Good-fortune planets in place to reduce cosmic drama

By 1 Comment
stars2

November just gets better as the month goes on. Both Venus and Jupiter - the traditional good fortune planets - return to direct motion on Nov. 18 and the month is largely devoid of the cosmic drama that has characterized so much of this year. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)...I see all of this introspection (or the no-holds-barred cage match) in your relationship resulting in super-positive changes starting around the Full Moon on the 21st. In the meantime, use this energy! It's time to let go of … [Read more...]

When I listed a property for sale on Craigslist, I received a few bona fide inquiries along with lots of replies from scammers. At first I took the scammers seriously and engaged with them until it was obvious their inquiry was illicit. After a while it was easy to distinguish between honest people and con men. One day I received a scam inquiry that was unusually long and complicated. The supposed buyer wove a lengthy tale about why I should turn the property over to him before he paid, and … [Read more...]

Is it intuition or self talk?

By 8 Comments
ponder

Recently someone asked me, "How do I know if the information I am getting is coming from my intuition or from my own self talk?" This is a very good question, and one that everyone who is serious about being intuitive needs to ask on occasion. It is a challenge to be intuitive about yourself and most of us find that it is far easier to give someone else a psychic reading than to give ourselves good intuitive advice. Why? Because our own hopes, dreams, worries and fears tend to get in the way … [Read more...]

The Path of Presence

By Leave a Comment
anger

Question: I have been feeling depressed lately. Can you speak about depression? Answer: If you have been feeling depressed, it more than likely indicates that you have anger repressed within you. If you want to come out of the depression, you will have to learn how to express anger in a conscious and responsible way. You will have to liberate the energy of anger so that it is no longer repressed within you. Whenever you feel angry, it is an indication that you are not getting what you want … [Read more...]

I’m Sorry and True Intent

By Leave a Comment
pout

I'm sorry. Two very small words...and yet they can be the most difficult and challenging words to say or not say. Said at the right time and for the right reasons, they diffuse the trickiest of situations. Said at the wrong time or for wrong reasons, it becomes a glib shield of insincerity. I was biking recently and it was interesting to see how many bicyclists entered the path without looking. I found myself being extra attentive and reminding people from time to time. Sometimes they were … [Read more...]

Fulfills Me Up

friends

My column did not appear in last month's issue of The Edge. 'Ja miss me? Instead of writing I was busy painting and organizing furniture in my new home, the story of which appeared in the September issue as an example of Mutuality in the New Living Field. After painting the living room five times (no, not a typo) to get the color just so, I am finally free to tackle what's next. People complain about packing when contemplating a move, but preparation of the new space and unpacking are the … [Read more...]

Spiritual Q & A

By Leave a Comment

Question: Do you feel that there is a force operating in the world that is negative or oppositional to our spiritual development, and if so, how does that force interfere with our ability to create the reality we want? Answer: The current paradigm is aligned with a historical force that opposes freedom and the beckoning new paradigm aligns with a force that promotes freedom. The force that opposes freedom, although formidable, cannot interfere with our creation of our reality without our … [Read more...]

The Game of Life is Changing Before our Very Eyes

By 1 Comment
wave

There's nothing new I can tell you, perhaps only reminders of things you already know. You and I know more than we are aware, and still, we seem to know next to nothing in the great scheme of it all. Sometimes I feel like we are all participants of a huge reality show called "Life on Earth." The objective is to make it from the starting line to the finishing line, alive. The challenge is to overcome self-imposed obstacles [insert yours here] while at the same time surviving ones that the … [Read more...]

Break the Fourth Wall

A few years ago after teaching a corporate yoga class, I came to the realization that I hadn't truly connected with a group of students. I didn't realize how disconnected my students and I were until our last class of the year, when several of us chatted outside of the fitness center after class. After those several minutes, I left my students wondering what had kept us so disconnected for so long. After leaving the building, I realized what a mistake I had been making in not connecting with … [Read more...]

Exploring the relationship between our bodies and our emotions

By Leave a Comment
man_graffiti

What we feel in our physical bodies and our emotions, memories and experiences are inextricably wound together in ways that we can only begin to imagine. The connection between what we think and how we feel is becoming more and more well documented and well considered, but I believe that the room for exploration of this connection is still in its infancy. I also know that this connection can be exploited for the purposes of bringing people relief in a more profound and complete way. While … [Read more...]

Siddhis: The Magical Powers of Yoga

By Leave a Comment
monk

I first heard of the siddhis when I was in college studying the philosophy of yoga. It was also the first time I heard of yoga. In my philosophy course, I learned that one of the side-effects of yogic pursuits was distracting "powers" that seemed to just crop up at a point when the yogi was really getting proficient at the various yogic practices (not necessarily hatha, or physical yoga). I got excited when I heard about them. Then I was informed that these powers were a distraction because … [Read more...]

What would Love Say?

love_dandelion

Each month, this column features a "Message from Love" with an action step and meditation. Each message gives examples of what Love might say and do in various circumstances. So, whenever you find yourself feeling scared, angry or uncomfortable, instead of letting fear have its way, practice asking yourself: What would Love Say? Love is easier than fear. Follow the voice of love in your heart. Feel good. What would Love Do? When you look at yourself, others or life's … [Read more...]

“don” We Now

man_snow

In retrospect, I have found a congruent theme and archetype in my life: The "don." Actually three in particular: don Juan De Marco: The hopeless romantic that sees everything and everyone at their fullest potential and is in love with life and experience. don Quixote: Dreams the impossible dream and sees the endless potential in all things and stands up against any and all wrong. don Juan Matus: The Nagual that holds the space for change and personal power. One who is prepared to rule … [Read more...]

Sign of the Times

Through the process, there was a deeper, more extraordinary dissolution of the egoic self than I had previously experienced. It wasn't a dissolving like when you sit in meditation and your sense of self dissolves into a wonderful state of presence. It was more like someone was ripping layers off me, one by one. It was very unceremonious. It wasn't nice, it wasn't kind, and it wasn't easy. It was existence shoving a mirror in front of my face and literally holding me there so I could not look … [Read more...]

Reading the Signs

By Leave a Comment
drum

So here I am, one year into 10 Billion Beats - a simple vision that the world is a better place when people stand together with a common purpose instead of negotiating what divides us. Some have called this coherence. Seeing the Earth bleed before our eyes with only blind guesses about how to stop the hemorrhage is a stark reminder of the incoherent battle we humans have waged with nature. There are no words to adequately describe watching a catastrophe unfold 5,000 feet beneath the sea. All … [Read more...]
