What are You Feeding Your Neurons?
I’ll bet you’re thinking that your neurons, aka brain cells, are in your brain. That would make sense, but that’s only partly true. We have many different types of neurons and they are located in the brain, spinal cord and the gut. These complex and magnificent cells are responsible for just about everything we do […]
It Takes a Village — a Community of Neurons
To be our animated best selves requires us to be in a graceful electro-chemical choreography. All of our actions, thoughts, desires, emotions and behaviors are physiologically the result of networked neural activity in the brain. One neuron’s “voice” alone does not result in a smile, a hug, or a memory; however that one neuron’s voice singing […]
Body Current® Intelligence
Did you know slow motion cuts through commotion? Simply by slowing our breathing, our movements or our thoughts, we slow down our brain waves, fuel the Prefrontal Cortex of the brain and regulate the flight, fight and freeze center of the limbic system creating a fertile ground for neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity, also known as brain […]

I started my working life as a filmmaker and video producer, (and somehow wound up as a software developer) but had always been fascinated by neuroscience and psychology – essentially anything brain related. For years I […]
The Tap Dancing Angel and the Tie Dyed Wizard
Two of my personal daily practices include: First: doing my best to try to NOT project my emotions on others. Second: although’ difficult, I try to have no attachments to a (my) desired outcome. I do have desired outcomes, but I try not to be attached to them. Pure LIMBIC, most unhealthy! I realized last weekend while […]
What does it mean to be the Warrior?
Where in your life are YOU the Warrior? Many of us feel like Warriors in our own way. For some of the amazing people I work with it’s because they have been Warriors in the literal battlefield or out on patrol as only soldiers and officers can relate to. Some of those I work with […]
A Path to Empowerment
There are many paths to personal empowerment. Some are spiritual, others mental or emotional; yet it’s the rare path that enfolds all aspects of our lives into the process. What if you could invite and engage your analytical self, or more left-brain tendencies, into the process of spiritual expansion without it hijacking each moment of […]
When Breathing in Love is Not Enough
Are you tired of pretending to be calm and compassionate when inside you really feel like kicking and screaming? In my life-long meditation training I was often told to “breathe in love”. I so desperately wanted to do this, but there was no manual other than to just do it. When one is in a […]
How Fear Hijacks the Mind
So many of us know what it feels like to be in the grip of fear, whether its financial, emotional, professional, or personal. You know intimately what your stomach feels like each time you have a bill you can’t pay. You are probably familiar with the pain in your chest when you think about that […]
