The burned out nurse is the pioneer portal for a new wave…washing over the shore of nursing. The burned out nurse finds her(him)self floundering like a lost fish on the sand, thrown up on the beach by weariness and tempest, not knowing it’s only low tide. Surrendering to the now, as it is, and stilling, opens to a deeper, slower, ancient tide. Then the real work begins.

“In your heart is a mysterious portal that interconnects the infinite ocean of Love to the oceanic consciousness in your body. Ground substance, as the inner ocean of the body, is a liquid connective tissue inside and outside every cell that unites the awareness of 50 trillion cells as one consciousness. So body as microcosm reflects macrocosm: our individual consciousness is an expression of the whole. Paradoxically, by descending inward to heart we contact the outer shimmering, pulsing oceanic heart of mother earth. And since the heart of the Mother is one with the infinite heart, we directly realize ourselves as Love – all that is – expressed as body.”
