On occasion, I’m asked how to tell the difference between ego and intuition. At first, the distinction can seem simple. Ego is often loud and repetitive, while intuition tends to arrive softly, offering its message once and allowing us to choose. Over time, we learn to recognize those intuitive pings. Yet as our consciousness expands, […]

For many, that which is hardest to face is the very thing asking for our attention. Resistance can be an indicator that true transformation is at hand; therefore, the ego may devise myriad ways to turn our attention elsewhere. When consciously seeking to accelerate your awakening, notice what you tend to shy away from. It

The ego often speaks as the negative voice within — the one that repeats fear, rehearses old wounds, and turns a passing concern into a full broadcast. It is like having a twenty-four-hour crisis channel running in the background, reporting every passing worry as breaking news. After enough repetition, the body begins to believe there

In the world of form, we are often met through labels. A simple question — What do you do? — becomes a doorway into definition. Words are offered, and almost instantly, they gather meaning in the mind of another. Associations form, impressions settle, and something vast is gently shaped into something known. And yet, there

Intuition or Fear? The Sacred Art of Discernment Read More »
I woke today thinking about how we are all just fumbling toward ecstasy — reaching, missing, learning, growing. Sometimes we collide with our own edges. Sometimes we surprise ourselves with how beautifully we show up. Love, in all its forms, seems to exist for this very purpose: it allows us to discover who we are
This morning I woke up to a conversation already in progress.Not me exactly — more like my mind, having a very animated discussion with my mother. For those of you who work with me, “Moe” was making an appearance. What made me smile was how obvious it was. The commentary. The tone. The familiar emotional
