And so am I. Hear me out: Each of us is a whole universe. We are born into this world with a specific body, a unique mind, and a whole story that will unravel in front of us. We are truly all unique, quite the paradox. There are billions of us walking around on this planet, and... Continue Reading →
Our stickiest habits are our biggest teachers. The things that really get us annoyed or angry, those are the awakenings. We seek clarity, joy, happiness, searching and searching for the thing that'll give us peace. We go to teachers, read books, move to a different place, find another job, we're like a dog chasing our... Continue Reading →
For the last few days, I've been having the same lessons come to me in different ways. It's a favorite thing of mine when Life communicates to us so clearly. And we'll keep receiving the same information a few times, in case we didn't catch it the first time around. Sometimes these lessons come through... Continue Reading →
Why are we encouraged to sit through the discomfort? After four intensive years of turning towards, of digging, of being, I ask this question again. And it didn't surface during my meditation, those moments when the foot falls asleep or the face itches. No, it happened in the midst of my life. In the midst... Continue Reading →
There is this moment that we realize that all the beliefs we had about love aren't true. They are a story, a dream, of passion, of being taken away, of falling, of flying. If they were true, we wouldn't be sitting where we are, still contemplating how it all works. Our mind holds on to... Continue Reading →
The art of not knowing is one of the finest arts. A delicate, yet intense, inquiry of revealing mastery. It unravels and withdraws, it confuses and misunderstands, it comes near and winds itself around the ankles of the one who longs and resists it. The movement never stops. There's a silent tempo, a rhythm unique... Continue Reading →
The other day, I facilitated a call on grief, "Grief as Our Teacher," for a women's embodiment group. I was nervous much of the day, asking myself whether or not I was prepared. And once the call began and proceeded and finished, I waited for the people who had invited me to facilitate to tell... Continue Reading →
What I've come to realize, is that I love workshops, and therapy, and any kind of class that gets me to go deep. And in those moments, I say, "Wow, I'm really willing to show up for the work." And then I go home, and I see my tendency to avoid taking responsibility for my... Continue Reading →
Sometimes, on my favorite mornings, I awaken to an insight. The other morning, as I opened my eyes, a clarity came to me: There is no failure. There is only a choice - to leap or not to leap. So point blank. So clear. And it makes so much sense. Up until this point, I've... Continue Reading →
I've been catching on lately, something is becoming conscious that has trapped me in an unconscious loop for much of my life. For a good chunk of my teenage life, as my family started to fall apart, I became incredibly disciplined. The kind of disciplined where if I said I was going to do something,... Continue Reading →
you are whole, complete, and perfect.
