The sacred living NOW

Hate and love are two sides of the same coin...PASSION holding them as ONE. Oh, yes. Love has no opposite. *** In systematically embracing the shadow of humanity we neutralize all demons and become motivated by love. Demons are only denied aspects of ourselves. In embrace they all come into alignment. Practice holding your arms... Continue Reading →

Eugenics history of psychiatry : our bodies feel it

Eugenics history of psychiary. ~~ Part of what those of us injured by psychiatry are dealing with is the cellular knowledge that this history is in our very nervous systems via psychiatric institution, it's proponents and the drugs used to suppress our beautiful sensitive human natures. We are not insane -- we are however subject to the harm that has been perpetrated against us.

Mindfulness / Meditation, Complex Trauma: Rewards and Risks

What media hype and those selling mindfulness don’t tell you is that mindfulness is a process that can radically transform you, and it’s not always safe, nor is it easy or straightforward. We make it safer by being aware of the risks and learning to listen to our own bodies about when it is or isn’t okay for us. No one else actually knows.

Let’s go crazy…

I never gave up on the good that was emerging in all that confusion that was labeled and pathologized by psychiatry. I was trying to emerge from the ugly conditioned toxicity of our society. And yeah, that's hard work, especially for traumatized sensitives which, if we've been labeled, drugged and institutionalized by psychiatry, we likely are. Crazy is a necessity if one is to become free. We need to provide safe places for folks to move through it. It is not what psychiatry tells us it is. Not at all. ...

Traumatic brain injury/psych drug brain injury — very similar

I came across an extensive article that is quite helpful in terms of tips  and validation about the vast myriad of possible manifestations after brain injury. It's written about  the more conventional  TBI, you know, car accidents and violent blows to the head. You will see that  pharmaceutical injuries  are very similar in terms of symptoms.

Mourning, loss and vision

This will aways be in my heart: that people will be offered meaningful options to toxic psychiatry and that a kaleidoscopic infrastructure of care will rise up as a result of our holding this vision and passing it on. Multiple options are offered that change as people grow and change. Healing is not stagnant...what we need changes daily and by the minute. That the system will be fluid and alive, growing and changing just like those who need healing within it. That the "system" will actually be the village. Real egalitarian community...a world in which every human being is equal to every other human being.  ...

On trauma (The Sinner, Netflix)

What I just finished was, “The Sinner” (Netflix) …a deep and disturbing and profoundly beautiful filmed series about heinous ongoing trauma and how it played out for this particular woman. ...

Trauma, injury, illness, waking up

It’s strange how it works, or maybe it’s not, but trauma, injury and illness can truly be passageways to waking up and it’s not generally appreciated at all in western medicine which seeks to suppress everything and thus stop that process. Tragic really.

Meditation on death, impermanence and post traumatic stress

Holding, holding, holding...feel the holding, wrapped up with anger, resistance, fear....FEEL it, feel it, feel it... and let it be...all things pass...recognizing and allowing seems to help it move... When post traumatic stress is leaving the body it brings up all manner of feelings that have been locked in. If I'm not carefully mindful it's... Continue Reading →

Retaining agency while getting care

The catch - 22 I thought about the other day: The mental health system tells clients/patients/consumers that they need better boundaries while expecting them to ignore their boundaries.
