Is It Really So Simple?
If so, then why does it feel like, at times, I need a bulldozer to agitate the barriers I’ve created? Quite simply, meditation can and does chip away at the fortress of conditioning.
I recently remembered how grateful I am for my meditation practice. It has not only saved [...]

Meditation ~ So Simple?
Meditation ~ Acceptance
The Resolve of Acceptance
As we move through an asana in hatha yoga or any other activity in our daily life, our mind is confronted with a choice to accept the state of our body and being, or to reject it. Our minds are well practiced at mediating situations in an attempt to create and anticipate [...]
Meditation ~ Surrender
Surrender To Surprise
Do you relish in sweet surprise? Many of us (especially us women) secretly wish for life to surprise us. And, as we wish for surprise, we also fantasize about the possibilities it holds.

Meditation ~ Curiosity
Passionate Curiosity
There is something quite wondrous about the mystery of the unknown, of what will arrive next. This wonder of life is experienced most naturally through the eyes of a child. The amazement a baby has in the movement of their hands and feet or the many miracles that occur each day as a child [...]
Meditation ~ In Rhythm
Experience the life breath as a rhythm and dance to its magic wave. Sing your souls song and commune with all that is contained in a moment.
We are alive as vibration, dancing in the sound waves of being. Though we struggle to stay in key, we gently – slowly, begin to realize [...]
Meditation ~ Willingness
Wall of Resistance
Think for a moment about the walls that engulf our beings; both the physical walls that divide our space, and also the invisible walls we build within. Walls are barriers that keep us from engaging fully in the world and, symbolically, they represent resistance. They serve to separate us from one another, and [...]
