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

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): There's nothing more natural and more beautiful than allowing our inner light to shine, opening our heart, letting our beauty naturally express itself, and letting our essential nature just beam and flow and shine. And yet there's this tendency to dim our inner light. We tend to dim it to fit into the experiences and the relationships and the people, the situations that we're in. Sometimes it just seems like it makes more sense to just dim o

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): The first step to feeling a sense of belonging or feeling like you belong in a given experience is realizing that you belong there. Because at the most essential and deepest spiritual level, you belong wherever you are. Because spiritually, you're part of wherever you are. You're part of life. You're part of everything in life. So you're part of the experience you're in. So how could you not belong there? And in my tradition, we call this tu

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): Now I can almost guarantee that sometime in the last year, you've said to yourself that you wanted to awaken something new in your life. Now it could be a new relationship, or it could be adding romance and passion to your existing relationship. It could be a new friendship, a new spiritual practice, or a new yoga practice. But whatever it is, my question to you is, “Have you made room for it in your life?” Because the thing is, our minds do

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): We're conditioned to look outside of ourselves, to the world, to friends, to the internet for things that they’re just not able to provide. So, say we have an important decision to make. We're looking for direction or guidance for our lives. It could be: Do I stay in a relationship? Do I take this job? What do I do with my kid who's acting out? And we're looking for guidance in one form or another. What our tendency is, again, is to look out

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): Welcome to the Natural Way of Being Video Blog. This video is titled “Differentiating Power and Intent”. Many of us have a difficult time owning the power of our being, and yet we're encouraged to do so. These books we read, and workshops say own the power of your being, step into your power, step into your personal power, own the power of being a woman, don't give your power away, or claim your power back. Yet we still have this resistance

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): We need support, and we need conscious interaction to unfold the new, the spiritual, and the vulnerable elements of ourselves- the things we're awakening in our lives. And the good news is, there are people who are able to support these things. A truth that I've come to know on this matter is: in any given situation, the person that you're interacting with is either able to support you as you are, or they're not. And it's your job to know th

Video Blog Transcription: (00:00): The Grateful Dead, when describing some of their shows, would talk about this thing called an X-factor. They talked about it being this kind of intangible element that would happen at some of their shows that would take a normal performance and take it to a higher level. They talked about happening when the band became one with the audience and got in the same state of mind or consciousness. And yes, I personally did experience the Grateful
