Before the stillness the storm. Before peace the war. Before rebirth the destruction and the fire. Before forgiveness the pain of the violated.

Read MoreI have kept up my meditation practice for these past seven and a half years first of all because, neurologically, I didn’t want to slip back into life-threatening depression. But also, I just didn’t want to live my life according to my own ego conditioning, my traumas, and my often false stories about the reality…
Read MoreWith the introduction of VisionQuest, Eric Thompson, creator of iAwake Technology’s products, puts on squarely the mantle of what I believe is one of his true callings to our world: Digital Shaman.

With these practices, we gain a sense of being attuned not only to others, but also to ourselves. In fact, we find that there’s a reciprocal relationship: the more we become…
Read MoreI was thinking about our ambitions and our egos recently and how, as time goes by, as we struggle to do our inner work—our meditation, our contemplative practice, and our prayer work—the ego starts to shape itself into a functional, helpful form. Of course we know that the end purpose of all things is not…
Read MoreThe energy of the Golden Mean, is one of the key ingredients in iAwake Technologies’ new Energy Alchemy Series. This energy band has an interesting history for a number of reasons. One is that it turns up at all of the genuine spiritual pilgrimage sites, which are famous for people having profound, brief awakenings, or…

Let’s think about anything rather than surrendering into the depths. I’ve noticed the same thing with my students and clients, that oftentimes there’s a…
