  • Taking time to shimmer

    I encourage you set aside a few minutes every day to shimmer. That means to shift beyond the fixed structures that make up daily life, and to allow yourself time to float in space and time. More specifically, I recommend intentionally taking time to hang out with life as it is arising and emerging. This is not easy to explain, one just has to experiment. When you go beyond your roles and stories, you remember who you are. You remember that, at your core, you are a collection of shimmering light and energy.

  • Through the filter of beer and burgers

    In this Whisper, I come to you through the filter of beer and burgers. And, it’s not pretty! My thoughts are blurry and foggy. What is crystal clear for me, however, is how our state of mind is so closely related to our physiology. I am aware of how I need to be careful with the choices I make today because I am I’m moving through the world through a blurry, foggy filter—thanks to the burger and the beer! Let my story be a reminder that filters come in many forms. It’s really helpful to be aware of how your mind and your thoughts are impacted by what you eat, how you sleep and much, much more.

  • What are you bingeing on?

    What are you bingeing on these days? In this Whisper, I share my current vice! Sometimes bingeing is kind of fun—as long as it’s not destructive. But other times, it can be destructive. Bingeing can also be an invisible gas that runs through our lives, so much so that we don’t even realize what we’re doing. So take a close look and be honest with yourself. Maybe there are some serious binges that need to be addressed and that are impacting your health. And, perhaps there are some fun, harmless binges you can lean into or release. Either way, be kind to yourself.

  • Do not let the world in before you do this!

    Before you let the world in, please take some time to ground, to gather, to tune-in and check-in with yourself. In other words, don’t start your day running. If you wake up and immediately look at your phone, and your feeds, you are letting the world in too early. We need time to gather to ground to remember who we are so that we can move forward into the day with all of our resources and with all of our intelligence and wisdom.

  • The grass is brown everywhere!

    I heard this great expression from a friend of mine years ago. And that is simply that the grass is brown everywhere. It’s a reminder that if we are in constant pursuit of the next best thing—the so called next shiny object—we’re going to continue to find brown grass. I know it’s not a super positive statement, but it is really funny. And in this episode I explain why.

  • Riding rough waters together

    It is not easy to walk the path of awakening, the path of burning through illusion in pursuit of experiencing life fully. Most of us are hitting walls. We are standing on very shaky ground right now. I share what is happening with me so that you don’t think it’s just you. Let’s not hold back what we are experiencing. Let’s help others know that they’re not alone. Because when we don’t feel alone, when we know that it is collective, then I know in my heart that we’re going to ride these rough waters and come out for the better in the end.

  • The path is the goal

    The path is the goal. This path we are on…this precious human birth we’ve been granted… is the path of discovery. The goal is to stay on the path and to stay curious as it unfolds. Even if it’s completely unsettling. Even if there is rumbling. Even if you feel tender and uncomfortable. Pay attention to your life, pay attention to life and the moment-to-moment becoming.

What situation, person or predicament is squeezing you? Let’s explore.

  • When you have no answers

    On today’s Whisper I offer my process, not my answers. The truth is that I don’t have answers. All I can do is share my path. All I can offer you is what is unfolding for me in real time. I intentionally do not plan or try to come up with some brilliant answer. I want to share my step-by-step, moment-by-moment highs and lows, ups and downs, struggles and releases. I share my messy life for you to ultimately recognize the same patterns in your own life.
