The Quiet Courage Of Changing Your Mind

Quiet courage can look like hesitation. It can look like doubt. It can even look like weakness. But sometimes it’s the difference between walking away from a room full of “chaos” and discovering a room full of brilliance.

How I Stopped Being “My Wound”

I want to go back to the miracle of no longer enjoying blaming the past and identifying with my wound. Perhaps the exhaustion of being a victim for so many years left me immune, although saying this is unfair: I have worked throughout my life to stop being “my wound.”

The Age I Share With Gandhi

At seventy-eight, I carry more gratitude than certainty that nonviolence will prevail, yet I live with the unshakable conviction that violence, its alternative, must be resisted, especially during this tumultuous period in American history.

“Rainbow Boy” Is 100 Years Old

Though long out of print and now a work in the public domain, the wisdom in the stories from "Rainbow Boy" are as timeless and essential as the spirit of change itself. Read the back story of how a character in "Rainbow Boy" is the namesake for Spirit of Change Magazine.

Cats, Dogs And Horses All Have Chakras

The eighth chakra for animals is their ecosystem, their morphic resonance, their own field of energy connected to the bigger field. In many ways, the eighth chakra represents the home of instinct that we humans have dulled.

Beware The Pull Of The Past

Often, we dismiss our own early traumas as insignificant because we think that others had it so much worse. You need not measure your trauma against the trauma of others. Your experience, and the unfortunate imprinting that has remained ever since, is valid and worthy of your love and attention.

Awkward Awakening: Finding Your Way Home
