What Do You See?
Where do you put your attention? What comes into your awareness and what gets filtered out? Thankfully, I am constantly reminded that when I run on autopilot and move through the world with less consciousness, I don’t really SEE things, I don’t experience the fullness of what is present. I instead spend more of my time running my own thoughts and habits as if that is what is real. Ha! So I say I am thankful that I am constantly reminded because I continually need reminding to come back to what is in the moment. An example – the other day, I was helping my friend move a couple of things to his new home. We were loading my car with fragile items and I asked him for...
Read MoreWhat If You Are Supposed to be Living a Different Life?
By that I don’t mean what if you were supposed to be an astronaut instead of an accountant or you were supposed to live in Hawaii instead of Longmont (although that could happen too!). I mean that deep, nagging sense that something is off or not working or what you thought you wanted turns out not to bring you what you long for.

In this moment, you have access to the aliveness that underlies all you are and all you do. There is a deep intelligence in that aliveness. It is the life of the universe. And it is here now. Some skills required to be here in the moment: Mindfulness...
Read MoreWorking with the Past and Future through the Present
We all have things and people from our past that continue to influence us strongly. Some we like and some we don’t. Some we aren’t consciously aware of. Some we can never be aware of in a usual conscious way because they happened before our brains were developed enough to store that kind of information (but the information was stored in other parts of our brain and body). It can be really important to explore these and have a sense of what is there. Sometimes we need to tell our stories (especially if we never have before). But we can also tend to get stuck here. And that gets us nowhere. It is in the present moment that we are able to actually process...
