Turning Stress, Stagnation, and Adversity into Fuel for Growth

https://youtu.be/0Q_2gHB6I5g   Being highly empathic has its challenges. I can’t help but see and feel what people are holding in their bodies, the stresses of daily life, trauma, other lived experiences, and their cognitive and emotional responses to it all. I can feel from people’s bodies when they’re smoking or drinking, especially if it’s heavy, or using other recreational drugs, [...]

Meeting Internal Resistance Head-On: Meditation as a Path to Presence, Power, and Understanding

https://youtu.be/06JPVvdlVSs   Many people who attempt to meditate find it a real struggle. Teachers across traditions have said as much for centuries—resistance isn’t new—but in our digital age it’s louder.

Strung Out on a Woman Who Truly Doesn’t Care About You

https://youtu.be/ckyZts38a6c   Relational dynamics vary widely across cultures — something I’ve witnessed firsthand after living for years among Native Americans and spending significant time in China, India, Sri Lanka, and beyond. Everywhere you go, relationships carry a mix of positive attributes and dysfunction. Some nurture closeness and stability, while others create confusion and pain. Here in the United States, I [...]
