Navel Projection for Connection
Whether we’re talking to someone on the street, teaching a yoga class, giving a speech, or chatting on Facebook, we can have more impact with what we’re transmitting if we learn to access our energy from the navel. I’ve been training yoga teachers for more than 10 years now, and projecting your voice as a […]
New Age Wedding: “I Do” to “I Am”
I attended a beautiful wedding recently; let’s say a sacred union for spiritual partnership, to be more correct. This is probably the first wedding I’ve attended, other than one at which I recently officiated, that the two souls were coming together with the conscious understanding of growing and evolving as individuals on a spiritual path.

Elevate instead of Medicate
Looking outside of ourselves to feel better is more common than white on rice. Before I came to yoga and meditation, that was my old operating system, complete with lots of software to train my focus outside of myself rather than looking inward for answers.

Come on Baby Light My Fire!…Maybe

I arrived to find my parents, after two difficult years of illness, looking so good, healthy and happy. […]
“Take Your Passion and Make It Happen”
A Facebook friend recently shared this on my timeline and I loved it! Now you might say: “that’s easy if you’re lucky, born into the right family, blah, blah, blah.” When we’re still caught up on the human realm of thinking that WILL be true. We are really limiting the universe in supporting our dreams […]
