Spirit + Science

When you combine the spiritual truth that you are perfectly and completely mentally healthy and habit-free (but for your temporary, habitual thinking) with the scientific finding that your habit is made up of thoughts that fade on their own, your habit begins to look far less powerful and stable than it has.When you consider the

When You Feel Lost – Part Two

Last week I told you about the woman who said she was LOST while in the middle of a lot of big energy. You can read Part One here. “I’m lost” tells the story that she should feel some way other than she does. Something else should be happening. These feelings are wrong and unwelcome. What comes

When You Feel Lost – Part One

If you are noticing that in this very moment you are most certainly not in touch with

The Fear of Failure is Actually Powerless

I hear people say they feel blocked. Stuck. Frozen in resistance. They want to act, but they can’t. A man in our LSBC graduate community wants to create his art, but every time he sits down to do it he feels a barrier of resistance. A woman in the new cohort of The Little School of Big Change

Doubt

My kids tested for their yellow belts in TaeKwonDo last weekend. They were nervous. I was nervous for them. The test is two hours long, with a lot of spectators and a lot of moves to remember. The Grand Master thought Willow was ready to break a board with her side kick. When they suggested it, Willow’s
