Mindfulness for People Who Are Too Busy to Meditate
I am not convinced there are people too busy to meditate. Still, I appreciate the ideas and recommendations offered in this post, Mindfulness for People Who Are Too Busy to Meditate. I firmly believe, through experience, that anyone who meditates on a daily basis will improve their efficiency at work, home, and life, creating more time rather than taking time from their day. If Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs, Celebrities, and Athletes have time to meditate, why do you believe that you don't?...
Providence Life Coach Dating Success Series – Conscious Coupling
Conscious coupling seems to be getting a lot of press these days; celebrities tend to make this sort of thing happen - Madonna at The Kabbalah Centre and Julia Roberts with Hindu are examples of when they speak openly about religion or spirituality. I am not sure why this happens, but it does. I have never seen celebrities as people I wanted to be like, at least not those in the entertainment industry. Growing up, many athletes gave their time to worthy causes that I looked up to for that reason in the 60's and 70's. I have never felt drawn to the fact that "so and so" said something means it is something important or of value. However, it does seem that Richard Gere's My Journey with Buddhism has really committed to the study and practice of Tibetan Buddhism without making it feel like a publicity stunt. I happened to be participating in the Kalachakra with The Dalai Llama back in 2000 with Richard Gere and other famous people present for the ten days of spiritual training. They all kept a low profile with no autographs or photos, just like everyone else receiving the training....
Overcoming Fear is Not as Easy as a Bumper Sticker Slogan
I bumped into this article today by accident: Overcoming Fear is Not as Easy as a Bumper Sticker Slogan.

Overcoming fear can be paralyzing to some people in certain circumstances. Fear is the four-letter word that begins with "F," which can feel like a much dirtier word than its profane counterpart F**K. I remember hearing something annoying, cute, and comforting many years ago: FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real.

Providence Life Coach Dating Success Series – Mindful Dating
What is mindful dating? Mindful dating is bringing all of you to the present, including your Highest Self, to dating. Dating is often thought of as an exercise in wanting to convince someone you are good enough for them; what if we flipped this around to say, "I want to bring all of me to dating and see if we are going to be sensational down the road after we get to know each other, not just during the honeymoon phase of dating?" What would that feel like for you?

How Spirituality Protects the Brain Against Depression
I recently read this article posted in Psych Central titled How Spirituality Protects the Brain Against Depression. We have seen many demonstrations of meditation preventing depression relapse over the last twenty years or so, good to see it published in the JAMA Psychiatry. We know some of the benefits of Meditation in daily life include being present, focused, breathing, blood pressure, stress, attention span, organization, relationships, sex, intimacy, and ability to effectively manage life, work, and family, of course, the list is extensive, these are just a few that come to mind at the moment....
