It’s about to happen again! In a few days (on September 22 to be exact) there will only be 100 days left before this year is just a memory. That’s not much time, or is it? Have you ever wondered just how much you could accomplish in 100 days if you really got focused? The truth is that 100 days is more than enough time to make some very significant changes in your life, but first you have to decide to make it happen. So, you have a choice. You can let this year run its…
Seeing Life Without Projections
Quite some time ago, I wrote about the importance of understanding projections in a blog post called: Understanding Your Projections and How They Block Your Spiritual Growth. In short, projections are our ideas about other people and how the world should act or interact with us. The term creates the idea that something is being projected out from us onto others. However, we also have our own projections about ourselves and how we…

How Do You Become an Overnight Success?
You work really hard for 10 years. You show up every day. You do the work. You see yourself as an artist dedicated to your craft with a desire to get better. You try new things. You fail.

No interference with your dreams
“Why, I ask, do we let reality interfere with our dreams?” – Simon Sinek You have a choice. You can passively accept today’s reality, and do nothing more; or you can move – take action – to shape tomorrow’s reality in the image of your dreams. Reality changes with the vision you embrace, and the The post No interference with your dreams appeared first on Healthy Mind Heart Body.
All the Dark Corners of Your Soul
There are levels and depths to the spiritual path as much as there are not levels and depths. This is part of the many paradoxes of the spiritual path. In the sense that an ego is trying to achieve a level of perfection or self-awareness, that is illusory. The strive for attainment and goals ultimately brings you back to the truth that there is nothing to perfect or enhance. We are divine perfection. However, as you go inside with humility, vulnerability, and compassionate aspiration, you will touch oneness. …

Beware the plateau
“There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” – Bruce Lee, martial artist, actor, filmmaker Beware of the plateau.

Spiritual Poetry: The Pristine Unseen
I get to share more spiritual poetry from my student, Rach, which I'm always excited about. I occasionally share different voices on this blog to help you get a sense of the many ways that wisdom can be expressed.

Anniversary Grief
Today is a poignant day in my hometown of New York City. The city has had a different tone and feel on 9/11 for the past 12 years. It’s always a bit subdued for a city that is almost never subdued. I wanted to take a few moments today to think of us on that

ACL Injury Means Surgery? Not Always

Healing Session Description
I often write about healing, and for me spiritual healing and spiritual teaching are almost synonymous. From the space of oneness comes the greatest teaching and the greatest healing possible. Union–that space of oneness–dissolves all separateness and disease. Hence, stepping into the healing space with me is a dissolving of separateness within you. To some degree, it is the dissolving of separateness between us as well, since we are one. …

Sea Turtles… and Distractions that Lead Us in the Wrong Direction
As I ran on the beach the other day I noticed that certain areas were closed off by fences and signs that said “Sea Turtle Eggs.” I remembered reading that female sea turtles swim to shore between May and August to dig nests in the sand and lay their eggs. Months later, the eggs hatch and the baby turtles follow the pure light of the moon back to the surf. In a perfect world, the pure light of the moon guides every turtle back safely to the ocean. However, as we know, we don’t live in a perfect world. Sea Turtle hatchlings instinctively crawl toward the brightest light. On an undeveloped beach, the brightest light is the moon. On a …
Your approval rating
“Replace the need for approval with the need to approve yourself.” Achievers recognize that they must not only be assertive with their world, they must be assertive with themselves.

Nonconformity is not the same as Individuality
Everyone wants to feel like they have some qualities that are worthy of notice. There seems to be no limit to the lengths that some will go in order to be recognized as different and to stand out in a crowd.
