Merging With Presence Mini-Meditation
Do you ever feel that life starts to take on a pace of its own, perhaps getting more and more hectic and robbing you of any peace of mind, as you keep running raggedly to keep up? Does there seem to be an endless list that needs attending to….and if that list should ever get [...]
Eckhart Tolle’s book: “A New Earth”
“When the basis for your action is inner alignment with the present moment, your actions become empowered by the intelligence of Life itself.” Eckhart Tolle I have recently had the opportunity to review Eckhart Tolle’s work again, and it has been so worth it. I read The Power of Now when it first came out [...]
Another take on releasing your pain
I have recently been reminded to review Eckhart Tolle’s work again, and it has been so worth it. I read The Power of Now when it first came out and, as often happens, take in the obvious good advice and wisdom with great relish. I do my best with it and move on, maybe letting [...]
Detaching from the story
I so enjoy the work of Jack Kornfield, the Buddhist monk who started Spirit Rock (a spiritual retreat center) in Woodacre, CA. Actually I lived not half a mile from Spirit Rock when he was writing “The Wise Heart- A Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology,” while I was recovering from my divorce [...]
What the World Needs Now… is Love, Self Love
I have a dear, long-time friend I trust completely. She remembers the actual date we met 30- some years ago, maybe because she was singing in a band for a big gathering or maybe because part of her knew we’d be friends forever. Rebecca is a ‘sensitive’ and can feel the energy of people and [...]
Only Love Remains
I wrote this when I was deep in the pain of my own divorce. Even in the midst of despair, I found something more true than my pain, something more sustaining – something guiding me toward wholeness, healing and joy. And I want to ensure you, if you are going through a painful transition, that there [...]
Brain Freeze on Live Radio- Yikes
Is this your worst nightmare? It wasn’t mine- until this morning. Ugh, it was embarrassing to not have my brain work ON THE AIR and, worse, I felt I let my team down. I have a wonderful couple of business partners here in the Napa Valley. We joined forces to give powerful wellness and stress [...]
What exactly IS the point of it all?
A few months ago I watched a documentary that actually caused a major shift in my thinking- a major shift in how I was going to be in the world thereafter. I can’t say that happens every day. And it happened in a rather round-about way. The documentary is called The Nature of Existence. It [...]
What’s your Desired End Result?
I love this story that Gregg Braden tells. It’s not because I love rain so much (though I do) and it’s not because I’ve been watching the East Coast struggle with the after-effects of Hurricane Irene, it’s because his story points out the power of our minds- our thoughts actually. Let me paraphrase for you: [...]
Love heals
So, I’m looking more closely at the concept that ‘love heals.’ I’m at a place where either I need to deepen my understanding and faith that the power, or energy, of love can heal or go back to accepting western medicine’s level of healing, knowing it has limitations and side effects. As a kid I [...]
