Start Your Day like a Roman Emperor
If I could invite just five historic figures to my dinner table, I would include the Roman Emperor/Philosopher, Marcus Aurelius. How fascinating it would be to hear him converse and argue his points with the other 4. Over 2000 years ago he kept a journal in which he laid out a 5 step #Mindfulness practice. Here's what #MarcusAurelius had to say about purposefully programming what you resonate with, about setting the tone for the day: "When you arise in the morning, think of w


Giving of Yourself When You Are Broken
The day I was to perform scenes from a play, I woke up with my soprano voice in baritone range. So for that performance my character just happened to have a really low, almost raspy voice. Nobody noticed there was anything wrong. I taught a class with the remains of a cold. We boosted the sound system and I asked for patience while I struggled with my voice. The audience was kind and the class went well. As an opera singer, when I'm having an "off" day the quality of the very

How changing your relationship with your story actually changes your story
When you change your relationship with your story, you change what you notice and focus on and new experiences "appear." You find your internal voice telling you to notice differently, and when you do your experience changes."

How is your resonance lighting up your connection with your world?
One of the ways we connect with each other is through the quality of our resonant interaction. We speak, we sing, we groan, we giggle, we hum. With the exception of those who are medically precluded from doing so, we make sound. We resonate to connect with each other and our experience. What we transmit with our resonance, the quality of what we send out influences the quality of our connection with others. No matter how much we mask it, our vocal resonance transmits tension,


What would happen if you actively sought out your transformation?
What new choices will you make if you actively engage in your transformation - seek it out- before being launched into action by intolerable discomfort, disillusionment, or despair? M. Scott Peck said: "The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or tru

What Shapes and Colors Your Internal Voice?
So much of the power of your Internal Voice comes from the stories you tell yourself about your experience. Those stories are colored and shaped by your viewpoint. My mother calls that viewpoint - attitude. It takes the courage of personal responsibility to entertain the idea that your Internal Voice, and therefore your story, is shaped by your attitude.

Are you speaking with your "True Voice?"
"You're not speaking with your True voice."
"That's not You speaking." How does that make you feel? One of many well-meaning teachers who wanted to encourage me to write that book, sing that song, or give that presentation spoke these words with great authority on a webinar. This was not the first time I had heard words bringing the truth of my voice into question. My gut clenched with an intense and cumulative internal rebellion. I knew it was time for a deep reassessment of


A new and different relationship with ego (4)
In the pursuit of expanded consciousness, many traditions have been squashing the ego, beating it to a pulp, shredding it, subjugating it, and in the end attempting to eliminate it in support of this story: that it is not possible to have "Cosmic Consciousness" and retain #ego. Does this make sense? If "Cosmic Consciousness" is all inclusive, then this approach to the ego is the antithesis of the desired end. I can hear the protests "But...but...but...I've spent my life in sp
