Have you ever had (or known someone who had) a chronic and distressing physical condition? For people in this situation, it can be really difficult to figure out who, of the many, many healing and medical practitioners out there, can actually help them. It can take years of trying people who don’t work, and then […]
What is Your Relationship with the Heart of Your Work?
If you were to stand across from the heart of your work–your business, your vocation, your employment, your career–what do you think it would feel like?

“The Problem is Really in Your Neck” Huh?

But it’s an important question, not because it’s answerable (it isn’t, and it shouldn’t be), but because it points to the deeper heart-ache and desire for unconditional love at the heart of every family.

If I am of Infinite Value, How Come I Have So Many Money Problems?
Let’s get this straight: Yes, you are of infinite value. And, we don’t always feel that way. Not to mention even believe it. So much gets in the way of knowing this, and in a lot of ways, it doesn’t appear that life looks this way. We think in terms of prices, because we live […]
