Here is a simple guide map for empowering you through healthy anger … 1. Notice when you are feeling anger. 2. Ask yourself: "Which of the '3 Purposes of Anger' is this?" (Has a boundary been violated; is a boundary about to be breached; is my soul calling me to grow?) 3. Notice any tendency in you to direct this anger inward or aggressively outward. Get yourself into your Observer Continue Reading
The ‘Map of Emotions’ – #12 – Acceptance
Acceptance is the end of suffering. It is the final stage in grieving. It is the readiness to move on. When we are in acceptance we are out of control - out of our attempt to dominate our own outcome. The energy field of acceptance - just like all of the human emotions on this 'map' - is far more vast than the word suggests. When we are in acceptance, we are in a state of trust. We are in a state of willingness to participate and do Continue Reading

Where Anger ‘Fits’ – Part One
Anger is a vibration - an emotional vibration. It exists - it arises and it falls away - on a continuum of emotional vibrations. Just like a sound - a pitch - in a song. Just like a light in the sky as the sun rises, burns and sets. I am about to guide you on a journey that you are familiar with yet unconscious of. In-so-doing you will come to recognize where anger 'fits' on the continuum of emotions - what spirals down beneath it Continue Reading
Cultivating Courage – The Practice – Part 1
I heard a few years ago – and this amazed me and ‘struck me between the eyes’, for it is so profoundly true – that the primary reason why people say ‘no’ to invitations that would nourish and inspire them is that they haven’t figured out how they can say ‘yes’. They haven’t figured out how it can work for them. Simply put, they need a map. They need to ‘see how it is possible’. They need a way-shower, someone to demonstrate or Continue Reading

Our ‘Canopy’
What is our highest agenda, as humans? What is your highest agenda, personally? If we are wound-oriented, our highest agenda can and will only be survival. When we are Divine, True-Self-oriented, our highest agenda is the greatest good of all. When we are caught in the pull of our wound orientation, we naturally focus on the survival of 'me'. This has led, over time, Continue Reading
Re-Awakening Our Ability to Vision
It was after my participation in the United Nations Earth Summit that I realized that we have lost (temporarily) our ability to 'Vision'. Somewhere along the path of humanity's development, we lost our spiritual ability to see alternate realities. We lost our ability to perceive possible futures. Without our ability to Vision, we have lost our map. We are continuing along a flowing river wherever it takes us Continue Reading
