Listen to Letter fom my Ego about Achievement

I am having so much fun watching you achieve things in my name. You keep doing and doing and doing more, looking for that satisfaction and happiness that you think will come. But it’s oh so temporary, isn’t it? I just love that roller coaster ride of emotions you go through. Happy and high for a bit, and then poof! It’s gone and you’re down craving that next accomplishment.

It’s so much fun watching you actually identify with your accomplishments and depend on them to make you happy! Read More→

How You Feel is Your Responsibility

“I was driving along and some idiot cut me off! Did that make me angry!”

Sound familiar? Have you ever felt exasperated at a person or situation and said something similar – without even thinking? If so, hooray for acknowledging how you feel – that’s great!

Why, though, are you putting the blame entirely on the other person for how you feel? How you feel is your choice and your responsibility. Putting the blame on the other person is a way of justifying your anger and making you feel right. It’s your ego’s way of dealing with its feeling of fear and powerlessness because something unforeseen and uncontrolled happened. Read More→

Manifesting is a Partnership

Barn WallI was out in country one day last autumn and walked by what at first glance was an old weathered barn. It didn’t particularly capture my interest at first. Barns don’t fascinate me. But I stayed and walked around it, determined not to let my initial negative impressions rule me.

So I started looking. Really looking. At all of what was there – even the little things. Then I started seeing. The barn wall was beautiful. Its lines and cracks were a roadmap of its life. And look here: a wonderful little blade of grass, weathered and dry, peaking out from the dark, old weathered wood of the barn wall, soaking up the sunshine! Read More→

Lessons from the Beach

Friday, September 30th, 2011

By Arlene Taveroff, PhD

Beaches are often known for their beautiful vistas, but often it’s the little things that catch my eye. One day in Hawaii, it was the little world of a rock, the edge of the ocean, and the sand. I was struck by how they interacted so intimately and so constantly with each other, yet each one had its own distinct identity.

The sand provided such a beautiful base and support for the rocks and the water. The water moved gracefully, washing away cares and cleansing all in its path. The sand didn’t try to be water and the water didn’t try to be sand. Read More→

Soar Like an Eagle

By Arlene Taveroff, PhD

Do you ever look up and wish you could fly? I read an adorable story recently about a baby eagle who somehow got separated from his mother and landed upon a chicken farm. He was cared for there and learned to act like chickens act – that’s all he knew, because that’s all he was ever taught. Then one day he saw a big eagle flying overhead and something inside him stirred. He had always felt that there was something different about him… Now he knew: he wanted to fly!

“Could I?” he wondered. “How do I do it? What if I fall? Why am I stuck here in this barnyard, instead of being up in those treetops?” Read More→
