Obtain Self Love: The How To…

By 1 Comment

The most powerful generator of self-love is your soul. Your soul is eternal. Your soul is vast, unknowable, intelligent, comprehensive and visionary in its grasp of your life. Intuition is the voice of your soul, that small voice within that tells you what is true. Sometimes that voice is experienced as a feeling or gut reaction. At times we simply know what is right. When we ignore that voice, we regret and shake our heads saying, "I knew better." Connecting with your soul is easy. As you … [Read more...]

Choosing the Difference

Several years ago, I entered a three-week retreat, during which time I disconnected from everyone and everything. Something hugely powerful and irresistible was pulling me away from the outside world, towards an unknown inner journey of reflection, release and renewal. It was as if I had an appointment for which I was not ready. An alchemical process was going to catalyze something within me, my intuition told me, which was going to get me ready by dissolving what might be in the way, by … [Read more...]

The drug called ‘Approval’

By Leave a Comment

We've all been drugged, so we hardly notice that it's a problem until we overcome the addiction -- or should I say, "if" we overcome it. As Anthony De Mello describes it: Imagine giving a young child a taste for heroin. After a short while, their bodies crave the drug to the point of needing its fix usually for an entire lifetime. Now replace the word heroin with these words: approval...acceptance...or any other word to describe a sense of belonging. This is what we've been drugged with -- … [Read more...]

A Hugging Meditation

After the events this week in the Middle East, I have been feeling a deep sense of sorrow. I had many discussions both with people who were celebrating and with people, like me, who just felt sad at the state of the world. I keep thinking we all need to do better than this. Today I realized that I was on the verge of tears for no apparent reason. It had been coming and going for quite some time, but today on the drive home I found them welling up in me. I had the radio on in the car and a … [Read more...]

Star Wisdom | June 2011

Fasten your seat belts. After a comparatively mellow May, June starts off with a solar eclipse in Gemini on the 1st. We get a lunar (full moon) eclipse in Sagittarius on the 15th, and then another solar eclipse in Cancer overnight on the 30th. Three eclipses in one month makes for some intense transformational astrology. Can you say "grounding and centering"? Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)...You're probably going to need to spend more this month with Mars in your 2nd House of money and possessions. … [Read more...]

Happiness, it is sitting right in front of you

I am: a psychologist with more than 30 years of clinical experience; a qigong teacher with nearly 15 years of study, practice and teaching; and a man who is nearly 60 and has spent most of his life searching for happiness. And I really didn't understand that a central element to that happiness was sitting in front of me all the time. As a psychotherapist, I was looking for the right theoretical school, the right technique, the right approach to help my clients not only heal, but also find … [Read more...]

Gratitude in a Broken Heart

The only reoccurring childhood nightmare I ever had was about cats taking over the world. I would wake up, get out of bed and act out a new ending where I befriended the enemy cats by feeding them milk and saved the day. For most of my life, being around cats caused me to sneeze, itch and made my eyes water. I really liked Dale. He had two cats, so I decided it was time to make my peace with them. Binx was easy. He was shy and hid whenever I arrived at Dale's house. Buzz was another entity … [Read more...]

Crazy Bones and Lazy Bones

As a kid, I found myself surrounded by horses, cows, chickens, cats, rabbits and dogs. Animals have the amazing gift of sharing their wisdom, and if we pay close attention, they can be our greatest teachers. Although their bodies have long been let go of, their spirits remain. Their nicknames engraved on the stepping stones that grace my garden is a reminder of the connection we still have, and the sweet memory of spreading their ashes while their doggie playmates ran through their dust … [Read more...]

"If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it." -- William Arthur Ward A friend -- Giselle Massi, author of We are Here for a Purpose: How to Find Yours -- last month emailed me about an encounter she had with her grandfather. What she wrote has stuck in my mind ever since, and I want to share it with you: "I had a stunning vision yesterday. My dad's dad, Victor showed up. He's been dead nearly 30 years and this was the first time. The message Victor … [Read more...]
