#Healing
I am known for brightly colored art. I've always wished there were MORE colors to use, however, I am also drawn to the drama of simple black and white. I took my popular Healing Hand and gave it a fresh new high contrast look.

Keep a shallow dish of cold fresh #water out for birds & bees. Especially with #climatechange & the #fires
I use an old pie tin that I clean & refresh at least once daily. keeping it cool with icecubes. The #birds are very happy with it.
And #bees need water too, though I've not seen them on my balcony yet...
That was my birds and the bees lesson for the day. lol.
Plus birds bathing is something cute and wholesome to watch during #wgastrike and #birdsong is #healing.
HopeBillHelps loves #music. Do the things that bring you joy. And if you need to give them reverence, then by all means, do so.
I Don’t Need Church
If you’re able to do so, take a walk. And pause for a moment. There’s plenty of reality to enjoy. Better still, the only batteries required will be recharged with every step you take.
On the surface, everyone wants optimal health, but we see people promoting illness in various ways.
Pain can remind us of moments we must remember to never repeat. Sickness invites the attention of caregivers - something we may not have had enough of in our youth. Perhaps we simply want to take time off from the work of life and be left alone to think for awhile. The motivations to be ill are endless and unique to every individual.
And yet, those who can honestly see and resolve their impulses to remain sick heal faster.
Today's mindfulness challenge is to seek this wisdom. With curiosity, love, and nonjudgement, try to understand the motivation to remain sick or in pain. Release the impulse by meeting those needs in a more direct, healthier way.

I really think this is why I'm so obsessed with planners, and planning ahead in general. It helps me feel a measure of control, and makes what's to come feel more orderly and safe rather than downright scary.
Isn't the human psyche odd! And beautiful.
We get to be the adult that reassures the child-parts of our being that got frozen in time by #trauma
I see Dr. Mate's "Irreducible Needs" mirrored and explained according to the Chakra system. According to Anodea Judith, there are 7 fundamental rights of the soul and 7 demons that result when we distort the loving growth of the soul.
Judith writes, "The quickest way to minimize the divine within is to interfere with it's basic rights." These are the rights we are reclaiming as adults through mind/body healing.

We tend to forget pain after we heal. Perhaps this is why we choose to keep some wounds open, so we always remember.
Ask: What injury am I ready to release to the natural healing process?

The city traffic roars — we step into a circle and build a fire. Orange flames make merry; the burning wood crackles.
That remembering is always on the edge. It is so familiar.

Pain is inevitable, it's the immediate sensation we feel when life brushes us with its harsh side, but suffering, that's optional. Suffering is when we choose to dwell in our pain, to let it define us, rather than allowing it to refine us into stronger, more compassionate beings.

Healing is not all mindset and emotions. You have to be willing to change the behavior that went with the old thoughts and feelings you used to have.
If you don't change the behavior then life keeps showing you the pain.
If you keep ending up back in the same pain after you think you've healed it, check your behavior. That's probably why it keeps happening.
Love to all.

Hoodoo - An Ancestral Journey
My priority is rapidly shifting away from public content like blogs and podcasts to book writing.
It's not that I don't like blogging and podcasting or that I'm shutting down anything. It's that my first love is book writing and I need to honor that. Everything else will now be secondary.
I have limited time in the day to work. When I'm focused on public content like blogs and podcasts, book writing kind of falls off the back of the truck because I run out of time very quickly. That creates an argument within me that I have come to the conclusion I don't need to have anymore.
I can shift away from public content to write all the books I want.
My goal was a book a year from the moment I started writing books. When you're with a big publishing company that's about as much as you're going to get. But when you're not with a big publishing company and you do all your own everything, you have the potential to do more than that. I already see that I'll be doing more than just a book a year.
I'll be staying consistently inconsistent with my public content. When I do post to those platforms it will happen on the established schedules of those platforms. If there are a couple of months where I'm not writing a book, then I'll be consistent with those platforms during that time.
Book writing as my priority and my main focus makes sense to me and offers me the balance that I want in my work.
It looks wild from the outside and feels perfectly normal to me on the inside as the one that's doing the work.
I've already posted an update about the various platforms and how they will look going forward. You can scroll back in my profile to read that. Everything is remaining intact. I have no intention or desire to shut any of it down. I am simply shifting my priority to what I want to do.
I hope you'll hang out and come along for the ride. This has probably been a long time coming. I had a lot of internal work to do on my thinking and how I thought about my public work versus my book writing. Being able to shift that focus like I needed to was something that took a long time.
Thanks for your support along the way! I hope you'll stay tuned!
A new book is coming!
Love to all.
Della

Let's do a little check in!
I'm about 33000 words into my book, most of that has been written in the last week or so. It is going really well. I'm super excited about it!
As I kind of figured would happen, sporadic content on some of my platforms has shown up. I put out a blog on Uncovering Your Reality and there was an email out yesterday as well. That will continue!
I've also set up an "essay style" blog called Essays on Truth. I just posted about that. You can check it out.
My podcast, Master Your Being has been quiet as has my Patreon account.
The advantage to Patreon going forward will be the option of gaining some support from me. Each level has the opportunity to ask questions or work with me in some limited fashion. I added a 5th level to Patreon a while back which includes a one-hour video chat per month of the subscription plus all the benefits of the other tiers. You can book the first one immediately when you sign up.
Why would you do that over book a one-off session? You save $25 CAD on the cost of the session by signing up for the subscription on Patreon. If you're wanting a monthly session with me, Patreon is the cheaper way to get that. You get the bonus of some additional content and some other ways to access support from me as well.
Private coaching and one-off individual sessions continue to be available. You can work with me to shift your focus and feel better in your life. I can teach you how to use your life experience to guide you instead of always being afraid of the next thing. I have tools and strategies that I've learned along the way that I can offer you to make life easier.
Pay what you can and scholarship options are available for the private coaching packages. Reach out if you have questions.
I'm going to do a separate post about where I'm going and my priority shift moving forward!

Have you ever followed your intuition and not gotten the outcome you wanted?
Your intuition is not outcome focused the same way humans tend to be. Your intuition is focused on giving you the experiences you need to be successful down the road. It is not focused on giving you the outcome you think you want in that particular situation.
Do you see the difference?
For you to follow your intuition successfully, you have to be willing to go on the journey and not pay attention to the outcome. You have to be willing to look for the value in the journey and accept that regardless of the outcome you will get what it is you need.
Your focus on the outcome makes you not trust your intuition because you don't think it gives you the right answer. Your intuition is not a cheat sheet. It is there to help guide you through the experiences in your life that will give you all of the skills and tools you need to be able to be successful in wherever it is you're going.
Every single choice I've made in the last few years has been intuitive. You've seen it; I've gone around in circles. I've done laps. I've messed up. It hasn't been a straight line and I rarely got the outcome I wanted.
I have gotten absolutely everything I've needed to be here this way right now though.
That is why I trust my intuition completely. I don't argue with my intuition. I simply go with it.
I know for sure that regardless of what happens I will get value out of the journey every single time and I'm willing to take that bet 100% of the time too.
Fully allowing your intuition to guide you means changing your focus from the outcome to the journey. It means deciding that the outcome matters less than the journey and that you're willing to see what you're being shown or offered through that experience.
I didn't start there. I didn't start being able to do that. I was very outcome dependent for a long time. And there were times where I considered no longer listening to my intuition because I wasn't happy with some of those outcomes.
Being on the other side of that and not wavering in my decision to follow my intuition has allowed me to heal, has allowed me to figure out what I want my life to look like, has allowed me to take my power back, understand who I am, make my own choices, and free myself from the cage that I had put myself in.
Your intuition is offering you a journey. It's offering you a road trip. You have to be willing to go on that road trip regardless of where it takes you. If you can do that, if you can get over needing to control it and needing to know the outcome, you will find that your life changes dramatically, not because you got control, but because you learned how to manage yourself within the experience.
The journey to me has been priceless. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Your intuition is offering you a way forward. Your job is to take it and stop worrying so much about the outcome of the experience that you're in right now.
Love to all.
Della

Yesterday I set up a second "blog" called Essays on Truth.
The reason why the word blog is in quotation marks is because these aren't standard blogs, these will be essays of at least 3000 words, often much closer to 5000 words or more. They are meant to be long. My blogs are typically 1500 to 2000 words in length.
The format of the blog will be in chronological order with the oldest first instead of the reverse order of a standard blog. My intention is that once there are 25 to 30 essays there, I will organize them in some sort of a way and publish them as a book.
While I won't be overly consistent there right now because I'm writing my book, I wanted to put one of the essays I wrote in the book out early. So, I've posted it there for you to read if you like.
Here's the link.

Your focus matters. How you see it matters. What you do with it within yourself matters. When things happen to you in life you have a choice in that moment of what to do with them. The immediate reaction may be pain and that’s okay; feel the pain and allow the pain but then make a choice to shift your focus.
The pain just is. Don’t identify with it. Don’t hang onto it. Don’t make up stories about it. Just let it be there.
The experience just is. Don’t identify with it. Don’t hang onto it. Don’t make up stories about it. Just let it be there.
Your opinion of it just is. Don’t identify with it. Don’t hang onto it. Don’t make up stories about it. Just let it be there.
Notice a pattern?
Don’t focus on, hold onto, make up stories about, or identify with anything that causes you pain or that you don’t like. Just allow it all to be there and peacefully co-exist with you.
You don’t have to do anything about any of it. There is nothing to fix. It’s not broken. It is only the equal and the opposite that is being reflected back to you. Allow it to be there.
Stop fighting with the things you don't like. Allow them to simply be there because you can't get rid of them. They get to exist too, whether you like them or not. Trying to change that only upsets you.
Love to all.

For the first time in my life someone came to me after recognising I was #neurodivergent and identified it during a conference I participated to in the last 3 days. In the evening, we discussed a lot about what it was as he asked me how it was for me. This has been one of the most emotional moment and extremely #healing. To meet someone that understood what Asperger's is and presented it as it positively. It is hard to formulate the impact it had.
In his book Zen and the Art of Saving the Planet, Thich Nhat Hanh writes, “Wake up to the beauties of the planet to heal yourself and wake up to the suffering of the world and try to help.”
May we wake up together.

Father, we bring before You all those who need a healing touch in body, mind and spirit. Heal these brothers and sisters in Christ.
As you practice self-care, do so with the understanding that not all self-care looks the same. Some will require adopting attitudes that make you less popular among those who want to keep you palatable enough for their consumption. Seek healing, balance, and the ability to give from a place of wholeness. Period. ❤️

and you must work with your former enemies because your both warships are splintered wrecks. And you both want to come homes.

Torrey Pines State Beach in La Jolla, CA. Spent a lot of time here doing photography and fishing. This shot was captured prior to sunrise, and you can see the Moon hidden behind the clouds. Enjoy, Joseph.

I have been doing things I did as a child. Self-comforting things. I worried I might be regressing but a friend suggested I am actually starting to heal.
All week I've been starting my sobriety journey (it's going well, I'm embracing my emotional experiences & doing my best to process them in real time).
I have been taking baths. So many! As a child I would retreat into the locked bathroom & run a bath very slowly, sitting on the floor next to it naked wrapped in towels reading my comics (Asterix, Tintin and Calvin & Hobbes).
A sensory heavenly haven.
I ordered a pack of these tiny rainbow metallic stars I had as a small child. I associated them with my favourite toddler-era character, Rainbow Brite.
I'm avoiding wearing shoes & loving the sensation of the ground beneath my bare feet. So many times in my life I have been reprimanded by adults for not wearing my shoes.
Even strange childhood maladies have returned, angular stomatitis (cracked corner of the mouth) is something I struggled with for many childhood years. Guess what's back?
It's all quite strange yet wonderful & new yet old & overwhelming yet stabilising at the same time.
So much of my work with #HowToCitizen is about shifting the way we practice democracy, to make it more approachable, enjoyable, local, and personal. Our final guest this season pulls us in to ourselves and helps us find ways to heal the hurt parts inside so we can fix the broken parts we experience outside.

Probably one of the most common refrains I have is "question your thinking". I get a lot of push back on it because people are afraid of what's in their heads. They are afraid the ego will get in there and mess with everything. The mind is a scary place to hang out, right?
Here's the deal: You're in control of that. Your mind is not in charge. I don't care what it tries to tell you, it is not in charge. You are. You have to decide to stay in control of what your mind is doing or not doing. You get to shut that old thought pattern down anytime you want. You do not have to agree with, buy into, or accept anything your mind tells you.
You are not your mind. You are not the voice in your head. You are able to observe these things from the "outside". You can "watch yourself" in your own life. You can "watch" your own thinking and then find a perspective that doesn't offer you more pain.
But who makes up that new story?
We're not telling a story and we're not spinning the old story. We're learning to understand ourselves. Why do we think that way? Why do we feel like that?
What happens when we do that? The mind jumps to defending the problem. I feel like this because of all these external things that happened. Those are the stories that you need to shut down. They aren't true. I don't care what happened in the external world. It doesn't matter at all because it's not about the external world. It's about the pain you picked up. The pain is the lie. The pain is the thing you need to let go of. The pain is what got into your perspective, caused it to be all warped, and made you think you needed to defend yourself and the pain you picked up.
The simple truth is that you get to make your own choices, do your own thing, go after that goal, and make that thing happen. You don't need to defend yourself, the pain, or the problems to do it. You just have to decide that you're no longer going to tell yourself the stories of pain and that you're going to stop blaming the external world for the pain you're still hanging onto.
The focus is on yourself within the experience. The focus is not on external circumstances or problems. The focus is on you and what you think about everything within your experience including yourself.
It's not about the experience, it's about what you do with the experience within yourself. You are in control of that. Your mind is not. It's a conscious choice to decide what to do with each experience you have in your life.
When you perceive an experience is causing you pain, then you have to make a conscious choice of what to do with that. More than likely it is your perception of the experience that is the problem, not the experience itself. When you take conscious control over this then you drop your perception of the story and you shift it so that you can understand where the pain came from. Hint: The pain is within you already, it's not out there in the experience. You connected that experience to existing pain and now you have to make the choice to undo that, gain control over it, and change what you do with that experience.
The connection to the pain is an unconscious thing that happens automatically. Your awareness of your own feelings allows you to take control over this. You feel the pain and now you make a choice. The external experience triggered old pain. Why? What do I need to heal? Guess what? Your experience is now talking to you. It showed you the pain you needed to heal within yourself. It's not about what just happened, it's about what it triggered within you.
Now you can take conscious control. Now you figure out where the pain came from by dropping the external experience because it doesn't matter. What is the external experience showing you?
Don't defend the problem. Don't defend the pain. Don't defend the crappy perspective. Manage your thinking. Get the ego out of the way.
Your willingness to accept what the mind does is what keeps you stuck. You don't have to do that. It's a choice.
You don't want to make that choice though because it stops you from being able to blame the outside world for everything.
The choice requires you to decide to take your responsibility for yourself, your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions at all times. No more blaming the outside world for how you feel. It's all up to you.
And that's scary. It causes fear. It causes you to defend the problem of taking control over your mind because the ego might get in the way.
Note to self: If you're defending the problem the ego is already in the way. When are you going to deal with the fear of changing that?
Love to all.

Unintended Harm: Are We Still Accountable? 💔🩹💖
As autistic people we have been punished mercilessly for crimes we had no idea we were committing, so it’s natural for us to feel like it’s totally unfair to be held accountable for harm we couldn’t have possibly predicted.
Nonetheless, it is vital to our healing, and our sanity, that we hold ourselves accountable for harm whether we intended it or not. Because if we carry the belief that feeling wronged is only valid if the wrongdoer intended it, then we’ll believe our OWN feelings of being wronged are only valid if the wrongdoer intended it. And since we NEED our feelings to be valid, we’ll NEED the wrongdoer to have intent, so we’ll end up pinning intent on people who just didn’t know any better.
Instead of thinking of it as admitting fault, think of it as acknowledging harm. We need to stop being lawyers and start being humans. Yes, we didn’t know better, we couldn’t have been expected to know better, we did the best we knew how to do - but - we recognize, and care, that someone got hurt, and we wish that hadn’t happened.
If we don’t apologize for unintended harm, the harmed party learns we care more about being right than we do about their pain. People don’t feel safe around people who don’t care whether they suffer or not, and that’s perfectly reasonable.

GM Diary Topics:
– Undead and Healing.
I look at why not all “healing” may harm an undead. I examine clerical healing, bandages, and illusionist healing and why illusionists could make powerful necromancers due to their healing techniques.
– I discuss using Folklore-based Kobolds in RPGs.

To my mind, the question isn't whether one chooses to work tomorrow, or to have the day off.
The question is: what are we doing - individually and collectively - toward #reconciliation #treaty #voice #equity and #healing? #AustraliaDay
Repentance or #Metanoia?
#healing #prayer
Matt 4:12–23
.
I’m hearing #Jesus say something like this:
“Listen! Change your #mind & your #heart about the way you are headed… turn & face a new way! #God is here with you & loves you deeply… God’s Kingdom is near. The way you face friends… the way you are headed will lead to disaster.”
I don’t get #judgment or #shame in the word “metanoia” that I get from “repent”.
I find some healing in that. Do you?
GRIEF...DEATH...Dying...It is woven into our lives as much as joy and birth. I feel called to this work. Many people have told me their "story" and how my art has helped them heal. There is no value to be placed on giving comfort. Sure, I feed myself with the proceeds from my art, but it's so much more than that...
