  • #356: Stop Fixing. Start Being.


    Stop fixing yourself and start being yourself! I first heard these words while in a yoga class. They met my ears as I forced my way into Hero's pose. Bam!

  • #354: Above All, Be Kind.


    Above all, Be Kind. Try this quick loving-kindness practice to lift your mood. Loving-kindness, called metta in Pali, is not a romantic type of love, but rather a behavior, an offering of friendliness toward all living beings — including yourself. Especially yourself.



    And if that’s not a tall enough order, metta is a kind of unconditional loving-kindness, which means you need to completely embrace yourself — the good, the bad, and the seemingly ugly. Give it a try!

  • #351: Standing On New Ground


    I am standing on new ground. I'm both nervous and excited which, to me, means it's necessary. Would you like to join me? It's going to be different—more hard core. I'm no longer willing to talk only about daily practices. It's time we go beyond practices and start pressing into our boundaries—our limiting patterns that hold us back and shut us down. Here we go!
