Exploring Ego: How is it like my tongue?
I have encountered various points of view about the human ego, my least favorite is that it is ‘bad and wrong’. Some beliefs state the ego needs dissolving and needs to ‘die’ to be an ‘enlightened’ human being. After multiple conversations with clients about the optimal function and relationship of the ego in our multidimensional […]
Who are you “othering?”
Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay I am paying attention to how gosh darn often I find my thoughts judging “those people” who are bad and wrong. “They” do not share my perspective, “they” are irrelevant, “they” are a threat. Maybe you know “those other people” too. Othering occurs when I view or treat a person or group […]
Practicing Beginner’s Mind: Time for a Shift in Perspective
Sometimes I enter a new experience or encounter and prejudge how it is going to go. I have attached meaning and a story that is made up in my mind. I make assumptions and conjure up expectations before the moment even occurs. It is so automatic, so conditioned, and so limiting! As 2020 approaches a […]

More allowing, more trust, more willingness to be […]

For me, I am preparing to teach new classes, have moved into a new office, and participated in several interviews, webinars, and podcasts. Deeper than the external preparation, there is an inner readiness occurring as waves of […]
Bridging the Divide Towards Unity
I feel a bombardment daily trying to convince me that focusing on our differences and making the “other” who does not think like me, look like me, or believe like me is “bad and wrong.” A constant stream of news and social media encourages divisiveness and polarity. I am not buying it. Since I was a small […]
Cultivating Inner and Outer Transformation: What is Transforming in YOU?
Recently I offered a webinar on Cultivating Inner and Outer Transformation Amidst Stressful Times. There was a lively conversation about intentionally co-creating during this time of tremendous change and emerging new possibilities. It’s hard. It’s confusing. Let’s learn from previous systems that were not working and find optimal ways of being and doing for all who coexist […]
What are you seeing more clearly?
During this time of confinement and crisis, what are you noticing that you did not pay attention to when you were in your “normal busy” routine? As I talk daily to clients and students, I am inspired by their courage and raw honesty as each person is reflecting deeply on their inner and outer experiences. […]
Are you feeling the interconnectedness?
What an opportunity! We are amidst a declared pandemic. The flow of information, fear and viruses are streaming through networks of interconnection. Humanity has an unprecedented opportunity to recognize WE are undeniably and unequivocally living and breathing in one unified interdependent {moving towards symbiotic} experience. In part, I wrote my book Living From the Center […]
