Many times when we are unable to stop managing and controlling things, its due to fear.  Fear of not having enough money, fear of losing the love or affection of a partner, fear of not aligning with our own ego’s expectations, or even just the fear of not being in control.  Fear is an extremely […]

So many people have noted lately that they are not listening to their meditations.  The desire is there, but life seems too busy right now.  I totally get it.  The trails are definitely calling to me, along with fun yoga workshops, new projects, out-of-town guests…the list goes on.  If you can’t fit your meditation in, […]

By now you have hopefully tried your walking meditation.  The goal is to assist you in becoming aware of, and part of your surroundings, not simply be a form passing through, lost in your own thoughts.  Even without a guided walking meditation, you can stay mindful when you are hiking, walking or biking by doing […]
