Give Yourself Permission Part One Last June I found myself being drawn to experience what it was like to fast for an extended period of time. Over the course of the two days of juicing and the seven days of only water, I remembered some incredible insights about my relationship with my body. I say ‘remembered’ because I believe that all we are really doing in this life is remembering, […]

A few weeks ago I read a book titled “The Transformational Power of Fasting” by Stephen Buhner. The thread of ideas he wove around the tool of fasting were extremely thought provoking. The material presented can be confrontational to many people as it touches a deeply rooted relationship within us: our relationship with food. In an effort to dive within to uncover the essence of my connection with food, I […]

Shout it out…let it ring. Say what you got to say, or better yet sing. Shout it out…let it rise. You’re never going to wake up unless you open those eyes. Movement underground is what makes the earth shake so much, Movin’ around is gonna cause an earthquake. You may never know it if you’re just living on the surface, You gotta get your hands dirty, You gotta dig for your purpose. Not […]
After much internal conflict I finally overcame my excuses and went for my first podcast episode. I have been wanting to create a podcast for a while now and didn’t know where to start so I figured I should just do it and see where it goes. This is a free flow (no planning) session I recorded on Friday, April 27th about life, death, the universe, truth, paradox, community, and everything […]
