The K2 Epidemic- Podcast 234
Last night, we had a close encounter with a man on the street who was reeling back and forth and then nearly collapsed in the middle of a busy city street in my home town.
We got him off the street, before he passed out in my lap. His pulse was thready and 120 beats per minute.
He was suffering from the effects of K2. Some call it synthetic marihuana, but that is a misnomer.
People often experience harsh side effects of psychotic meltdowns, high blood pressure, seizure, stroke and hallucinations.
This man was no exception. I thought he would die on my lap.

The Resurrection Of My Podcast-Podcast 233
The energy of prayer is not something that is “sent” and “received.” We do not require that it go anywhere, because it is omnipresent: it exists everywhere. A prayer that is focused on a person or an animal halfway across the world is as powerful as a prayer that is focused on the family next door.
All energy exists in the now and it is not stronger or weaker the farther it goes. The energy of prayer is immediate, meaning that which is focused near or far is happening in the present moment, and happens simultaneously. This is how Quantum Physics describes the effects of prayer.
Today’s podcast is a celebration of its return. For awhile it looked like it had ended, due to Tech problems. But I thank the wonderful team at Audello for putting the Podcast back together, again.
Bruce Weinstein the Ethics Guy
My conversation with Bruce Weinstein a.k.a. the Ethics Guy was awesome this evening. I would call it a meaningful conversation. If I don’t have at least one meaningful conversation day, I feel lost.
This was my epiphany for the day.
We discussed Bruce’s new book called The Good Ones: Ten Crucial Qualities Of High-Character Employees.
It’s a great read for those of us who want to work in an ethical workplace.
Listen in!!
Ethical Intelligence
Bruce Weinstein was on my radio show 4 years ago and will return again tomorrow night.
Bruce explains how his family raised him to think about the hard questions of life in light of ethics every night around the dinner table. He mentions Plato as part of what helped him to take the high road in all his interactions.
A very funny and charismatic man, Bruce Weinstein is a delightful guest with an engaging personality!

Love Created You- Podcast 232
Let’s be honest. That which created you and me is that which we must align to. We are not separated from that which created us.
I have been having troubles with my Audello podcast iPhone app. I have the app located on my husband’s computer, and was able to just now test it to see if it crashed.
All is well. Now onward to fixing the app on my iPhone. Patiently and lovingly.
Amen.
Healing Spaces
Happy Wednesday everyone. Be sure to save some time for yourselves, for the rest of the week, and the rest of your lives.
Remember, if you don’t rejuvenate yourself, how can you be of use to anybody else?
The answer is, you can’t. And that is the truth.
I’ll be preparing for our workshopthis weekend, Oneness Through Love,but I’ll be thinking of you as you create healing spaces for yourselves and each other. And I will remember to take care of myself, even in the midst of Crisis and Opportunity!
Peace (of mind) to all!!
The Fall Protocol
Many potential blog topics are always occurring to me but are either too controversial or entirely too ridiculous for me to write about. When my buttons get pushed, I always consider writing about that exact button pushing idea, and either write about it or not.
But I have a real knee jerk reaction to what I have always called “The Medical Gestapo.” I wish I could say that Medicine has become more of a healing environment. The Post 911 years seems to have unleashed a whole new era of punitive suffocation. People in the medical workplace seem to think they are in the law enforcement profession or the military instead of what could or should be healing and transformation, or at the least emotionally intelligent.
A startling example of this is a “Falls Protocol” that has recently come to haunt all the nurses at every hospital across the US. Every patient has to sign a “Falls Safety Agreement” which amounts to a consent form asking the patient to call her nurse if she feels dizzy or if she needs help. If the patient falls, and if she did not sign the agreement, a Falls Investigation Team comes to the hospital and investigates the fall like it’s a crime scene.
If the patient falls on your shift, you are written up, with a great punitive flourish. If anything else ever happens again to question your good standing as a nurse, you are automatically fired.
I am thankful to be freed from these work environments. My furry friends helped to make this transition without me consciously knowing it was happening.
Blessings abound.
Morning and Evening Prayer
Dear Creative Intelligence,
The Creator Of Us All,
We direct you to take care of our lives, today.
Because you create an oak seed to become an oak tree,
A blossom into a beautiful Rose,
Our hearts to beat rhythmically without any help from us,
Then we confidentially give our lives over to you,
To do with us as you will,
All in a spirit of Love and Light–
Amen
Writing, Walking, Silence, Listen, Awaken
I am re-reading the Natalie Goldberg book called, The True Secret Of Writing: Connecting Life With Language. She holds silent meditation retreats where the participants meditate, do walking meditation and writing practice. The only time they speak is when they read what they’ve written to each other, at which time the act of listening is fostered with great awareness.
Natalie Goldberg suggests that we practice in this way during the course of a given day. Meditate, walk, write. Awaken. Anchor awareness with each simple conscious breath.
Practice silence. In reality, no one will notice because we live in a chatty culture. We can practice listening, breathing, smiling instead of talking. We can put pen to paper and write about our reflections as they weave in and out of the focused intention to live as if everything matters, even in the greater scheme of things.
Living life with a three-pronged practice, meditation/prayer, walking, and writing and also practicing the beauty that we are enough in the here and now, helps to reign in the fear of death. The impermanence of life is always with us. Even this breath will end as a new one begins.
And when the breathing ceases to be, we drop the body.
For now, I have gratitude for this act of breathing, the words as they form upon the page, the sounds of a laboring patient in the next room.
It’s been 24 hours since the 26th anniversary of my mothers death. It rose up and it fell away.
I am writing, again, throughout the day. This is the energy I needed to integrate my spiritual practice.
Life plays tricks on us. My lifeline is back.
