What?! That is all I can say. WHAT?!?! Okay, I can say a whole lot more. It’s maddening to watch the same prejudice, blame, and steamrolling happening from the very victims of it! We need to expose the damage, harm, and suffering behind the horrifying misunderstanding that is behind the idea of “toxic masculinity”—an idea…

We humans need a season to be feral. We need a big chunk of doing-nothing to have more seasons of effective, smart, and fulfilling output. In all living things, creativity and nourishment require time off from the busy train. Time to loll about, nap, visit, and play. And the summer months are perfect for that.…

I’d love for you to know how to navigate anger in a healthy and sane way! So, let’s crack open one of the top tips for navigating your own anger: communicating your boundaries! Anger is always about boundaries. Communication helps us to stay in relationship; it’s not a way to get permission to be angry.…

Do you ever take on a project you know isn’t going to be perfect? Is it better to do something great, and pass on all the so-so projects? Or is it better to do something just to learn and practice? Do you present something half-assed? Or do you wait until it’s perfect? It all depends……

Okay, let’s face it: relationships are hard. Mostly because you are lovers, roommates, business partners, AND friends. That’s a lot of hats. And if all those hats are full of fear, painful beliefs, and not-enough stories, relationships are really hard. And that is what we see all over: 99% of all relationships are made up…

We all have compulsions (not to use that word lightly), areas of our lives were we kinda go blind and reach for stimulus without really being conscious of what we are doing. And many of us have addictions (not to use that word lightly either), areas where we go deeply blind and unconscious and can…

What is moral? What is ethical? Guess it depends on your culture, on your religion, on your community? Or is there one basic, ultimate rule to live by? Is there good and evil? I know and understand truth. And the tricky thing about truth is that there are no rules. It’s so simple, and that…

There are as many ways to meditate as there are ways to kiss. So many hot, juicy, loving, tender, forced, obligated, ways to stop and be still. But ultimately, there is only one *reason* to meditate, and there is actually one repeatable way to get to the task at hand. One simple process that can…

“…and then he said… but did I get this right… blah, blah, blah… you’re not focusing, you need to focus… did I shut off the lights today… blah, blah, blah…” We all know what obsessive mind feels like. And it’s not a great feeling. Essentially, it’s a whole bunch of thoughts colliding with rather aggressive,…

​So why are we meditating in the first place? Is it because we heard it was good for our blood pressure? Because there is a direct cause to decreased rates of cancer? Because the clothes and cushions and accessories are so darn cute? Because the Instagram account blew up when meditation is mentioned? Gosh, I…

Great question came in, one I hear a lot. It’s all about spending years reading everything, but not really getting anywhere. It’s all about how fear still manages to keep your dreams, your goals, your truth, hidden away. So, how do we get out of this pattern? How, if we have already read it all,…

“Everything wants to Awaken…” “Consciousness wants to enlighten…” Well, I understand the sentiment of this, but it’s really not at all precise… Consciousness is not a desiring movement. It doesn’t “want” something. It simply *is*. So really, this is a pointer that misrepresents what consciousness really is. The source of you does create—look at your…

​There is a lot more to the actual “dark night of the soul” but let’s focus on a little pesky aspect that most of us encounter time and time again: the “empty abyss” feeling. That feeling of disconnect that we innocently stumble upon when we seem to be just going about the day. This emptiness…
