Our Native Ancestors kept and maintained detailed records of time and the entire history of creation, recorded as far back as human awareness was able to be recorded. These Great Grandparents of ours carved twenty five thousand years of life and evolution on the face of the pyramids and stones. By examining the patterns of time and the movement of the planets, our Great Grandparents were able recognize that life moves in beautiful and predictable patterns. These patterns can be measured and studied so that, we as humans, can move in sync with the dance of Creation. To move with the rhythm...

When Joy Seems Hard to Find

Posted by drjorge in Healing, Self Help, UncategorizedJan 28th, 2010 | 2 Comments

Are there times when joy is absent or do we choose to distance ourselves from our own bliss? It is easy to get bogged down with all of the very real problems of the world. We live with the false notion that life is passing us by and we are not achieving what we expected. The feeling leaves us with a desperate need to work harder, to try harder, only to find that we feel tired, more afraid and fearful. Today, I received a text from my dear friend telling me that this past Monday was Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year. This is, of course, a marketing myth created by a company...

Breaking the Cycle of Addiction: ☼Last Thursday, April 16th I was invited to present at Hased House, a shelter in Aurora, Illinois for homeless men and women many who are suffering from chronic addiction problems. A heartfelt thanks to Maria Chazaro for her invitation. The title of my presentation was, “Breaking the Chain of Addiction”.

As a society, we are very confused about our thoughts regarding the addict...

THE FIFTH SUN RISES IN MEXICO CITY! ☼I just returned from a most momentous trip to Mexico City.

My Worldview

☼Today, we are all living in a vastly changing world that highly demands our time and energy and impacts our mental and physical health. The idea of an integrated approach to health and wellness is more relevant than ever before. As a clinical and research psychologist, I believe that communities hold the answer to their health and wellness. Our ancestors have thought that there are Four Pillars of Strength guiding our personal and social relationship. Culture, spirituality, family and self knowledge create a foundation and represent the key to improve individual and a community’s wellbeing....
