Consider this your coming-out party. A celebration of You, of the You That is Within and the You that you have been keeping from the world. This month, you take the spotlight. You shine forth your beacon of Self. You let the world see you in all your glory. This month, you let your secrets out, the secrets inside you that have been gnawing at you, eating away at your inside bit by bit, and keeping you from being the complete, beautiful, passionate, heart-filled person that lives within you...

All year you have been preparing for what is to emerge from deep within you this month. This is the month that you connect with the True You, the fire deep within, the source of power and strength that is inside you and always has been. This is the month that you begin to manifest your True Self, showing yourself and the world the beauty, the perfection, the exquisite imperfect humanity that is you. This is the month you become more of yourself than you ever have been before. This is the... Read Full Story

Recently I had a total facepalm moment. You know what I’m talking about. It’s like Homer Simpson’s “D’oh!”s but stronger. More like the moment you realize that all your life you have been Doing It All Wrong. There is a better way. So you slap the palm of your hand to your face. Yeah. I could have had a V-8 . That’s what has been happening to me about Wants. About saying what I want. I figured out I have been going about my Wants all wrong. Well, not wrong exactly, since nothing is ever...

Coiled within you has been All That You Are. Waiting. Hiding, perhaps. Resting. Growing stronger and more powerful. This All That You Are is now ready, nearly ready, to begin to make its way upward and outward into the light. Thus begins The Rising. You may think of this as kundalini . Do you know it? Kundalini is the sleeping serpent that lies within you — your potential, your corporeal life force. Sri Ramana Maharshi said that the kundalini is the natural energy of the Self, the Self...

I was listening to a speaker once, some time ago, in a community room at the top floor of a hospital. ?He spoke passionately and vehemently about mental health, about meditation, about positive thinking, and above all about community. ?I could hear his thoughts:? I know the solution for you . ? I have overcome all you can dream of . ? I can be your guide. His voice entranced, and I found myself wanting to believe. ?Surely there must be a simple solution to discontentment, to anxiety, to... Read Full Story

"Life is glorious, but life is also wretched. It is both. Appreciating the gloriousness inspires us, encourages us, cheers us up, gives us a bigger perspective, energizes us. We feel connected. But if that’s all that’s happening, we get arrogant and start to look down on others, and there is a sense of making ourselves a big deal and being really serious about it, wanting it to be like that forever. The gloriousness becomes tinged by craving and addiction. On the other hand, wretchedness... Read Full Story

This month, what is not needed is burned clean. Many of us will choose to allow layers of held emotions, patterns, and beliefs to burn away into a fiery pyre, sending sparks of intention up into the ethers and sending a message to the universe about – clearly this time – what is needed and what is not. From the ashes of this burning away will rise the new shining you, bathed in golden promise and replete with all the nutrients necessary for strong green growth and glorious prospect. Think...

Rolling beneath you right now are the reverberations of what has now become years of foundational activity. This manifested physically last month as the devastating and planetary game-changing earthquake and tsunami in Japan, but continues still as movement underneath, behind the scenes, and growing momentum for supported global change. Are you ready? Whether or not you feel you are now in a position to assume the mantle of your life purpose and to step firmly onto your path, rest assured... Read Full Story

It is the 4th day of the month and I have not yet published a Monthly Message . This weighs heavily on me for a number of reasons, but the weight, the crushing weight of the water that covers me slows me down, leaves me gasping, and caused me to spend the better part of my day clicking links in my Facebook stream, is a stronger source of concern. Wait, what? Facebook ? Oh, did you think I meditated for five hours a day? Ahem. I am not the only one feeling this inertia, feeling like I am... Read Full Story
