Are you having challenge after challenge, and not sure of what to do?
Do you go from one valley to another?
Do you wonder what the solution is?
You may be trying to lead a 3rd dimensional life with a 3rd dimensional consciousness.

I just returned yesterday from the family fun cruise with Circles of Light Ministries, where I made a startling discovery:
AS BIG AS I THOUGHT I WAS LIVING, MY LIFE IS WAY TOO SMALL.
I’m feeling like the frog who lived at the bottom of the well, rather comfy, thinking it was nice to look up and [...]

I love that swishing, sweeping sound that happens when I walk through a pile of fallen leaves.
It’s fall on the Eastern seaboard of the U.S. as I write this, and today I went swishing through the leaves in the park… the ones that had fallen from their high places and now were making a beautiful [...]

I recently underwent Heart Opening Surgery.
Before I tell you about that experience, a little background is in order.
From the age of 4 until I was about 30, I was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
A main tenet I remember hearing was: ‘the heart is treacherous, who can know it?’ A statement based on Jeremiah 17:9.

If you don’t have any, get yourself a group of Prayer Angels. They’re humans who are committed to the understanding that their life is a prayer.
And they’ll pray for you, and with you, at a moment’s notice.

The ego is tricky.
What’s ego? That aspect within the human psyche that edges God out. It’s the aspect of self that’s married to the physical world of effects and receives all its information from the 5 senses.
We can either choose to be in the God space, which is all-love, all-joy, all-abundance and all-good all the [...]

There are things I say to myself often to tame the inner ramblings that try to keep me off purpose.
At any given time, there could be an array of internal voices, some helpful, some not so much, some downright destructive or inhibiting. An effective internal voice management system is essential for living at peak.

Ever since I first heard the concept, I’ve been fascinated with Kaizen.
What It Means
Kaizen is a Japanese principle for creating change. Kai in Japanese means “change” or “to correct” and Zen means “good”. So Kaizen is a way of creating continuous good change, in personal life and in organizations.

I am a huge fan of Bikram Yoga, probably because it’s been one of the most mind-bending, body-bending, breath changing things I’ve done with myself.
The studio where I currently practice is the Takoma Park Bikram Yoga studio, owned by Stephen Pleasant (isn’t that a great name?)
It’s done in a yoga studio that’s been heated to [...]
