Sound Bathed and Refreshed!
Back from Sound Bath with Steve Gorn and Peter Blum at Unison Arts in New Paltz, New York. I feel cleansed, relaxed, and renewed. Every Sound Bath is different. We never know what will emerge because it’s completely spontaneous. But often, the sounds will surround us like an ocean. Other times, a melody emerges and […]
Move a Muscle, Change a Thought
Overcoming Performance Anxiety Tip #3: Move a Muscle, Change a Thought – A few days ago, I wrote about overcoming performance anxiety.

McGill Some years ago, I was consulting in a middle school in East Harlem, demonstrating active and engaging tools for learning. I was showing a class of 8th graders how to understand a concept, respect, […]

Here is a quick Excursion you can take into the fullness of your breath. It’s easy and portable too. Read it to yourself or listen to the audio version, Take […]
No one ever steps in the same river twice
I was at a party last night and someone I had met years ago told me a story just as I was leaving. This is what he said: I am a writer. And years ago, I re-read all that I’d written and decided to burn all of it. I wondered, “what am I doing here?” […]
Ever Go in Circles? Take an Excursion…
Ever feel as if you go in circles? In fact, I’ve been going in circles trying to get this newsletter to you. I intended to have it ready to send two weeks ago! How did I get out of my stuck loop? I did something different. In this case, I stepped away from the computer […]
Pause and Listen to the Sounds Around You
As I enter this day gradually, I am listening to the sounds around me. At 5:15am, the cardinals nesting in the hedges wake me with their whistling calls as they care for the new lives they have brought into the world, soon to dart through my vision to astonish and delight me with brilliant streaks of […]
