Happy Chinese New Year and welcome to the Year of the Dragon – a year of boldness, audacity and courage. It’s a far cry from last year’s timid and sensitive rabbit, so get ready for a huge shift. It may feel like a stretch at first, but stepping into dragon energy will allow you to fully … [Read more...]
It's that time of year again. Where we look back and dream forward. In order to make our dreams more tangible and feasible, we are encouraged to turn our dreams into New Year's resolutions -- specific goals for things we want to accomplish in the coming year. I don't usually make … [Read more...]
We human beings have long believed that in order to be "enlightened," we had to move our energy upward; get our kundalini to rise and spend more time in our "more advanced" upper chakras. It makes sense, right? We are spiritual beings before we come here. We then get born into this physical … [Read more...]
In the chakra world, you often hear about “kundalini rising” and the importance of getting your lower chakra energy to rise upward. But you don’t hear much about an equally (or in this era even more) important energy pulsation – the manifesting current. This is the current of energy that … [Read more...]
What are you afraid of? And more importantly, is it here NOW? Most likely, it is not. Perhaps that is why I find this clip from “Talladega Nights” so hysterical – Will Ferrill’s fear is quite visceral. To help him overcome his fear of crashing again (a fictional event in … [Read more...]
Lately, I hear a lot of people (and the media) talking about the “stress” and “pressure” of these times, so this week, I want to take a look at these two concepts. It’s so easy to point to the demands of our boss, our creditors, our partner, etc. and label them as … [Read more...]
I rarely write about my Chakra Boosters Healing Tattoos™ in my blog, but I simply have to share this: About.com has named them the #1 Spiritual Stocking Stuffer this season. It makes sense. I mean, after all, it's tough coming up with creative gift ideas this time of year. And if the … [Read more...]
Ah, Halloween. That time of year when we actually celebrate being scared. What better time could there be to look at our courage and maybe even bump it up a notch? Most of us hold a false belief that gets in the way of us stepping fully into our courage. We erroneously think courage is the … [Read more...]
My dad is visiting me from Seattle, and I’m grateful. He’s older now – 77 -- and each moment together seems more meaningful, more precious. And as I feel our experience getting richer, I feel deep gratitude -- for life and for death. I've always known that life is a gift, but now as I … [Read more...]
Most of us know the value of “being in the now.” We get it intellectually, just as we understand that taking a nice, tropical vacation is rejuvenating for our soul. The problem is we don’t know how to get to “now.” It’s kind of ironic. Now is right “here” waiting for us, and … [Read more...]
