Michael Lipson, PhD, Reviews: She Was Always There: Sophia as a Story for Our Time by Signe Schaefer
Just in time for this year of focus on Rudolf Steiner’s Foundation Stone Meditation, Signe Eklund Schaefer has written a most unusual book with at least one unique contribution in regard to that enigmatic and comprehensive meditation. To foreground, or perhaps background, this contribution, Schaefer includes a full reprinting of the Foundation Stone as an appendix. But more on that at the end of the review. The main effect of the book is to welcome us all into Schaefer’s lifelong experience of Sophia, the primordial being of wisdom, a current presence and future promise for humanity. This being has undergone changes and held different names in many cultures–Isis, Sophia, Mary, Gaia, Guan Yin, and others.
Uncovering Hidden Associations:
An Inside Look at an EMDR Session
One of the benefits of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is its ease at unveiling hidden associations between current difficulties and life events from our past. Here, I want to share an inside glimpse of an EMDR session to elucidate how intertwined our day-to-day reactions are with past life events. The session occurred near the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
Creating Connection to Earth and Spirit
Imagine entering a pristine old-growth forest replete with the organic luster of life. Your senses jump at the aliveness of this new world around you. You close your eyes and feel it in you. You hear the breeze, the birds, and the insects. You smell the richness of the soil and feel the pureness, soaking in everything around you and at your feet as if for the very first time. This is not a normal place or time; it is alive with magic and wonder, timeless yet ephemeral. This is also the sensation one gets when one enters a mature biodynamic orchard–alive and magical.
