In an ideal world, we’d stop listening to the voice of the ego so darn much and become perpetually tuned in to the wisdom and guidance of our Higher Self. On our journey of spiritual evolution, that’s where we’re going. But the voice of the ego is loud and constant. It can be hard to […]
When we are heavily engaged in spiritual practice, staying grounded can be challenging. We can divert a little too much of our energy towards the spiritual plane. We begin disconnecting from our physical reality. We may be floating around on a cloud after a great workshop, or feel particularly blissed out after […]
We create a lot of obligation in our lives. Many of us are constantly saying “I have to.” We use this turn of phrase all the time, and not just for important things. No, we have long lists of things we “have to” get done. We have to fold the laundry and do the dishes. […]
The spiritual path takes discipline and determination. For most of our lives, our ego has been running the show and would like to stay in charge. The ego will talk us out of meditating, will tell us we are too tired for our yoga practice. It will tell us that we are […]
In my last post, I wrote about the value of “right action” at the “right time.” Moving with inspiration in this manner is tremendously powerful. Seemingly small actions can create big results.

“Inspire me with right action at the right time.” This is what I’ve been requesting from my Spirit Guides and Higher Self lately. It has become a mantra of sorts. At first glance, it seems like such a simple request. Nothing could be further from the truth.
What is “right” action, anyway?
Right action can never be […]
We learn from an early age that certain actions and behaviors get us what we want. As little children, we learned how to behave in order to gain parental approval. During our school years, we learned to study hard in order to get good grades. These grades were necessary to get into college. […]
On occasion, I get a frustrated question from my clients and students: “If our Spirit Guides and Higher Self really want to help us, can’t they make themselves more noticeable? Why can’t intuition be more obvious?”
It’s an excellent question. The answer is simple: Free will. We are here to live […]
When I ask my clients for their spiritual development goals, I often hear that they would like to more fully embrace their Soul’s purpose, or develop a closer relationship with their Divine Self. These are wonderful goals … but, surprisingly, no-one has ever told me: “I would like to become fully enlightened.”
Enlightenment is the […]
I’ve talked a bit about the benefits and challenges of a regular meditation practice in my previous video posts. In this post, I’m presenting a very, very simple way to get started. I hope some of you will take five minutes or so daily to cultivate your meditation practice. I recommend meditating […]
