The Power of an Unplugged Day
First of all, I just want to give a shout out to the Plugged. There are a lot of super-cool things about our current technology. I love it that I can text my wife and ask her if she wants anything at the store when I’m there. I love our Facebook community at OhMyGod...
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...
The Most Important Element of Spiritual Practice
I've been doing this spiritual thang for over thirty years. In that time, I've learned a lot. I've also learned that I know nothing. Indeed, realizing how little I know is one of the most valuable things I’ve learned. But there’s something else I’ve realized, a truth...
Should You Always Tell the Truth?
Dear Meli, I have a friend that wants to be a singer. She's sure that she's going to be a big star. She's in her early forties and has been singing for a long time, but her career has never taken off. At all. And here's the thing: she's not really a great singer....
The Best Meditation Help Ever!

What’s Your Number? And Why Does It Matter?
I know. It totally sounds like we're at a bar and I'm trying to hit on you. What's your number, little lady? But here’s the thing – I’m a Five, and knowing that I’m a Five has changed my life for the better in innumerable ways. For those of you who still think we’re...
How Do You Raise Spiritually Aware Children?
Photo: Jay on flickr Dear Meli, I am a mom of three kids, ages 7 to 15. I am also a meditator and a spiritual seeker. I have tried to teach my kids about the value of being spiritually aware, with mixed results. My teenage daughters are pretty resistant at this point....
My Guru Has a Tail, Episode 11: There’s a New Guru in Town
In the world of spiritual practice, no relationship is more sacred than that of student and guru. I should know. My former guru was one of the best. She taught me to make peace with perpetual change. She taught me to overcome obstacles. And, most important, she taught...
How Can You Handle Other People’s Reaction to Your Good Fortune?
Dear Meli, I have a question about money. And no, it's not that I don't have enough. It's the opposite. I have quite a lot. I am independently wealthy. The problem is that this is not something I can tell everyone. Some people get very strange when they find out I...
There’s Only One Way Out of a Vicious Cycle
Vicious cycles are not fun. Even the word vicious totally sounds bad, right? Vishhhhhhhh-Isssssssssss. Makes me wanna crawl under my bed and not come out until that evil, hissing vicious cycle slinks back to where it came from. But wait, where did it come from? That’s...
What’s the Connection Between Shame and Victimhood?
Dear Readers, I decided to write this week about my own personal edge these days. It's the thing that I’ve been working on, or rather, the thing that’s been working me. There have been some deep transformations going on over here. So I thought I’d share some of that...
