When You Meet That Mean Girl, Don’t Disregard Her Humanness.

It’s time to throw yourself a pity party. Your eyes get steely, distant and defeated. You say, with definitive cynicism, that Mean Girl is responsible for all your problems and your pain. You predict, with devastated finality, how Mean Girl will never leave you alone. She will continue to fuck ...

What Is Healing?

To me, healing is to walk around the world not feeling like you have a big fat open gaping wound in the middle of your body, saying 'Here I am. I have been hurt, and I am open and vulnerable to be hurt again'. It is not feeling like there is something wrong with you for having suffered what you ...

Dig Below the ‘Fine, Thanks’ Façade & Awaken to Love.

Awakening to love, and reconnecting with your heart, is living with presence, bravery and vulnerability. It's a willingness to accept it all, moment to moment -- the good times, the painful times, the perfections, the fuck-ups, the triumphs and the spectacular failures.

In men, their physicality is much more like armor. Social roles they have had throughout history reinforced this, so their heart is harder to reach. But that doesn’t mean it does not desire to be touched just as much. The endless search for connection, the craving for love, and the wish to be ...

Staying In The Present Moment: I Won’t Be A Victim, I’ll Overcome.

When you live under the shadow of comparisons to other human beings, the pressure of expectations you just can't fulfill, or know of videos on the internet of people torturing their kids, their pets. When you see the limits people set to not give or share, and the length greed takes. The bombs ...

The Real Reasons To Revere Your Yoga Teacher.

Revere him for being just like you: strong, soft, vulnerable, admirable, respectable, lovable and human, oh-so-human. Revere her for coming to her mat every day to acknowledge her strengths and in turn, her weaknesses; her ego and in turn, her humility; his knowledge and in turn, his ignorance.
