Truth tuning in: A lifetime with a pen
My morning writing gets more interesting when I wake in the dark. It shows me that I’m coming back to who I thought I was long ago—sometimes from a nighttime journey in a dream, aligning with something bigger and making room for what’s important in my life. Mornings are inspirational and engaging, where dark turns to light, when birds start chirping. I have tremendous trust in these moments.
My thoughts shine the way—here in words, here in solitude—witnessing my best thoughts allow seeds of who I am to come forth. I’m trusting first, sharing second. I ask myself what must be released within my mind to move forward to my best day, ailment-free, while keeping my heart shining. It’s also a time to reinoculate myself with good boundaries, potions and conversations.
Healing with Ashtanga: Modulating stress on autopilot
This time of year brings up stress. It’s not always in real time, but rather in remembering…
Not just in the mind, but in the nervous system and in the tissues. As the mornings are darker, the unconscious becomes brighter, and all that is held inside me comes alive in a new way. This shows up as inklings of thought that generate more depth, or sometimes a standstill—a pause too long—that highlights a blockage.
How to identify and get past the stagnant feeling where words or feelings are numbed? Move my body! My Ashtanga yoga practice has been my savior through the years.
Hidden, practicing cogitation
Hidden in the fog, warm sun shining through, the city by the bay lingers in the fog. I’m practicing cogitation: the act of thinking deeply…
What’s hidden behind the clouds is still there. What’s behind our faces, our actions and our words is sometimes hidden as well. There is silence out there, reaching out into the water. You can listen to what it has to say by just being in it.
Reminds me of a writer I see often
Struggling what to call this post about AI when it’s listening
I’ve discovered how much an AI company pays a writer per hour to teach it how to become literate. Actually we want AI to be in the top notch of Highly Proficient, not just Literate. The pay ranges from $20-$100 per hour.
When your computer hard drive fails spontaneously: Frustration or freedom?
If you're like most people, you have a lot of your life—both personal and business—on your computer. From financial records to secret writing to documents for your work. Right?
Feeling broken: Do you ever wonder how you'll make it through the day?
Feeling broken? Too much chaos? Too many obligations that stifle who you are? Do you ever wonder how you'll make it through the day?
Are you always too busy: Do you care about your freedom?
It seems to be the new cool to say you're busy, swamped or otherwise not available for free time. Why is that?
It's cool to control your freedom
Behind the eyes of a writer™: A series, part five
It‘s obvious to me that creative words come from the heart and the soul of life, which when flowing freely come sporadically. It is what’s in the silence in between moments.
Learning how to live like a cat
I have wondered lately if it would be possible to live the life of one of my two indoor cats, and if I were to accomplish this endeavor, how relaxed life would be. As I rush around through my days full of schedules and kids, I often remind myself of the solace I will feel when I finally get to relax on the floor
Letting go of worries, enjoying your summer days, living your yoga
It's summertime... But just because the beach and sunshine beckon you to follow a free-spirited attitude, you can actually allow yourself to relive your yoga.
Walk through the vestibule: Sounds and sights as benchmarks
You have, I'm sure, had the experience at one time in your life of forgetting what you were doing as soon as you entered another room. Do doorways actually serve as event boundaries or is one's ability to remember linked to the environment in which a decision was created?
Feel yourself at peace: Coming into wholeness
What does that mean to come into wholeness? Imagine yourself at peace, in love and at one with your path in life, and then you will know the answer.
What words describe your chaotic mind today?
What words describe you in this moment?
Feeling like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and need to restart your morning?
The best morning routine: How it can set the stage for your ideal day
But you do wonder how you will get it all done, not necessarily on time but at all! And, if possible, you wonder how to remain sane in the process.
Is it words or sand?
Has the internet changed our communications with love or friendships? With the internet so easily accessible, it becomes the first mode of communication where words take on the greatest of meaning. Do we become lost and literally zapped by the electromagnetic waves of cyberspace and lose touch with all other sources of reality that generate powerful connections in the first place?
A stress free life
Do you wake in the morning and tell yourself that today will be the day that you will really take your health to another level? One idea to ponder is why you would wait. Any moment can be a time to set your intention. You might wait because you are too stressed at the idea of changing.
