Fear is a pervasive aspect of life. All creatures feel it to some degree. It helps us avoid dangers in the world. But when that fear is overwhelming it can prevent us from living our lives to the fullest. During today’s meditation, I learned that I am still terrified from my past. In many of…

Spring is here and with it, nice weather and more time out in nature. Today I was able to do my meditation out in nature. My intention was simply to reconnect with myself and the earth. The birds were louder than ever before. The gentle breeze seemed more intense than I remember. The grass was…
