Bigger Love with Scott Stabile

Hi Friends, I wanted to send us all into the weekend with something uplifting, a little reflection and a lot of love. So I pulled out my book Enough as You Are , meditated on it for a few moments, and asked it to offer some words for this community. I flipped through the book with my eyes closed and landed on page 107. I felt like doing my part I felt like doing my part to change the world, so I s...

If you’re a yoga teacher, check out the opportunity at the end of this essay to join me and David at our Sardinia retreat at a significantly discounted rate in exchange for sharing your gifts. Hi Friends, I came across this video I recorded a couple years and felt it might be good to share it again right now. It helped me to feel a little more grounded when I rewatched it, and reminded me that no...

Hi Friends, This past Sunday I offered the sermon/reflection at the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor. I spoke about something I’ve been wrestling with for years now: how to stay rooted in my heart when I’m confronted with words and actions that feel ignorant or cruel—and how to do that without abandoning my integrity. If you’re struggling similarly, I hope this talk is helpfu...

Hi Friends, Tara Brach shared this parable on a recent podcast episode, and it feels perfect for right now—especially for those feeling powerless in the face of all this cruelty and insanity. Please give it a listen. Remember: You are more powerful than you know, in your capacity to influence hearts and minds. We are more powerful than we know, as a people united in love. Let’s stay rooted in our...

Our next online breathwork journey is this Wednesday, Jan 14th, at 8pm ET. Hi Friends, As we continue to experience and bear witness to the profound cruelty of this president, his administration, and the agencies they run, I am finding a modicum of peace in the understanding that the story is not over. We are in a really f*****g terrible part of it right now, and it’s nowhere near over. I hope the...

Order signed copies of my books Big Love and/or Enough as You Are for the holidays (US residents only). See below for details. Hi Friends, I recorded this video for any of us who tend to have a hard time during the holiday season, or who go into certain holidays or anniversaries with a sense of dread and the repeated assertion that this time of year always sucks . I hope this video helps you open...

Hi Friends, Maybe, like me often these days, you find yourself looking at our world in flames and asking some version of what’s the point of anything anymore? My mind loves to incapacitate me in the muck of who cares? and nothing matters anyway and its favorite, what’s the point? I’m not gonna pretend I have a definitive answer to that question, but I was up early the other morning, still-dark-out...

Hi Friends, I almost bailed on sharing this video because I sing in it, and few things scare me as much as singing in front of people. Not that anyone was there while I was singing, but still. But I felt a call to share a song with you that usually helps me feel a bit more grounded and at peace. And I also felt a call to do something that seriously triggers my fear of being judged, and to do it an...

Hi Friends, I’m having to be extra intentional about bringing myself back to my heart these days, so I recorded this meditation that does just that. I mean, I’m not gonna listen to it again, because I can’t meditate to my own voice, but I hope it helps you feel a bit more love-centered and peaceful within the midst of all this horror and chaos. Let me know how it resonates with you. This is not th...

Hi Friends, Another version of me would have recorded a video that felt more like… OH MY GOD EVERYONE WAKE THE F**K UP AND TAKE TO THE STREETS AND STOP SPENDING ANY MONEY AND BURN THIS F*****G HORRIFIC EMPIRE DOWN!! The video above isn’t reflective of that version, as, like so many of you, I don’t like to be told what to do. Unless I want (need) to be told what to do. So, my invitation to all of u...

Hi Friends, I’m sitting in bed and felt a nudge to do an audio recording to share with you all. I didn’t know what I would talk about, but before pressing record, the words My heart wants you to know that you’re whole came to me. So that’s where I began. I hope this serves your spirit in some way. Sweet dreams…Scott If this space is touching your heart in a good way, consider becoming a free or pa...
