A Spiritual Journey of Healing
A Spiritual Journey of Healing The following 10 part story is my personal account, rather a documentation, of the transformation I experienced during the year 2012. I had been blindly practicing Present Moment Awareness, picked up a daily yoga habit, and without a direct intention I metamorphosed from a “functioning-cripple” into an extremely Spiritually-in-tune being.…

Emergence See?
What if we could shift our perspective on emergence? A seemingly present moment emergency, could possibly be a present moment emergence, see? This photo is difficult to see, but take notice of the statue emerging and exalting. A molting cicada, complete transformation. Seventeen years underground. In just one moment the cicada melts from it’s ugly, brown skin,…

All is Perfect
Yeah, so I kinda had one of these moments today. PSHHHHHHHHhhhwwwaaaaaaaaa! My brain broke loose, and expanded, and when it did, the constant tension I hold in my neck and head let go, and washed away. It all started when I awoke this morning with the realization that I had three of the same dream.…

Rumbles & Ripples: What We Create Within, Affects Without
All too often, anymore these days, the situation that is presented in front of me is a complete dichotomy: yin and yang. For example, recently on a very stormy evening, just three people showed up to my class. One wanted a very relaxing yoga session. The other two wanted balls to the wall action. It wasn’t…

Witnessing From Within
I wrote this post on April 1st 2015, which was at a very busy time for me, so I never got around to posting it. Once I wrote a new post today, I realized, I should probably put this one up! For particular reasons, I didn’t think I’d release this post, but I feel as…

Cloud Space
Since this has happened twice, I feel as if it is worth some documentation. I’ve been fortunate enough to witness many a great meditation moments: from receiving images to assist me on my path, to accessing waves of ultimate bliss. In the past month, I’ve had a recurring experience: About a half hour into my meditation,…

Passing Insights from a Meditation Master
Sometimes it seems as if life can be likened to a big game of chess: Pieces being moved about, each with their own attributes and capabilities. Forces from above, calculating: which way, and when to move. Black, white. Moving ahead, falling back. Last night I spent an hour with a Meditation Master, for the fourth time in the past…

Awaken the Guru Within
“Ask, and you shall receive.” Standing just ten feet within the front door of the nearest “New Age” store, I was amazed to find exactly what I wanted. Even though I did not come to this store for them, there they were, all four of them: Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar Giri, and Paramahansa Yogananda. Just the other week…
