I’ve been listening to channeled wisdom recently. Whether or not you believe in it, the insight is clear. Bashar (bashar.org) says that you start with a dissatisfaction of where you are, a hunger and thirst for something more even though you don’t know what it is. On the other hand, if you are content, you… Read more »
There is a scar on my forearm that looks like a birds-eye view of Cuba. It is the result of rushing through a bedroom door while carrying two plant pots, slamming into the doorknob and I will spare you the details. When people asked me what happened I used to respond that I had an… Read more »
“Put a smile on your face. A smile sends healing energy throughout your body.” And so the meditation tape from Spring Forest Qigong begins. The first few times it felt out of place for me.

My unsubstantiated survey from visiting New York last week revealed that approximately three out of every five people I passed were connected to a device – listening to music, talking on the phone, intently texting or searching… Read more »
Did you ever notice how freaked-out middle-age people get when they can’t remember something? They act like it’s the beginning of the end, foreboding imminent and total demise, the first step into obliteration of life as we know it. It’s really not that bad, Folks. A few weeks ago I went to a movie with… Read more »
You might think that this is weird, but I am going to share it anyway. Are you ready? I do eye exercises. That’s right. Everyday before I get out of bed I exercise my eyes.
