Bigger Love with Scott Stabile

If you’d like to listen to this email, rather than read it, simply click on the audio above. Hi Friends, Tomorrow is my 51st birthday. I want to write that I don’t feel like I’m 51 but what does that even mean? Who’s decided what 51 feels like? Or 61? or 31? For a million different 51 year olds, there are a million different feelings. As for me, I think farts are as funny as I did when I was 16, a...

Hi Friends, Last night I remembered this story I read in Dr. Wayne Dyer’s book, The Power of Intention , and thought this would be a good moment to share it. If you’d rather hear me read it to you, just click on the audio above. Yes there are too many examples of humans treating other humans horrifically. And, there are many more stories of humans showering others with kindness, compassion and lov...

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...

The above recording is of me reading the essay below, if you prefer to absorb it that way. However you take it in, I hope it resonates. Hi Friends, I didn’t take the picture above but a few nights ago watched from my bedroom window a red sun set in the smokey skies of northern New Mexico. I was going to step outside to take it in but the air smelled like a campfire I didn’t want to breathe into my...

Hi Friends, This past Tuesday marked the inaugural Online Breath & Belonging gathering and it was so beautiful. And a reminder, yet again, that we are more powerful than we realize to create profound healing in our lives. The breath is such an extraordinary tool. I’m obsessed. I’ll be guiding these breathwork journeys live every Tuesday night via Zoom, and I really encourage you to check one out....

Hi Friends, I recorded this meditation a few years ago for Insight Timer and wanted to share it here. If you need some grounding, take ten minutes, close your eyes, and allow yourself to sink into the words and energy of this meditation. Allow yourself to sink into your heart. There is nothing that has served my life more profoundly than connecting to the energy of love alive within me. Love chang...

Hi Friends, The breathing exercise I share here is one of the most effective I’ve discovered to help me get grounded and centered, particularly if I’m feeling stressed or anxious. I’ll be guiding us through different breathing exercises as time passes, and would love to hear your favorites, too. Breakwork is one of the most powerful tools for moving energy, and it’s readily available and free. Wis...

Friends, The sound quality is far from perfect on this, and I was going to let that keep me from sharing it, but no. Perfection is a myth. My heart is present in this offering and my heart is what I’m here to share. I’m excited to play around with the different possibilities here on Substack. Especially excited about the audio features. I can’t promise I’ll ever give you perfect sound, but I promi...

I hadn’t intended for the above to sound like an ASMR recording, but it’s 3am so my voice was all a whisper. My thoughts connect to a short writing I’ve shared several times over the years: The harder I fight against my circumstances, the more I struggle to move beyond them. Wars create wars, externally and internally. I will accept my circumstances, breathe into the reality of my life, own it for...
