Kidney and bladder run on both sides of achilles.Sqeeeze them/breathe energy into them many times a day.Sedate and strengthen both meridians.Stretch heels down below stair steps frequently.Stimulate K1 on bottom of foot.Sweeping the meridian involved is always helpful.It is of greater effectiveness to put one hand on K3 while sweeping the Bladder meridian .Hold bladder 40 for sweeping the kidney

Kelmie Blake Since Triple Warmer governs the muscles on the back of the calf, you'll also want to work with it. Light hairbrush tapping on the backs of calves can be helpful. Also flossing the gaits & clearing any irregular energies there. Doing a deep electrics session using the K-1s as the access points can really soften things up.

Stephanie Congo How does one do deep electrics with the K-1s? Sounds interesting.... just use those pts instead of electric pts?

Kelmie Blake Stephanie Congo , yes, exactly. Do all the electrics prep but hold those instead. Works amazingly for many things, including grounding.

Kelmie Blake Not any more awkward than holding someone's head. If I were doing it to myself, I'd cross my arms.

fear, healing

“Healing depends on listening with the inner ear – stopping the incessant blather, and listening. Fear keeps us chattering – fear that wells up from the past, fear of blurting out what we really fear, fear of future repercussions. It is our very fear of the future that distorts the now that could lead to a different future if we dared to be whole in the present.”
-Marion Woodman

Gratitude

EArth "For A TIME, I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.": JOD, Beauty

Today is Earth day, and as John reminds us, it should be earth day every day!

"Celebrate morning
The cry of a loon on a lake in the night
The dreams that are born in the dawn's early light
Celebrate morning

Celebrate living
The laughter that sings in the heart of a child
The freedom that flies at the call of the wild
Celebrate living

Celebrate evening
The stars that appear in the loss of the sun
Whispering winds, "We are one, we are one?...

Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate land and sea
Celebrate you and me

Celebrate earth Day, every day
Celebrate land and sea
Celebrate you and me
Celebrate earth Day, every day, every day, every day, every day..." - John Denver

As various forms of human-made madness continue to swirl around us—occasionally catching us up in the swirl—it's important to be intentional about seeking sources of inner peace. Only when we're at peace inwardly can bring some measure of peace to a violent world.

That's why I'm grateful for this poem by Wendell Berry. He not only reminds us of the peace to be found in the natural world—he offers us the peace to be found in a poem.

Most of the time, I can't "lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds." But I can rest in the beauty and wisdom of this poem any time I want.

It's worth noting that Berry says, "For A TIME, I rest in the grace of the world, and am free." With that grace and freedom in hand, we can return to the madness and do what we can to help others reclaim their humanity—until it's time, once again, to reclaim our own.

In Praise of the Earth

Let us bless
The imagination of the Earth.
That knew early the patience
To harness the mind of time,
Waited for the seas to warm,
Ready to welcome the emergence
Of things dreaming of voyaging
Among the stillness of land.

And how light knew to nurse
The growth until the face of the Earth
Brightened beneath a vision of color.

When the ages of ice came
And sealed the Earth inside
An endless coma of cold,
The heart of the Earth held hope,
Storing fragments of memory,
Ready for the return of the sun.

Let us thank the Earth
That offers ground for home
And holds our feet firm
To walk in space open
To infinite galaxies.

Let us salute the silence
And certainty of mountains:
Their sublime stillness,
Their dream-filled hearts.

The wonder of a garden
Trusting the first warmth of spring
Until its black infinity of cells
Becomes charged with dream;
Then the silent, slow nurture
Of the seed's self, coaxing it
To trust the act of death.

The humility of the Earth
That transfigures all
That has fallen
Of outlived growth.

The kindness of the Earth,
Opening to receive
Our worn forms
Into the final stillness.

Let us ask forgiveness of the Earth
For all our sins against her:
For our violence and poisonings
Of her beauty.

Let us remember within us
The ancient clay,
Holding the memory of seasons,
The passion of the wind,
The fluency of water,
The warmth of fire,
The quiver-touch of the sun
And shadowed sureness of the moon.

That we may awaken,
To live to the full
The dream of the Earth
Who chose us to emerge
And incarnate its hidden night
In mind, spirit, and light.

~ John O'Donohue ~

(To Bless the Space Between Us)

Beauty does not linger, it only visits. Yet beauty's visitation affects us and invites us into its rhythm, it calls us to feel, think and act beautifully in the world: to create and live a life that awakens the Beautiful. A life without delight is only half a life. Lest this be construed as a plea for decadence or self-indulgence that is blind to the horrors of the world, we should remember that beauty does not restrict its visitations only to those whom fortune or circumstances favour. Indeed, it is often the whispers and glimpses of beauty which enable people to endure on desperate frontiers. Even, and perhaps especially, in the bleakest times, we can still discover and awaken beauty; these are precisely the times when we need it most.   JOD

On the Death of the Beloved JOD

ON THE DEATH OF THE BELOVED

Though we need to weep your loss,
You dwell in that safe place in our hearts
Where no storm or night or pain can reach you.

Your love was like the dawn
Brightening over our lives,
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of color.

The sound of your voice
Found for us
A new music
That brightened everything.

Whatever you enfolded in your gaze
Quickened in the joy of its being;
You placed smiles like flowers
On the altar of the heart.
Your mind always sparkled
With wonder at things.

Though your days here were brief,
Your spirit was alive, awake, complete.

We look toward each other no longer
From the old distance of our names;
Now you dwell inside the rhythm of breath,
As close to us as we are to ourselves.

John O'Donohue

Blessing for the Senses JOD Blessing for Peace

Blessing for the Senses

May your body be blessed.

May you realize that your body is a faithful

and beautiful friend of your soul.

And may you be peaceful and joyful

and recognize that your senses

are sacred thresholds.

May you realize that holiness is

mindful, gazing, feeling, hearing, and touching.

May your senses gather you and bring you home.

May your senses always enable you to

celebrate the universe and the mystery

and possibilities in your presence here.

May the Eros of the Earth bless you.

~ John O’Donohue ~

A Blessing for Peace

As the fever of the day calms toward twilight
May all that is strained in us come to ease.

We pray for all who suffered violence today,
May an unexpected serenity surprise them.

For those who risk their lives
each day for peace,
May their hearts glimpse providence
at the heart of history.

That those who make riches
from violence and war
Might hear in their dreams
the cries of the lost.

That we might see through
our fear of each other
A new vision to heal
our fatal attraction to aggression.

That those who enjoy
the privilege of peace
Might not forget their
tormented brothers and sisters
That the wolf might lie down
With the lamb,
That our swords be beaten
Into plowshares

And no hurt or harm be done
Anywhere along the holy mountain.

~ John O'Donohue ~

Forest Fragrance Ud

FOREST FRAGRANCE

"The most important function of a forest is something that we will never see. It is called fragrance. Trees and forests from the tropics to the Boreal, all produce some sort of smell. The older the forest, the stronger the smell. The most ancient word that I can find for this kind of smell is úd going back to very old Gaelic, meaning the fragrance of the forest.

"...A working mature forest, anywhere, produces the maximum diversity of úd, or forest fragrance. These smells are complex, mostly aromatic in chemistry and arise from the soil mycorrhiza of the forest floor, and on the periderm of the powdery material found on the bark of many of the tree species. Smell arises from the forest floor perennial or annual plant species either above ground or from things living in the ground like the mushroom dynasty. They also come from the hidden, endophytic, small fungi within the plumbing of the tree’s anatomy. Smells emanate from the scent glands of leaves, flowers and fruit and from the complex medicine of the tree itself, the phenolic marvel we call resin."

—Diana Beresford-Kroeger, Irish botanist, medical biochemist and author

15 incredibly wise truths we learned from Winnie the Pooh

15 Incredibly Wise Truths We Learned From Winnie The Pooh

• 5231
• May 18, 2015

Since first appearing in 1924, Winnie the Pooh has innocently stumbled through the Hundred Acre Wood, leading friends and readers on curious and memorable adventures. The lovable bear is the brainchild of A.A. Milne, inspired by his son, Christopher Robin, and his toys. While Pooh is often seen as a bit dopey and soft-spoken, his humbleness has lead to incredibly profound wisdom over the years. This is only a fraction of the inspiring words the story left us. Yet, it’s plenty to live by.

1. Piglet: “How do you spell 'love'?" Pooh: "You don't spell it...you feel it."

2. “The things that make me different are the things that make me.”

3. "You are braver than you believe. Stronger than you seem. And smarter than you think."

4. “Sometimes the smallest things take the most room in your heart.”

5. “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

6. "Some people care too much. I think it's called love."

7. Weeds are flowers, too, once you get to know them."

8. “I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.”

9. “You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”

10. “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”

11. “A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.”

12. “A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.”

13. “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever.”

14. “A day spent with you is my favourite day. So today is my new favourite day.”

15. “How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
