Changing Woman: Poems 2007 - 2016

 

Changing Woman: Poems 2007 - 2016

Kayla used to be a priestess of Aphrodite, but she was such a bitch - all those lessons in love, including jealousy, heartache, misery, and despair. Now she is the Priestess of Laphrodite, Goddess of the Belly laugh. Laughter is the best medicine, but as far as Kayla was concerned, it's also the best lube. Reflecting a time of questing and questioning for our Baby Crone, she changes careers, discovers online dating, and fuels her passion for blogging.

Tendrils of Belief: Poems 1997 - 2006

 

Tendrils of Belief: Poems 1997 - 2006 

Picks up the adventures of our Baby Crone five years after Sappho’s Delights. No longer a maiden, she embraces motherhood, becomes a gay divorce, and moves from retail therapy to hypnotherapy. Spanning almost a decade, here is more scrumptious food for thought, nuggets to savor and relish. Inspired by Adrienne Rich’s, On Lies Secrets, and Silence, these tender tales continue a quest into a deeper knowing of self, family, and community. Prayers, meditations, affirmations, and some lamentations.

Thoughts on Mindfulness

One of the beauties of mindfulness is that you don’t need to sign up for a class, buy special pants, or chunk out hours in your day. It can start by inviting yourself to be more aware, more present, and live with more intention. 

Mindfulness starts with awareness and choosing to focus and simplify. Despite our current tendencies for multitasking, the brain really only likes to be occupied with one thing at a time. 

Here is a focusing meditation that is super simple and easy to learn. Notice what comes up for you. Allow yourself to enjoy this state for as long as you like. This narrowing of focus while engaging the senses is extremely useful in creating periods of relaxed, focused concentration. It makes for a great walking meditation or game to play while waiting in a restaurant. 

Three, Two, One Meditation. 

 Begin by taking some deep breaths, eyes open or closed. 

 Focusing on three things that you can see while taking three deep breaths. This can mean either right before you if your eyes are open, patterns of light if your eyes are closed, or anything that you can see in your mind's eye. Feel free to use your imagination. If you're not a visual person, choose a different modality.

Next, become aware of 3 three sounds while taking 3 breaths - in the environment, in your body, or in your inner monologue. As you turn more inward, try to hear your breath or heartbeat. 

 Then, switch to three physical sensations with the 3 breaths. Often we begin by noticing what is uncomfortable - an itchy nose, an ache in the back. Bring your awareness to pleasant or simply neutral sensations - the weight of a shirt, a breeze on the cheek. 

 Now, repeat the same exercise, this time focusing only on: 

Two sights

Two sounds

Two sensations

 Last, go down to: 

One sight

One sound

One sensation

This is a wonderful practice, whether you are trying to fall asleep, concentrate on a task, or are bored driving while driving or in a meeting. :Youi'll notice feeling sharper, more relaxed, and completely present.
