Relaxing into Discomfort Relaxing into DiscomfortRelaxing Into Discomfort (c)2015 Joan M. Newcomb I'm in Germany, and it's been one roller coaster ride since we got here.  There were 32mph winds when we landed (which should have been a clue for the rest of the trip). We came from Madrid, where it was nearly 80 degrees, and in Germany it was…
How To Have A Rich Life How To Have A Rich LifeHow To Have A Rich Life (c)2015 Joan M. Newcomb I'm in Madrid, visiting my son.  Spain is a great place to recover from jet lag. Their sense of time is totally different than the US.  Their workday starts at 9am, their lunch break is from 3-5pm, then everyone goes back to work until 7:30…
doors of possibilities slamming open Doors of possibilities slamming openThis has been a powerful week.  We've had the last of 7th Pluto/Uranus Squares, which began in 2012,  I've heard that the astrology is similar to 1928-1932 and the late 1960's, but even more powerful.  And today was both a New Moon Solar Eclipse *and* the Equinox. An eclipse has 3x…
the 4th dimension the 4th dimensionI just rewatched a wonderful clip of Carl Sagan explaining the 4th dimension. He does it by demonstrating on a table with using square pieces of paper to represent '2 dimensional beings', which he calls 'Flatlanders'. These 'Flatlanders' only perceive the world in 2 dimensions. They can go forward…
We Create the Reality of Taxes We Create the Reality of Taxes"In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."  Benjamin Franklin This may be a little premature (for both topics), but I was having a conversation with Janet, my radio show co-host about recording a show in April. She thought it could be about money, as it is…
anchoring into Anchoring IntoI almost typed 2016.  And I left out "anchoring into". For the last couple months, I've been planning a trip to Europe.  I told my mother, years ago, that I'd take her ashes to every place she'd lived.  As a Geographer, the idea struck her fancy. It's been a multilayered project.…
Emotions are the language of the body. Consciousness only experiences joy. Emotions are the language of the body, Consciousness only experiences joy. On our radio show, Conscious Conversations with Joan and Janet, the theme for February is about Love.  We started with emotions, then love, and our most recent show was on sexuality. Emotions are the language of the body.  Consciousness only experiences joy.  Body…
About Valentine's Day About Valentine's DayNothing like writing an article about Valentine's day on Friday the 13th... When I was trying to come up with a catchy title for this article, I thought about doing an anagram on the word love. Evol sounds more like 'evil' than evolve.  It just goes to show that this is a planet of dichotomies…
Struggling with depression Struggling with depressionFor many people, February is a tough month.  In the northern hemisphere, Winter is dragging on, and the lack of warmth and sunshine has been taking it's toll.  The holidays are over, although Valentine's Day is coming up, which brings up relationship issues.  And many of us are…
Pattern Disruptors - Stop Painful Interactions NOW! Pattern Disruptors, Stop Painful Interactions NOWWe made it through the holidays, but this year has been a doozy so far.  We've stepped up to a new evolution of Consciousness and all sorts of things are coming out of the woodwork.  When you're vibrating at a higher level, things that are dense get dislodged. It may feel like your…
