Self-love Means More Than Taking a Bath
July 9, 2012
By Guest Blogger
I work for a career-change guidance organization, helping folks who have perhaps taken a path that doesn’t suit them and instead nudging them toward something more innately ‘them’. I am also on my own path of personal realignment. Frequently I have seen this type of self-directed change take a fairly long time, with some resistance. Speaking for myself, after eking out my passions, what I’d like to do, what I’m drawn to, there’s always been… Read More >
Live Your Truth, Love Your Life
March 6, 2012
By Terri Cole
In my 15 years as a therapist in NYC and LA, the inability to communicate authentically and truthfully was one of the most common issues for clients. This leads to living “in-authentically” with low satisfaction and high frustration levels. More importantly, it is impossible to fulfill your dharma (life’s purpose) if you cannot access your authentic self. I have partnered with Ashley Turner, a rock star yoga psychologist and instructor in LA, who has also… Read More >

Your Friend, Anxiety
December 3, 2010
By Danielle LaPorte
Tummy trembles. Brain fuzz. That discombobulating feeling that you’re not quite sure what you should be doing, but you should be doing something to keep your act together. Anxiety. Sometimes it slips away with a few deep breaths, other times you need to beat it off with a stick or some little white pills. Naturally, we want to try to get as far away from anxiety as possible – which usually just results in us… Read More >
Action is the Antidote to Despair

By Zoe Weil You’re making all the right choices. You’re an organic locavore. Whenever possible, you bike, take public transportation, or walk instead of drive, and when you drive it’s a hybrid. You choose cruelty-free, toxin-free personal care products. You’re a member of a dozen different organizations all with missions you wholeheartedly support. Compact fluorescents? Of course. Bottled water? Never. Yoga and exercise? Regularly. A positive attitude? Absolutely. But perhaps you, like me, have those… Read More >
Self Trust: The First Secret to Success
May 3, 2010
By Guest Blogger
By Jen Louden I wish I could claim that title as my own, but it’s from the illustrious Ralph Waldo Emerson. It may seem strange to start a post about self-trust with someone else’s words, but trust also means knowing when someone else can say or do it better than you can yourself. Isn’t it amazingly weird that learning to trust ourselves actually makes us more able to take in useful guidance and learning? When… Read More >
Spiritual Intimacy

By Cora Poage “I just don’t know if Ben is spiritual enough for me.” I found myself saying this to a fellow Spiritual Psychology student last weekend regarding my partner of 8 years. “Or maybe he doesn’t go as deep in conversations or something. I just don’t feel like I am completely heard or seen by him. I don’t think we have much spiritual intimacy. It’s almost like we speak different languages about this stuff.”… Read More >
