The Practice of Begin Again
The cycle of going unconscious and waking up is a practice of simply beginning again. We’re always in process with this. The moment you wake up and realize you’ve drifted off into thoughts and storyland, you simply connect to your senses, open your eyes and your ears, feel your feet on the floor, plug into […]
Being Yourself Opens Up New Space To Create
In order to create new pathways in any area of your life, you must get real wherever you haven’t been. Acknowledging what’s stuck and telling the truth about where you’ve been wearing a mask opens up new energy to flow in the present. The problem is that most of us refuse to admit that we […]
Language Moves
If you want to reach someplace new, you have to do something different than you’ve always done. The same actions will only yield the same results. Authentic new actions occur only when the observer within shifts, bringing new possibilities into view. If new action is required for new results, then we need to make some […]
Healing Through Yoga
I’ve been teaching Baptiste Yoga for 11 years, but the event that served as the catalyst for me to become a yoga teacher happened over 30 years ago when I was a teenager. I was bucked off a horse and landed on my head. Fortunately I was wearing a helmet, so my head was not […]
The Practice of Preparation
For many of us there will be times when it is hard to keep to the path and stay true to an ongoing revolution. There will be difficult moments, because that is how life flows. It helps if we can make peace with this truth and accept it, because then we can be more prepared […]
The Whole Is The Goal
We don’t transform in parts. Every aspect of ourselves and our lives is interconnected with every other one. To paraphrase something Gandhi once said, “You cannot do wrong in one part of your life and expect to do right in all the others.” There are some things that are known only in their wholeness, that […]
Carry Your Own Weather With You
Over reactive people are impacted and imprinted by their environment, thus soaking in all the stresses and pressures like a sponge and storing it all in their muscles and mind. Reactive people are often super sensitive to their physical environment. If the weather is good, they feel good. If it isn’t, it affects their attitude […]
Don’t Rush The Process
There is a biblical saying, “Lord, Please show us the shortness of days so that we might have wisdom of heart.” Life is short. At some level we all know that, and so we rush to complete all that we think we must do in order to live a life of no regrets. We get […]
Give Up The Need To Know
We all want answers, right? The reason those late-night infomercials are so popular is because everyone wants a fix. Just give us the simple steps, the quick fix, the how-to process. That’s how we’re conditioned; answers make us feel secure. Whenever we encounter a situation that’s uncomfortable for us, we try so hard to figure […]
Shift Your Vision
As you embark on your journey of spiritual or physical transformation, it’s crucial to recognize that your thought process may be obstructing your ability to see the truth. Often, we tend to blame external factors such as other people or circumstances beyond our control for the obstacles we face. However, if you look closer, you […]
