water, sunshine, water or rain or quality soil or environment to adequately grow and develop?  What if the bulb didn't, couldn't, wouldn't open, develop correctly or grow?  What if we en...

As we grow and develop, we are effectively 'waved' through by our initial caregivers, usually in the form of our initial parents, who are providing what they know.  They have also been waved through their process from their parents and, consequently, given the skills, the education, the food, the clothes and identifications they also received.  They naturally draw on their known, through experience, ideas, concepts, world view, understanding and workable applications.  This they often do lovingly because they care about their child and/or children and their well being.  They want their child to have the needed and necessary skills for life, especially once the child strikes out on their own. It is a system that has worked for generations, to enable our, in general, survival as a species! Styles and influences change, of course, so there are basic changes, through the generations, in design, applications, definitions and sometimes, in directions. Yet, what remains in ...

As we trust our Light to shine deeper, more of what has held us back can come to the surface.  For example, if our ego was caught up in dramas or traumas for years, trying to make sense of it all with no idea why we can't progress, with more Light shining into our deeper aspects, finally clues can surface.  Why does this happen?  Carl Jung's work offers us a way to understand everything.  Just like day and night, left and right, female and male, young and old, opposites need each other for  balance.  If we think in terms of WHOLENESS as a goal, we need to see, understand, accept and integrate both sides of any equation. So, aspects of us that have been held down in the dark unconsciousness, the only way to see them and feel them again is by making them conscious.  By allowing, inviting, encouraging them to feel safe enough to surface.  Perhaps an abuser has died, maybe a toxic person has moved away or a group of people have disbanded now. ...
