Hello world. How art these days for thee? While riding high on the dragons of the mind, how doest one relate? I continueth to traverse the unexplored terrain of mine soul, as usual. And 't doest not feeleth boring. However, I findeth myself aching to ooze these words through the sieve of Shakespeare's English only for dramatic flair. Is't working?
I do. I am in a state of acceptance like no other I have ever known. I am accepting the transition of this moment…as a friend noted, “it seems you’re able to spend time in between the letting go of one trapeze and enjoy it without frantically searching for the next one”. Indeed, it feels that way. And enjoyment is a relative term in this case. Let’s explore the space in between the next trapeze through inquiry…
Read MoreAfter much tireless curiosity around this subject and meticulously investigating my true motivations and relationship to change, I can honestly say yes. And...it truly is the hardest, most arduous, and disciplined notion I believe a human can undergo. Changing a mind is not just making a new decision, it is diving deep into the crux of the origin of being…
Read MoreBecause your body can swim? Or for nighttime dreams? The way she looks at you...Or ridiculous memes? Or for, homecooked meals...The winds of change? Your favorite films...the bizarre and the strange? Because of high thread count sheets...And sweet body oils? Coyote songs under moonlight? Humus and fertile soils?
It isn’t often that we have such explicit articulation from the cosmos focused on one of my very favorite topics, the illumination of darkness. On this full Taurus Moon, we are receiving a gilded invitation, starlit and poised, in the form of a lunar eclipse. Ready or not, here it comes! This season of Scorpio has not disappointed…
A: Drum roll please...and the winner is, Yes!! Ok, so those of us going through an individual sieve of real-time dissolve of self know that to surrender into the unknown in such a visceral manner is more uncomfortable than words can describe. Yet I will try…
I was in the courtroom…The judge looked at me, sentenced to death, could it really be? I looked for familiar eyes, those who I truly love, people who knew my heart, and what I’ve dreamed of. One soul found me then and we both shook our heads. This was unexpected…that I would soon be dead. I had a sense of imminent death, even before this moment in time. Although I thought it was a metaphor, not a punishment for crime…
Today I became fully present to the full circular nature of being that occurs in the reflection of others. I was reminded of “myself” and who I had been 18 years ago through a real-time reunion of a dear friend and mentor who I hadn’t seen in nearly two decades…
Read MoreThough the recent months have been quite challenging for me as I traverse the dark forest of my psyche, I am in complete awe of what can be found within the unconscious realms in the form of actual treasure. Perhaps I will come through my Pluto transits in the next few years with an aching nostalgia for these current days of tumult…
Read MoreThe night was calling me to myself. Where I’d been? Nobody knows...They had dimmed a burning light. Enlivened by a starlit night. The silence broke and my heart poured out. As the midnight thunder roared. Under the moon’s glow…
Read MoreI’ve been exploring this question viscerally. It isn’t the most pleasant of processes but definitely one of the most important for me. Also, we have transitioned into Autumn. The shift between seasons, just like the moment between yoga poses or life chapters is a very delicate stretch of time…
Read MoreI am, completely and entirely. Something is happening to me that I have never experienced in my life. It is difficult to articulate, it is truly radical in nature, and I will do my best to see if I can find the words to describe this moment under the glow of this Pisces full moon…
Read MoreFeeling slightly nauseated as I write this. Perhaps I am living one of my most raw moments as a human being to date. I’ve been a seeker for as long as I can remember and I have been a teacher for 20 years. I am a deeply spiritual being and I am a completely imperfect human too. Not only imperfect, I have made many mistakes…
Read MoreYou may have heard of the total lunar eclipse portal that we have entered into as of this morning. This is not an ordinary moon cycle indeed. Nope, this one will rock you, us, and the world in some way if we dare to notice. This is not for the faint of heart, as this will grab us from the inside and force our inner vision into seeing what we may not want to see. Are you ready for this?
Read MoreAfter glancing from side to side, I rest my eyes on the first word of this question. What exactly do I mean when I ask this question of others? It is perhaps the number one greeting amongst friends, family members, and even at times amidst strangers. And yet, where are we going with this inquiry? Is there a true desire to know the “how” of the human being before us? What is “how” about anyway? It certainly isn’t why, what, when, or who…
Read MoreWhen you read this, what comes to mind? It is a strong question and when I ask myself this, I almost don’t know where to start. Are we talking about the subtle realms, irritations that weave like mycelium from the present moment all the way to a deeply ravined origin of the past? Or pointing to something on the macro scale such as climate change or the current mental health crisis that will become more and more apparent as time ticks on? Is there a difference?
Read MoreMay is Mental Health Awareness Month. I am deeply passionate about this subject, as everything that we do, who we’ve been before, who we are now, and who we are becoming originates in the fertile ground of our mental health. How is yours? Have you been nurturing this realm of your Being lately? Did you know we are in the midst of a global mental health crisis and that it does, and will continue to, impact your life?
Read MoreSpending a significant period of my life with Tibetan Monks taught me a lot about life, purpose, the efficiency of time, finances, illusions of spiritual grandeur, commitment, power, and simplicity to name a few. One thing they would often share is that to be able to live a strong spiritual path, one needs these three things: money (or resources to live), time (to practice), and most importantly our health…
Read MoreWhat do I do with this relentless vision that moves through me like a force of light and wakes me up in the middle of the night consistently as a loving nudge to keep going? Keep going…
