What follows is a list of things done- projects, excursions, activities: a shopping list of experiences. Doing and getting things done is highly valued in our culture. But there’s another way to experience and process the world: The mysterious and enigmatic state called Being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/7fdc9333-1dbb-45c6-9c5f-8e03a4904049/Being.jpg Musings - ‘Doing Nothing’ Being is not the same thing as relaxing, although you can relax in this state. It is also not zoning out or falling asleep. Being is receptive while Doing is active. If you think of Doing as a horizontal axis: How Much? Being is the vertical axis: How Deep? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/a4944cf8-bce1-4789-87bf-b3a2c01085df/Being+is%2C+is+not.jpg Musings - ‘Doing Nothing’ - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/1763241557104-ULOXCUM7DLPKMM9WDSQZ/unsplash-image-u_l75LNuaHc.jpg Musings - ‘Doing Nothing’ - Young children are pros at Being. They spend large amounts of time exploring the world in ways that are very simple like collecting rocks, watching birds, or picking up and examining sticks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/7bd235d9-2d49-4b80-9b36-34b8fe60f74f/view Musings - ‘Doing Nothing’ - When I sit down to meditate, I’m looking at my internal space the way you might sit and take in a view. I’m noticing what’s there and how I feel and I’m also using visualization tools to help create space where things are feeling stuck. It’s a little like a self-led energetic massage. Slow, curious and with the intention of helping me connect with myself and my body. https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/grounding-rituals-for-fall monthly 0.5 2025-10-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/461cbe20-7973-4b06-a0b7-d85b198541dc/IMG_5842.jpg Musings - Grounding Rituals for Fall - I love the turn inwards that fall brings. The pace slows down as our body responds to the cold and the dark. There’s a nesting, cozy feeling. Yesterday, I took down the tomato plants in the garden, their leaves turning yellow and brown. Today, I put on two layers under my raincoat so that going out into the cold rain I felt as warm and insulated as a bear. https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/creativity-now monthly 0.5 2025-10-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/df23d701-8188-4e3e-ad09-fb55cd63e034/Screenshot+2025-09-15+at+8.58.34%E2%80%AFAM.png Musings - Creativity-Now! - When I hit the creative blahs- I can be a bit dramatic. It’s over. I’m all washed up. The fount of inspiration has run dry. And the dryness, it’s a desert. You can’t squeeze water from a stone. Underneath it is the fear: What if I never create something new again? https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/the-secret-origin-of-relationships monthly 0.5 2025-08-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/1756160554210-POU8SXSSLHVJSNJ2URNZ/Norina+Beck+Spring+2025-2932.jpg Musings - The Secret Origin of Relationships One thing I wish someone told me when I was younger is that although it might seem like relationships are something that happens to you- they are actually something you actively call in based on your relationship with yourself. https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/amusement monthly 0.5 2025-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/df73b684-f199-4256-a5b6-8d1e091ae983/no+no+no.jpg Musings - On Amusement Tacked to a tree at Mt.

The “no pain, no gain’ attitude. All of us can relate to a time when things were hard, but was it actually the pain & the effort that made that possible? Or, was that just something you overcame to get to the other side? https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/thereturn monthly 0.5 2025-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/3f8ed196-b750-4165-aa71-6da51fbc7ae6/RWS_Tarot_00_Fool.jpg Musings - The Return - A few months ago, I moved back to Portland after living for two years in the Southwest. When I left, I thought I was starting a new chapter, not taking the scenic route back to where I began. But life has a way of surprising us. https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/onfear monthly 0.5 2025-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/39453c62-1ac0-45cf-8c06-1649f7cb1a29/IMG_6048.jpg Musings - On Fear - Recently, I got lost in the woods. I was hiking through snow, and found myself at the top of a ridge with the sun going down. I had been following a path that had many footprints on it, but the tracks had dwindled until it was just me, the rabbits and the elk. The trail was meant to be a loop, but it did not seem to be looping. I could turn back or continue, but either way it looked like I would be hiking in the dark. I paused for a moment. It was beautiful with the sun setting and reflecting the snow. I snapped a photo, thinking- maybe I'll appreciate this later. Then I made a decision to stick to the path I was on, started walking faster and had a conversation with my fear. https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/afterthehoneymoon monthly 0.5 2025-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/64447634-d260-4559-b23c-2b4fdde896df/IMG_1697.jpg Musings - After the Honeymoon - When I moved to Taos New Mexico six months ago I was in the honeymoon phase. I loved the desert, the square adobe houses, the mountains that encircled the city like guardians. Then the winter came. It snowed and snowed. My car got crushed in a traffic accident. I got COVID. I started eating popcorn for dinner as a regular thing. https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/takingthescenicroute monthly 0.5 2025-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/9e81c25e-3d9b-4e7f-8022-4f62e841bd6c/IMG_1255.jpg Musings - Taking the Scenic Route - When I was a kid my dad was sometimes struck with an adventurous urge. Driving home from school he would suddenly turn down a random street. We'd end up somewhere else: an old grain elevator, the trailer he lived in before I was born, or a little known curve of creek behind the fairgrounds. He called this 'taking the scenic route'. https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/deer-mxdpb-nkdnr monthly 0.5 2025-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/a8bb1ad7-0077-4184-8cb7-b231179f04f9/IMG_5212.jpg Musings - Life Experiment #123: Total Reset - This month is a big transition for me. I decided to move to a new city, selling my house and getting rid of most of my belongings. For fifteen years I've lived in Portland Oregon. I have friends, a garden, I know where the good coffee shops are and the best city parks to watch dogs make friends. So, why leave all of those things and go somewhere completely unknown? https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/deer-mxdpb monthly 0.5 2025-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/1625e739-dede-4f9d-b001-a2b661de2865/IMG_1543.jpg Musings - Everything Happening Now - I've been thinking about time. For two weeks I lived alone in a tiny village in Spain. I did not speak Spanish, and it was COVID. The locals were friendly from behind their masks, but there was not much chance of any human connection. https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/deer-mxdpb-y69pz monthly 0.5 2025-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/826abd37-b88c-4688-97c5-5f880f9cc189/IMG_0038.jpg Musings - Little Altars - Yesterday, winter arrived on my doorstep. 4pm, and already the sun was setting. Outside it was cold and raining with a hint of snow in the air. To ward off the darkness I did some of the things I know to help. I brewed a cup of tea. I baked some bread. I put on pajamas at 6pm. But the next day, when the darkness came again, it came with melancholy and I knew that another kind of magic was needed. https://www.norinabeck.com/musings/deer-mxdpb-y69pz-ddk59 monthly 0.5 2025-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67c7671921474902068e4374/65c39fb3-f65b-4380-a139-f5898c288d3b/img-1497.jpg Musings - Relationships - Looking at relationships is one of my favorite things to explore in a reading. People often want to know how a potential partner feels about them, if they should end a relationship, or how to change the energy of a relationship that isn't working for them. While I don't give advice, I do share what I see. https://www.norinabeck.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-03-16 https://www.norinabeck.com/about daily 1.0 2025-11-05
