  I think part of the challenge of being on a spiritual journey is that sometimes we can get all “Lama-Dama-Ding-Dong” about it. We think enlightenment is serious or we express these platitudes of love and peace and Kumbaya – when in actuality, real transformative, spiritual change occurs by getting into the nitty-gritty of itRead more

We live in three different realities. Or another way to think of it is that we allow three different narratives to run our lives. What if we became more mindful of which narrative we spent the most time? The first reality is simply the nature of the 3-dimensional reality we’re all living in. It’s ourRead more

We hold back for all sorts of reasons. We think we’re going to be too much. We’re scared we won’t have enough if we give it all away. We believe that others will judge us and we’ll look stupid or weird or crazy. We don’t trust that if we really stopped holding ourselves back thatRead more

Sometimes radical shifts in our perspectives of how we see ourselves and our world require major, dramatic openings.

I can’t believe it’s been an entire year of creating. In many respects, a year means so little in the enormity of our lives and how they unfold. The things we make huge dramas about, or the things we become consumed with or fret over, ultimately work themselves out and a year later we canRead more

Back in September when I was in New York, I asked the students (as I always do when I’m assessing a class) what they felt were areas in their work they still were developing. The answers, although different for each student, also were very similar. Like everything in acting, the things we most need toRead more

Back in April, I lectured about psychologist, Shawn Achor, and all his trailblazing work in the area of brain research connected to happiness. He developed a term called “The Happiness Advantage” that basically shows that when we choose to be happy in the present, all the learning centers of the brain are turned on andRead more

In her book, 5 Steps To A Quantum Life, Natalie Reid discusses how we all have binding agreements that we’ve created for ourselves that keep us from actually getting what we want in life. They’re tied to the past and keep us operating in our lives from blame, anger, being the victim, and not lettingRead more

You don’t get what you wish for in life, you get what you believe. And that can be a tad scary at first because we have all these desires in life but we also often have conflicting belief systems that get triggered once we have a desire. So if our belief system is not inRead more
