why self-improvement makes you neurotic
I’m about to make a major admission of error. I am hereby fessing up to a seriously flawed paradigm that has informed much of my adult life, and, (crap, sorry, apologies in advance,) too much of what I’ve espoused. I’ve come to this revelatory humility through two important practices in my life: 1) getting ready...
the soul of what you want to create: an interview with Hiro Boga
Whenever I talk to Hiro Boga, I know I’m in the presence of…true presence. Rare and lucid is she. Hiro is a master intuitive who has helped thousands of clients, including me, fire up their creative sovereignty — the ability to rule your inner world, with dignity and intention.

crazy sexy diet: self-empowered glowing and the science of kris carr
Kris Carr has a kind of shine that you want to hang out in and soak up. I’ve come up with this theory on her radiance: she was born with it (everyone is, many of us severely dim it down and that’s just tragic,) but she is one of the rare ones who surfaced her...
beware of possibility thinking: how to leverage your manifestation ju-ju
I was at an event that kicked off with a group meditation. (Before I tell you how it went down, allow me to say that I think you should approach all meditations guided by strangers with caution. I’ve been to many a gathering where someone wants to lead us down the golden path – and...
hot songs: 3 angels to groove your way
It took me a long time to ask for help and not feel weak about it. I thought I needed to behave for God to deliver. I didn’t want to ask too much of my cosmic board of advisors, lest I wear out my welcome. I’m over it. I figure I have an astral tribe...

time management with the monks
One mile south of Georgia O’Keefe’s beloved Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, thirteen miles down a cliff-hugging dirt road in the heart of Chama Canyon, you will find Christ In The Desert. The Benedictine Monastery is cloister to about twenty monks. I’d fantasized about retreating to the remote monastery for about fifteen years. And when...
goddess feature: saraswati, rocking the creativity
Saraswati is my #1 Goddess. She rules what I dig most. I’m surprised she’s not up there with Kali and Aphrodite in mass popularity. Saraswati is regarded as the Goddess of knowledge and the arts. She represents consciousness and wisdom, is regarded as the goddess of sound and speech, and is revered as the dispeller...
can you blow it all away? my day with the monks
This weekend my son and I ended up at a Sand Mandala ceremony guided by Tibetan Monks. I just vaguely remembered that something about monks was going on at the Chinese Gardens, and we just happened to arrive as the ceremony was beginning. And there was a prayer carpet in the front row that was...
what’s your relationship to sleep?
I’ve subscribed for years to this occasional email from Dadi Jahnki. She’s the current leader of the Brahma Kumaris spiritual organization. I loved last week’s message from her: Dear Friend, Om shanti. Sometimes when we are together, you ask me why I don’t seem to get tired when I travel from India or give programs...
