Content. A state of being. Santosha is a Sanskrit word meaning contentment and one of the Niyamas in the 8 limbs of yoga. A simple concept in actuality, which is what makes it hard.

When the going gets tough, what do you do? What do most people do? This trail marker is where you might find yourself differentiating from “most people”. This trail marker might be a defining moment and the opportunity to get tougher. Taking a page from “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch, if our “tough” is like the wall he writes about, then it is …

When you become the observer, you are in the practice of meditation. It doesn’t require anything elaborate other than the choice to step into you. Chances are, even in a created quiet space, there is still a lot going on around us. This is the opportunity to be in that reality AND to allow the awareness to fall on what’s going on inside of us.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? We are the experiencer and what we experience is determined by our thoughts. The thoughts that we regularly entertain and hold onto become our reality. We can imprint them pretty deeply. This trail marker is a pretty introspective one, encouraging us to evaluate our…

Simple. And so worth stopping to listen. Your peace is inside of you. The “peaceful pause” is something I heard myself saying to friends when they shared all the “out of control” they were experiencing. The peace is the hum. It’s like a river. It has rhythm and a natural order. It exists always. It’s there for us when we pause. Enjoy your hum.…

Our limbic system is designed for our survival. Its job is to protect us from harm and keep us alive to live another day. But what happens when this survival system goes on high alert when a threat is perceived but in reality the event poses no threat to us at all? How does this biological mechanism fuel Sinat Chinam and how can we derail it?…

I added a singing bowl, which is a beautiful tool for mediation, but can sound scratchy while it’s also releasing a rising vibrational sound energy. When it starts to “sing” there is nothing like it, but like all good things (think of the lotus) it often comes out of dark places. Forgive my raw practice and enjoy the possibilities with me, even of …
