Be Still & Know That I Am God.
Be still…It’s really such a simple request and such an impossibly difficult task for so many of us as we get older and more acculturated. It certainly has been for me. I can barely talk on the phone for 15 minutes without washing the dishes or multi-tasking in some other way. America is a culture of action. We do. We don’t sit.

For some reason lately I have been seeing quite a number of brand new social workers for supervision, some of whom are still in graduate school. It has been a poignant and privileged rite of passage for me after all these years to be passing on what I’ve learned.

It's axiomatic that you get what you pay for. On observation, however, I believe that there are times we get more than we bargain for, not all of it good. In the case of current media-incitements, we get much more and we are rarely aware of it.

Healing, then, is more than a technique. It is an art that utilizes every resource a person brings to bear—will, patience, strength, attitude as well as imagination.

I was watching a group of children play the other day and noticed how very differently they approached the same situation. A large boy in the group was tackling the jungle gym as if he were Crocodile Dundee. Another boy approached it as if he were circling prey. A girl swung upside oblivious to the others. Yet another saw it as a death trap and clung to her mother despite all the reassurances she could give her.

Some people are finally just saying "no." One-third of the nurses in Britain have refused the vaccine even though it might mean losing their jobs. The internet is literally buzzing with resistance of the right kind–finally. And people are getting smart.

With the scandals, the expulsions and the media circuses behind him, Teddy seemed to have turned a corner, remaking himself as an idealistic, serious, passionate campaigner for the downtrodden. And he did his homework. He fought tirelessly for civil rights, for the disabled, for health care, and voting reform.

I know a young woman who has had symptoms of anxiety for many years and the allopathic doctors she has seen diagnosed her as depressed. But as her latest incident demonstrates, these broad terms–anxiety, depression–do us very little good if we are to truly help someone heal. What they do–and the reason why doctors continue to use them as sweepingly as they do–is they are convenient forms of shorthand that directly point to pharmaceutical interventions. They do not, however, tell us anything about the nature of the anxiety, the way it manifests, what about the person and their health (or lack thereof) to which it is both pointing and from which it is springing. If those terms are all we use, we can get ourselves into serious trouble.

I've been practicing homeopathy for more than 10 years and using it for nearly 25. You would imagine that after all that time, watching patients, pets and friends get sick and then so gracefully get better, I'd be somewhat inured or at least not so easily impressed. But I have to admit that when I see cures effected by those little "inert" pellets I'm still surprised and delighted by how magical it can be.
