The Black Magic That Could Be Keeping You Sick

“One word is like a spell, and humans use the word like black magicians, thoughtlessly putting spells on each other.” – Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements “You have multiple sclerosis.” That’s a spell. Anyone who tells you with certainty and authority that you will only get worse as time passes is a black magician. Even your doctor. Even your husband. Even Wikipedia. Black magic, all of it. Anyone who tells you that you need to be prepared for the wheelchair is a black magician. Anyone who tells you that you should expect to...

Don’t Run From the Pain, Move Toward It

Don’t Run From the Pain, Move Toward It

As I write this, I’m going on 24 hours with a headache that won’t quit. Drinking lots of water hasn’t worked. Sleeping hasn’t worked. Four Advil hasn’t worked. Distracting myself with television hasn’t worked. I think it’s detox from all the sub-par food I ate in the last couple weeks. I never can get away with it. This morning, when I woke up with the headache worse than the night before, I went into my closet to meditate (I like it dark and quiet). I had tried the entire night before to run from...

Limitless

Limitless

Yesterday I saw the new movie Limitless. It’s about this spectacular little clear pill, called NZT, which allows those who ingest it to access the full 100% capacity of their brain and become the perfect version of themselves. Apparently, humans only use about twenty percent of their brains (and based on some of the decisions I’ve made in my lifetime I wonder if I’ve even been using that much, but I digress). So Eddie Morra, the lead in the movie played by Bradley Cooper, stumbles upon the pills through a series of plot twists...

The Chair of Despair: Part 5 of Changing Your Beliefs

You see the chair in this picture? That’s the Chair of Despair. It was dubbed such by my friend Kiela, the owner of this aesthetically pleasing but unfortunate piece of furniture. At first it was just a chair like any other, and hadn’t yet earned its esteemed title. But then Kiela began to notice that whenever she would sit in this chair long enough, everything would begin to feel less okay, and she would find herself thinking negative, limiting thoughts. Then she noticed that when she and her partner Tara would have conversations about...

Caught in a Bad Romance: Part 4 of Changing Your Beliefs

I’m a terrible singer. So bad that my own mother winces and begs for mercy when, for example, she happens to be present when I decide I simply MUST sing Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” My own mother! If that’s not proof I’m a bad singer, I don’t know what is. I was not blessed, I believe, with good singing genes. I love to watch American Idol but I need Randy Jackson to tell me if someone was pitchy, because I have no clue, I can’t hear it. No one but my four-year-old daughter has ever...

The Healthiest Person You Know: Part 3 of Changing Your Beliefs

Who is the healthiest person you can think of? Take a minute to feel the frequency and the presence of that person. For me, that person is Sat Jivan Singh, the director of Kundalini Yoga East in New York City. He is, I would guess, in his sixties, though only his gray beard gives it away. There is, unlike others I know in their sixties, a palpable glow about him, a lightness and a vibrancy to his presence that makes me feel uplifted just being near him. He radiates happiness and joy, he is...

Sponges with Feet: Part 2 of Changing Your Beliefs

Where do our beliefs come from? The primary beliefs that we operate our lives by are acquired in our first six years. During that time, our brains are in a hypnogogic, dreamlike state, ideal for downloading massive amounts of information with no filters. In other words, from birth to age six, we’re sponges with feet. As Dr. Bruce Lipton put it in my interview with him, we’re born like iPods shipped from the factory – our hard drive is empty and we go about recording and storing everything we are exposed to. With no...

Dr. Wayne Dyer & Dr. Bruce Lipton

Yesterday I spoke about teleological thinking – I explained that the future you imagine for yourself has a direct impact on your experience of your life in the present moment – it effects how you feel, what you think and how you act. And, ultimately, the future you imagine for yourself is the direction you’re aiming your life, so be intentional when you do your imagining. If you want to understand the science behind how your thoughts effect your body, Bruce Lipton’s The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miraclesis...
