Bluey, "my" blue coloured green frog (Rana clamitans) that lives (used to live?) in my pond has been missing for a long time. I really miss him, and I always keep an eye out for him... This spring, there are LOTS of frogs...Maybe the most I've ever had! There seems...
One of my most treasured clients gifted an amazing audio series to me, it is called The Science of Enlightenment, by Shinzen Young. This audio series strikes a delightfully refreshing bridge between reason and mysticism. An intelligent, rational, practical...

When you feel mad, upset, out-of-sorts, off balance, not-yourself, etc., there is only one reason why: You are lying to yourself. You are holding an idea in your mind, that is not true, and/or taking an action you don't believe in. When we lie to ourselves, we feel...
We've all been there. Overwhelm. Too much to do, certainly too much to try and control. Yet, if we are in overwhelm, we are trying to control too much, consider too much, do too much at once. Yet, that often gets us into a state wherein we don't do anything. Then,...

I experimented with the Sedona Method the other day. The idea is to feel an emotion, then ask yourself three questions until the emotion doesn't bother you any more. It is a method for "letting go." I was feeling a very strong emotion and I started asking myself...
Mother nature will maintain a balance, and preserve the Earth, no matter what that may entail. We can warm her up, but Earth will cool herself down if she wants to. The volcano in Iceland released heat, and will add ash into the atmosphere that will cool us off....

I can still remember it now... I'm around 5 years old, and sitting at the top of one of those molded slides for swimming pools. You know, the ones that everyone had back in the 70's and 80's? I've got three very frustrated lifeguards around me, one on each side of...
