Are Competition Commandos Controlling Your Brain?
July 30, 2012
By Guest Blogger
It’s safe to say that I’ve been known to have a bad attitude when it comes to meeting new people. And though I’ve become more open over time, my husband is still programmed to say, “Babe, I know you don’t like new people, but there is someone you really have to meet.” Bizarre, right? What’s up with that? I’m a happy, outgoing, easy with a smile, kind of a person. I like people. My job… Read More >
The Power of Doing Things That Scare You
July 2, 2012
By Guest Blogger
Recently I decided to take on a challenge that really scared me. What it was isn’t entirely important. What does matter is that I decided to do it. When I committed to this event I had coinciding feelings of extreme excitement and utter fear. Despite the pit in my stomach, I knew this was an important step for me to take to push me beyond my comfort zone. I believe in doing things that feel… Read More >
Three Ways to Celebrate Being Cancer-Free
May 31, 2012
By Guest Blogger
The day my sister, Jo, learned she had breast cancer was the scariest day of her life – and mine. Jo is more than just my sister; she is my best friend and confidant and has been by my side through thick and thin. The thought of losing her was impossible to comprehend. After months of intensive treatment and a mastectomy, she learned her cancer was in remission. When her doctor revealed the results of… Read More >
Rise and Shine: It’s Risk Time
April 17, 2012
By Guest Blogger
When was the last time you took a risk? I’m talking crazy-town nerves, a tribe of tummy butterflies and sweaty palms. Taking a risk can be exuberating and frightening all at the same time, but it may be just what you need to get your sexy back. Maybe you’ve been debating about relocating for a promotion or starting your dream business. Whatever the risk you’ve been holding back on, listen up, because I’m going to… Read More >
Love’s Rules to Living Life
March 26, 2012
By Guest Blogger
There will always come a moment in our lives where we ponder the question, “Why does this work for others and not for me?” This moment is often closely followed by our cry of, “What the heck!” Then we might try to force ourselves into fitting into a mold that we deem acceptable and appropriate. Who can we really blame for creating all these rules and regulations about how life should look? We can call out… Read More >
Follow Your Heart Instead of Your Head
March 23, 2012
By Tama Kieves
Want the best year of your life? Then follow a tour guide that’s on fire. Get out of your mind and into your passion. Get affected. It’s where you long to go and where you belong. This year, follow your heart – instead of your head. Most of us have been taught that it’s “safer and more practical” to listen to our heads instead of our hearts. I’ll tell you otherwise. The mind makes rational… Read More >
5 Tips For How To Be Spiritual About Your Money
March 7, 2012
By Guest Blogger
Money always has two frames of reference: the big, all-encompassing world and the individual, YOU-specific version. Neither version gives us the information we need to have a successful relationship with our money, because both shift the discussion to blame and doubt, rather than promote financial peace and balance. How much does it matter what is really going on “out there?” We might grumble, “the economy did this to us,” but that is an abstract villain… Read More >
Be Willing To Suck (At It)
February 27, 2012
By Guest Blogger
My father once told me that God gave me the talent to be an artist. Art was my passion. My dream was to get a Bachelor of Fine Arts in fiber arts. My work during those college years was presented in a show and is in a book about handmade felt. Oh, how I could get lost in that creative place for hours, days, weeks and months! But I gave up my desire to be… Read More >
Vairagya: The Practice of Letting Go
February 23, 2012
By Guest Blogger
“Vairagya” is the term in yoga philosophy that describes non-attachment. The term “yoga” itself comes from the verb “to yoke,” to be steadfast with something. This is different from clinging to things out of fear. Vairagya refers to our ability to let go of things, to leave them be, as well as to go for a challenge while renouncing the fruits of our labor. We need both action and inaction in our lives to remain… Read More >
Sex, Self-Esteem and the Goddess Cure
January 24, 2012
By Guest Blogger
We’ve all had those moments where our minds go on a scary adventure to fear. It’s the “fear mind” that resembles a monkey with rabies and tends to be rather abusive and pessimistic. It says things like: “You can’t do that”; “Who do you think you are?”; “Ewww, gross, you have cellulite on your ass when you move like that in bed!” It’s really like a mind bully, except that bully is a part of… Read More >
What You Can Expect On Your First Day of Chemotherapy
October 20, 2011
By Guest Blogger
I remember my first chemotherapy treatment like it was yesterday. I was only 16 years old, and I’d been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I’d had surgery to remove a lump on my neck, and chemo was the next step. Walking into that oncology office for the first time, I remember feeling scared and confused. I didn’t really understand what was happening. Looking back, I know now that’s what makes the first chemotherapy treatment so frightening—you… Read More >
It Takes Courage to Want More
July 26, 2011
By Tama Kieves
I wrote this letter to the part of myself that dared to listen to her pain more than her need for stability. That part helped me write my first book, “This Time I Dance! Creating the Work You Love,” and discover my best life. Years ago, I sat on a beach and considered ending my life. I didn’t see another choice. I was an honors graduate of Harvard Law School on partnership track at a… Read More >
Take a Fearless Inventory
July 15, 2011
By Terri Cole
I first learned the value of taking a Fearless Inventory three months before my college graduation. I had always been a big drinker from a big drinking family and since college is a time when even non-alcoholics drink alcoholically, my liver was pretty pickled by senior year. I had been seeing a therapist for about a year when she told me she thought my drinking was a problem, to which I defensively exclaimed, ”Well, then,… Read More >
You Have the Power to Choose
June 6, 2011
By Patricia Moreno
When I was 12 years old, I had a bone marrow disease in my left arm. The night before a possible amputation, my father sat by my side and took me through a guided visualization of an army of little soldiers marching into the infection. With picks and shovels, they cleaned it out, and one by one, we watched as they marched the infection out of my body. Except for my left arm being a… Read More >

By Brooke Melikidse Why do so many people wait until something hardcore has happened in their lives before a change is made? We just sail along, all easy breezy, until that one fateful day when we have a holy you-know-what moment! So many of us are walking on this road of life as if we were asleep. Not really noticing the beauty or potential around us. Our to-do lists of needless errands keep us so… Read More >

My genius is healing, helping, talking, writing, connecting, inspiring. I am a dreamer, a visionary. Let’s get the juices flowin’.

Flip Over and Float
March 31, 2011
By Terri Cole
When you read the words “flip over and float,” what image comes to your mind? What feeling comes into your body? Relief? Expansion? This concept of “flipping and floating” comes as a result of 14 years as a licensed psychotherapist and coach in New York City. I repeatedly witness clients sweating the small stuff like traffic or rude subway riders and then making the choice to let that constriction (which, by the way, is always… Read More >
Creating Crazy Sexy Miracles
March 11, 2011
By Gabrielle Bernstein
I believe in miracles. Period. Full stop. For some of you, that may be a pretty ballsy statement. For others, it may seem like an unrealistic pipe dream. Still others may want to believe in miracles but encounter resistance. Why have miracles become a cute concept we tweet about, or a possibility we turn to only when all hell breaks loose? Why aren’t miracles an everyday occurrence, a moment-to-moment thought, an expectation? A miracle is… Read More >
Sharing Your Diet and Lifestyle Changes
March 3, 2011
By Guest Blogger
by Kim Kleinman Everyone wants to change, but everyone fears it, too. Changing the status quo stretches us and the people around us, and like a rubber band, SNAP! Reaction! You probably have your own issues with change. Wouldn’t it be great if the people around you would help you get past the anxiety that comes with creating a new lifestyle? Of course it would. But what can you do if the people around you… Read More >
