Many of my clients know the power of living with an idea, being devoted to it, and seeing the shifts that come with that. Sometimes it's a phrase like "Don't worry, just do it!" And sometimes it's a word like "Release." I'd like to share with you my word for 2018...

Many people believe that the majority of the crimes against humanity are happening somewhere else, “out there” in the world. But there is a crime against humanity that is rarely seen or talked about in those terms and is likely happening right where you’re sitting. My...

In life, we always have choices. But only to the extent that we are aware of them. We could say: The only time you don’t have a choice about anything is when other options haven’t occurred to you. Our choices tend to be made from the options that occur to us in the...

Many people tend to judge and compare themselves to others. Many tend to see themselves smaller, less than, and not as good enough as others. Perhaps you find yourself doing this throughout the week? If so, here’s a question I bet nobody’s asked you: How can you...

I shot this short video after co-creating a deep, powerful conversation with a client. Her life will never quite be the same.  When we question the limiting, fear-based thoughts that we've innocently clung to all our lives, we discover something radical and profound:...

Earlier this year, my family and I moved from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Northern California. As always, we were following our "inner pull” and guidance. We’ve done this together enough to know that when we're both feeling pulled in a direction, we are being invited to...

One of the simple, yet profound, teachings in the book A Course In Miracles is the following passage: Love holds no grievances. I’ve spent many moons contemplating the truth of this statement in my life. In my own experience, I have seen how in a moment of...

There are two very distinct Ways of Being in life. The first, and most popular Way of Being, can be summed up in one word: ForGet = Life Is For Getting Getting stuffGetting loveGetting successGetting moneyGetting enlightenmentEtc. Etc. When we believe the purpose of...

One of the obstacles to genuine transformation and fulfillment is the belief that our happiness, joy and bliss exists somewhere other than here and now. When we buy into this idea, we set ourselves up to overlook the one and only place where happiness and peace...

For years, I really thought there was something wrong with me. And because I believed this thought, I became very afraid. Afraid of others - because, God forbid, they might discover that there really is something wrong with me, in which case, they’ll want...

Imagine for a moment that you are a lamp… And like all lamps in this world, you have one primary purpose in life: To shine your light upon the world. Now, like all lamps, to fulfill your primary purpose in life you’re going to need to be plugged into the right socket...

Years ago, while sitting in the pitch-black darkness and heat of a sweat lodge, a friend and teacher of mine said something that has stuck with me all these years. He said… “In life, if you don’t pay attention, you’ll pay with pain.” I didn’t fully understand it at...

It’s always fascinated me how when some people hear the news that they are going to die soon, their whole way of being up to that point undergoes a profound transformation. Suddenly, these people shift their focus to what’s most important to them....

A cluttered mind can’t see anything clearly. A mind cluttered with thoughts tends to feel stressed, insecure and tense. This tense feeling, however, can be seen as a gift. It can be seen as our innate wisdom letting us know that we’re nurturing our...

Consider this for a moment: We only seek to get from this world that which we haven’t yet realized we already have within us. It’s one thing to fulfill your soul’s potential, to express your latent talents, gifts and capacities, from a place of...

One morning, as I sat down for my morning reading, I opened the book, A Course In Miracles, and I read a line that, first, stopped me in my tracks, and second, it seemed to dissolve some inner tension that I didn’t even realize I was holding in that moment. The line...

There is an acceleration of personal healing and spiritual evolution when we completely release the belief that “Somehow, in some way, someone or something has done something to make me feel the way I feel.” That’s the tagline for a Victim Mentality. Victimhood is...

When we’re really caught up in our thinking, something fascinating occurs: thoughts no longer look like thoughts, they look like “reality.” It’s the easiest thing to forget that we’re just thinking in the moment. When we forget that we’re thinking in the moment, we...

We all have innate wisdom. This innate wisdom is always offering it’s gentle guidance, whether we realize it or not. When we’re present and listening deeply, this wisdom flows through us effortlessly, providing the solutions to every one of our problems...

When I was a young boy, I remember going to the local Carnival and coming upon one of those “House of Mirrors”. After seeing these things in a few movies, I had to go in and see it for myself. Once inside, I remember walking down a hall lined with...

“What would make today great?”… For years, every morning, I’ve asked myself this very question. I’ve come to realize that how you answer this question speaks volumes about how deeply you truly understand that your life is being created,...

Something I’ve done for years is to encourage my clients to “live with and from” specific and empowering ideas (a credo if you will) for a certain amount of time. Many of these “live-withs” end up becoming integrated into their “way of being” simply because of the...
