For over 30 years, I have been meditating. For almost as many years, in workshops, consultations, friendly conversations, and writing, I have been encouraging, teaching, or leading people to meditate and create quiet times. During this time, the world has changed considerably, and so have I. My most important learning is: everyone is different.

We often hear it said that we should be grateful for the things that come into our lives. That an attitude of gratitude can move mountains and that it is important to thank the Universe for our daily bread, our clothes, our health and the other fine things that we are blessed with.

As the old Jewish proverb says, “when we smile the heart...

July 24th, 2006 ,Teenage rebellion can be a sign of health, especially in girls. In an essay contributed to Catching a Wave: Reclaiming Feminism for the 21st Century, Nancy Gruver has written that girls are understandably outraged by injustices. However, the process of socialization teaches girls to swallow their healthy anger. Unfortunately, then, the anger that could fuel needed change in our society is misspent.

People who age well are an inspiration—especially for me since I just turned 60.

Clint Eastwood is certainly a prime example. At 62-years-old, Mr. Eastwood won his first Oscar for the film, "Unforgiven". Then, as many film-making professionals believe, he only got stronger and better with age, going on a stunning run of creative successes.

Everyone is gathered for one purpose, to have a chance to be...

Before I came across the Hooponopono Org and the Zero Limits Live From Maui DVDs,  I had a lot of anxiety in my life. I was always fighting with these feelings but the resistance intensified the problem.  I just wanted to feel relief but in hindsight I was just making the problem worse. I needed to find some answers.
