Under Your Beliefs, What Do You Believe?The Science of Mindset

Under Your Beliefs, What Do You Believe?

The Science of Mindset

Every day, from dawn to dusk, we navigate a maze of mindsets—our own, and everyone else’s. Some we inherited. Some were sold to us by others—news cycles, social feeds, family patterns, cultural noise. Knowing what you believe, uncoupled from what others tell you to believe, may be the single most important act of health and well-being there is.

Are You an Otrovert?What Belonging Means and What It Doesn’t—A New Trio of Beings

Otroverts are not joiners. You won’t find them at book clubs, spin classes, PTA meetings, or chanting along with political tribes. It isn’t disdain—it’s that they can’t make sense of sacrificing a differentiated mind to the hive. Their strength lies in standing apart, free to think, create, and see clearly.

Find out if you are an otrovert.

The Self–Other Distinction—Relationships and Compassion That Heal Without Losing Yourself

This is a quick post reminding us that compassion isn’t about dissolving into someone else’s suffering until you forget where you end and they begin. That’s fusion, not love. Real compassion has backbone—it means you can stay steady in yourself and still keep your heart open. In relationships, this self–other distinction matters: when we collapse, we lose ourselves; when we bulldoze, we lose the other. The real work is creating space where two full selves can meet—two minds, two bodies, two sets of needs—without one swallowing the other whole.

What is RP, and is it Right for you?

What is RP, and Is It Right for You?

RP stands for Realization Process—a subtle, powerful approach to embodiment, healing, and awakening, developed by Dr. Judith Blackstone. It’s not just another technique; it’s a way of directly experiencing yourself from the inside out.

Unlike top-down methods that try to fix or analyze, RP gently guides you into the depth of your own being through nondual embodiment. It helps you uncover where you’ve armored, disconnected, or compensated—and offers a way to soften, release, and return to the grounded, spacious wholeness that’s always been there.

If you’re longing for a more authentic relationship with your body, your presence, and your life, RP may be exactly the shift you’ve been looking for.

Why is Change So Frightening?

Why is change so frightening? I have a few hunches. Most of us want change without uncertainty. Yet, we forget that to live is to lose, again and again—sometimes in small, barely perceptible ways, and sometimes all at once. Impermanence isn’t just a concept; it’s the atmosphere we breathe. But when we’re grounded in stillness, we’re not just flailing through change chaotically—we’re held. There is something in us, deeper than identity or circumstance, that doesn’t blink in the face of change. It doesn’t resist. It allows everything to change. And that movement through stillness becomes our strength.

Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board: A Morning Mantra for the World We’re In

Do you remember the childhood game we used to play at sleepovers?

“Light as a feather, stiff as a board….

light as a feather, stiff as a board…”

And somehow, mystically, ridiculously, against all logic, against every ounce of physics we thought we understood, we lifted them. Just like that. With just our fingertips.

What if that’s still possible?

What if, in this heavy world, we can still lift with a little mystery?

The Vagus Nerve vs. The Sympathetic Nervous System: Who’s Really in Charge? And Have We Been Missing the Point?

The Vagus Nerve vs. The Sympathetic Nervous System: Are We Missing the Point?

Everyone’s obsessed with vagal tone—cold plunges, breathwork, yoga—all in the name of relaxation. But what if the real issue isn’t calming down, but strengthening up? If your fight-or-flight system is weak and overreactive, no amount of deep breathing will save you from spiraling the moment life gets stressful.

Resilience isn’t about escaping into a parasympathetic bliss coma—it’s about building a nervous system that can handle intensity without breaking. Want to stop seesawing between burnout and collapse? Train your mind. Train your body. Train your attention.

Because true freedom isn’t about shutting down stress—it’s about standing steady in the storm. 🌿 Read more.

The Nervous System No One’s Explaining: Forget On or Off—It Thrives In the In-Between.

“The Nervous System No One’s Explaining: Forget On or Off—It Thrives In the In-Between.”

We’ve been told to “calm down,” to “activate the parasympathetic,” to breathe, meditate, and regulate. But what if we’re missing the bigger picture? Your nervous system isn’t just about switching between stress and relaxation—it’s about balance. The sympathetic system isn’t the enemy; it’s what keeps you sharp, engaged, and resilient. Instead of flipping between panic and shutdown, we need to train both systems to work together—to build a nervous system that can handle life without breaking.

Your nervous system isn’t a switch—it’s a dimmer. Let’s learn how to use it.
