Blue Sky Mind
What is meditation? What’s supposed to happen and how do you know when you’re doing it right? I’ve been meditating off and on for over twenty five years now. I started meditating through Aiki-Do. It was woven into the classes at the dojo and I just tried to do what I was told. I don’t […]
Petrol for the Soul #3
For those of you who are just joining us I’m offering some good fuel to carrry you through the week since in these times we are bombarded by unhealthy, negative media and input. And I believe when a conscious account is taken, most don’t give us life. The way I put it is that they […]
Accountability
It sure can seem like the world is falling down around us. And most people I meet in my life wear a facade. I do this, I learned it was important to be a nice guy, to be liked, so I learned to make it a secret that my life was self oriented. I set […]

Psychic Vibration, You get what you give.
My theory, which is based on things I’ve read (and of course FOX News), is that there are different levels of living our lives. Meaning there’s actually a scale of consciousness or way of being where there are higher and lower levels. We live life in alignment with this scale and as we grow and […]

So…having a healthy relationship with risk involves balance and paying attention. Like almost everything in life, we need to dance with risk. Another factor with […]
10ft. tall and Bulletproof
I spent a good part of my life acting like I had all my shit together. Every look, every action, everything was driven by a desire to look like I was powerful, strong and invincible. The truth is, I’m not. I’m tender, I’m weak and I’m needy. That’s right, I said the “N” word. I’m […]
Slowing Down
I listened to a debate one time where two men held different beliefs about things that were important to each of them. They were polite and respectful as they each explained their point of view and shared their perspective. Interesting thought, huh? What struck me and stayed with me from the entire discussion was what […]
Stability and the pathway forward.
I manage and control my tendencies towards emotional instability with exercise, food and meditation. I denied the reality that I struggled with having a stable mood, being happy and positive. When I finally admitted what was happening I could find solutions to what was troubling me. There was a time that I was depressed and […]
