Things that make you go Hmmmm
Anger aims at restoring lost control and often achieves at least an illusion of it.
Maria Popova • Philosopher Martha Nussbaum on Anger, Forgiveness, the Emotional Machinery of Trust, and the Only Fruitful Response to Betrayal in Intimate Relationships
Many of us are confused, finding ourselves fighting for the very globalist institutions — World Bank, International Monetary Fund, European Union and trade zone — we had been protesting against ten years earlier. Last week, I wrote about the way the institutions we may have once thought were promoting Enlightenment values or developing the world’s... See more

Effectiveness is always contingent on the desired effect.
The effects we're least likely to examine closely are often those that perpetuate the status quo or serve interests other than our own.

Tara McMullin • What Works?
Branding for healers might have a different meaning than branding for corporations.
Before big business talked of branding, animals were branded - marked by hot iron to note them as belonging to some farmer.
For healers, it might be that life brands you in some way.
Revealing your brand might mean revealing where you were hurt and marked by life, the terrain of hurt you know well enough to help others with.
It could be that life has branded you in a particular way, marking you as belonging to a certain life -path.
One of the truest things I know about niching is this: our deepest wound is often a doorway to our truest niche.
The places you've struggled in your life and overcome are often the best things you can help your clients with.
People struggle with their niche for years and then they look down and see how life has branded them and, like the tattoo artist might do with an ugly scar, they've made beauty out of and around it.
Isn't it true for your life?
You went through some ugliness and you've turned it into your gift for the world.
And so, for healers, branding might not be a creative act but a revelatory one.
It might be less about sitting down and trying to imagine what it might be and more about revealing to others what it already is.
The chances are that you were branded by life a long time ago.
And it took a long time to heal.
And then longer to adorn it and honour it.
Ah, but the revealing it?
That's often the hardest step.
And so I'll offer this one piece of advice:
Show them your scars, not your wounds.
Show them the places you've healed not the places you haven't.
Keep healing your wounds but keep those places where you're still tender and vulnerable to those you trust.
It might be that you don't need to go through a branding process but that you already have been.
It might be that you've become the person you needed when you were younger and who others, who are younger, need now.
I have a short YouTube video that goes into this idea further. If you'd like to learn more, comment the word 'BRANDING' below.
Social Dynamics = Energy Economics
Every social interaction is a transaction. The currency? Neurological data. Broadcasted from your body via your electromagnetic field. You are constantly transmitting—consciously or not.
In healthy relationships, this data is exchanged mutually. Nourishing. Balancing. Reciprocal. You give, you receive. Simple.

Here's what I suspect would actually happen if I could send a letter back: I'd agonize over what to say, write something carefully calibrated and wise, and my younger self would read it with mild interest, think "yeah, yeah, I get it," and then continue making exactly the mistakes I made. Maybe they’d have a few new anxieties about whether he was... See more
