Manifest Deep & Powerful Love

What makes a lotus flower so unique is that it’s a little beautiful bright flower that sits atop the water with roots that travel deep into the muddy muck far below. Its symbolism represents the beauty that can grow out of the muck in our lives. What can it teach us? It turns out, quite a bit.

Lessons from the Lotus Flower

Does this ever happen to you? Perhaps if you work from home like I do much of the year, you also struggle with finding work/life balance when there isn’t a clear punch-in/punch-out clock. So, how does one find focus amid the Sirens of distraction?

3 Ways to Find Focus Amid Distraction

William Blake inevitably died leaving little money to his name, yet his flesh went to the grave while his best work continued to thrive. What can we learn from Blake about living our lives on purpose? Largely criticized and often viewed as mad, Blake produced what now has been pivotal work that shifted how society thinks. Through his work, he showed us the sublime: those divine aspects of life that shake one with terror while equally beholding the majesty of existence.

Seek Approval from the Inside

In her bestselling book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, author Marie Kondo asks us this question and it’s amazing to me just how often I’ve said “No” when asking myself it. And now, I challenge you to ask the same question: What adds spark to your life?

Add Spark to Your Life

The lights went up. I came on stage. And before I knew it, there I was bowing before the audience feeling healthy and happy with that high that all actors know comes after a performance. Exhale. The applause died down and with my first step off the stage, I transformed back into my terribly sick self. How could this be? I thought to myself. One minute, I’m sick. The other, I’m healthy, and then I’m sick again?!

What You Focus on Expands

Aristotle reminds us that “We are what we repeatedly do.” If what we do every day is work so hard that we lose sight of the present, then we enter what Carl Jung called enantiodromia: a.k.a. a mid-life crisis. That’s when one day, says Jung, after many years of working so hard that keeping busy becomes a habit, we lift our heads up from work and wonder where the years have gone.

Avoiding a Mid-Life Crisis

It’s entirely normal for us to run into some sort of wall in our lives, whether that’s in the work that we do or it’s in our personal lives. But how does one break out of a rut and push through personal limitations? In this talk, I offer five considerations.

Breaking Through Personal Limitations

What I’d like to explore with you today is what I learned in a Jungian analysis workshop I attended in New York and led by certified Jungian analysts, Morgan and Jenn Stebbins. Based on Carl Jung’s exploration of the unconscious, I’d like to leave you with three helpful steps to use the images that arise in your life as a spotlight to brighten your path on purpose.

Unconscious Images To Guide Your Path

What am I creating? Because you came into this world through creation, in the answer to that question lies your divine-inspired purpose. Your unique life. Your unique beauty. Your unique story. There’s something only you can create. To help break this down a bit, here are three simple steps to answering that question.

One Question for True Purpose

Personal writing has often been looked at as the writing to keep to ourselves. What I’d like us to consider is that when we share our personal narratives, we empower others to lift the masks we are so often coerced to wear. By sharing authenticity, we spawn authenticity.

Writing To Uncover The Self

It’s amazing how the world’s many cultures have defined the transition from childhood to adulthood. Whether it’s a tribal celebration around a bonfire that culminates in a post-pubescent circumcision or donning a long black robe w/ cap and tassel to receive a slip of paper that says “You Are Now Credible”, each culture has attempted to clearly define the transition from childhood to adulthood. Yet, there's an internal shift that needs to occur when we move from a socialized mind to a self-authoring mind. It's just a bit harder than we like to think.

Create Your Own Credibility

This talk focuses on building up an accountability system that keeps the creative engine churning. And churning. And churning. Because let’s face it: The truth is that real extraordinary work requires a team. Yes, you are strong on your own. But you are much stronger when you surround yourself with people who build you up.

5 Accountability Strings to Pull You Up

This talk explores two simple ways to find the story that drives your decision-making. Most likely unconscious, we all have an internal narrative that either pushes us to grow or holds us back from reaching our unlimited potential. The key is uncovering this story and then re-framing it to serve the unfurling of our greatest Self.

The Story You Tell Yourself

Compassion for the self moves one further down the hero’s journey. If we disagree with someone, if we feel hurt, or if we love someone and haven’t deeply shared it, we’re not being honest with ourselves. We’re not showing compassion to ourselves. We’re holding ourselves back from truly learning from the experience. And perhaps it’s these lessons that we sometimes need to open a door to the next stage in our journey.

Practicing Direct Compassion

In this talk, I share the other part of the story of Icarus that you likely have never heard. Why? That answer speaks to a larger theme in much of our cultural paradigm.

Growing Your Edge(s)

Practice letting go of any results and continue to focus on giving 110% of your effort. It’s a way of living where you give everything in life your best effort and then practice being content with the results.

Letting Go into the Unknown

“The marble not yet carved can hold the form of every thought the greatest artist has.” Let’s dissect Michelangelo’s words and talk a bit about creating art. I mean, what does creating art mean anyway? And why is it important that we all do it?

Are You Creating Art?

Sometimes the path you are currently on (the project you are working on instead of spending time with friends, the work you are doing instead of building your hobby, the children you are raising instead of vagabonding around the world, and so on) is your hero’s journey. It’s a beautiful path that fulfills you without the need to chase FOMO. Sometimes not giving into FOMO allows you to focus on the things that matter most.

The Fear of FOMO

In this 5-minute meditation, you're guided through a series of visualizations that you can practice on your own or use as a tool when leading a gathering where you want people to drop in and be deeply present with one another. When leading a gathering, spend a few moments afterward reflecting with one another on what showed up for each of you: i.e. what memory came to mind? Who showed up as your support community?

A Boost of Happiness

From a behavioral perspective, we’re now spending twenty years (or more) sitting in the classroom. This conditions us to be the receiver of knowledge instead of a creator. It’s why we feel safe in beta-mode or prototyping behind the walls of the classroom, yet terrified to share our work with the world to critique. Now, the real work begins.

Unlearning After College

This meditation is based on the work of psychologist Abraham Maslow and rooted in the ancient art of energizing the chakra centers. In it, you'll listen to the smooth vocal tones of Tibetan monks and manifest your unlimited potential through a series of empowering affirmations and visualizations.

Manifest Your Unlimited Potential

When we live from a place of gratitude, the struggles we face seem to part like clouds to reveal a warming sun. Designed for everyday use, this gratitude meditation quickly helps reset one's mindset to regain a solid foundation of being. Great for short-term results. Profound for a long-term perspective shift.

24/7 Gratitude

This meditation practice prepares the body, the mind, and the soul for deep and restful sleep. You’ll begin by slowing down the breath to relax the nervous system, call upon the wisdom of your spiritual counsel, and then activate the body’s subtle energy to build a protective cocoon for restful and rejuvenating sleep.

A Ritual For Rejuvenating Sleep

A guided practice to awaken the heart's intelligence. Rooted in developmental psychology, you'll be guided through a series of visualizations with time for contemplation and integration. This short but powerful practice expands one's consciousness to live fully & love deeply.

The Power of an Awakened Heart

This is a healing meditation designed to connect one to their infinite source of power. Through it, you'll explore humankind's capacity to source the heart's healing light and expand that light from the singular to the collective. It is a powerful practice on its own and even stronger when shared with a group.

A World-Wide Healing Meditation

This is an active meditation designed to bring grounded clarity to your day. You'll begin with some natural movement and then be guided through a series of visualizations. At first, you'll connect to the ground beneath your feet and then expand your presence into the sky above. This technique helps relieve anxiety, creates a heightened sense of drive, and connects you to your full-blooded presence: body, mind, and soul.

Rooted Below and Soaring Above

This practice includes visualizations and positive affirmations to help the next generation of men throughout the world be great fathers, courageous leaders, and to show up in the world with a compassionate integrated presence.

The Integrated Man

With nothing to lose, Leon filled up his motorcycle’s gas tank and set off from his L.A. flat east to New York. The clothes on his back, one tank of gas, a smile on his face: everything else he’d need would have to come through kindness. His goal? Ride across the world. No big deal, right? What he learned on that trip changed the course of his life forever.

The Kindness Project

Today, I’d like to talk about love. No, not the kind of love you’re thinking about. I’m talking about platonic love for the Self and others, and I learned it while on a retreat at Blue Spirit in Costa Rica.

You Are Not Alone

I began to see the physical body as a shell that carries us out through life to teach the soul a lesson or a series of lessons. I thought of my studies in anthropology and marketing and how we as a culture have come to behave in a way that favors the physical body and not the soul. We’ve come to think that a commodity will bring happiness when a physical object cannot feed the soul. The soul is only fed when the body follows one’s inspiration. By living inspired one is living “in spirit” and therein walking down its path on purpose.
