Flirting With Enlightenment

We all feel a competition vibe from time to time with others or against ourselves . It’s natural to feel that way when our self-worth is feeling confronted, or when we are at a big transition point in our lives, unsure of what’s next; when we will “make it”.  A competition vibe can also rise up when we are feeling disharmony within ourselves and are unsure why it seems so easy for others to feel c...

Instead of seeing crisis energy as a negative and always focusing on what is going wrong, it can help to shift our mindset and see what learning and growing we can do from a mind, body, spirit level when a crisis arises. And if we are ready to actually listen, we may just connect with the truth behind the signs and messages we have been getting all along for healing and deeper self-understanding....

The ability to build and maintain healthy commitment energy with our relationships, work, personal life, and creative projects is no small feat.

The labels we use to describe ourselves and capabilities are part of what helps to define us - to a point. Labels can also entice us to compare and contrast ourselves with others, or judge our personal value based on how others choose to define themselves. Living in a time where labels are a huge part of how we identify each other and our role in society, it’s also becoming more and more challengi...

Fear can shape the way we see relationships, career options, opportunities for creative self expression, and most importantly, ourselves.

It’s not always easy to detach from old versions of the self. Many times we don’t even realize how many “selves” are still along for the ride, even years after we’ve outgrown that unique time in our life, and moved on. Or, so we thought. On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about how to mindfully detach from old versions of the self, while keeping the lessons an...

Change unfolds in many ways. It can be inspired by our heart as a desire to act, or placed upon us as a random act. There’s also change we make restlessly to distract ourselves from our current situation, or when we sense an emotion we don’t want to feel. Some might say change is change, and how we get there doesn’t matter, as long as we move through it. And in some ways that’s true. However, when...

In life we have rules - rules to follow, the ones we create, and ones we push on others. Yet, when it comes to following positive experiences and what brings us joy, embracing this as the simple, powerful tool has somehow become extremely complicated. Part of the reason rules win a lot of the time is because they are mind-focused and make things simpler. We trust the guidelines because they are “s...

On the latest episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I talk about flow and the power of a “higher will” at work behind the scenes of our life.
