KISS: Keep it so simple

Jul 20, 2021

When embarking on your wellness journey, you may create expectations for yourself to “help” you get started. For example, “I need a new yoga mat (or cushion)” or “I need to create my meditation space with incense, candles, and photos.” 

These rules don’t help, they hinder you. You judge yourself for not doing it “right” or “good enough”. As a result, you either don’t get started, or quit before experiencing the...

Don't use meditation to relax...

Jul 13, 2021

...when you can use it to become alive.

Meditation calms the mind -  not to put you to sleep, but to wake you up.

Meditation pulls you in - not so you can't see, but so you can.

Meditation has you feel more, not less. And rather than being afraid, you become more connected to your values.

Meditation will get you in touch with your rage. So that instead of walling up (which happens when you suppress your rage), you set healthy boundaries (which happens when you harness it). And, you...

Make the commitment

Jul 06, 2021

When you’re ready to make a change in your life, it can be exciting and even a bit scary. The emotions you feel prompt the change and motivate you to take action. What happens when the feelings aren’t so strong? Motivation wanes, you lose the excitement. You’re creating new habits so it takes effort to stick with them. 

What you do during this time is powerful and simple. 

Make the commitment, and stick to it. No matter what. 

When you make a commitment to...

Detachment and flow: myth & truth

Jun 29, 2021

In spirituality, people talk about detachment as a way to be, to reduce suffering, and to flow with the Universe.

It's true that being able to practice detachment and live in the flow increases joy, opportunity, and true love in action. But what people think it looks like - and try to be like - is the big misunderstanding and does more harm than good, wreaking havoc on the mind, body, and relationships. 

The big myth

You breathe through it, and then you fake it til you make it. When...

Shine bright dear diamond

Jun 17, 2021

Shining bright like a diamond 
We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond 
Shine bright like a diamond


I have a meme on my Instagram page with “Baby Yoda” (because, who doesn’t love Baby Yoda?). Under his picture reads: “When they say they love all your flaws and you weren’t aware you had any.” Can you imagine if you thought you had absolutely NO FLAWS? How would you act? How would you live out your life?

The Mul Mantra - Longing to Belong

Jun 15, 2021

Mul (or Mool) refers to the root, as in mulaband (root lock), or muladhara (root chakra). Our root center informs our sense of security. Often when we think security, we think job, money, roof over our heads, and food on the table. There's that. There's also the sense of security in belonging. In our longing to belong, we seek external approval and make decisions based on our need to be a part of a group. When this seems out of reach, we become vulnerable to addictions.

This mantra forges...

Why new habits are so hard to maintain and how to make it easier

Jun 01, 2021

Think a marble can roll off the deeply embedded groove and take an unpaved path that doesn't exist... without any interference?

It would take some fingers, or a disruption in its foundation to lift or shake it off its current path.

We're the same way. We've been hitting that snooze button every day for so long that expecting ourselves NOT to extend that arm to hit snooze and fall back asleep would take some dedication and honest desire to make change.

That's just the beginning of the morning...
