Why Alchemy?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Why alchemy? Thoughts of alchemy might stir in you images of deluded men during the Middle Ages who tinkered with dangerous substances, such as mercury and sulfur, trying to create gold from lead. You might then wonder why in the world I’m writing about alchemy. It is true; there were many charlatans promising riches […]

The Pain of Gratitude

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There is something fundamentally challenging about gratitude that goes beyond remembering to practice it. If I truly admit how damn fortunate I am, I usually experience a myriad of feelings: pure love, then guilt, and then sheer terror. Guilt and terror? That might surprise you. After all, we practice gratitude to help us become more […]

Walking Towards What Scares Me

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Like many people, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in the love and relationship department. Once, many years ago, I fell hard and fast for a man. He was smart, funny, handsome, creative, and attentive. And, the chemistry between us was so intense, it was like fireworks on top of fireworks. He wasn’t just good-looking, […]

How are Purpose, Universal Flow and Dirt Related?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I recently watched an excellent documentary on dirt – or soil, to be more precise – called Symphony of the Soil. The film offers a different way to think about agriculture, challenging the “rules” of the past 7,000 years and presenting a true paradigm shift. It was definitely worth the watch! The film got me […]

How Distracted Am I?

How Distracted Am I?

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In modern Western society, we often find ourselves in a permanent state of unfulfilled desire. We are offered continuous distractions and stimulations that mimic reality, such as mass leisure, mass culture, and mass media. Constant intrusions and interruptions – now the norm in our culture – drive up stress, deplete mental and emotional reserves and […]

Stop spinning round and round

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Living under old belief systems that keep us stuck can be automatic for us. Mindfulness practice and other tools that assist you in accessing the power of your whole-brain can help you identify these destructive thought patterns so you can move forward instead of just spinning in place. When we become aware of them and […]

Beyond Black & White

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Judging ourselves. Others. It’s true. We all do it. A lot. “That person is beautiful”. “That person is mean”. “I’m not good looking enough, rich enough or thin enough”. “I’m right and you’re wrong”. We can all relate to having these judgements and with little awareness find ourselves literally stuck in these belief systems/thought patterns. […]

Imagination: From the Inside Out

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Did you know that imagination is one of the most important attributes of the human brain? Think about it. Without imagination, Steve Jobs wouldn’t have created the iPad. Picasso would never have created his dazzling works of art. Without imagination, we wouldn’t have anything that nature hasn’t already provided for us. Wikipedia describes imagination – […]

Why the Right-Brain Matters

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Through patient and animal studies, it has been discovered that the two hemispheres of the brain see and respond to the world in divergent manners. Why is it that an organ whose job it is to communicate divided? The left hemisphere sees things narrowly and focused, while the right views the whole. This was advantageous […]
