Your body holds all the cues for a more aligned, easeful, peaceful and harmonious life. The purpose of life is to be in life, fully. Experiencing it, exploring it, expanding into it. So many of us are so far away from where we want to be - from feeling at our rock bottom "I can't go on like this" to "is this really it" and craving more. The fact is, the deeper connection and alignment you're seeking is guided and communicated through the body. We can't just do more, or do more of what other ...

On Pain and Pleasure.

So along comes the ego, who actually thinks it’s helping us and plays out the subconscious belief of “it does not get to be this good." You don’...
