The body’s nervous system is greatly supported and awakened through touch. Being touched can even facilitate physical healing. In just 30 seconds worth of a hug, our brains naturally start to produce oxytocin. This is the ‘love drug’ you feel when you fall in love. In the beginning of life, most of us are held […]
What we do, how we speak, what we believe in, all have a profound effect on the mind’s well being and our self-esteem. When it comes to relationships, intimacy, and sensuality, these same (often unconscious) daily thoughts and actions affect how we feel about ourselves. Am I enough? Do I deserve love? How do I […]
I’m very happy to share with you an interview I did recently with a beautiful woman named Mary Lofgren. Mary is an award-winning, certified Feminine Embodiment Coach, and the host of the Come To Your Senses Podcast. Mary was quite an informed and savvy interviewer. She asked excellent questions and we both shared our experiences […]
Dear Ones, This month’s newsletter features s a video interview I did three weeks ago for Richard Dugan’s podcast, Tell Me Your Story. In this interview, I talk about the role tantra plays in sharing our light and bringing more love into the world. I really enjoyed speaking with Richard. He’s such a good interviewer—a […]

Slowing down is a practice I am endeavoring to develop. I try to not fill up every moment in my calendar. I intentionally leave space for the unknown, for unplanned time, such as to be in my garden and putter. I even mark in my calendar the phrase “no plans today”. I give myself time […]
Finding Flow & Balance in More Ways Than One When I practice Qi Gong I feel a delicious flow that balances my body, mind and spirit. It is like medicine for the soul. When I practice with a group, I feel a united field together that brings a tender simple joy of being. When I […]
Forced to Stop (and Rest) I was so looking forward to 12 magical days in Mexico at a Buddhist retreat, and wouldn’t you know it… five days into my trip, I got Covid! I would never have chosen to stay in a hotel room to find stillness and cleanse my mind and body. But life […]
Oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin — lovely chemicals that happen in our brain, encouraging us to pursue pleasure and connection.
