Mindful Reality Q&A: New YouTube Series
Hi All, I am introducing a new series on YouTube, which I will repost here on this Blog, that I am very excited about. In addition to writing books on this body of work I have developed, one of my favorite aspects of the practice has been coaching others. (You can find more information on […]
Anatomy of a Life: A Daily Mindful Reality Check
What do I mean by anatomy? According to one definition by Merriam-Webster, it is the structural makeup especially of an organism or any of its parts.

Don’t Be Fooled by Your Imaginings
