I’ll Meditate About That

There’s a common perception out there that somehow we are spiritual beings trapped in bodies striving to get home again.  This means that the more we strive to get out of the bodies, the better off we are.  It also values spiritual matters over physical ones as if these are somehow separate and that there is some magical “out there” to which they need to be further attuned.…Details

The Shyness of Self

Sometimes there are aspects of ourselves that have a very quiet voice.  It doesn’t matter if we’re an extrovert, if we’ve lived a spiritual life for over 40 years, if we’ve “found” ourselves or been walking our path.  There are parts of us that whisper, that need quiet, that wait until things are still to peek out and see if it’s not too scary to come out. …Details

What To Emote When You’re Emoting

It’s human nature to be uncomfortable with discomfort.  It’s a signal that something is wrong and that it needs to get fixed.  The question is how to fix it.  Most people are terrible at figuring out how to fix emotional things. …Details

Happily Ever After

…is a phrase that ends children’s stories.  No need to worry about what comes next.  The good guys get rewarded, the bad guys are either gone or have learned their lessons, and all is right with the world.  No more work, no more struggle, no more heavy lifting, just bliss and happiness and playtime forever. …Details

Looks Good On Paper

Ever had an exchange with someone over email or text where you completely misunderstood what was meant?  What is on paper loses something in translation and emoji and emoticons can’t quite make up for the emotional content which makes the intent and possibly the whole meaning mysterious and up to interpretation. …Details

Stop Processing

Being in process is the “finding myself” of the 21st Century.  Being in process, getting into the process, figuring out the process, following through on the process, seeing it for what it is, just letting it….Oh good grief!  Time to process the processing of your process elsewhere, please.…Details

Kabbalah Class Progress

For those who aren’t aware, I’m working on a new class for DailyOm.com.  It’s a Kabbalah 101 class focused on the Tree of Life, specifically on how this is a blueprint for manifestation.  The Tree of Life, like the Chakra system, is part of our bodies but describes in detail the steps on how we manifest things into the world and how we incorporate the lessons and wisdom we gain in manifested embodied life back into ourselves, our souls.…Details
