Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): A really useful way to think about honesty is to view it in terms of acting, speaking, and relating congruently and in accord with what you're experiencing inside. And the things we experience inside include our feelings, opinions, thoughts, beliefs, the way we see the world, and our senses of things, including our intuition. Today, what we call transparency is being honest. Honesty is a willingness to expose your inner experience to someone

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): So during this time of year, in the fall, when it's time for a leaf to fall, the tree just allows it to fall away. The tree accepts that its time with the leaf has run its course. So everything in life, including the things in our own lives, has a life cycle, a life span. It's born, develops, matures, and completes itself. It completes its journey around the medicine wheel. It goes full circle around the wheel of life. And when something has

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): When you speak your truth, in essence, you're saying, “This is how I see it.” You're saying, "In this moment, this is how I see the world." Because your way of seeing things is totally unique to you. It's a unique perspective. No one else on the planet sees things exactly the same way you do. I mean, how could they? They've had different life experiences than you have. Your life experiences inform the way you see the world. So your view of t

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): My teacher used to say that clarity and confusion exist right in front of us at any given moment and that it's up to us to choose which of these we access. Do we choose a clear mind or do we choose a confused mind? They're both right here. And really, trusting yourself and self-doubt are the same way; they're both possibilities at any given moment. So it's really a choice. Do we choose to trust ourselves, or do we choose to doubt ourselves?

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): When relating to or connecting with other human beings, it can be very useful to understand levels of consciousness. Your level of consciousness is the way you see the world. In one sense, it's how much of the world you're able to see. Your level of consciousness determines your reality and your beliefs about the world. So as you grow spiritually, your level of consciousness expands. The world can look totally different from one level of con

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): Judgment is typically based on expecting someone to be other than who they are, or it could be expecting something or a situation to be other than it is. It's often wanting the person or situation to be more in line with how I need them to be or what I'm comfortable with. So when you notice yourself judging (and we all judge things, so we have to get over that). When we notice ourselves judging, it can be really useful to say, “Well, what wa

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): Lately, in my work with people, as my clients and I are identifying the things that limit their lives and prevent them from having the things that they most want in their lives, it seems to trace back to this limiting belief of “I'm not enough”. And when we carry this belief, we tend to create this maladaptive approach of accomplishing things to prove to the world, and ultimately ourselves, that we are enough. We think, "If I only can accomp

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): So I estimate that at least fifty percent of the new things I try just do not work. So that's fifty percent of the new things I try in my business. Fifty percent of the dates and social outings that I go on don't really go anywhere. Fifty percent of the new things I buy: the new things that I tried, the new books that I read, the new products, the new services that I try are not really worthwhile. Even fifty percent of the new jazz CDs that

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): Did you ever feel like Life was talking to you? And by Life, I mean, in terms of whatever your belief system is- it could be God, Spirit, Jesus, the universe, or your spirit guide. But something, some intelligent presence, whatever your beliefs are, is trying to get something across to you. They're trying to communicate and trying to say something to you. Perhaps you're walking down the street, and there's a couple talking, and they pass you

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): Our minds tend to construct a reality for us to experience life in. And then our mind imports the experience that we're in into that reality. So when we enter an experience, our mind immediately starts quickly micro-processing it and fitting what's going on into the constructs of our reality. So what it begins to say is, “This is how things are.” Or better yet, it might say, “This is how things are supposed to be. You guys are doing it wrong

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): I've been noticing lately that there's a natural flow to my life, and I've been noticing when I'm in it, and sometimes I'm outside of it. And what I've found to be true is that when we're in our flow, life will provide us with abundance, joy, and the experiences we're looking for. This includes the answer to our prayers, fulfillment of our intention, or the things that we want, and we're trying to create in our lives. Those things naturally
