Celebrating Easter (for those of us who didn’t get it)

Last updated on: April 5, 2015 at 2:01 am   By Julie Colwell

Have you ever been betrayed? Have you ever suffered? Felt anguished, tortured, forsaken? Me too. We try to figure it out, don’t we? Understand what’s the point, why go on when it’s so clearly hopeless? I grew up in the Episcopalian Church. I loved going to church, watching the priests in their beautiful vestments, immersing myself in the splendor of the high ceilings and stained glass. But as much as I strained to understand, I never could figure out what the heck... Read more

The power of love–pass it on!

Last updated on: February 12, 2015 at 3:46 pm   By Julie Colwell

We’ve heard these ideas over and over: Love is powerful. Love heals all wounds. Love what is. Love yourself. Love your neighbor as yourself.  All you need is love. For many years, I had no idea what people were talking about. Sure, I loved my family and friends. I had romantic partners and knew that I was “in love” with them. But I had no concept of love as an energy, and how to actually source that energy. Then I... Read more

Do you live in a friendly universe?

Last updated on: January 26, 2015 at 4:39 pm   By Julie Colwell

Do you live in a friendly universe?   “I think the most important question facing humanity is, ‘Is the universe a friendly place?’ This is the first and most basic question all people must answer for themselves.” Albert Einstein I’ve been reading a wonderful book by a veterinarian, Linda Bender, DVM, called Animal Wisdom. I expected to read Dr. Bender’s perspective on animals in the world, how humans are messing up their habitat, and what we can do about it. What... Read more

Befriending the darkness

Last updated on: October 26, 2014 at 6:33 pm   By Julie Colwell

We’re moving into the darkest time of the year. The days are shortening; the nights seem to be increasing their steady pull into the intensity of shadow and black. Halloween—with its ghosts and ghoulish goblins, its focus on death and the macabre—stalks us through leaves swirling in the fall wind. Much of my work lately has focused on living “Above the Line.” That is, to noticing when I’m “Below the Line,” in the Reactive Brain states of fear or anger... Read more

What you’re feeling is between you and you

Last updated on: August 31, 2014 at 11:50 am   By Julie Colwell

(I facilitate a wonderful group called the Life Alignment Program. An excellent question came up from one of the members and I decided to share my response here.)  The question: “Isn’t the point to express feelings, whenever and wherever, in order to be transparent and authentic?” Communicating about your emotional world to those around you is a powerful step towards living a more authentic life. However, I think people get confused as to the goal of that communication. Specifically, it’s... Read more
