How Aware Are You? In our retreats we teach a way to use language, Perception Language, which helps to ground us in the present moment. Using Perception Language minimizes our tendency to become reactive or defensive. But, for those times when we do become reactive—when our “train has left the station”—we have recently incorporated another […]
There is a way of living that’s easier—smart living! It applies to our physical bodies, our emotional lives, our relationships and even the way we do our jobs. For many years I’ve struggled with a physical condition that prevents me from exerting myself or pushing myself too hard. If I do push too hard, I […]
Here’s the first secret: An ancient Pali language, the language that the Buddha spoke during his lifetime, was a “verbing” language. This way of speaking was unique in that it allowed one to stay in process, not fixing oneself or clinging to a static or permanent state, but being in motion, continuously […]

That’s what we are—a living conversation, reshaping our relationships and our world with every word we speak… This is a poem I wrote Thanksgiving day—giving thanks for the conversations we have within the Live Conscious community.
