You Are Not Your Thoughts… Increase Your Clarity Now – 4 Minute Vlog
You are not your thoughts, you are not your mind. You are so much more than that.
You are a being of oneness and infinite possibilities – you, at your core, are divine. But during this time as a human, we have thoughts, and we must learn to live with them without too much confusion, strain, or frustration.
The story in the “Crest Jewel of Discrimination” by Shankara, which is part of my 285 Hour Masters of Wisdom & Meditation Teacher Training, speaks of the man who once mistook a rope for a snake. Check out my video above for the full tale of finding clarity.
This is a tale of finding clarity amongst the 60,000-80,000 thoughts you experience. Some are true, some are not. It is up to you to find clarity even during the most stressful or confusing situations. And this is what meditation can help you do.
Meditation allows your mind to become more discerning so you are less likely to become overwhelmed, confused, angry, sad, frustrated, or lost by thoughts alone. Meditation allows you to have more patience and compassion for yourself. Meditation allows you to really experience, from a place of true knowing, that you are not your thoughts.
So before you meditate, with this month’s free meditation, check out my video above about finding clarity even among overwhelming emotions.
Learning to sit with difficult emotions is thankfully a skill that can be learned. We don’t have to be rocked by emotions when any challenging situation comes our way (like the man in the rope story). And the best life tool to do that is meditation. Meditation can be challenging to start, but as you keep up a consistent practice, you will begin to reap the benefits in small, yet powerful ways. Now is the time to begin and create mastery in your life. You do not have to be highjacked by your thoughts anymore! – you are not your thoughts!
And if you ever want to go deeper, I am now offering in-person events again!!! woohoo! Come to the Sweetspot of the Universe, Carlsbad, California and learn to meditate, do yoga on the beach, and sit through intimate lessons with me and other spiritual warriors in the Meditation Nest.

Merge into Oneness & Connect with Your Divine Intuition Today – 15 Minute Guided Meditation
You are pure, whole and perfect. But sometimes, things can happen in our life that make us feel less than perfect – that’s adversity. And this is a natural part of life, but it’s still important to know how to work with these feelings.
But, adversity can be the seed of a new beginning or a chance to see ourselves and our lives from a fresh perspective. You don’t have to stay stuck in a place of feeling bad about yourself – don’t live in that mindset!
Yet, pain can be a powerful motivator. Sometimes in the wake of a tragedy, trauma, or unexpected disappointment, we can dig deep—deeper than we ever imagined—and step beyond our preconceived limitations.
When you merge into oneness, you can find additional support too. It’s the support that comes from within – deep within – from your most genuine self – which is pure and perfect and whole and enlightened.
This is the part of you that knows no separation from source – only knows love, compassion, forgiveness, and light – it only knows wholeness and sees all things as ONE. And you are this divinity. There is no true separation, only illusory.
In this 15 minute guided meditation, you will connect to that place within you and merge into oneness. There is nowhere else to be, nothing else to do, expect be here in this sacred, precious, present moment. And as you follow along in this meditation, as we settle in, breathe, and stay present, you may have a flicker of the oneness, or the divine, that rests within you.
We’ll use the ancient mantra ayam atma brahma – which means my soul and the Universal Spirit are one. Merge into oneness, connect to Source, and discover the perfection that rests within.

Who is your 1 archetype right now? – Choose your archetype to transform now
Hello Spiritual Warriors!! When you are just about to leap – into a job… a relationship… a business… a new way of being, doing, or thinking… sometimes we can feel like we don’t have the energy or confidence or courage or smarts to take us to the next level.
Sometimes it’s a little voice in our head telling us we can’t do it; sometimes it’s a person in our life shaking their head or smirking; and sometimes it’s the circumstances that seem so daunting, over-whelming, or over-powering. When we realize that we don’t have what it takes in the critical moment – that’s when can begin awakening archetypes.
What is an archetype?Basically, it’s the embodiment in another being, myth, or force of nature that contains the trait or characteristic we need to access in the critical moment. For example, an easy archetype to understand might be if you have to lift a heavy object – let’s say, moving big boxes from one room to another. In that moment – since you are not a body-builder- you would call upon someone who is! Not by dialing the phone… but by connecting to them inside your very body!!
So in this instance, you would awaken your inner Hulk, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Thor, Sumo Wrestler, or the Supreme Box Lifter that rests inside yourself. We’d call upon whomever we think of when we think of pure strength… we’d connect with that energy, and we’d move those boxes!!
Archetypes are states of information, energy and awareness that rest sleeping inside us. By awakening archetypes, we summon the power to find our next gear. Archetypes exist in the collective domain of the unmanifest and are available to each of us at any time. They exist as a god or goddess in embryo waiting to be born. And they can take the form or shape of whatever it is we are trying to summon.
So who is the archetype that you call upon, when you:
Need more strength? More courage? More grace? More compassion? More patience? More awareness? More resilience? More tenderness? More impeccability? More understanding? More determination? More creativity? More kindness? More forgiveness? More boldness? More wisdom?
We are awakening archetypes when we simply plant the seeds of our intentions & desires. If we do it on a regular basis, we get more skilled at it and the archetypal energies we summon start flowing to us more consistently.
So make your list today of your top ten archetypes for moving you through your life. Actually write them down and read the list a few times throughout the day. Feel free to delete archetypes that are no longer needed or who have worn out their usefulness; and feel fee to add new ones as new challenges, circumstances, and situations reveal themselves.
Within a few days, you’ll have them all at your fingertips – and whenever you need a little extra something – POW! – call upon them and see what happens.

Balance Your Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine Instantly – 15 Minute Guided Meditation
This Universe is created by both male and female energies. These two types of energies flow through everything that exists.
The dualistic nature of the Universe exists because of these energies which are opposite, yet compliment each other: Day and Night, Light and Dark, Expansion and Contraction, Hot and Cold, Thought and Emotion, Order and Chaos, Yin and Yang. These all at their core are different expressions of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energies.
The main differences between the two energies of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine:
Male Energy is direct, like a straight line, or an upward facing triangle. It projects outward, it secures and has a giving nature.
Female Energy is cyclic, like a circle, or sometimes identified with a downward facing triangle. It’s directed inward, it nurtures and has a receiving nature.
When they both work together, they dance and form a spiral, moving upwards, thriving and growing. The two sides of your body are reflecting the energies of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine: left being predominately feminine and the right side being more masculine.
The brain is in reverse, i.e the right eye is connected to the left side of your brain and the left eye is connected to the right side of your brain. Left side of the brain (male) is considered to be more logical and analytical whereas the right side (female) is considered more artistic and spiritual.
From these stems the fact that the left hemisphere of your brain is involved in the language and logical reasoning whereas the right hemisphere is involved in the emotional processing.
Let’s go a little deeper with this 15 minute guided meditation; you will leave this meditation feeling more whole and integrated!

Practice Letting Go! – Easy Tips for Releasing What No Longer Serves You in 3 Mins
Like the daily practice of meditation – the process of lessening our resistance includes surrendering, accepting, detaching, and then trusting that this moment is THE moment – bringing our awareness to the fluidity and evolutionary nature of life. This is what is means to practice letting go.
When we oppose what is flowing into us, we are saying NO to the universe. We are denying our most divine nature. When we resist, we suddenly put an end to infinite possibilities. And so of course it would follow that when we resist letting go, we are also denying the Universe.
There are many lessons (and growing pains) along the journey of our life, which may contribute to the underlying challenge that makes us reluctant to trust and welcome the unknown. But we can shift that non-nourishing mindset very easily and quickly by beginning the processing of ALLOWING ourselves to receive what’s being offered to us right now.
But if your hand is tightly clenched in a fist holding onto something, it’s incapable of receiving. When you resist letting go, there is only one outcome that you are carving into the moment. Simply by opening yourself to another outcome rather than one, life expands, new possibilities arise, and your choices become liberating as fear and constriction drift away. You can practice letting go just one thing to get this new momentum moving.
Miracles often appear when we least expect them…when we are innocent and vulnerable to the next moment. The magic of life surges into us when we remain open without expectation & are willing to listen without assuming that we know how the universe is supposed to unfold.
As the Seventh Dalai Lama wrote, “All things found in the world and beyond are illusions created by one’s own concepts. Grasping at them but further distorts perception. Give up grasping and see things as they are.”
So, this week, let’s give up grasping… let’s give up fear… let’s give up RESISTING… let’s truly practice LETTING GO! The best is yet to come.

Release Negative Energy and End Suffering- 20 Minute Guided Meditation
Compassion literally means “to suffer together with,” and is considered among the greatest of virtues. In the Buddhist tradition, suffering is an aspect of the human condition that should be recognized and can then be overcome. Compassion is illuminated in the The Four Noble Truths:
1. All existence is dukkha. “Dukkha” is suffering, anguish or pain, and The Buddha said that our lives are a struggle, and we do not find ultimate happiness or satisfaction in anything we experience. This is the problem of existence.
2. The truth of the origin of dukkha. It is humans’ natural tendency is to blame difficulties on things outside ourselves, but their actual root is found in the mind itself. Particularly, our tendency to grasp at things — or to push them away — places us fundamentally at odds with the way life really is.
3. The cessation of dukkha comes with the cessation of craving. Because we are the ultimate cause of our difficulties, we are also the solution. We cannot change the things that happen to us, but we can change our responses.
4. The path that leads to the cessation of dukkha. The Buddha teaches that we are ultimately responsible for ending our suffering, and he also taught methods through which we can change ourselves.

What inspires you? Solar plexus & heart chakra – 20 minute guided meditation
If you are currently finding yourself in a rut, or if you’re feeling stuck, or if you are not really sure what the next phase of your life will bring… this is the perfect meditation to start the flow of energy to discover what inspires you.
This meditation will be more energy based when focusing on what inspires you. We will not focus on particular areas of life like we do in my “5 Realms” meditation, but instead we will focus on two chakra energy centers: the solar plexus chakra and the heart chakra.
The solar plexus chakra, also known as the manipura chakra, is the the lock it down, get it done, follow through chakra within the body. It sits about 7 fingers above the navel and it is where the embers of your passion, drive, and ambition rest. The color is yellow and the vibration is RAAM. We’ll be chanting that a little later in this meditation to begin to wake up the telling signs of what inspires you.
Also, we will bring our attention to the heart chakra… your sweet, tender heart, also known as the anahata which means unstruck or untainted. The heart is your passion center, this is where you decide on what you will dedicate the energy of the solar plexus. What does your heart long for? What do you want to dedicate your time and energy to? The color of the heart is green and the vibration is HAAM or HUUM.
So, what inspires you? What sparks your passion? What holds your stars apart and your universe together? This is the time to dream BIG!!! We’re not holding back… we’re not playing small… throw caution to the wind!!!
This is your time… this is your now… this is your moment. Let’s dive into this week’s meditation, spark your passion and move boldly into the direction of what inspires you.

What to do when you feel depressed, lonely, anxious, or lost… 1 easy tool
“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” ―Oscar Wilde
We live each moment of our life through the ebb and flow of emotions. It’s almost as if each beat of our heart, and every breath we take, move us in one direction or another. We are a bundle of conditioned emotions that are primed to respond to the momentary assessment of whether our needs have been met or not.
When you feel depressed, lonely, anxious, or lost the natural reaction to that kind of emotional pain is to pull back, to run from it, hide from it, or push it away.
And we can pretty much do that with everything that comes at us in our life. Yet, if we spend our lives dodging every uncomfortable emotion that bubbles up, we stay in the same constricted place. Never moving forward. Never growing.
To live a bold, rich, growth-filled and ever-evolving life, you need to acknowledge and accept the thorns in life just as we celebrate the beauty in it. Even when you feel depressed, you can start the gentle process of sitting with your emotions as they arise.
Allow yourself to truly feel and experience life – the good and the bad!A rookie mistake for so many Spiritual Warriors on the path to one-ness is the desire to only want to see sunshine and rainbows – but in the process they deny their growth, they deny their humanity, they deny their potential. When you feel depressed, lonely, anxious, or lost, that is actually valuable information on where you have unmet needs.
The moment we restrict ourselves to only “good news” or only “pleasant” experiences is the moment we stop living.
To understand that in our brokenness and sadness, we embrace our wholeness… and the wholeness of life, is one of the most important lessons we as human beings can learn. When you feel depressed or lonely, this is part of the human experience. When you joyful and fulfilled, this is also part of the human experience.
When you feel depressed and you suppress that emotion, you’re likely to express it inadvertently in other avenues by being snide, sarcastic, snarky, retaliatory, biting, harsh, or downright mean to people who had nothing to do with your initial frustration.
Suppressing feelings is now scientifically proven to lead to poor memory, relationship challenges, and deeper health issues as our body is influenced so strongly by our subjective conscious experiences.
We can rise above the constriction by heightening our emotional intelligence, by learning to sit with our emotions and working toward “owning” these four capabilities:Identify how you are feeling in a given moment. Label your emotion. Notice what thoughts are producing certain emotions or feelings inside of you.Express the emotion as you remain present with it. Let the emotion to be seen, heard, and felt. Express the emotion in the way it is asking to be expressed. Release the emotion once it has been fully expressed. If you don’t know how you feel or why you feel a certain way, you will experience emotional overwhelm or confusion and won’t be able to communicate effectively, meet your needs, or resolve disagreements.
But if you can master your emotional intelligence, you will flow with less stress and make better decisions even when you feel depressed. And, the more successful you are at heightening these core skill sets, the happier and more fulfilled you will be.
Before I ever shared these teachings with others, I studied emotional healing for a decade under Dr. David Simon, & attended the Hoffman Institute, where I was taught to deconstruct my emotional blue print.
I then spent five years, reconstructing it, so could help others move through the same process. I began integrating these powerful teachings into my workshops, immersions, retreats, and Teacher Trainings where thousands have experienced emotional breakthroughs & stepped into their power.

Accepting this Moment & Releasing Resistance Right Now – 15 Minute Guided Meditation
I’ve talked about the concept of accepting this moment many times and in many different ways. Typically in the context of how our need for acceptance drives so many of our daily and life decisions. How we crave this acceptance – in the grandest ways and in the smaller moments.
Acceptance is a beautiful teaching with many different levels. It is the root and the foundation of many wisdom traditions including Buddhist compassion teachings, the ancient Hindu Law of Least Effort, and Christ Consciousness. But regardless of your orientation to these belief systems, you can find powerful, personal evolution by practicing accepting this moment – accepting that this moment is pure, whole and perfect, accepting yourselfm and accepting others.
A little bit more on the three core levels of acceptance:Accepting this Moment – accepting that this moment is pure, whole, and perfect. And every moment leading up to this moment was exactly the way it was meant to be. This moment is the magnificent culmination of all of your life choices; every experience that has woven itself in, around, and through you; and every one of the 31 million seconds that have ticked by in just this year alone! It couldn’t be any other way.Accepting Yourself – you are a divine being who is sealed in this human body for the span of a lifetime and that you have made choices and decisions throughout your life from your highest level of consciousness at the time. Even though there are choices you may regret or torture yourself about, they are carved in stone and we must accept them, forgive ourselves, and make better choices in the future.Accepting Others – accepting them for exactly who they are – not as we wish they would be. Allowing people’s differences, quirks, unique vibrations to just be and not necessarily fit into our box of how the world is supposed to be. Allowing others to be as they are.When you practice accepting the moment, you finally recognize that wherever you are, for you to evolve your life, improve your situation, or find deeper fulfillment you must own the present moment.
