Dear Meli
How Do I Handle My Fire Trauma?
Dear Meli, I know that you live in Sonoma County, so I'm curious to hear your take on this. I was evacuated from my home during the wildfires in Santa Rosa. I was out of my house for about a week, but after that I was able to return home. Not everyone was so lucky. I...
Is Getting Sick a Failure?
Dear Meli, It seems like people who are into consciousness sometimes make getting sick a failure. What's your take on this? I have an illness that I have been living with for years now. Even though I still wish I didn't have it, I have learned to adapt and find ways...
Why Do Siblings Have Such Different Childhoods?
Dear Meli, Why do siblings who grew up in the same family have such different memories of their childhood? This might not sound like a spiritual question, but my sister and I, who are very close in age, have very different memories of our childhood, and this has...
How Do You Raise Your Self-Esteem?
Dear Meli, This may be a weird question, but aren't spiritual seekers supposed to like themselves? I've been involved in a spiritual practice for a long time, and it has definitely improved my life. But sometimes it feels like my self-esteem has barely budged....
How Do You Let Go of Being a Victim?
Dear Meli, I recently had someone tell me that I have a tendency to be a victim. Pretty annoying, right? Well, it's not the first time I've heard this. Lately, I've made the commitment to be more self-aware. And . . . Bingo! Do you have any advice of tips for letting...
How Do You Move On?
Dear Meli, I have been in a difficult relationship for a long time. We have both been growing a lot, and for a long time it made sense for me to stay. But now I am realizing that it's time to go. It's hurting me too much to stay in this relationship. And yet leaving...
Do You Have to Meditate to Be Spiritual?
Dear Meli, This may be a silly question, but do you really need to meditate if you're on a spiritual path? I ask because I really hate to meditate. I have a really hard time sitting still and quieting my mind. I'm a runner and that seems to be my preferred form of...
How Can I Be Myself Around Others?
Dear Meli, This might seem like a strange question, but I have a hard time being myself. I'm a total chameleon, and I tend to act like whoever I'm with. This makes me really easy to get along with, but sometimes I don't know who I really am. I also tend to not stand...
Do We Have to Eat Healthy to Be Spiritual?
Dear Meli, I am a really healthy eater. I do it because it makes me feel better, but also because I feel like it helps me spiritually. My best friend, however, doesn't eat healthy at all. And, I have to admit, she's also one of the most loving and spiritually...
Is It Ever Right to Change Yourself for Others?
Dear Meli, I am a strong-minded person who tells it like it is. Some people are turned off by this, but my closest friends are not. Lately though, I was dating a man I really liked a lot. As he was breaking up with me, he said that I'm just "too much" for him. This is...
Is Competition Bad for a Friendship?
Dear Meli, I have a friend that I like a lot. Well, most of the time. Here's the thing: He's really smart. And really handsome. And really into his spiritual practice. Not in a show-offy way. He's just really good at everything he does. The only bad part is what...
Is Money a Corrupting Influence?
Dear Meli, Money is the root of all evil. Yeah, I know that we spiritual types shake our heads at this phrase and say “No way!” But I kinda agree with it. Even when I don’t want to. I’ve been working really hard lately to let in more money in my life, and I’m aware...
