Dear Listeners, If you’ve been thinking about making a pivot, this week seems to carry its own momentum -you can hitch a ride on. I say this because several patients have told me recently, ‘I can’t keep doing (X, Y, or Z) anymore. It’s not sustainable.” To add, in my opinion, they were making a healthy leap forward.What they’re describing isn’t a single behavior, but a pattern disruption— one that’s become too costly to maintain. The expense might be mental, emotional, physical, or even spiritual

Dear Listener, In recent weeks, several patients have confided a longing for clarity around purpose. I’d like to offer a few thoughts on this, beginning with an important clarification: purpose is not a single, fixed destination. It is not something one “arrives at” once and for all. Rather, purpose is fluid—changing with our roles, relationships, and seasons of life. The question What is my purpose? can feel spiritual or pragmatic—or both, depending on where one stands.Purpose takes different forms

Dear Listener, Since my last post, life has been fast, demanding, and full of change. Visitors, home repairs, and a caseload in which several patients required extra care all made it difficult to carve out time for myself—let alone for this Substack. By the time I reached my scheduled nine days off, I was already so depleted that recovery would have taken much longer.At the end of an unforgiving eight weeks, I somehow found the foresight to schedule a Panchakarma, a traditional Ayurvedic detox

Dear Listeners, I’ll be brief as I’m traveling, taking time to rest and reflect on the mid-point of the year. Today’s meditation emerged from the waters of the Mediterranean, which themselves have a story and history. Nonetheless, I found a place, a space, that embodied stillness, movement, darkness and light- translated into this meditation. Forgive the audio, I didnt have my better mic with me yet strove for a more layered expression of meditation. If possible, focus on the journey, the message,

Dear Listener, I’ll be brief today- I’m continuing to receive stories from patients regarding an unshakable fatigue. I decided to record a longer guided meditation to facilitate rejuvenation. Length is an experiment for me, lets see how this goes…. Next month I hope to share futher thoughts how we might adapt and grow despite the circumstances. As aways, take care of yourself and please feel free to share these if you think it may help someone. SL Beautiful tall wild grass This is a public

Dear Listeners, It is late in the day and later still in the month, and like many, I’ve been wading through the churn of work, side projects, and my own health. This personal backdrop—coupled with the larger whirlwind we all seem to be navigating—led to the creation of today’s meditation.In a world accelerating toward ever greater complexity, there is perhaps no more important act of self-preservation than the deliberate pause. While the concept of a “vacation” is appealing, its execution can be

Dear Listeners, It’s been a minute since my last post. I’ve been preoccupied with changes in my work, followed by other demands pitched in my direction. When one meaningful shift occurs (I moved offices), it has an uncanny way of rippling through other areas of life—work, relationships, devotion, and recreation. My wake and sleep cycles shifted, morning routines adjusted, family visits improved, meditation changed, and the number of in-office days increased.I’ve also seen these patterns mirrored in

Dear Listeners, When I think more change can’t be packed into a single week, this past week happens. It is not just people, its also environment, nations… it seems as if everything has some kind of new spin to it. Attempting to observe this movement in its totality—is mind boggling. So when I see patterns like this, even if its new (but somehow related to old ones) I suggest slowing down, quieting the mind, renewing the heart. As patterns tends to catch my eye- the one of late is on the theme of

Dear Listeners, When I think about December, I picture a triple-stuffed, thick, chewy sandwich—something like those double-stuffed cookies you can buy. The month presents itself as one thing but ends up delivering three, four, or even five times its usual payload. Needless to say, I’m glad to see it winding down, and I deeply appreciate the pause that seems to hover in the air right before the new year begins.New Year’s itself hasn’t been a major focus for me in a long time. Transitions—those

Dear Listener,It’s been a while since I last posted—life has been busy with projects to finish and loose ends to tie up. Like many, I’m working to balance the demands of developing a clinical practice, engaging in self-care, maintaining work-life harmony, and pursuing personal growth—all while keeping this space alive.Amid my own timeline, I’ve noticed a broader theme: Time itself feels as if it’s speeding up. Each day seems denser, packed with tasks that demand swift action and constant

Dear Listener, It’s been another fast-paced month, I’m making sure to get this in before the month ends. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on my garden, now drawing to a close as fall approaches and the cooler weather wraps us in the night sky. Every time I sink my fingers into my soil, I’m struck by the symbols it offers—lessons I’d like to share here.Each vegetable I grew had its own distinct needs, growth cycles, and responses to sun, rain and temperature. As the season progressed, almost every

Dear Listeners, It has been a while since I last wrote.I often see August as a pivotal moment, a time for reflection, recalibration, and preparation for the season ahead. It serves as a respite before the holiday rush and the onset of a new year. During this pause, I find it valuable to consider the past year's trajectory and our current moment in time. We are amidst profound changes on economic, political, cultural, and environmental fronts. In light of these multi-dimensional shifts, I encourage

Dear Listeners, Some thoughts on nature;Recently I had an opportunity to spend some time outside in a field for a day or two. There was a lot going on last week demanding my attention mostly related to work but otherwise personal. Everything felt heightened, as if the volume turned up a tiny bit — more. The soil, the plants, kept calling me to come out and take a look. Explore. Investigate. Learn. I was amazed to have the moments I did, to squat over the soil and dig. Just dig. Dig for the sake of

Dear Listeners, Where to begin? The degree to which life, culture, nations, technology are changing around us is expectantly high. The movement is fast. Somehow, amidst this change, it seems we collectively passed through a threshold into a new time. Why do I say this? Using a small (but not insignificant) example will be easier. Recently AI was integrated into a number of products I currently use (personally and professionally) without opting in or out. This became a moment of wondering - when

Dear Listeners, I was sitting at the gate of a LaGuardia flight when I heard, then felt, a rumble. I looked all around, to the left, the right, above and turned around to peer through the thirty foot wall of glass facing the runway searching for a mechanical cause. It felt like a giant subway passing underneath, one which generated greater oscillations rattling the walls and ceiling. I returned facing forward, thinking, thinking... and faced the guy sitting two seats down who was previously

Dear ListenersThe role of cold water exposure on mood, sleep and well being is a curious topic on my mind. Generally it is a method used for reducing inflammation post work out (for athletes), but also show some benefit on mood/energy/focus (increasing dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine) and supporting metabolism via activation of white fat (metabolically inactive) to beige and brown fat (metabolically active… which you want!).

Dear Listeners,You might have noticed things are still ramping up, not only pertaining to the election, but a host of other social and economic issues. Pressure builds, speed picks up, and peoples nerves are getting worn. In the midst of this, this month (and possibly quarter year) feels like a pivot. An opportunity to take action towards a novel direction which on one hand- may need a dose of courage and bold action… on the other hand- invites a softness desperately lacking in society.

Dear Listener, The past ten days had a surprising degree of social convulsions and behavioral earthquakes. There was an intensity about multiple sudden or rapid shifting behavior which left me (and a few others I checked in with) with a common response - move slowly and intentionally as you pass through this time. Over a two day period people around me reported multiple motor vehicle accidents, serious near misses, wreckless driving, and so on. Unrelated to driving, other reports came in regarding

Dear Listeners, Taking sides is ramping up in incomprehensible ways these days. Stories are trickling back about people being asked, directly, even minors (?!) regarding what side they are on, who they support or hate. Pick a topic, people are asked. It is extreme and I am not sure it is slowing down any time soon. Politics firmly established this pattern in the US and Europe, the war in Europe stepped it up last year, the war this month in the Middle East felt like a pile-on. Whats next? I don’t
