Breath Exercise for Clarity

Do you have a go-to strategy when you find it hard to concentrate and your brain feels fuzzy?

Or when you can’t seem to figure out what to do next? What direction to move towards?

When I’m in that place, it sometimes feels like I’m spinning in circles, directionless and blind to possibility.

However, when I REMEMBER to use this tool (!), a breathing exercise, it can really make a difference.

Why?

How to Reach Your Potential (Part 4)

Thanks for taking this journey with me through the seven veils of ego! We are at the final one!

Ready?

Here it is: Wisdom of the Wrathful Person

This one is about anger.

And just like all of the rest of the veils of the ego, there are ways anger (and lust, and gluttony and slothfulness…) can be useful, can be used to right wrongs, to fuel action, to face injustices.

That’s when we use anger in a pro-active, loving way.

How to Reach Your Potential (Part 3)

Being on this journey can definitely feel challenging and I am SO appreciative that you are here willing to keep opening to the light and the love that is the essence of you.

Ready to keep going with the 7 powers of the ego?

So far, we have explored: darkness, desire, ignorance and zeal for death.

Today we’re diving into the realm of the flesh (whatever that means) and the foolish wisdom of the flesh. Here goes…

How was your exploration into darkness and desire? Illuminating? I hope so.

As Robert Holden often says, “emotional honesty boosts spiritual clarity.”

The hardest and perhaps best way we can be emotionally honest is when we’re willing to explore aspects of our shadow. And these ego veils can certainly shed light.

The next two that we’ll explore are: ignorance and zeal for death.

Here goes!

How to Step Into Your Potential (Part 1)

Hope you had a love-filled Valentine’s Day even if you were on your own! Remember, Love is always here… because you are here.

So how can you deepen into that ever-abiding love?

One way is to understand how your ego takes you away from experiencing that love which is your true and essential nature.

This is why I wanted to devote the next few weeks to exploring the ways we can consciously and unconsciously get taken out. Specifically, by diving into the seven (I call them veils) of the ego, that Meggan Watterson outlines in her book, Mary Magdalene Revealed.

Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude

Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude

As we move into the end of the year, it can be a wonderful time to pause and reflect. Whenever I think about that, it immediately drops me into gratitude.

So, for the next few weeks, I thought it’d be fun to do a deep dive into gratitude.

How to Live Open Heartedly

How to Live Open Heartedly

Recently I had a conversation with someone who told me he wanted to live openheartedly.

In truth, don’t we all?

The question is how…

We can certainly experience heart opening moments, but how do we sustain that space every moment of every day?

Whenever I think about opening my heart, I ALWAYS see an image of Lord Hanuman in my mind’s eye .

If you’re not familiar with this Hindu god, he is the one who looks like a monkey and is known as the servant to God/Love for he has devoted his life to serve Lord Rama.
