What do you do when you are in a bind?

You have left the house with plenty of time for your appointment. Then traffic slows down. There is an accident. You are barely moving but the clock keeps ticking. You KNOW you are going to be late. What do you do? In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. ~Einstein It is easy to get angry, [...]

Everything and Nothing.

Wisdom tells me that I am nothing. Love tells me that I am everything. Between the two my life flows.      ~Nasargadatta Maharaj When I look up into the vast, star filled night sky, it is easy to feel tiny - almost like nothing. The stars reach out forever. There are galaxies, and black holes, and [...]

Remembering our Divine Nature

It is unclear exactly when yoga began, but originally it was an oral tradition. Over time texts about the philosophy of yoga were written.

Mindfulness and Living in the Moment

We cannot stop it. Every moment [...]

Come Together

How do we deal with devastation? How do we deal with painful, unimaginable losses? How do we deal with the death or injury of our loved ones? How can we deal with our own impending death? The recent earthquake in Nepal has brought these questions to my mind. I spent over a year in Nepal [...]

Maya and the Veil of Illusion

Are we all separate individuals or are we all connected as one universal consciousness? Or are we both simultaneously? This question has been asked repeatedly throughout the ages. Many believe that enlightenment is the realization that we are all one.  There is no separation. We are one with the Divine. “You and I are all [...]

Be the Wave

You are a wave on the face of the ocean. When the wave is gone is the water gone? Has anything happened? It is a play, a game, a dance. ~ Joseph Campbell What do you feel like when you watch the waves? When you sit by the ocean and look out into [...]

Have you ever watched something that was so amazing it almost seemed impossible even though you were actually seeing it? Danny MacAskell's videos have that kind of effect.

Challenge Yourself

Challenges can come from the outside world or from inside of us. However they come into our lives they can either help us to grow or minimize our self worth. The choice is ultimately ours.

Sweet Surrender

Do you need to be strong to surrender or do you need to surrender to become strong? Is surrendering a sign of weakness or strength? It depends on the situation and the intention or lack of intention. I believe strength and surrender go hand in hand. Look at the bamboo tree. It is tall and [...]
