Magpie Moment: Simple
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the word “simple.”
I like simple joys. Noticing a blossom. Cooking in a quiet kitchen. Knitting in garter stitch.
And yet I tend to complicated things. I like my men intricate. I like my children smart. I like my communities honest. I like my spirituality customized.
When I was in ordained ministry, my mentor used to say “You only preach the sermons you need to hear.” Perhaps that is why I am so often inviting you to do less, to slow down and notice–because the sermon I need to hear, often and on endless repeat, is “be simple.”
These past few weeks I’ve noticed a lot of my decisions have not erred on the side of simple. Here is the evidence:
The puppy does not want her $8 dog toy, she wants the cap from the hairspray bottle.
My family prefers simple roasted tomatoes over the six-step carbonara sauce.
A rotating schedule of various types of yoga sounds virtuous, but yoga only happens if I hit the same class at the same time, every day.
Calling a friend for a chat is a lot easier than trying to form a women’s circle.
I forgot to keep it simple.
I’ve noticed that this happens most when I am over scheduled. Flying from thing to thing is not grounding. And the last few weeks of summer got a little chaotic. When things move too fast they lose their meaning. Or rather, we cannot experience their meaning because they slip by too quickly. When this happens, my first impulse to make each event more meaningful by adding a layer of complexity. The note for the neighbor-girl’s birthday suddenly has to be a mixed media collage. The dinner for a friend has to be eggplant lasagna, not tacos. And yet, at times like these what I need to do is strip things down to their essential core; to slow things down and let my life be the purest of water.
The place I’ve most noticed my tendency towards complexification is in my online soulcare community, Flock. When I launched Flock two years ago I gave it a lot of bells and whistles. Eight ongoing teachers! Live calls! Forums! I was eager to host you and to host you well, and I wanted to give you a big bang for you buck. The result was that the whole complex thing was held together with tinfoil and chewing gum. And when I hired a developer to shore up the website’s structure, the “improvements” sent it crashing.
First I got mad. Then I sobbed. Then I had an epiphany.
Flock was not simple.
Stitching together various software programs made things complicated behind the scenes. I spent more time fiddling with bad links and buggy software than I spent with my community. My core competencies –writing and teaching–were getting pushed aside by technical bells and whistles. I needed to get back to The Simple.
When I first realized the entire structure of my two-year project had to be changed, I was devastated. I immediately started grieving. I had to mourn the hours I had put in, the dreams I had held. Someone once told me not to get nostalgic about the imagined future. As a visionary this is easy to do–to get attached to a version of the future that you’ve nurtured in your imagination. I had to stop being nostalgic for a version of online community that was not within my skill set. I had to say goodbye to that vision. I had to grieve it’s loss.
To my surprise, this grieving process has kicked me out of my State of Complication. I feel stripped down, and bare. For a few days I was so sad that I had to focus on the very basics. Get up. Feed the children. Listen. Sleep. Repeat. Living in that mandated state of simplicity helped me notice my hunger for ease, for flow, for the way your path is easier to walk when you aren’t resistant to the reality of your circumstances.
Now that the grief is starting to pass, I’m beginning to have new visions. Simpler visions.
I am slowing down and letting the new form of Flock come into focus. As I do so, I am practicing the discipline of simplicity. I keep trying to complicate things — to add more layers and make it more spectacular. But really, my whole gig is about the simple soulful moments in life. So every time my plans wander into things that require flow charts and multi-colored sharpies, I call myself back to simplicity.
What about you, my Magpie? What in your life could stand a little simple? Maybe your meals could fit in one bowl instead of three courses. Maybe you could be nicer to your body just by drinking an extra glass of water. Maybe you could rest more by taking in less media. Maybe you can be kind to your own tender soul.
My blessing for you today is this: May simple joy, simple beauty, and simple solutions greet you at every bend in the river.
Much Warmth,
Rachelle

Relig-ish: My Right-fit Practice with Christine Reed
Today we’d like to introduce Christine Reed from Bliss Chick. We ask Christine to share with us about her right-fit spiritual practice. Get ready to move…
Christine Claire Reed is a dancer, an intuitive healing dance educator, and a writer at blisschick.net She returned to dance at the age of 40 and has been experimenting with her body ever since. You can find her on Twitter, Facebook, and her website.
SoulCare: Caring for the Soul through the Body
by Christine Reed
In some Celtic traditions, they describe the soul as residing outside the body rather than in. They say we are walking around inside the soul. I love the imagery this evokes, and it also matches Eastern beliefs about our aura extending out from the physical body. (There is so much cross-over and exchange between the East and the Celts, but that is for another time.)
When I am leading intuitive healing dance, I emphasize the body as the gate to the spirit and teach that the breath is the key that opens that gate. These three elements are inextricably bound together; we cannot separate them and if we try, dis-ease (of mind, body, and/or spirit) is the result.
For instance, it is a fallacy to believe that it is possible — or even a “right” goal — to ever transcend the body. We are manifested physically to have a physical experience, to grow spirit through sensually attained wisdom.
To take the most excellent care of your soul or your spirit means taking the most excellent care of your body.
To grow the soul, to attain wisdom, we must be firmly rooted in the body and the body must be attended to every day in a gentle and loving way.
Too many of us compartmentalize our body care. For instance, we think in terms of “exercise” and “task” and “goal” and “obligation,” rather than joyful play and experimentation.
We head to the gym and beat ourselves up with machinery. We try to eat “perfectly” rather than for pleasure. We avoid “bad foods.”
The body is seen as a vehicle for the mind and spirit when it is an equal to each of those aspects of ourselves.
And yet…
I think this is what happens in a culture founded by Puritans.
As I sit in Mass a few times a week, I ponder the body on the crucifix. I think about how it is an empty cross that hangs in protestant churches and this makes sense in a culture that sees the body as never good enough or even sinful. The body is the point, the crucifix says to me. The body is the point, most paganism cries out.
Even in some factions of the yoga community, we are dangerously close to throwing the body out yet again. We are dangerously close to becoming Puritanical Yoginis as more writers and thinkers in that community are judgmental of anyone’s yoga which they perceive as too body centered and not “spiritual” enough.
To tend to the soul, we must tend to the body.
How do you tend to your most precious self?
Here is a very basic level practice for intuitive healing dance: Pick a piece of music. Drumming is great. Anything by the avant garde cellist Zoe Keating is amazing for this exercise. Preferably something with which you have no history. Put the music on when you are feeling very safe. Stand with eyes closed and near no mirrors. Start the music and just breathe deeply into the belly. Imagine that you are pulling breath and energy up through your feet as you inhale, and then share energy back down into the earth as you exhale. Keep doing this until movement happens. Do not move on your own. Wait until breath and rhythm compel the movement from the inside. (Have your music on repeat in case this takes many minutes.) Remember to envision your body INSIDE your soul and see your dancing as a way to clean out this critical area and make way for fresh, invigorated, creative energy.

Where Soulcare Meets World Care: Within Every Woman-The Film
This year at Magpie Girl, we are exploring the place “Where Soulcare and Worldcare Meets.” We want to know:
- Can we take care of ourselves (and our families, and our jobs) and have enough (emotion, money, time) to give away?
- Can we bring hope to dark places without burning out?
- Can we afford to fall in love with a cause?
- Can we use art to serve our world?
Yes. Yes, we can.
To that end, Magpie Girl is proud to feature new projects where Art walks hand-in-hand with Service. (They make a nice couple, don’t you think?) Each of these projects will be funded through donations made to Kickstarter, an excellent site dedicated to helping artful start-ups micro-source the funding they need. (You know, so they can do Big Things without burning out.) Here’s a great project to give a dime to this month…
Within Every Women-The Film
Women. What comes to mind when you think of women? Many of think of bravery, of strength, of overcoming spirits. It’s a story that permeates throughout the world—women who overcome great challenges to survive for their sake and the sake of their families and their communities.
Within Every Women is a documentary that seeks to tell the stories of women in Asia who were forced into sexually slavery during World War II. During World War II many women and even female children were held in military “comfort” camps in South Korea, China and the Philippines. It is “considered the largest institutionalized rape system in world history.” The film aims to tell the stories of the “Grandmothers,” as they are now called, who endured such harsh treatment. The film is meant to “help peel back the layers of silence, shame and sacrifice they have endured…[and] reveal their wisdom, resilience and compassion.”
In order to reach a mass audience Within Every Women has asked for funding through Kickstarter. They are just days away from their deadline and are still in need of almost $500.
Please visit their Kickstarter page to watch their videos, read their story and to contribute to Within Every Women. Lets help tell these stories through art and bring about healing not just for the “Grandmothers” of Asia, but for all women who have experienced abuse.

- Can we bring hope to dark places without burning out?
- Can we afford to fall in love with a cause?

+++
Jenn, who are you and what are you doing?
I am a Seattle based student and writer (and Rachelle’s assistant). I am currently studying International Development and Anthropology. This summer I’m taking part in a 2-week trip to Rajasthan, India. I’ll be working with a group of medical professionals as well as engineers, faculty, and students. We’ll be providing dental care, general medicine and building composting toilets. Many of the people we’ll be working with live in extreme poverty. They have little access to health care and due to the lack of sanitation infrastructure they often suffer from water related illness. By providing health care and implementing sustainable sanitation facilities the project will address immediate needs and put a strategy into place for long-term health.
1. How did you become passionate about your subject/project?
In 2006 I went on an around the world trip that gave me the opportunity to volunteer in South Asia and The Middle East. Before this trip I had very little awareness of poverty and no understanding of infrastructure and public health. Everywhere I worked I encountered refugees and those considered to be the “poorest of the poor.” After the 2006 trip and two months in Turkey in 2007 I read a number of books about global health and infrastructure. I also started learning about displaced people and asylum seekers. My passion was immediately directed to Central Asia. My eyes were opened to the great disparity between the rich and the poor. I realized how many people are impoverished and oppressed. It only made sense that I would commit my life to empowerment and helping communities access the resources they need to build better futures for themselves, their families and their countries. (Read my blog for more stories about India).
2. How do you feel your art helps care for the communities you are focusing on?
I try to tell people’s stories in a way that gives them dignity. It’s a not a direct path yet, from my work to their lives. However, I know that I’m helping make people aware of both the needs and the strength of those living in poverty. Because my focus right now is primarily my education I’m able to expand my research and continue volunteering overseas. Both of these things give me the depth of information I need as well as the face-to-face experience needed to truthfully tell someone’s story. I’m excited about the trip in August because when I first set out in 2006 I had no idea that this was what I was going to become passionate about. My ears, eyes and heart will open in a whole new way on this trip. I’ve learned how to listen not for my sake, but for theirs. In the end I hope that inspires people to give to these communities in sustainable ways as well as learn about the issues that plague much of the world. I hope people take action.
3. How does your passion for world-care nourish you?
Without that passion I am nothing. I’m not sure how to explain it. Being able to take the time to read The Economist or watch Al Jezeera is really restful for me. I think when I am constantly reminded that the world is bigger than some of the petty things around me it reminds me of why I work so hard. During the dead of winter in Seattle it can be really hard to get out of bed in the morning. I often need to remind myself that I’m doing it for the children in Afghanistan who don’t yet have the opportunity to go to school or for women who die or suffer from pregnancy related complications because they had no way to get a hospital. Reminding myself that I am part of the greater global community revives me and gives me the energy I need keep pursuing me goals. The idea of giving life helps give me life.
+++
To Donate: The project runs from August 20th to September 3rd. I received a $500 scholarship for the trip but still need an additional $2500 to cover the remainder of the costs (program fee, airfare, visa, vaccination, ect.). I already have around $1610 (in addition to the scholarship) saved and donated! If you want to donate to the trip you can do so through the donate button on my blog.

Where Soulcare Meets Worldcare: The Soul in Bloom
This year at Magpie Girl, we are exploring the place “Where Soulcare and Worldcare Meet.” We want to know:
- Can we take care of ourselves (and our families, and our jobs) and have enough (emotion, money, time) to give away?
- Can we bring hope to dark places without burning out?
- Can we afford to fall in love with a cause?
- Can we use art to serve our world?
Yes. Yes, we can.
To that end, Magpie Girl is proud to feature new projects where Art walks hand-in-hand with Service. (They make a nice couple, don’t you think?) Introducing blogger Graciel of Evenstar Art and her new magazine…
+++
Our lives are full of constant change. Our seasons are remembered in the form of tastes, smells, sounds and images. Graciel from Evenstar Art has put these images into magazine form.
Using past blog posts and images from her travels around the world, she published the first issue of The Soul in Bloom in early April. She wants “the messages of hope and love and encouragement to stand out…to uplift and give encouragement to any one who reads it.”
The Spring Issue of The Soul in Bloom is the first of four issues to be published this year highlighting the seasons of Graciel’s five-year blogging adventure. Wouldn’t this beautiful book be a great way to connect Soulcare with Worldcare. Leave it in the waiting room of a hospital or medical office. Give it to someone at a nursing home. Or give one to your child’s teacher as a thank you give.
Spread beauty. Spread love.
Graciel brings us her bits of beauty and love through 47 pages of images and beautifully written essays. The magazines, printed on demand for the sake of art not profit, are available here for $14.95 + shipping.

Graciel is an inquisitive artist, floral arranger and blogger. She lives in New York state and helps stray cats find loving homes. The ventures overseas and shares her life with us at Evenstar Art.
Standing in Your Own Power: Your Body Knows
This post is part of an on-going series inspired by reader’s comments to this initial post. To read all the posts on Standing in Your Own Power, click here.
As a part of my quest for migraine relief, I learned a technique chiropractors and other doctors use called applied kinesiology or muscle testing. This technique taps into your body’s intuitive knowledge to diagnose various problems. Muscle testing helped me determine which foods would trigger my migraines on any given day. A truly skilled practitioner can even determine how much of a given food will trigger a migraine, or how many tablets of a given supplement you might need to take. But even rudimentary skills at this technique can proved helpful in any number of settings.
Muscle testing is great for getting around chatty Gremlins and circumnavigating self-sabotaging thoughts. It helps you stand in your own power by tapping into your body’s deep wisdom and intuition. Here’s how to do it in a few easy steps. (You’ll need a friend to help you.)
1) Write the different things you are considering on small pieces of paper. Create a range of options. For instance, if you are try to decide to help a friend out of financial straits, your options could be:
- “Should I loan them X amount of dollars.”
- “Should I loan them x (smaller amount) of dollars?”
- “Should I give them x amount of dollars?”
2) First, while standing, shake your hands to discharge any tensions or energy you are holding around the decision making process. Ask your friend, the Tester, to do the same.
3) Extend your non-dominate hand out to one side, parallel to the ground. Have your Tester press down on your forearm to gauge how much strength you generally have in that arm. (The Tester can put one hand on your opposite shoulder for counter balance, but this may not be necessary.)
4) Now hold the first decision option in your other hand. Extend your non-dominate arm again and have your Tester press down on it with the same amount of force. If your arm remains strong, your body is intuitively telling you that is a decision your mind/body are in agreement with. If it weakens or goes down, it’s the wrong answer.
5) Between each test, move away from the slips of paper and shake off your hands. (Have the tester do the same.) When you hold each price in your hand, think about the decision, and imagine completing that option. You can also do this “blind” by folding the pieces of paper in half. It’s interesting to see if you get the same results.
Have fun and let me know how this technique works for you!

Today in our Standing in Your Own Power series, I’d like to share a visualization technique taught to me by Leonie Allen, host of Goddess Guidebook and creator of the Chakra Healing Guided Meditation Kit. (And now proud new mama of baby Ostara!)
Last year, I called Leonie because I was feeling insecure – tossed about by a fistful of opinions and ideas, none of which I was sure were mine. Leonie walked me through a chakra cleansing process (something I know very little about.) She said my Manipura Chakra, in the solar plexus, was dim. The Manipura Chakra is the source of personal power and will power. So Leonie asked me to focus on that chakra in this way:
1) Visualize a yellow or golden symbol of power. (A scepter immediately sprang to mind for me.)
2) From a comfortable seated position, place your hands over your solar plexus (navel).
3) Take ten deep breaths focusing on your solar plexus and visualizing your power symbol there.
I did this every morning for about a month to encourage a feeling of being rooted in a place of personal power. (It really helped!)

Standing in Your Own Power: Why so Serious? Practice Whimsy.
Have you seen Fond of Snape’s 365 days series? That woman really gets whimsy!

____________________
My favorite form of exercise is swimming, which I do several times a week. Conventional wisdom says I should follow a training program. You know the drill — so many laps of this kind of stroke, so many of that. Instead, I tend to just lollygag along with a nice even-paced breaststroke. Why? So I can concentrate. On what you say? On fan fiction.
As an NF (as in Meyers Briggs ENFJ) I get super-involved with stories. There is an almost constant narrative going on in my head. I wonder what the deal is with that older woman with 4 babies in one stroller? What would have happened if I had done drama in college? Where did the bus driver immigrate from? This is especially true for me with TV characters. I finished Big Love season 3 weeks ago, and I’m still wondering “How is Margene’s small business going?” When I watch a story I get very, VERY involved.
But I’m also a high ranking “J” in Meyers Briggs, which means I am quite serious most of the time. I wonder a lot about the merits of my decisions. I worry almost obsessively over the question, “What’s next?” All that worry and wondering can be powerful. It lets me live with intention and encourages me to cast my Mondo Beyondo dreams out into the Universe. But it can also become a burden, weighing me down and making me curmudgeonly.
I used to use my pool time to make plans for the day, writing and re-writing long tuex duex lists in my head and hoping I’d remember them until I could get my hands on a pen. Then one day I found my mind wandering to some TV show or another, creating a new plot line for a favorite character.
“Nonsense,” said my Gremlins. “What a waste of time.” (Gremlins are very good at listening to Conventional Wisdom.)
“Voila!” said The Muse. “Embrace whimsy.”
And so now as I swim, I write stories in my head. Right now I’m enjoying a sub-plot for the character of Walter Bishop on The Fringe. He delights me. In my whimsical version he is the benevolent ringmaster of a traveling circus. I think it may all be in his mind — a sort of coping mechanism during his stay in the mental institution. It’s ever so entertaining and makes 45 minutes of lap time just fly by!
Now, if you are still with me you may be wondering, “What has this got to do with standing in your own power?” In response I ask you to remember that whimsy is the antidote to blind obedience. Practicing Whimsy helps you thumb your nose at what “they” say. It tunes into your internal voice of play and wonder, and turns down the overly-ambitious workaholic voice that our consumerist, Protestant-work-ethic culture has hammered into our heads. It frees you.
Go ahead, give it at try. What whimsical impulse lies at the tip of your tongue? Here are some fun ones I can think of:
-Buy a basket of strawberries (yes, even out of season.)
-Use Crayolas.
-Ask a stranger to let you pet their puppy.
-That thing you loved doing as a kid — rollerskating, making models, lining up the dominoes. Do it again.
-Spin in circles until you collapse on the grass. Watch the clouds spin.
-Wear ponytails, braids, striped socks.
What will you do today to re-introduce yourself to whimsy? Tell us in the comments below and be an inspiration to our oh-so-serious selves. To read more about Whimsy, click here and here.

Standing in Your Own Power: Correspond with The Muse
My current method of corresponding with The Muse — letters to Vincent.
This is an on-going series inspired by reader’s comments to this initial post. To read all the posts on Standing in Your Own Power, click here.
To me, the Muse is that internal voice that guides and inspires me. She is not an external guest who comes to visit, but an internal source of wisdom dwelling within. Because the language of the Trinity is meaningful to me and because the world of creativity and art are so intrinsic to whom I am – I have come to think of The Muse and The Spirit synonymously. She turns my head, shows me where to go, and as we travel she holds my hand (or gives me a shove!)
Standing in your own power requires that you stop listening to external sources of authority, and learn to tune into your internal voice of authority – your instinct, your intuition, your Muse. Corresponding with The Muse turns down the volume on the external static, and turns up the dial on your intuitive voice.
Embracing Whimsy is one of the main ways I have come to correspond with The Muse. To me the language of whimsy is The Muse’s native tongue—my native tongue, long forgotten. I have been well-trained by the Institutions (external authority). Their voice is familiar to me. It is the language I have spoke then longest. Their instructions about “how it is done” ring loud in my ears. I tend to blindly obey the institutional voice.
Whimsy is the antidote to blind obedience. Whimsy is my native tongue, though I barely remember a time when I spoke it so easily. Now, whenever I have the impulse to do something “they” would think is ridiculous, I recognize it as Whimsy, the voice of the Muse, and I try to leap. This helps me stretch my “listening-to-my-intuition” muscles, and lets me practices saying “yes” to intuition. Here are some things that I’ve done which seem Whimsical to me (and therefore inspired by The Muse):
-I moved to Denmark just to do something different.
-I have regularly have breakfast with Vincent Van Gogh (his books and art) and write him letters.
-I joined a Danish gospel choir, though I can’t understand a thing the director is saying.
-I bought a vintage scrapbook of Danish theatre performances with hand drawn illustrations.
None of these things makes much sense. Certainly “they” would not suggest such a course of action. Yet each of them has shaped my life in a significant way. Each of them is transforming me, helping me become. The Muse and her voice of Whimsy led me here. Without her I would not have found my way.
What does the Muse sound like in your heart, in your ear? How might you correspond with her? Literally– though writing her letters (and penning her answers back)? Verbally–through talking aloud in an empty room, through singing in the shower? Physically — through the sign language of yoga, or running, or swimming? Where can you hear the voice of your inspiration? How can you camp out there and practice your native tongue?
