An Unexpected Gain

Here's something I have no logical explanation for. As you may have experienced yourself, when I hit 30, I started to notice I couldn't drink as much as I could when I was a teenager. Or rather, I could, but boy, it hurt like crazy the next day. So, I did some research, & figured out …

How Tense Is Your Face?

I'm the worst poker player in the world, but more on that later. The relationship between the physical & emotional is nothing new: If Charles Schulz figured it out in 1960, it's reasonable  to expect science to have filled in some gaps since then. In fact, there is now an entire specialization dedicated to the physiological …

Release Your Crap; Let The Awesome You Shine!

Releasing is a pretty straight forward concept: simply "let go" of any thoughts/feelings/problems you might have — just like dropping a handful of dirt to the floor. There are many releasing techniques available. They're relatively similar though, so I'll discuss the two key ones I've found so far. If you're interested, both of these stem from discoveries …

How To End Hate (& its nasty side effects)

Ever heard that saying "What you resist persists"? Ahh yes. I've noticed a few patterns in my life recently. In general, I've spent the last few years on a bit of a spiritual journey. Clearing out, well, pretty much everything. The downside to this is, as I've got clearer, what remaining crap is there has …

Healing the Subconscious

One of the toughest things about healing is this. Half the time we know something is wrong, but can't put our finger on exactly what the hell is going on. Why? Because our mind/ego has a delightful trait of trying to protect us by hiding things from our consciousness. This is why people get selective amnesia …

Turn Every Down Into An Up

I had a realisation recently. Fundamentally, the only person that has any control over how I feel is me. I choose how I feel. So, any time I feel bad due to someone else's actions, I know that's just a pain body reacting. That's just my ego, getting in the way, hurting me, wanting me to feel pain. …

The Pain Bodies Inside Us

Ever catch yourself doing something really stupid? You watch it happening in slow motion, yet can't seem to stop yourself going right ahead and doing it? Now, there's a ton of things that fit under the heading of 'stupid', ahh, and by goodness, I've done a lot of them. What I'd like to talk about today is …

How To Be Confident

Confidence is a funny thing. It comes in two flavours. How confident other people believe you are, & how confident you feel internally. The two are related, but not necessarily linked. E.g., it's quite common that other people see us as more confident than we may actually feel. So how do you go about becoming …

More On The Mirror Exercise

I talked about the mirror exercise a while back. I've used this quite a lot, & discovered a few extra tricks to really amp it up, which I thought I'd share. I Love You Paying yourself compliments is a good way to start, particularly if you're feeling down on yourself, but the single most powerful thing …

How To Stop Feeling Bad

Why do we feel bad? It's a good question. An easy answer would be "because bad stuff happens to us", but what for one person would be a disaster, someone else might barely notice. So what's actually going on here? In a nutshell? We beat ourselves up. That little voice in our heads giving us shit. Yep, …
