Mindful Eating: Turning Meals into Meditative Practice
Eating has become something we do in passing, a necessity squeezed between tasks. But food is more than fuel; it’s a sensory experience, an invitation to connect with the present moment. Mindful eating transforms an ordinary meal into meditation, not by changing what you eat, but by shifting how you eat.

Eyes Closed, World Open: How Inner Vision Enhances Awareness
Our eyes are constantly open, scanning, processing, and filtering streams of information. Yet there is another form of awareness—quieter, subtler, but just as profound—that begins the moment we close our eyes. This shift from outer vision to inner vision does not shrink our world; it expands it. When the visual field goes dark, other senses awaken, and the mind finds new space to notice what was always present but often overlooked.

But what if your commute wasn’t wasted time? What if those minutes—or even hours—could become a daily practice of mindfulness?

From Restlessness to Calm: Using Subtle Movements to Ground Yourself
Restlessness often feels like the enemy of meditation. You sit down, hoping for calm, and instead find your body twitching, your foot tapping, or your fingers itching to do something—anything—other than be still. For many, this agitation leads to frustration and the belief that they’re “bad at meditating.” But what if restlessness isn’t something to fight? What if, instead, it’s an invitation to move—gently, subtly, and with awareness?

Timeless Living: How the Longest-Lived People Teach Us to Thrive

Opinion: Macho man Bruce Willis and my dad share shrinking brain disease
My dad died several years ago of frontotemporal degeneration, the same brain disease that afflicts Bruce Willis. It’s a cruel exit that can tear apart families. For years my mother, brother, and myself argued over what was wrong with my dad. He had trouble moving around but mostly he was very nasty and aggressive. This can be a hallmark trait of frontotemporal degeneration in the initial stages. Near the end the patient forgets how to talk, and even swallow.
