Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you think humor is important when it comes to one's spiritual journey?
There is no benefit to being SERIOUS and TIGHTLY WOUND about your relationship with your religion or your higher self. It’s actually counter-productive.
In the search for one’s self, important qualities like WILLINGNESS, KINDNESS, COMPASSION and RESPECT are not enhanced by being SERIOUS. In fact seriousness is a force that would attempt to push these qualities away.
The more you can relax, the more those and other qualities will flow … and the better you’ll feel.
I provide some lighter takes on the overall experience to hopefully help people to loosen up a bit.
What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about trying out meditation?
It’s SOOO worth the effort! Meditation is the greatest gift and the most fantastic tool for growing we have as human beings.
Meditation allows people to plug in and wake up to who they really are.
The downside (which is really the upside) is that you see that most of the stuff you’re holding on to is not very helpful.
With the letting go of those unhelpful thoughts and images begins a new freedom.
What is a good approach for someone when they start meditating for the first time?
There’s no better comparison than saying it’s like going to the gym for the first time in your life.
When you begin to meditate, you’re working inner muscles you’ve never worked before.
The progress is slow, but steady. You’ll look back after a few months and will see big changes.
However, as is the case with going to the gym, you’ll encounter a lot of resistance.
The real challenge is to keep at it.
Try to create a habit of meditating every day, even if it’s only for 5 minutes.
In time, it will become completely natural to take time out for yourself every day.
