BREATHE: Inhale Possibility, Exhale What No Longer Serves
“Let go of the battle. Breathe quietly and let it be.
Let your body relax and your heart soften.
Open to whatever you experience without fighting.”
~~ Jack Kornfield
Greetings to all my precious people!!
You’ve been breathing your entire life, yet most of us have never truly learned how to breathe. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Lungs are called the “Master of Qi” and they govern not just oxygen exchange, but the very life force that animates everything we do. During Autumn’s Metal season, when Lung energy is at its peak, we’re offered a profound invitation: to transform breathing from an unconscious survival mechanism into conscious medicine.
The Revolution in a Single Breath
This isn’t about perfecting some complicated technique. It’s about remembering that every inhale is an opportunity to draw in possibility, and every exhale is a chance to release what’s ready to go. At midlife, when we finally have the wisdom to know the difference, conscious breathing becomes one of our most potent tools for transformation.
DISCERNMENT: The Art of Knowing What to Keep
“Love and compassion don’t at all have to make us weak,
or lead us to losing discernment and vision.
We just have to learn how to find them.
And see, in truth, what they bring us.”
– Sharon Salzberg
Greetings to all my precious people!!
There’s a moment every Autumn when you walk outside and suddenly know – not think, but know – that everything has shifted. The light falls differently. The air carries both the fullness of harvest and the promise of release. Your body recognizes what your mind might miss: this is the season of discernment, when Nature herself demonstrates the profound art of knowing what to keep and what to let go.
CONTRIBUTION: Your Healing is a Gift to the World
“The meaning of life is to find your gift.
The purpose of life is to give it away.”
~~ Pablo Picasso
Greetings to all my precious people!!
We’ve journeyed together through kindness as embodied healing, awakened to kindfulness as warm-hearted presence, and discovered how gratitude alchemizes into grace. This week, we explore the profound truth that many of you have been feeling: your healing journey was never just about you.
Every moment you chose curiosity over judgment, optimism over cynicism, awareness over denial, courage over comfort—you weren’t just healing yourself. You were preparing to become medicine for the world.
This is the week we explore CONTRIBUTION—not as depletion or obligation, but as the natural flowering of a life lived with authentic intention. continue reading
AWAKEN: The Kindfulness Revolution
“Awakening is not changing who you are,
but discarding who you are not.”
~~ Deepak Chopra
Last week, we explored how KINDNESS becomes the living expression of your healing journey—the bridge between your inner transformation and the healing our world desperately needs. This week, we’re diving deeper into a revolutionary practice that’s changing how we think about both mindfulness and kindness: Kindfulness.
But first, let me ask you something: When you practice mindfulness, do you ever feel like you’re observing your life from a distance? Like you’re watching the movie of your experience rather than fully participating in it?
If so, you’re not alone. And you’re about to discover why. continue reading
Kindness is Good Medicine
“Constant kindness can accomplish much.
As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding,
mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.”
~~ Albert Schweitzer
KINDNESS: The Science of Living Your Healing Out Loud
Greetings to all my precious people!!
As we complete our journey through the C.O.A.C.H. Method—from Curiosity through Hope & Healing—many of you have asked: “What’s next? How do I live this transformation in the world?”
The answer has been whispering itself to me for weeks, and this morning it became clear: KINDNESS.
Not the passive, people-pleasing version we’ve been taught. Not the “be nice” conditioning that asks us to diminish ourselves. But kindness as a radical act of embodied healing—the living expression of everything you’ve discovered about yourself through curiosity, optimism, awareness, courage, hope, and healing.
This is kindness as medicine. Kindness as revolution. Kindness as the bridge between your inner transformation and the healing our world desperately needs. continue reading
