Marianne Williamson at Celebrate Your Life

Marianne-Williamson-Scott-Desgrosseilliers-640-4

Hearing Marianne Williamson present at Celebrate Your Life demonstrated the power of being over the practice of doing.  When she is on the stage there is no doubt that she fully embodies what she teaches.  Some type of alchemy takes place in the listener, or at least it did for me.  I entered a state [...]

Energy Mandala

Energy-Mandala

I came across Keith’s incredible quantum fractal energy mandala work from his Facebook page. I immediately contacted him for a mandala for my IT consulting business, Low Entropy Systems (name inspired by Tom Campbell of My Big Toe).

So how did this mandala work? Do they work? What exactly are they supposed to [...]

Meditation-Awareness-In-Parenting-640-2

How to Meditate like a Marathon Runner

how-to-meditate-like-a-marathon-runner

I had an insight while running 5 miles in 30 degree Maine weather last weekend.  A meditation practice is similar to training for a marathon.

I’ve been meditating for 13 years and only ran one marathon.  That one marathon took up about 6 months of training and I don’t particularly love to run.  For some reason [...]

A Cheesy Yoga Video Led Me to Meditation

Bryan-Kest-Power-Yoga-Leads-to-Meditation

The more I know the more I realize I don’t know. I don’t tell you this to look like a Zen master. It is more a public admission. I love reading books on how to perform spiritual practices. But it is my personal experiments with what I read, even if the result [...]
