Are you feeling an excessive amount of fatigue, tension, irritability or straight up rage, especially after you’ve been interacting with others—in real life or social media?   That, my friends, is called Emotional Energy Pollution (EEP). It is a concept we teach about in Rebirthing-Breathwork, and it is imperative to your well-being that you know…

There is a contingent of folks who will eagerly acknowledge classism, but will deny racism, sexism, ableism, or any other “ism.”   Why?   Probably because they, or those close to them, have either personally experienced classism or they are more able to witness it in society, because it is more visible or tangible to…

Let me make this 1000% clear, if it is not already:   Our current world was INTENTIONALLY set up to be hierarchical.   As a large part of that, race, an artificial construct, was created to dehumanize, minimize, traumatize and often eradicate a large portion of humanity. This has been proven time and time again—through…

Do we have crystals in our brains? Why does my dog have to position themselves “just so” when they poop?   These are probably questions you have NEVER asked yourself. (Ok, maybe that second one)   Magnetoreception is the sense that allows organisms to perceive things like altitude and location. It’s what helps creatures with…

Once I saw the barrage of penises on the cigarette boxes, and I noticed the sudsy “S. E. X.” in the Drano, as it melted down the drain, I knew that my perspective on life would never be the same.   When I was in ninth grade, I did a speech on the subliminal use…

Collectively, it’s a tough time, right now. Lots of fear, frustration, grief and rage. So, here’s the deal:   Feel your feelings.   I know…it sounds obvious, but it’s not.   Most of us were taught to suppress our feelings. Even the most conscious parents or caretakers, inadvertently, soothed us in ways that may have…

The disinformation machine is hard at work, but there are things we can keep in mind to help us navigate the deception.   Recognize that the best lies include pieces of the truth. We resonate to the part that is true, especially if it confirms an already established belief. When this happens, we will be…

In a world full of “I told you so” and worse, is it a wonder why people double down on their position, even if they may *want* to change their mind?   Let’s face it, collectively we lean into shame and blame of ourselves and each other. If there are no clear pathways to course-correct—no…

Victim.   It’s a loaded word. Let’s talk about it from a broader perspective, because it is related to your life more than you may even know.   In my work, there are two ways I talk about this word:   Victimization and Victim Consciousness.   Victimization is when we experience an act that is…

Fear has a bad reputation.   So, let’s get clear about something. As I see it, fear is not an inherently negative emotion.   Fear, like all emotions, is simply a communication tool. It tells us that something does not feel okay. Fear seeks to protect us from a perceived danger.   But, here’s the…
