The way we use our body, mind and emotions creates our reality, even if that reality is untrue or incomplete. If we think a thought enough times it starts to feel like the real thing. In yoga, a visual focal point is called a drishti. Focusing the eyes on a specific spot steadies the body, keeps the mind alert and […]

The holidays are over, and the resolutions and “One Words” have been thoughtfully chosen and announced… then the reality of January kicks in. Many of us struggle with the first few months of the year emotionally and financially. We start out positive and optimistic and then our old patterns sneak back into our day-to-day lives and before we know it […]

The good news – food, family and money! The bad news – food, family and money!  But wait – you have much more within your power than you have given yourself credit for. Your subconscious mind has recorded all information since the time you were born.  That’s a lot of information.  Some of what we retain from the past serves […]

A few years ago my spiritual teacher presented these questions to us during an early morning meditation. I remember the clarity and hope that the subsequent solutions offered.

The key to having a really fulfilling relationship with another person is in learning to love our self first.

2015 was a turbulent year. The polarities in our world have become more extreme, and many of us are caught in an emotional storm, trying to make sense of it all. The center line and the homeostatic tendency of life always shift toward harmony and equilibrium. When there is movement away from that center line, an equal and opposite reaction […]
