Famous People Describe Why They Meditate, and Identify the #1 Misconception About Meditation

Don Harris describes meditation and it’s challenges best, when he says, “As soon as you try this, your mind is going to go bonkers… You’re going to start thinking about what’s for lunch… “Do I need a haircut..? Where the gerbils run wild… Whatever… Blah… Blah… Blah… You’re just going to notice, “Oh… my mind’s going crazy right now.” That noticing is the key moment… is in fact, the victory. It’s…

Let’s Talk About Counselling

LET’S TALK ABOUT COUNSELLING If the idea of counselling makes you uncomfortable, you’re not alone. Most of my clients have said it took them a really long time to gather the courage to contact me.

Let’s Talk About Meditation If you’re like many people who have limited experience with meditation, chances are the word conjures up images of monks fasting in caves; tie-died hippies chanting ‘OM’ over vegan, organic, hemp-green smoothies; or yogis in white, getting all bendy at the knees in ways you can’t even imagine a body being capable of… But what is meditation? How do we do it? And is it…

What the Mandala Said…

Sometimes, I have crummy days. When I do, I try to find a way to go within – to connect with myself and uncover the truth of what is bothering me. Sometimes it’s easy. Sometimes it’s not. I do it anyway… Today, I didn’t feel like doing anything at all, so I pulled out one of my Mandala coloring books and started scribbling away. It was hard. I found myself being careless, and even wanting to…

Let’s Talk About Listening

Check out this month’s article in The Fishbowl Magazine! Let’s Talk About Listening One of the biggest challenges in any relationship is that of establishing effective communication.

On a call with a client today, this question arose: “How do I overcome long-standing habits & behaviors that are no longer working for me, but seem to be deeply embedded in my consciousness?”.

If You Could Change Your Life in Just 5 Minutes per Day for 21 Days, Would You Do It?

In March of 2015, a good friend and colleague challenged me to try something new for 21 days. After running the gamut of old standbys I knew I wouldn’t follow through on, I decided to try something completely different. Admittedly, I didn’t really expect much to come of the challenge I gave myself. Frankly, if I am to be completely honest – I would have to admit it was more of a token…

Enjoy.       The Whole Story I know not anger therefore I can not recognize calm.   I have not…
