Our internal dialogue is comprised of the many voices in our head. They distract, judge, compare, and appear to support us in solving problems. These voices take us out of the present, causing us to cycle old thoughts and memories about the past and worries or strategies around the future. Instea...
The ego was created to perceive and interact with the “physical” world – just like the eye was created to help us perceive and navigate the physical world. Neither the eye nor the ego is bad. They just have limited perception. If we relied on our eye to give us a complete version of reality...
Do you want to create something else? For instance, do you want to travel? Do you want a new job, a healthier body, or a loving relationship? This process applies to anything and everything.

Twice a year I make a pilgrimage to the Basilica in Mexico City to visit what is probably the most visited and revered spiritual site of the Americas.
I love the energy, faith, and beauty that vibrates from the people and the place. But this trip I had an experience that both completely sh...
In our frenetic digital world it is easy to become swamped with emails, texts, FaceBook, and voice messages, on top of whatever tasks we have to maintain our home, work, and social life.
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in a sea of communication-not-handled and to-do-tasks-unfinished wit...
