Last week, I had a few interactions that reminded me how much our attachment to our beliefs can keep us from truth, growth, and freedom. I was surprised at how often we choose comfort over truth, even when it means restriction and repression. And how terrifying it can be to seek truth at all costs. The path to truth isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it's frightenin... Read More

It's been another intense month for me, digging through the recesses of my soul, questioning what I want in life and relationships, and breaking through more barriers that have been holding me back from being myself. I also took a solo business trip to Hong Kong for a few days, and have been working more on building my business structure and systems to handle new growth. I'll tie it all together i... Read More

One of the most powerful tools I've discovered for becoming more present and aware of my inner world is "breathing". Everyone breathes, but most people remain consistently unaware of their breath, and of the impact that conscious breathing can have upon emotions, health, and well-being. I think it feels great to yawn, sigh, laugh, and take deep breaths. But I'm finding I can gain more from the ... Read More

Doctors have been telling us for decades that stress causes disease. But despite my relatively stress-free life, for the past few years, I've suffered from irritable bowel syndrome. I honestly don't know how long I've had this problem, but it became bad enough to notice after we came back from our South America trip in the Fall of 2011. Once I discovered that having diarrhea 3 times per week wa... Read More

As I mentioned in my last post, I've been quieter lately in the online world. The reason, I found, is that I was afraid to be genuine. I've been doing a lot of inner exploration lately, and am discovering things about myself that are painful to admit, even to myself. It's time to come clean, in the name of deeper, richer connections, a fuller self-ex... Read More

My body has never tingled so much since we moved to Bali! I'm not talking about my leg "falling asleep." These are very pleasant feelings, sometimes subtle and soft, and other times overwhelming, causing my whole body to feel like it's filled with lightning. Sometimes they're accompanied by strong emotion and a feeling of relief and release. These sensations can be relaxing or energizing, peaceful... Read More

The town of Ubud in Bali, Indonesia is a hub for yogis, spiritual healers, health conscious individuals, and followers of New Age philosophies. Everywhere you look are ads for meditation courses, yoga classes, or detox retreats. Out of curiosity, and for the chance to get out on my own for a while, make some friends, and learn something new, I attended a 5-day ... Read More
