Create Calm
My friend and colleague, Naturopathic Doctor Katie Thomson Aitken has written a book that I think could be useful to many readers on this blog.
The book is an introduction to reducing anxiety. I love her language: Create Calm. This is something that we can create. Through repeated small actions on our own behalf every day.
Katie writes in a straightforward open-hearted way about physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual strategies and insights that can help you relax.
Here are the Amazon links:
Myself, I am swimming in figure eights at the bottom of the lake. It’s cold down here. The truest thing I can say is that from this depth most of my life appears to have been grasping, flailing....
That’s not a judgment of myself - it’s clarity. Clarity from the depths.
Someone close to me said the most lovely thing this morning. He said - if most of your life has been in fear imagine what’s going to happen when that energy gets transmuted into grounded life force energy.
I feel a bit teary thinking of this. The tears warm the lake water slightly.
