Posted by on Jun 11, 2023 in Blog | 0 comments

Embrace anxiety cures. Anxiety is a fully embodied experience living in the mind, body, and soul.  Cures for anxiety need to look at the big and the small picture of our lives. The Experience of anxiety is more than in the mind. How we eat,  how well we sleep, our close relationships and the exercise we have in our lives contribute to our sense of well-being, or depression and anxiety.

We are limited as individuals and as a culture by a limited worldview.  Our society seems blind to the obvious truth that an individual journey is shaped by and shapes our world.

                                             Destiny More slowly than a seastar the stone walked down the sands towards the surf foam to be in line with the trajectory of my footsteps She held the oldest wisdom to impart —- ancient medicine to share In the dull new moon black of her form  I thought I saw an instant of brightness I scooped her from the sand — held her palm-size dense body close   I am your destiny … She said Then, yes….
