COVID-19 Affecting Your Sleep? What if Insomnia was a Path to Awakening?

COVID-19 Affecting Your Sleep? What if Insomnia was a Path to Awakening?

April 6th, 2020


Trouble falling or staying asleep? Waking up exhausted? Lethargic or Anxious? Is it worse of late? Sleep difficulties lead to challenges with: memory; concentration; productivity; and general health and vitality. And a large percentage of us are being affected now at a higher degree than I can recall.
This is at least in part (or mostly?) due to the sadness and fear around...

During this pandemic, it’s easy to be a couch potato. There’s nothing wrong with a little video entertainment of course, but we have to remember to balance that with physical activity, too!
Exercise increases endorphins, can ward off depression, and once you get into the groove, can actually feel great, too!
Your mind may tell you to passively watch more TV, or...

Let’s face it, within seconds, anyone can find both flattering and negative information about a person, restaurant, vaccination, exercise routine, corporation, or even a sandwich and so much more online. It’s challenging but important to remember that information is created, disseminated, received and potentially regurgitated through the personal filter of the...

Are you an empathic person, very sensitive to — or even profoundly affected by — the people, energy, and circumstances around you?
Do you tend to feel the emotions of others as if they were your own… and often experience overwhelm at the weight of it all?
Maybe you constantly cater to others’ needs because you think it’s selfish to put yourself...

I was fortunate enough to visit Puerto Rico in my late teens. My High School Spanish teacher thought it would be a good way to practice conversation in another language. What I didn’t know was that the local kids there would teach me some words, words not typically taught in High School in the late 1970s, and either they didn’t make it clear what those words meant, or I just...

How long have you been trying to kill your ego? Two Years? Two Decades? Hasn’t worked yet, has it? Your ego is your opponent in life, not your enemy, and therefore your job is to defeat it, not kill it. But you can’t defeat the ego on the level of mind, you have to get past the mind and into the body, and into your emotions.
“What is the Ego and What is its...

The Only Way Out is Through

Health issues, relationship challenges, economic hardship, bullying, rainforest destruction, the news, childhood trauma...
Getting tired of it yet? Wanting to escape?
I get that. And I also know that the only way out... (sorry!)... is through.
So may "problems" are caused at the level of the mind, but as Einstein said, "No problem can be solved from the same level of...

You’ve tried everything...
And nothing works!
And even if you’ve had some success, the effects are only temporary.
ARGH!
If it seems like everyone else is getting results and you’re still running on the hamster wheel of healing, there has to be a reason. For some, they may not yet know what the root cause is. Others may know the root cause, but...
Empath or Highly Sensitive Person?

Empath or Highly Sensitive Person?

April 28th, 2019


Have you wondered, "What is the difference between an Empath and a Highly Sensitive Person?" As these terms get more absorbed into our everyday lexicon, their meanings sometimes overlap and/or can become diluted. And as more people become aware, more definitions tend to be created.
​​​To me, a Highly Sensitive Person, or HSP, is someone who is literally highly sensitive to...
Can Being Sensitive Make You Sick?

Can Being Sensitive Make You Sick?

March 2nd, 2019


I hated going to malls. I preferred isolation rather than crowds (and just a few people could mean a crowd to me!) I preferred to be among animals than most humans.
I managed to live alone and work alone from home, and avoided true emotional intimacy with most people.
And I managed to justify it all, never really inquiring why I was this way.
And then I got...

I think we’re all feeling it. There’s a heightened intensity in the air. And it’s been worse the last few years and quickly worsening.
I’ve seen lots of memes and social media threads blaming it on the stars, the media, public figures, retrogrades—you name it. And while all—or some—or none of those may play a part to varied degrees, we still...

“Tom and Mary are finishing up their dinner at home and Tom takes dessert out of the oven. Mary, slightly disappointed, asks Tom, “How come you always cut the ends off the apple pie? That’s my favorite part!”
Tom replies, “Funny. I don’t know. I always have done that. Come to think of it, my mother did that as well. I’ll call her right now...
