Crave Neutrality
It’s a world of constant change, and you and I are thrown into those waves every moment of the day You are constantly challenged to perform on every level: at work, at home, in your community. Many of the demands made of you don’t feel right, or they feel like they are demanding way too […]
Playing the Perfect Role
It was Shakespeare who supposedly said “All the world’s a stage, and all of us are just players,” or something like that. It has never been more true today. Look at what passes for acceptable behavior today, and I’m not just talking about behavior by government leaders, either! And if you think that the antics […]
Happiness Worthiness
Are you worthy of being happy? It might be a strange thing to ask, but is important to consider. So many people take enormous efforts to make them happy, but they may be missing a critical link: the self-worth that allows that to happen. It’s really nobody’s fault, since we live in a country that […]
Is This the Golden Age?
What is your position on it all? Are we all going to hell rapidly, or is this the best time ever to be alive? Ultimately it is your choice, and it depends so much on your consciousness. My experiences last week illustrate this profoundly. I was up in one of my favorite Hudson River towns […]
SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION
I have an answer for all the stressed out multi-tasking folks out there who never seem to find the time to do all the things they want, need, or on that “list.” It’s called substantial completion, and it will make your life so much easier and more pleasant. I came to this realization quite organically, […]
RE-SET
As many of you know if you have been reading my blog posts, I have been practicing yoga for about 12 years. For the first 6 years, I practiced a combination of hatha and vinyasa yoga. About 6 years ago, a friend suggested that I try kundalini yoga. I had never heard of it and […]
FORGIVENESS
Forgiveness is a noble concept, but so hard for us humans to pull off. I was recently in a yoga class, and the teacher dedicated a meditation to forgiveness, and pointed out that all of us carry such negative past experiences and sense memories around forever. So true. It’s almost like we have a soundtrack […]
DE-POLARIZE YOUR LIFE
We are living in challenging times on so many levels: provide well for you and your family, have meaningful work, bring integrity to personal relationships, show concern for those less fortunate. Any of these require focus and dedication to achieve, and if you are seeking the full package, watch out! You require a strength and […]
COURAGE
I have been thinking a lot lately about courage; what it really means, how to get it, and how to maintain it. There are two main reasons why: I was fortunate enough to read Osho’s book on Courage over the summer (and re-read parts constantly since then), and I believe that courage is essential for […]
FINDING YOUR FOOTING
It’s been a rocky ride…..and the recent election only underscores how rapidly things can change. I’ve been thinking about this for awhile, even before the election. For some time, I have detected a general uneasiness in the population, so in retrospect, the election should not have been such a huge surprise. Nevertheless, for those […]
