This talk explores the power of stepping back and hitting the reset button in your life.  You’ll learn about what can happen when you remember the results you are driving toward and the power of pausing and ruthlessly taking stock as to how you actually doing.   When you consciously disengage from the busyness of your life and immerse yourself in presence you can refresh your sense of what is most important to you and move forward informed by creativity and infinite possibility.

This talk explores how to open to more subtle felt-sense awareness through mindful breathing. Whole Body Breathing is yet another tool for drawing attention to the play of energy and sensations within and can dramatically heighten awareness of what is arising and how you are relating to it. This talk includes a guided meditation on this technique.

Embodied Presence:  Whole Body Breathing and Subtle Energy Awareness

This is an adaptation of the first talk of a five day retreat at the Art of Living Center in Boone North Carolina.   You’ll learn some practical suggestions for embodied meditation and how the body can be an ally in your practice.

Embodied Presence: Practical Tools for Your Meditation Practice

This talk explores who you are free from the wanting mind.   You’ll learn about the nature of desire, strategies for working with a greed-filled mind, what can arise as desire lessens and finally, some thoughts on being desire-free and enlightenment itself.

Who are You in the Absence of Desire?

This talk explores who you are in the absence of ignorance and confusion.   You’ll explore the nature of delusion, strategies for overcoming delusion and being more clearly into the nature of reality and what it means to be awake beyond the fluctuations of emotions, thoughts and beliefs.

Who are You in the Absence of Delusion?

This talk explores who you are beyond the reach of  aversion.   You’ll learn about how, in our relationship to hatred there can be a rush to premature transcendence and how, by turning toward aversion, what is possible when hatred ceases, namely the arising of inter-connectedness, compassion and love.
