Read MoreThe Way of Gratitude, Part 3: Emotions Like the Weather
Years back, my relationship to emotions was the same as my relationship to the weather is now. For example, I don’t really follow any weather forecast—for me, it’s quite easy to look through the window or just get out and be in the weather. I don’t really care if there are prospects of good or…
Read MoreRelationships, Pain, and Finding Our Deepest Selves
Famous American psychiatrist and author William Glasser says that how we negotiate and take care of the handful of extremely important relationships we will have in our lives, in a large way determines whether we’re happy or not.

Read MoreUnder Intense Stress? Do a Brainwave Entrainment Meditation Marathon
It’s the last day of a five-week Integral Recovery intensive and I feel really good about it. There was a lot of healing, a lot of practice, and people are at a different place from where they started. We did a lot of work: We meditated an hour every morning and 40 minutes every evening. Then we…
Read MoreEmotional Alchemy: Holding the Pain, Transmuting the Darkness
My contention is that if we really want to get in the evolutionary fast lane, we’ll dedicate one hour a day to our meditation practice. For most people, mornings are the best time—before the world gets going and our opportunity to sit quietly slips away. So many of us tend to make excuses and skip…
Read MoreUsing the Profound Meditation Program to Move Closer to Our Source
I was talking to a client the other day, and he said, “I lost my signal because I’m so far away from my source.” He was talking about his Wi-Fi source. I said, “That’s really deep.” He said, “Yeah, it is.” And we both wrote it down. If we lose our signal, our capacity to…
Read MoreBreaking our Addictive Patterns with the Profound Meditation Program
When we meditate with the Profound Meditation Program, we are consciously engaged in the process of evolving and healing our brains in an integral and holistic way. Unfortunately, this type of healing technology has not been available until very recently, and many of us are suffering from neurological deficits and emotional wounding based on our past…
Read MoreHow to Transform Your Brain, Starting Right Now
I’d like to share two very simple but very profound and powerful practices that can help us to develop deeper self-love and acceptance, and deeper empathy. 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 MoreFacing the Depths in Our Meditation Practice: Here Be Lions
Last Sunday, I was sitting doing my meditation, and I noticed how my ego really wanted to avoid going deep. There was a strong signal: No, no, no. Let’s stay on top. 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…
Read MoreThe Power of Brainwave Entrainment Meditation to Help Release Trauma
I have been kind of a spiritually-oriented person most of my life since I was about 11 years old when I had my first big opening. For many years, I struggled with the idea that I needed to have a meditative practice—a consistent interior practice. This was always very, very hard for me to maintain. Finally,…
Read More7 Insights into Obtaining Profound Emotional Freedom
Insight #1: Every emotional experience, including anxiety, has two components: The story which seems to give rise to the emotional experience. The energy behind that experience, the stream of sensation accompanying it. We often get so caught up in the story that is attached to our emotions, that we unwittingly magnify the energy behind such experiences, and in reality…
Read MoreTo a Friend in Need: Opening the Way for Inner Healing & Transformation
I understand that it can be hard seeing yourself as able to make a big shift, especially when everything in your past says you can’t. The way I’ve been able to make that shift is to realize that there is a reality much bigger than my past and my conditioned identity (I tend to refer to this…
Read MoreHow Mindfulness Helps Us Heal
What is mindfulness? From what I can see, mindfulness is when you begin to develop the witness or the observer self. In other words, instead of being locked inside your story, your trauma, or your ego, you begin to experience it from the outside as in, “Oh, isn’t this interesting?” If you can observe yourself from outside the mental and emotional…
Read MoreIntegration and Mindfulness: A Dynamic Duo
Something I find quite extraordinary about the Profound Meditation Program is the integrative power of the practice. In other words, you really get through your trauma and shadow issues. They come out during the process, and often they’re expressed not just in cognitive ideas but in bodily-felt sensations. This doesn’t necessarily happen with traditional meditation. Because the Profound Meditation Program is…
Read MoreHope at the End of the Tunnel
I was recently in the Bay Area to teach a class on Addiction Studies. When my class and I did our first meditation together, we sank into a very deep meditative state, one which we could all really feel. When you meditate in a group, there is a definite field of energy, a palpable coming…
