Fear-Peddlers All Up In Your Grill? Here's What To Do

By Amanda Berlin

Where do you stand when the s--- hits the fan? When someone gets all up in your grill and is all, “Maybe it won’t work out, and then what? Where will you go, what will you do, who will you turn to? It can’t always work out. Maybe you’re in the percentage that ends up homeless on the street with a tire for a pillow, a grocery cart for a closet, and a cardboard box for your baby’s basinet.” When someone infiltrates your cone of zen and starts peddling fear, where do you go? The way I see it, we have two choices. Choice number 1: Get hooked and go down with the ship. They say a drowning person is so panicked that they actually...

Impregnated With Love

By Maggie Lyon

A couple of weeks ago in Paris my husband and I saw a swoon-inducing Marc Chagall exhibition at the Musee du Luxembourg. On the wall in one of the rooms there was a stunning quote of his that read something to the affect that nothing makes much sense in our lives unless everything we do, feel, and think in body, mind, and spirit is impregnated with love. How’s that for summing up the thrust and meaning of life? Pretty darn complete if you ask me! But how did Chagall arrive at knowing this laser-sharp truth so deeply in himself, so thoroughly in his bones, that at the end of his life he chose to communicate this eloquent teaching...

To My Father With Love

Dearest Dad: In twenty-eight years as father and son, we certainly have had our ups and downs! But I want you to know that I am truly grateful for every single moment. You are my greatest teacher and my greatest friend. I have read many books that say when we are born into these human bodies that we choose our families. I have only recently been able to accept this to be true. In fact, when I was young it was quite the opposite. The theme of my childhood was that nobody understood me—especially you. How could someone who was so different from me be responsible for raising me, teaching me, and supporting me? You were a “my way or...

What’s Wrong With Women’s Empowerment?

By Dana Theus

What’s wrong with women’s empowerment? Nothing and everything. At its best, women’s empowerment programs are an organizational (or social) recognition that cultural barriers diminish women’s chances to succeed and make an attempt to counteract those forces to give women a better chance. Why? Not just because it’s the right thing to do from a social justice point of view, but because – as Warren Buffet writes in this month’s Fortune Magazine – companies who do this instigate The Women Effect and gain the productivity and performance improvements that come along with leveraging 100% of your best and brightest instead of a lot less...

Are You Overspiritualizing?

By Gabrielle Bernstein

I often witness friends and clients overspiritualize their issues without dealing with them in an honest way. Some folks throw affirmations over their problems without getting to the root cause of their discomfort, while others spend hours talking about forgiveness with no real desire to let go. In this video I’ll help you get honest about how you handle your feelings and give you a concrete tool for truly moving through your issues.

8 Ways To Uplevel Your Menopause Mindset

By Anna Garrett

~ Thoughts are not facts, even the ones that tell you they are. One of my clients e-mailed me this week in quite a state. She was overwhelmed with what she needed to do, wasn’t sleeping and just flat out couldn’t find the juice to get herself going. She’d just spent 2 months away from home caring for her elderly mother-in-law and helping her husband’s family make decisions about what’s next for Mom. She wanted to know what she could do to feel better RIGHT-THIS-VERY-MINUTE! Here’s what I told her. “Put on your shoes and go outside. Take a walk. Give yourself a day of radical self-care.” So she did. Two naps, a head-clearing...

Body Talk, Acupuncture And The Healing Power Of Thoughts

I bumped up the weight on the weight machine, pushed down the footplate and did a couple sets. The next morning, my first step out of bed was met with shooting heel-to-toe pain. I iced, stretched, did arch massage and took ibuprofen. I used ace bandages, athletic tape and bought “comfort shoes” but my foot wouldn’t heal. My doctor took an x-ray, (which showed nothing), diagnosed plantar fasciitis and since I’d already done everything she knew to recommend; suggested a fat shot of cortisone... Read More.....

Purging The Green-Eyed Gremlin

Midge Greentree,

June 9, 2013

That little green-eyed gremlin has been at me for years. Maybe it wasn't always around – or maybe I just didn't notice it much – I think it might have just been more cleverly disguised when I was a kid. But as I've lived, from birthing babes to managing menopause to coveting the clarity of the crone, I've noticed that gremlin lurking, sometimes popping right into my mind, scaring the sweet bejesus right out of me. I've fed into it, allowed it to have its way with me, and now that gremlin... Read More.....

One Life At A Time

Leslee Horner,

June 8, 2013

"Transforming our world, through love, one life at a time." That's the motto at my Unity church. In Sunday school with the teens last week, my co-teacher reminded the class of that statement. It was important in the moment because we'd found ourselves in a discussion about what's wrong with the world. An eighth grader in class had expressed her concern with the younger kids who were more engaged with electronics than they were with the people and places around them. She said she wished...

Are You Threatened By Other People's Success?

Mike Robbins,

June 7, 2013

How do you feel when you see or hear about the success of others? While it may depend on who it is, what they’ve accomplished, and how you’re feeling about your own life at the time – if you’re anything like me, you may have some mixed emotions. I often find myself excited and inspired by the success of others, especially the people closest to me. However, at the same time, I sometimes notice it can bring up feelings of jealousy, insecurity, and inferiority as well – especially when someone... Read More.....

The Power Of Friendship

Marcia Wieder,

June 6, 2013

Friendship is one of the first types of exterior relationships we experience as a child and one of the most natural connections we have with other human beings. We discover so much about ourselves from our interactions with others, especially when formulating our own malleable personalities, expectations and framework for the kind of friendship(s) we desire for the rest of our lives. For me, a friendship was always about give and take. I notice some friendships are easier than others to... Read More.....
