I have personally experienced gurus and spiritual teachers (as recently as the last 10 years and well before that) take advantage their trusted position as “teacher” and use not only their teachings but also their state of consciousness to justify their predatory, manipulative or contractive “worldly” behavior. And some of these teachers had definitely achieved the “enlightened” or realized state. But still, I have […]

 This published article is taken from my chapter in Bumps in Motion… I became fascinated with the idea of mandala after it became fascinated with me. It wasn’t until I was already well into the process of the creation of  my first mandala in the spring of 1995 or what I was calling my “map of consciousness” or my “picture of the soul” that I even recognized what […]

Many people exist in an unconscious, disempowered fog of passive expectation –Waiting for the ideal relationship, the right moment, a divine inspiration, somebody else to step forward or for that perfect set of circumstances to magically manifest to inspire them to finally take authentic, sincere and honest steps towards a desired endeavor. People have been conditioned to be idle spectators of their own lives, […]

The visionary human endeavor to build a more evolved society through innovation, progress and growth has also birthed an unfortunate, rampant obsession that keeps the modern world engrossed in a profound state of addiction. It’s this shadow side of cultural progress that blindly worships this unquenchable desire to maintain, enhance and exceed its ongoing experience and definition of “comfort” at all costs. All too […]

When asked, I have heard many people in our modern culture often describe themselves as being “spiritual.” What does that actually mean? In many cases, this expression has been adapted into a pop-culture trend which now simply refers to a “spiritual person” as being something other than a “religious person.”  The same phrase is also often used to classify a compartmentalized “spiritual” activity, behavior, […]

An honest and courageous investigation from a truly holistic perspective into the core of Self-Love is often misrepresented, misunderstood and difficult to navigate without clarity. We have been soothed by our sense-gratifying society, our teachers, mentors and especially by our pop-culture world of spirituality to conjure a very specific vision of that ideal without understanding the essence of dynamics of consciousness. When the topic […]

The journey into Awareness progresses as you begin to unravel the contractive and outdated perceptions and interpretations that are unwittingly running rampant through your unconscious conditioning. Many channel an enormous, but necessary amount of attention and exploration into their personal journey re-learning how to love, honor and respect themselves. And yet, when given the daily opportunity to realize this ideal, most seekers will willingly […]

You are encouraged to believe in the seeming necessity of being busy in order to get ahead in today’s fast-paced world. Many proclaim “there is not enough time in the day to get everything done…” Increasingly absurd demands for the sake of efficiency are all being squeezed into already unmanageable schedules. It is becoming apparent that one of the most valuable commodities of the […]

In the buzz of a vast information network that bombards the human consciousness with a combination of tantalizing mind-candy and instant sense gratification, we are being pressured to adapt by developing shorter attention spans.  Like a pebble skipping across the surface of the water, we are being influenced to think, move and react to one other in this immediate access society with quick blips […]

What is Diatomaceous Earth? Also called diatomite, diatomaceous earth is a natural sedimentary rock made from fossilized remains of hard-shelled algae called diatoms. It can easily be crumbled into a white powder. Particles of diatomaceous earth average in size between ten to two hundred micrometers. It is quite light, has an abrasive feel similar to pumice, and is highly porous. Diatomaceous earth contains […]

(Which Teacher is Right For me?) If you speak to anyone who has attained a high level of mastery in their chosen field of study they will often make reference to their inspiration, influences and teachers that guided them on their own journey of exploration. During my process and still today, I hold a deep respect for the sacred tradition of this intimate relationship […]

Over the years, I have heard many spiritual seekers and aspirants espouse that they are “standing in their power” or in the process of “reclaiming or taking back their power”. I have often pondered, “what does that actually mean?” I have noticed these expressions have become common phrases in the new age circles, and often times are used as  euphemisms that describe the relative […]

(A tool for releasing and transforming consciousness) As we continue to deepen in our experience of our infinite nature and therefore begin to change our relationships to all the outdated patterns, habits, and conditioning in our relative bodies (physical, mental, emotional, and energetic) there are many tools available to facilitate this process of deconstructing, letting go, releasing, or purging all the “unnecessary stuff” within […]

Healing can be defined as the spontaneous or transcendental moment, act, or inspiration that enables restoration to an original state of balance and integrity. It is a reminder of the true essence of what is and what always was. And it is the ability to overcome a temporary “condition” or “dis-ease” allowing one to return to a sound and whole state of being.. As […]
