A few days ago I had the opportunity to talk with George Noory on Coast to Coast AM. What a fantastic experience. George is gracious and smart and the listeners bowled me over with their wisdom, curiosity and courage. This week, we’ll continue the conversation that we started there, here, with posts on intuition and [...]
I’m bossy. Have been since I was a kid. I like to direct things. I keep a clean house, tight schedule, and clear objectives. But, this isn’t necessarily something to brag about. Too often, when we are moving with a mission in mind, we move out of the moment and begin to micro-manage people and [...]
Ever had someone tell you that the procedure would “really hurt” or that the test was “really hard” or that the boss was “impossible to deal with” and then had those scenarios play out just as predicted? Turns out those early suggestions actually shaped the reality. In a journal article in Current Directions in Psychological [...]
Stop trying for balance. Life is more like a teeter-totter moving up and down rather than sitting placidly suspended in the middle. But, no matter your circumstance, no matter how intense life feels, you can center yourself and move through the challenge with grace and calm. Four ways to get centered: 1. Root yourself physically.

Over and over again, I’ve found that a balance of good nutrition can help people boost their [...]
“The crucial point is that we can relate with our life just as it is right now, not later when things improve. We can always connect with the openness of our minds. We can use our days to wake up rather than go back to sleep. Give this approach a try. Make a commitment to [...]
“People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains, at the huge waves of the seas, at the long course of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars, and yet they pass by themselves without wondering.” St. Augustine The mountains, the waves of the seas, [...]
One thing about flow – when you’re in it, it just feels good. Life just moves easier. You feel creative, inspired, energized; good things swarm into your life and when the difficulties appear the right people and things literally flow in to help you move through them.

I’m no longer a resolution setter. At least not in the traditional I-resolve-to-lose-32-pounds-by-next-weekend kind of way. These days, I pick an annual theme. And the theme for 2011 is Flow. I’m defining flow as: going with whatever comes my way – even if I’d rather micromanage and control every element including what my daughter wears [...]
