An expanded perspective requires more than a sound-byte approach to living; one that goes beyond headlines and talking heads and demands focused attention for hours at a time. In our 10-minute digital world, that has become a foreign concept for the vast majority of us. Not good/bad, right/wrong... and it has a profound impact on how we see the world and ...

Mindful Choice vs Habituation
Far more important than any single, particular choice is the underlying - and far too often, invisible - process for choosing that determines the way we move through the world. At this time in our human experience, the frequency and range of choices with which we are faced is offering up the opportunity for us to begin to notice that underlying process and ...

Legal Challenge to COVID-19 Measures Filed in Ontario Superior Court
For details of this recent (August 11, 2020) undertaking, click here. This activity is concurrent with similar challenges to the 'party line' now being mounted by equally informed, credentialed and experienced professionals who tell a very different story relative to the last several months of our collective, global lives. These perspectives are not ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi: To choose mindfully is to awaken to the Self
"In my own life, I have come to discover that the more I let go of stories about myself, the more I discover who I AM rather than who I have been led to believe I am (based on who I have always been, and apparently, will always be). After all, I am not fixed, nor made of concrete. The essence of who I AM manifests through my body — a brilliant, living, ... Continue Reading >>
New Interview: Sheila Winter Wallace
An opportunity to consider the bigger picture and notice how the moment is sourced from and shaped by the moments that came before... unless we mindfully choose otherwise. Another provocative exploration with Sheila Winter Wallace as you sip your morning coffee. ... Continue Reading >>
New Post – Naomi Irons: Inner Wild
"Not surprisingly, after week 3 (activating the power center) of our Living Fully Through Conscious Choice experience, I woke this morning to an inner roar. That Elemental part of myself became a visceral surge from the depths of my Being rising to the surface, transforming all that was in its path in the most life giving way. It became immediately clear to ... Continue Reading >>
New Post – Stela Shakti: Regeneration of Self
"What happens to the essence of my being in that exact moment that I choose habitual living that keeps me stagnated and shuts out my very essence? Where does the “I” that I AM go? In what ways have I become the habit that brings no meaning in my life? Who do I become in moments where living choice-point down reinforces all that I have ever known? Is there ...

Inner Guidance, Lives!

Going on a Data Diet
Some time ago, I removed myself from all forms of social media. In one fell swoop, Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In disappeared from my life. I thought I would miss them. Truth is: I don’t. With the passage of time, my curiosity expanded and led me into my most recent experiment: freeing myself from unlimited consumption of all the delights of the ... Continue Reading >>
Choosing the Freedom to Choose
Do not speak of climate change. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of a rapidly changing climate? Do not speak of pandemics and vaccines. Instead, ask: who do I choose to BE in the face of immense and collective pressure to comply without raising question or voice? As I celebrate my 70th birthday, I do so in the full awareness that I have ... Continue Reading >>
How then, shall I live?
Today, I am at peace. Having chosen to live in quiet surroundings (well… most of the time…), I enjoy the many moments of my day when I become aware of an inner cue. (I am grateful that, in such truly turbulent times, I can still notice them; that my own 'listening' is not yet drowned out from the constant dump of drama and angst that we are so encouraged ...

Gregg Braden: Human By Design
Before we exercise our freedom to choose, we would be wise to listen... and allow ourselves to begin to understand all that we don't know, we don't yet know. ... Continue Reading >>
Dr. Zach Bush: Our COVID-19 Assumptions are Wrong
Now available with Brian Rose on the London Real platform, this is one of Dr. Zach Bush's best! In my world, all meaning is context dependent. In this extensive conversation, we are encouraged to consider the bigger picture within which this pandemic is unfolding. Yes, it does demand attention as a non-allopathic, non-mainstream and alternative ... Continue Reading >>
Life is fluid..
If we were to allow ourselves to own that the process of living is fluid and not fixed, changing our mind would become the requisite underpinning of living a meaningful and joyous life. ... Continue Reading >>
Meg Wheatley: Warriors Wanted
Sheila Winter Wallace: Guilt and Changing My Mind
"...I had lived with a specific rule - an obligatory one - outside of my conscious awareness throughout my entire life - that I could not change my mind. For me, the right to change my mind has become a required rite of passage I have been actively advocating for with others for over the last 15 years in my life’s ‘work’. It is not that I have never changed ... Continue Reading >>

Parenting: A Child is not a Legacy
The Great Divide: Pandemic Fallout
Inside the pandemic that continues to shape our global, day-to-day reality through its roiling, seething cauldron of overwhelming and often conflicting ‘facts’, the battle rages on to determine who’s right and who’s not. Once firmly ensconced on the platform of being correct, we can then seek to define what behaviours we should/must exhibit (and insist upon ... Continue Reading >>
A timely thought….
The relationship between time and memory has always fascinated me. What comes to mind is the experience of one with amnesia... who remembers nothing of who they are and/or their life and its meaning/purpose/value. In that single moment of realization presents the opportunity to redefine the quality of their life. Meandering through all of that is the ... Continue Reading >>
Are we doomed?
Since my last urge to write (Ascent into Chaos), I have found myself in varying enquiries about the apparent trajectory on which we find ourselves. Many are troubled…agitated… about what may well lie ahead. I can appreciate that some would conclude that we’re doomed. The way I see it, being ‘white’ makes it less aggressive… and being ‘old’ makes it more ... Continue Reading >>
Dean Walker: Living Resilience – Deep Academy
That we know something does not mean that we know what to do with it, about it or because of it. Such is the state that we would be well advised to befriend. Regular readers will be familiar with Dean Walker's Poetry of Predicament podcast. Dean generously makes room for the vibration of different voices to resonate through the density of a locked-in, ...

Melissa Allison: New post on old choices
Creating new agreements, with intention Such is the topic of Melissa's latest offering on her blog. I read this one a couple of times, finding the choice of her language to be profoundly authentic and open; trusting that in her vulnerability she would find great strength. There is a grace to this… and a clarity of mind…. that exudes strength and ... Continue Reading >>
Ascent into Chaos
“The All is mind; the Universe is mental.” (The Kybalion; 1st Principle - The Principle of Mentalism) I am grateful for this place where I can write what is meaningful for me to express. In reading what I write, I become able to detect what had remained hidden to my own discernment. I do not write to reveal - I write to discover what remains ... Continue Reading >>

Join Naomi Irons and her guest - Anne Bérubé - in a potent exploration of the process of parenting; and a revelation of where the power lies to embrace and open potential for our children.

Stela Murrizi on: “You Complete Me”… – NOT!
"In my romantic relationship, my partner does not complete me. He did not rescue me from myself, he did not save me from my miserable life, he did not fall in eternal love with me from just one look, he is not lost without me, he does not need me in his life…And neither is he stuck with me “forever”. Instead, we choose each other every step of the way. We ... Continue Reading >>
Sheila Winter Wallace: Upcoming Events May 13th and 20th
"Have you ever really considered what your core values for being alive are? What IS most important to you about being alive? And, if you have engaged in such a reflection, have you considered what has now changed? How was your life working for you before this world as we knew it came to an abrupt stop? How is this change in process suiting you now? As ... Continue Reading >>
Stela Murrizi New Blog Post: Becoming ‘Mother’
"I suppose you expect me to write that my whole world changed, that my perception of “who” I am shifted, that my whole life transformed. Truth of it is, I transformed my life long before I chose to become “mother”. I transformed it the moment I decided, viscerally, I was no longer wiling to be captive to abuse, addiction, drugs, self-destruction, ... Continue Reading >>
Coalescence of Collective Consciousness
I learned a long time ago: don't waste my life fighting what I don't want. Rather, pour mySelf into what I do want, and live. The following contributions from leaders in the field of evolution of consciousness offer consideration of a potent approach to creating reality. You may find something of meaning for yourself in this brief overview. ... Continue Reading >>
Resting Your Mind
The distractions are many and constant. No longer is the frenzied pitch intended to alert us to start or stop something - it is a constant reminder of the purported threat to our very lives. In the droning of background noise …. of television, laptops, tablets and phones; of YouTube, podcasts, live reporting on unfolding events or commentators’ views ... Continue Reading >>

Deb Gleason on: Surrender and Intensity
"What I know about Gaia is that she tells the truth of her own experience without attachment to outcome. She expresses her surrender intensely along a continuum of gentle to fierce. Her most gentle expressions can be observed in the delicate flowers that push through the spring soil, and in the way new ferns unfurl on the rainforest floor. On the other end ...

Now or never: Boundless LeaderSelf™
Now - unlike at any other time in conscious memory - we are being called to create beyond the mindless and incremental that has so relentlessly shaped our collective reality. Our existing constructs of 'leadership' are proving themselves to be limited in the face of multiple incursions into the sanctity of dominion over our own lives, simultaneously ...

Stela Shakti: A new blog post on parenting
"The two of us, as partners, have created a life where we are both fully present for our son, to the best of our abilities. We chose to co-create him out of love; we chose to stay at home the first few months to adapt to the new lifestyle; we choose to split the chores and responsibilities equitably; we choose to raise our son together. The evolving ... Continue Reading >>
Poetry of Predicament Podcast: Trance State Interrupted
Naomi and I have experienced the great pleasure of each other's company for many years.

In a rare moment, indeed, we recently got to ... Continue Reading >>
Naomi Irons: Conscious parenting demands conscious parents
A conversation for the time we're in! In this moment, the trance of the last 100 years is deeply disturbed. The next steps we take will determine if we are entrained into a new trance... or if we awaken to a life outside of trance. It really is up to us. ... Continue Reading >>
Eaney… Meaney… Mieney… Mortality
These are interesting times! Without precedent and the accompanying pre-packaged, well-practised, habituated responses, we are faced with mindfully choosing the behaviours which we think will best serve our interests and those of others we care about. In truth, we are now in a time when those ‘others’ must include any and all with whom we may come in ... Continue Reading >>
Paradigm shift

Wise Women ~ Wise Words
It helps to have something to think about that expands potential rather than compressing it. It's a choice, really, and that choice shapes your world. It has long been understood by many: we become what we think about. Here are some things for you to consider thinking about. And remember: anything that we have created was first a thought in someone's ... Continue Reading >>

Struggle and Dis-ease
There really are no accidents in the Universe. Today, I received and posted a comment on a blog from several years ago... and yet, still relevant as we move through our global pandemic.

Melissa Allison: New Voice in the Blogosphere
Wow... I must be on some kind of a roll! So much presenting and moving around; so many words in my mouth that seem to need an escape through this final portal to a vast and open expanse of possibility. Although I am no longer here on a regular basis, I am grateful that there remains an outlet for my expression (sporadic as it may be) when I cannot contain ... Continue Reading >>
What’s important to you about being alive?
As far back as I can recall, my curiosities have often proven to be deeply annoying to many of those around me. Over time, if that changed at all, it was with an increasing perturbation of the murky waters of the status quo. I wanted to see what was under the surface… to see what littered the bottom that might trip us up should we choose to attempt to stand ... Continue Reading >>
The Beating Heart of Climate Change
As is likely for many of you, I am mindful of a ‘quickening’…. not just a bringing-on of more of the status quo, faster and more intensely…. but the arrival of a new heartbeat. Like the moment in the pregnancy when you first hear the baby’s heartbeat and you know - in every cell of your body - that this New Life is coming your way. The heartbeat that I ...

Hawaii: Theft of a Kingdom
Line in the sand…..
I've been working with women for close to 30 years. Two things that have always stood out in my ever-deepening conversations with them: they are often shocked and terrified by the depth of their own rage; and they are pissed to discover that their well-honed and practised 'appropriate-ness' will not take them where they want to go. They are ... Continue Reading >>
Vegan Awareness Moment : Cultural Coma of Food
Wow... two posts in one day. That's got to be some kind of record for me.... in my retirement! I came across this short video clip (3:18) that addresses plant protein sources vs meat. Take a moment to ponder how deep the protein myth permeates our cultural conditioning. Coincidentally, Deb Ozarko's new blog post included a number of references to ... Continue Reading >>
Voices Rising
I'm really getting the twists and turns of this 'retirement' thing! Have to admit: I am settling in nicely.

And right at the top of that ... Continue Reading >>

Mind to Mind: Michael Cremo
What is 'reality'? What is 'truth'? What does one have to do with the other? In today's world, the answer to that question may well be: not much! In my unwavering curiosity about it all, I spend time allowing my own 'reality' to be freely infiltrated with the 'truth' of another. Putting aside personalities and idiosyncrasies, I get to sit back and ... Continue Reading >>
Cultural Crones: The Power of Permission
Episode 98 ~ with Holly Irons, Betty Carr-Braint, Wynne Macaskill Delaney One of the great benefits that comes with the massive wave of Baby Boomers moving through time, is the inescapable presence of women in their full expression as Cultural Crones (women 50+).

A Moment to Reflect…
I look outside my window and am mesmerized by the blaze of glory that is Fall! In this moment of quiet contemplation, it is difficult to believe that snow will soon begin to fall.

Women and Safety: Living an Awakened Life

Dodging a bullet?
It all feels very different when it's personal; when someone you care about is living the challenges that Gaia is unleashing upon the planet. As I watch the images from Canmore, Alberta to all around the globe, I am reminded of the 'hype' around the impending global-annhilation predicted for 2012. And here we are - 2013 and counting... and our devastation ... Continue Reading >>
Creativity: Living an Awakened Life
Episode 78 ~ with Melissa Owoc What would life be without the ability to see what does not yet exist; and to capture the unexplored perspective, in a way that allows it to be shared with another?

Sanity, Silence and the Sacred

Ceremony: A State of Being

From Impulse to Expression
In our lives, we travel many roads and experience many discoveries. Perhaps the greatest of them all is to tap into the wellspring of genius that lives within, waiting only to weave its way through the network of beliefs of our own limitations. Once found, we become free to create and manifest. Louise A recording by Louise LeBrun; duration = ... Continue Reading >>
Revisiting Possibility
Lots going on in my life, these days. Sometimes, I need to be reminded that I am always choosing; that I am always the one making the decisions and setting the boundaries on my world.

Accelerated Healing: Choosing a Different Path

The following recording offers an invitation allow ourselves to trust what moves inside us; reconsider the possibilities; and ... Continue Reading >>
Engaging With Others to Feed Your Soul
Episode 74 ~ with Leona McIsaac Moran For the vast majority of women, cultural conditioning imbeds and demands that women be the caretakers of others and of the relationships. This frequently requires putting the interests and needs of others ahead of their own, leading to a great sense of detachment from their own dreams, ambitions and intentions. ... Continue Reading >>
Remembering Who I Am….
Given the recent circumstances of my life, I was drawn to listen to this invitation to remember who I am.
