I want stuff, who doesn’t want stuff? Now let me be the first to say, my immediate “go to” when I want something, is my spiritual bag of tricks. I’ll chant, meditate, intend, call out, puja, homa, divine in, and use every tool, practice and resource I have out of thousands of hours of experience […]

the *must watch* video for all humanity
If all we ever did was what is explained in the video below, we’d unveil enlightenment in this lifetime. That’s a pretty big statement , isn’t it? You might have seen this Louis C.K. snippet passed around online in the last week or so. After he goes into a bit about why his children don’t […]

>> keep readingthe one thing to remember when you’re looking for bliss
The other week one of my dearests heard me say to someone else, “Oh, Ganesh? He’s the remover of obstacles.” He halted all convo. So quickly, in fact, that he startled me. Waved his arms up in the air, loudly and emphatically said, “WHOA. What?? Who is this??” (This man is a Manhattan CEO, btw.) […]

Who knew Fukushima from Frankfurt a week ago? I’m sure you are infinitely more well read and globally aware than I, but I was unfamiliar to the extent that I just had to Google the word again to make sure I was spelling it correctly here.

>If there’s anyone out there that doesn’t want to believe things are a changin’, they are in for a bit of a rude awakening.

Ultimate Love. Infinite love, and why living from the place of trying to hold that truth can be a treacherous, […]

>My dad caught me on either end of my LA conference. Going in, an 8am phone call as I was crawling the side streets of only marginally familiar Venice Beach, peeking for parking. I was distracted, annoyed, in my rental compact. Why is he calling me so early? He never calls me in the morning. […]

>“I want the one with the raspberry middle and the sprinkles.” My fingers poked to the bottom of the white baker’s box reaching for the aforementioned suspect. “Oh you found the good one, it has both,” an enlightened person replied to me, as half a dozen of us stood casually snacking around a Midtown West […]

>My mother twirled (she is 62, had two breast cancer surgeries this past year, I couldn’t remember the last time I saw her twirl… wait, have I ever seen her twirl?) round in a super cute, black, wooly Paddington bear-style duffle coat that looked new to me. It was six degrees outside, she was damn […]
