Seeing The Beauty in Everything

Finding gratitude, compassion, and conscious awareness in the contrasts of everyday life

A rainy morning in Mexico reveals the beauty within life's contrasts and the healing support found through presence, stillness, and conscious awareness.

Early this morning, while preparing coffee, the view from my kitchen window—just beyond the white sheer curtains, or rather, veil—was of a man taking care of his car. He was putting plastic where a window once was to keep the tropical rain from drenching the car seat.

I poured myself a cup of coffee with hot, frothy milk and honey, then moved a few steps toward the back garden through the French/Mexican patio doors. The tropical rain watered the garden, cleaned the terra cotta tiles, and filled the small, refreshing pond.

Sipping this delicious drink, I felt a sense of gratitude that I noticed this beautiful contrast in life—the contrast in each moment as we breathe in and breathe out. There will always be things we don't like, things we like more, things we want to see, and things we would rather not experience. But the beauty lies in the deeper understanding that all of it plays a part in the awakening of conscious awareness.

The choice to live in a third-world country pushes the safe boundaries of familiarity and moves us out of our comfort zone into the great unknown.

Whether it creates happiness or sadness, we are moved toward compassion for ourselves, our resiliency, and our capacity to look deeply into another's eyes and say:

"I am here for you with my presence. I offer you my present awareness so that you can rest for a moment, knowing you are held and supported by life itself!"

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy offers tender support so you can rest and restore.

Isabella sitting peacefully in meditation beside the ocean — A quiet relationship with stillness makes room for rest, balance, and transformation.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy assists you in deepening your relationship with stillness, where one's mind is neither coming nor going. One's mind enters a state of balance and relaxation. In this state of rest, the deeper issues related to discomfort come to the forefront to be addressed, released, and transformed.

The Dalian Method™ uses breath, verbalization, and personal guidance to facilitate a deeper understanding of the root cause of your dis-ease and discomfort, in order to create permanent healing and lasting health throughout the body.
