For those who can’t, won’t or don’t meditate
I counsel people to bring mindfulness into daily life. In addition to taking mindful walks, or creating a mindfulness practice that is tied to daily tasks such as folding laundry or doing the dishes, I also offer tips for making sleep and dreams into a mindfulness practice.
Are your creative juices flowing?
Inspired by the delights of summer, here are a few suggestions for keeping those creative juices flowing … whether you’re a writer, a dreamer, or both!
Writing down dreams: A transformational journey
We are natural storytellers, as evidenced by our endlessly creative dreaming mind. I want writers to know that they have a rich source of inspiration, guidance, and a font of creativity flowing inside them and they can access it through increased awareness of their dreams.
Happy Matriarch’s Day!
Whether you are the mother of children, the mother of ideas, a nurturer of animals or of communities–I’m wishing you a meaningful Mother’s Day.

What might I have learned if I’d committed my full attention and my open heart to what was being offered?
Wishing on a Dream
Sometimes I’m stunned silly by the call and response between the lines I set down in my journal and the responses that light up my consciousness when I close my eyes. My hopelessness was soothed by a series of vignettes that literally enlivened me.
What If I Can’t Become Lucid?
While the classic definition of lucid dreaming is to know you are dreaming while you are dreaming, there are many degrees of lucidity—both awake and dreaming.
What do you mean I can wake up in my dreams?
There’s nothing complicated about lucid dreaming, and you don’t need supplements or substances to achieve lucidity. Because I practice and teach lucid dreaming as part of mindfulness, and as a way to explore consciousness, I teach a simple, natural approach.
So, You Have Questions About Lucid Dreaming. You’re Not Alone.
