I’d like to remind you that Healers heal just by walking into a room. Healers walk the earth in every profession, and are often hidden in plain sight. They’re often very humble. I’m astonished by the sheer number of so many who would never think of themselves as healers, but they are. #energy

When I was a kid I was terrified of war. When other kids were busy playing, I was grinding my teeth over nuclear weapons. My older brother told me “the powers that be” would never let anything get out of hand. They’d remove any threat. I guess we’re it. We’re the power.

My husband and I have been taking what I’m calling “listening walks” after dark. We walk in blackness listening for owls, coyotes, or who knows what else. It’s a way to sharpen our senses, and let the stresses of the day go. It’s a moody experience and I’m loving it. #mindfulness #nightphotography

There is a lot going on right now and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Just remember the 20-60-10 rule! After 20 minutes of work, take a 60-minute stroll through the forest and hug 10 trees (at least). They need love too!

Allostatic load is the physiological toll that being stuck in chronic stress has on your body. Chronic stress—like when your country is undergoing a coup. I can “see” energy, and I haven’t come across one person whose body isn’t broadcasting pain. 💔 ~ Move your body ~ Meditate ~ Deep Breaths

I fucking hate being afraid of things. I’m honestly afraid of so much, which always astonishes the people who know me. I was the kid who entered the abandoned, haunted house because my own fear pissed me off. #psychology #fear #resilient #newmexico

Desert bighorn, two feet from the trail. Not the least bit interested in, or intimidated by me. ☺️ Glimmer moment at the Grand Canyon. #protectourparks #wildlife #ecopsychology #grandcanyon #naturelovers #hikers

Everything you’re experiencing is fuel. No experience is wasted. Frustrations, failures, dead-ends, blocked energy, pain, confusion…it’s all asking you to learn more about yourself, accept yourself, see your life with new eyes—even through the tears… #newmexico #bosquedelapache #psychology

Meet the love of my life, Zemra! He’s covered in heart-shaped black spots. He also has a Feb bday! Friends thought I should name him Val, Valentine, or Valentino but I thought that was too on-the-nose. But Zemra means ‘heart’ in Albanian. So…he’s got a covert 🖤 name. #catsofbluesky #catlady #cats

Nature to me is psychology. Because most collective societal pathology, in my opinion, stems from or is exacerbated by our disconnection from nature. #naturelovers #psychology #energyhealing #mothernature

Good morning from your beautiful planet! When the Earth thrives, we thrive. (And vice versa) Without centering the health of our air, our water, our climate, our soil…what is the point of any other issue? #motherearth #ecology #climatechange #interconnection #rewilding #landofenchantment
