The thing that I'm still really scared to talk about
I’ve gotten really really good at leaning head-on into uncomfortable conversations about race. But what I’m about to write scares the pants off of me. It’s something so fraught in my community that it’s something that we just don’t talk about, unless we know how the other person feels. And even then, we probably still don’t talk about it.
Irritable AF? You aren't alone. This can help.
I've heard from SO many of you that you're at the end of your limit, and then some. Your usual self-care routine just isn't cutting it, and you are far far away from being your best self.

The Truth About Why I Left My Meditation Community: 5 Ways To Avoid Spiritual Bypassing As A White Person
We were taught, by the old white man, that by meditating we are establishing ourselves in Being, in pure consciousness, which is preparing us to ‘perform action’ in the world. We aren’t renunciates; we are ‘householders’, meaning that we have families and jobs and we live out in the world. We were taught that just by expanding our own consciousness, we were expanding the consciousness of the world around us. As we ‘perform action’, any action, in the world, we are making it a better place. And I believe it, to a point. We’ve all encountered people who brighten up a room just by being in it. And conversely, we’ve all been around those people that suck the energy out of a room as soon as they enter.
This all worked for me. Until a year or two after my teacher training.
Until it all started to unravel.
All cooped up and needing something to read? I got your back.
Reading in the time of coronavirus… Does anyone have the mental energy to read?
We all handle pandemics in different ways (did you EVER think you’d read those words?), and sometimes the way we are handling it changes from minute to minute!
I’ve curated a list of my favorite spiritual books just for you, with links right to the amazon page (I’m not getting any kickbacks!). Some of them are directly related to the type of meditation that I teach, some are more general personal growth books, and some might not (at first glance) seem to be spiritual. But I define spiritual as anything that expands your consciousness and the way you see the world, so (for me) that includes topics such as anti-racism and feminism.
What's So Special About Conscious Health Meditation (and the REST Technique™)?
Forget the meditation stereotypes! Our philosophy about meditation is simple: it should be easy to do and quickly give you life-changing benefits. The technique for Conscious Health Meditation and the REST Technique is the same, with some minor differences to adapt to the learning format. All of courses use an effortless technique that does not require any focus, concentration or clearing of the mind. The technique triggers a physiologic effect in the brain and body.
