It has been 25 years since the publication of this book by Eckhart Tolle & 25 years since I first read it. It called to me around the recent holiday as something I might like to explore again. Join me as I dive back into this wonderful teaching. My hope is that perhaps it inspires you to read or reread it yourself.

Happy New Year! Enjoy some poetry reading to begin the new year. Mary Oliver, Hafiz, Lalla and more share their wisdom with us in this episode. I also share some insight into the Year of the Wood Snake.

Learning to calm our chattering minds and decide which thoughts lead us to peace and which ones cause us suffering. 

Find a cozy spot, make a cup of mulled cider and enjoy a guided Winter Solstice meditation that is a traditional part of the annual Om Tara Yoga Candlelighting ceremony.

We continue our conversation with Reiki Master, Lisa Mayer. In this episode we reminisce about the healing circles we held together at Om Tara Yoga Studio

Ok so that was my first reaction to Reiki. In this episode I share with you one of my favorite people, Lisa Mayer. Lisa taught me the truth of Reiki and she has been a guide on the path for me ever since. We are Soul Sisters and so much more. Enjoy!

The 8th of the 8 Fold Path as taught by the Buddha. Being able to withdraw the senses and witness intrusive thoughts. Oh and so much more!

"Be here now"; "The point of power is in the present moment"; "The power of now". .. so many teachings have been trying to show us the way to embodiment and to have agency over intrusive thoughts. In this episode we will discuss the 7th teaching of the 8 Fold Path as taught by Buddha

The effort that is meant here, is the effort to know the mind. A discipline of meditation and cultivating a continued sense of awareness is key to the 8 Fold Path.

This teaching from the 8 Fold Path as taught by the Buddha, speaks directly to how we make a living. It's about recognizing what impact our vocation has on the world at large. It's very nuanced, not at all black & white as we will see when I share an excerpt from The Art of Living by Thich Nhat Hanh.
