Apples, Capitalizing Words and Don Miguel Ruiz (Part 1)

October 6th, 2024 Join the Community → Good morning Reader. My heart is extremely raw from the record-breaking flooding that happened out in Western North Carolina last week. Houses and cars were shattered, public parks were decimated, countless businesses were destroyed, and dozens were killed. For context, Asheville (a city that was hit) is my home — it’s the place I go back to when I’m not abroad; where my community lives; where I feel most alive; where I plan to settle when I’m done with…

Phone Addiction (Part 2), Too Much Information (Part 2) and Matthew 7:5

September 22nd, 2024 Join the Community → Happy Sunday, Reader ☀️ I’m back in Charlotte with my family, and it feels great. I forget just how relaxing it is to be in a familiar place for longer than a few days. I’m soaking up every second. I figure you’ll get a kick out of this: I applied for Survivor, Season 49. Here’s my audition tape if you want to watch – let me know what you think. Also, if you somehow know one of the casting directors, please pass along my name lol. If not, send a…

Phone Addiction (Part 1), Too Much Information (Part 1) and Swami Vivekananda

September 15th, 2024 Join the Community → Happy Sunday, Reader ☀️ I’m back in North Carolina until October 23rd, which means enjoying cooler weather and changing colors with family and friends. From there I’ll fly to Thailand to teach yoga and meditation at a big Crypto conference. Over the last few months, I’ve steadily deepened my relationship with Pachamama (aka Planet Earth) and its numerous gifts. Although its obvious when I say it out loud, I rarely appreciated the fact that we are it –…

Breath Mastery, Presence in a Rush and Thorsten Wiesmann

September 8th, 2024 Join the Community → Happy Sunday, Reader ☀️ I watched an incredible interview with one of my favorite thinkers yesterday about his new book, Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks. In it, he discusses the history and impact of our current information landscape on our society and minds. With the Presidential election in full swing, his book couldn’t have come at a better time. In fact, being in San Fransisco, the heart of this algorithmic revolution, I can see very…

Buddha Face, Multi-Dimensional and Martha Beck

September 1st, 2024 Join the Community → Happy Sunday, Reader ☀️ I just landed in San Fransisco to visit some good friends and host a meditation workshop. While I’m feeling really excited for my time here, it comes at the expense of leaving my incredible community and home in San Diego. Bittersweet. As I was heading out, a friend asked me how I am able to emotionally handle all of the goodbyes I experience as a nomad. My reply was simple: nothing is a goodbye and everything is a goodbye….

Tree Hugging, Should’ing and Mother Teresa

August 25th, 2024 Join the Community → Happy Sunday, Reader ☀️ I’ve found myself being quite reflective this last week: listening to nostalgic music, looking through old photos, recounting previous adventures. Senior Prom (2014) Fraternity “Kegball” (2018) Van Life in Montana (2022) Incredible how real these memories seem. Even though I know them to be nothing more than ideas in my mind, they still conjure up incredible waves of feelings, as though they happened exactly in the way I remember…

Farmer’s Markets, Define God and Albert Einstein

August 18th, 2024 Join the Community → Happy Sunday, Reader ☀️ I only have two weeks left in San Diego, and am feeling really bittersweet about it. This area and community has truly been a home away from home. Someone move into the community I’m staying at, and we’ve quickly become best friends. Like me, he adheres to a Medical Medium diet, meaning we are able to cook, juice, cleanse and grocery shop together. Similarly, we share many of the same passions and interests, making our…

Cold Plunging, Boredom (Part 2) and Chögyam Trungpa

August 11th, 2024 Join the Community → Happy Sunday, Reader ☀️ I just completed yet another round of the Medical Medium 3-6-9 Advanced Cleanse. Day 9 = 48oz lemon water, 64oz celery juice, 40 oz cucumber + apple juice, blended melon, blended papaya, fresh orange juice, Chaga mushroom tea This was by far the easiest one yet. Normally I experience torrential food cravings, cry multiple times a day, and sleep 12 hours per night while detoxing. This time, however, I only experienced a few…

Speed Reading, Boredom (Part 1) and Penny Kelly

August 4th, 2024 Join the Community → Happy Sunday, Reader ☀️ I’ve been in Southern California for over two months, and have been actually enjoying the desert ecosystem more than I thought I would. I’ve been a North Carolina forest boy for my entire life, and had never taken the time to appreciate all that the beautiful dry heat, cacti and shrubs had to offer. I’ve found a new surge of energy and inspiration for completing my yoga tutorials. If you subscribe to me on YouTube, you’ll see that…
