Finding Courage in Fear & Strength in Vulnerability
Finding Courage in Fear & Strength in Vulnerability
This weekend I attended the March for Our Livesrally and march in San Francisco. The speakers I heard in person, as well as in the news media across the country, were brave and inspiring youth. I felt motivated by their voices and encouraged by their spirit. Many of them bravely shared their fear and boldly expressed their outrage about the series of mass shootings this country has experienced inâŠ

How To Re-Wild Your Natural Spirit
Exploring sports triggered violence and healthy ways to express aggression.
 This last weekend was the Super Bowl game that happens once a year in the U.S. Itâs a pretty big deal for many people, even those who arenât big football fans. It ends up being a time to get together and cheer on with some friends. Good fun.
But there comes a change when the game ends. Soon after the winning team isâŠ

Embraced By Your Self: Cultivating Inner Support in the Face of Isolation & Loneliness
Embraced By Your Self: Cultivating Inner Support in the Face of Isolation &Â Loneliness
I have lived in my apartment building for over 10 years now and I still donât know all my neighbors. My building only has eighteen units. People come and go â some faster than others. The idea of living among strangers in such a small building feels odd to me, but itâs a reality.
City living can be paradoxically lonely. Weâre all too busy to attend to every person we encounter, with our headsâŠ

Failure: The Other "F" Word
Failure: The Other âFâ Word
 There is a common four-letter âFâ word that is used a lot and I want to take away its power: FAIL. In our culture there is so much pressure put on us to succeed, that to fail has become the worst thing next to death. Failing has become a dirty secret that no one wants to admit, out of fear of being brandished with a scarlet F.
In a recent interview on Fresh Air, Terry Gross interviewed DavidâŠ

Why We Are Our Own Worst Critic: The Challenge of Self-Compassion
Do people ever say to you, âDonât be so hard on yourself,â and your inner voice replies with something like, âBut I donât know how not to,â or âIf Iâm not, who will? I wonât get very far in lifeâ?
One of my yoga teachers talks about the âLittle Manâ in our head who tells us how weâre not going to succeed. âYou canât balance on one leg for five seconds â you will fall! Youâre not good enough forâŠ

Turn and Face the Strange
Turn and Face the Strange
When was the last time a stranger struck up a meaningful conversation with you in public? Well, it happened to me last night at 10:30PM on a crowded bus, rumbling through the rainy streets of San Francisco.
I was on my way home from my weekly dance practice in Berkeley, when the young man sitting in front of me turned around and hesitantly asked me, âWhat are you passionate about?â It took me aâŠ

How do I transform myself?
Most days I walk to work through a small park with a patch of grass and a childrenâs playground. There are a few pine large pine trees there, shedding their needles and cones on the grass. One particular day on my walk I spotted a small immature, âclosedâ pine cone. I picked it up, enjoying how it looked and felt in my hand. I stuck it in my pocket and brought it to my office, where I put it onâŠ

Mindfulness in the Electronic Age: Part 2
Recently on This American Life, Ira Glass interviewed some teenage girls who gave him the rundown on how interacting with their friends on Instagram is crucial to their social standing. They basically explained that in their circles, if a friend did notrespond to a photo posted with the expected type of response (ie. âYouâre so pretty!â) AND within theâŠ

Mindfulness in the Electronic Age: Part 1
How many times have you checked your phone today? It seems that we have all become Pavlovâs dog and immediately respond to our phones alert bell, ding, beep, chirp or buzz without hesitation. Our brains salivate with each notification of a text or LIKE or HEART â and it feels good! Itâs nice to connect and engage with others around shared interests andâŠ

Empathy is Not Enough: Bringing Compassion and Kindness to Others
Buddhism is not only a religion, but a philosophy, a science and a psychology as well. The Buddha studied the nature of the mind very deeply, the way a biologist studies a cell on the nuclear level. Buddhist psychology is a complete science unto itself, of the nature of the mind and the ways in which the human mind creates suffering, joy and liberation within the mind. Buddhist psychologyâŠ

Joy as an Antidote to Jealousy
Daniel Rechtschaffen, a friend of mine from grad school, was interviewed on the local news this weekend and the circulating video clip of it came across my Facebook feed today. While watching my friend in his brief interview, I sensed a great joy growing inside of me and I was very excited for him! How wonderful that his work and passion is getting such recognition! â I thought.

The Invitation
It doesnât interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts longing.
It doesnât interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesnât interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you haveâŠ

Eating Habits & Digestion: About eight years ago I began to notice that my body was not digesting food in quite the same as it used to. I thought I was becoming lactose intolerant and after talking to friends, it sounded like a common occurrence among my peers in their late 20âČs â but why?
