I used to pick up trash on the sidewalks as a spiritual practice. How does one do it without anger, without judgments?

Shaking up our routines feels incomprehensible and yet, a good shakeup helps us examine what is working and what isn’t.

We all seek relief of some kind. My moments of self-care in a day get de-prioritized as I am distracted from one thing to another.

Gentle Teaching is an approach to help those struggling to feel safe, feel love, be engaged and show gentleness and love to each other.

I’ve been working with a healer over the past 2 months to help me clear suffering from my body. Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Sometimes I want to close my eyes to the hurt and pain, to the disrespect and the distraction. Sometimes I want to look through other’s eyes

Sitting on the planet is 5200 trillion tons of air, or about one ton directly on top of each one of us. Why aren't we crushed?

Life is moving on like a ribbon highway. Fear lanes, exploring lanes, growing lanes. All moving in the right direction.

I thought worrying was a problem specific to me until I learned about psychological time versus clock time.

Every living being has an energy body better known as an aura. We hold traumas there. It's called psychic debris. Time to clean it out.

I have the ability to imagine anything I want. I learned to prepare for the worst so I got really good at imagining worse-case scenarios.

My attic was littered with old memories no longer important to me and yet, I’ve held on to them forever. It was time to clean house.

My imagination is the canvas I use to build this comforting place within. Spending time in silence allows me to relax. Til fear shows up.

I often think about my ability to survive my life. We all have our stories. Using my breath has been a crucial tool in my challenging times.

I feel softened on the inside, seeking comforting beauty. I deserve to pause and remember I am worthy of flowers. I bloom with abandon.

Yesterday was a day in my history. I lived without a net. I stayed in the present. I didn’t look forward or back. It was a free day.

Thank you to a friend for submitting the poem below. At first read, it felt angry. Second read a little less. Third read I agree. Enough...

It's surmised that every 6 seconds a decision is made to do the same thing or do something different. What are your daily decisions?

It’s my job to stay open minded, and believe in the process of releasing. As soon as I start blaming or denying, the process stalls.
