How Do You Handle Discord in Spiritual Community?

How Do You Follow Your Bliss and Pay Your Rent?
Dear Meli, You know how they say to follow your bliss? But what about paying your rent? I have a job that I don't like very much. But it pays really well. Also, I'm not sure what else I'd want to do. But I know that I don't feel fulfilled. The more I do my spiritual...
Can You Trust Your Inner Voice?
Dear Meli, You know how they always say to "Go with your gut?" Sometimes I'm not sure about this. I've gone with my gut, and afterwards realized that it was the spoiled child in me, wanting something that turned out not to be good for me. When I hear a voice inside...
How Do You Meditate If You’re Horrible at It?
Dear Meli, I'm a spiritual person. And by this I mean, I'm a professional spiritual person. I'm a minister. And I have a little problem. I can't meditate. I mean, I try, but I'm horrible at it. I'm always telling people about the benefits of meditation, because I know...

Dear Meli, I am in the health and beauty business. Because of this, or maybe just because of the way I am, I'm always giving people makeovers in my head. It's actually kinda fun, because I make them look way better. But I'm also aware, because I know that the...
Can Drugs Be Part of Your Spiritual Path?
Dear Meli, I am a fan of marijuana. I like it a lot! As a matter of fact, I use it almost every day. I am also a fan of spirituality. In fact, I meditate almost every day. I don't see a contradiction between my use of pot and my spiritual practice. Others, however,...
How Can You Connect with God Outside of Fundamentalism?
Dear Meli, I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian household. At about the age of twenty, I came out as gay. Needless to say, this did not go well with my family. Things are a lot better with them now, but I'm still struggling with my spirituality. For a long time,...
How Can You Let Go Of Spiritual Competition?
Dear Meli, I have a friend I have coffee with once a month or so. We recently started hanging out because she shares many of my interests – particularly spiritual interests. At first, it was really cool to talk with some who "got it." But lately I've started to feel...
Is Astrology Bad for You?
Dear Meli, A few years ago, I had a reading done by an astrologer. She was recommended to me by a friend of mind. Even though I was resistant to going, the reading was amazing. It was like the astrologer could read my mind – she knew so much about me without me having...
Can You Be Spiritual and Have Lots of Money?
Dear Meli, I am currently taking a class on prosperity consciousness. I have to say, I'm having a hard time with it! First of all, I know that everything is spiritual, which means that money is spiritual too. But it still seems wrong to me for money – or wanting money...
