When you sit, stop, and tune in, you’re entering an infinite realm of discovery and possibility. So what you think about it, the beliefs you have about it, what you’ve heard about it – all that can go into the background, so that you can actually begin to see, and feel, and be available, fresh, […]
The secret way to freedom is to allow yourself to become intimate with the unconscious struggle that is programmed into you. It’s a struggle you don’t even necessarily know you have until you stop, eliminate as many distractions as possible, and actually pay attention to how conditioning has been literally imprinted into your nervous system, […]
Enlightenment and awareness are happening naturally. That’s what brought you here, that movement within you. Natural healing is nothing more than the process of awakening and becoming liberated. A flower growing in a garden has its own wisdom that produces that beautiful blossom and that wonderful fragrance, and you are exactly like that rose. Recorded […]
It’s important to remind yourself to not get caught in that force field of struggle, of worry and concern, but rather to bring more attention to and just be present with what’s arising, whatever it is, so that it can naturally circulate through and out of your system and be integrated into a deeper realm […]

Give yourself appreciation for all the hard work you’re doing to be who you are, and to face the life that you have each moment. Give yourself some gratitude for your effort, some loving kindness and compassion for your struggle, so that your heart remains pliable and soft and available to be vulnerable, to receive, […]
Practice is the art of refinement of life. Right now, are you here, or are you thinking about something? Are you aware of your whole body right now? Are you aware of your breath right now? Every moment is completely new. Practice is continually guiding yourself back to what’s actually happening. Every moment is completely […]
This is a powerful, powerful time for us as a human species. Faced with these incredible challenges, we have the opportunity to learn how to really be present, and to allow that learning to continually evolve. So the question I have for you right now, given all that’s happening, is: are you learning, or are […]

Since it’s a new year, we need a fresh start, internally and externally. And what we are always discovering on this journey is that a fresh start is really what this path is about. Recorded 1/6/2020 in San Francisco.
You really do have to like a good challenge for this journey, this exploration, this discovery; because it is challenging. Doesn’t it force you to face what you didn’t want to feel? What you didn’t want to be aware of? What you didn’t want to have to look at, or let go of? Recorded 12/7/2019 […]
To receive the truth, you must become empty. So we learn to allow the emptying of the vessel of our conditioning, until the vessel itself dissolves into light, into presence, connection, being — and we surrender to that. We realize this is what’s really happening. Not some idea of life, but every moment — right […]
