What the Highway Taught Me About How to Live
Certain places are ripe for spiritual practice. Quiet rooms with low lighting and gorgeous altars. Spacious sanctuaries filled with devoted practitioners. Long ribbons of asphalt populated with speeding vehicles. Wait, what? Yup, that’s what I said. Everywhere is a...
Can I Be Friends with Non-Spiritual Peeps?
Dear Meli, My wife and I recently met some new friends at a party. They are about our age and live nearby. They are kind, friendly, and fun to be around. There's just one thing that I've been grappling with. They're atheists. They don't believe in any sort of Higher...
What the RV Couple Taught Me About Boundaries
“Be nice.” “Be polite.” “Put others needs above your own.” As someone who was socialized as female in this society, messages like these were baked into my consciousness from the time I was small. This isn’t to say that all female people have these messages baked into...
How Important is Consistency in Spiritual Practice?
Dear Meli, How important do you think consistency is? I ask because I have been practicing meditation for several decades now. However, I change my meditation practice quite often. Whenever I hear about a new form of meditation, I'm always intrigued and have to check...
How Can I Stop Comparing Myself with Others?
Dear Meli, One of the hardest things for me on the spiritual path is comparing myself to others. I seem to do it all the time: How I compare to others spiritually, how I compare to others in my physical fitness, how I compare to others in how much money I have. I've...
What the Grand Canyon Taught Me About Abundance
Recently, Melissa and I went on a little trip. Okay, it was actually a big trip. For two and a half months, we lived in our van while we traveled around the country, doing inspirational talks and music at spiritual centers. It was a huge adventure, one that continues...
How Can You Tell If You’re a Vibrational Match?
There’s a really easy way to tell if you’re a vibrational match with someone. You each sing the tone of your fundamental soul essence. If the tones harmonize, you’re a match! If the tones clash, you’re not a match and you need to run away from that person as fast as...
Can Introverts and Extroverts Be Friends?
Dear Meli, I'm having some conflict with my best friend. We recently went on a vacation together. We had an itinerary planned, but when it came time to do everything, I just couldn't do it. My friend is a lot more extroverted than I am, and she doesn't always...
What’s the Most Dreaded Spiritual Practice? And How Can I Hack It?
I once had a minister tell me that every time they did a talk about the Dreaded Practice, fewer people would come to church that Sunday. What on earth could be that Dreaded? Meditation? Journaling? Taking a spiritual inventory? No, my friends. It’s something much,...
How Can I Stop Procrastinating?
Dear Meli, I have been trying to be more focused lately. I work at home as my own boss, and I've had a long history of procrastination. I'm tired of it, but it's also a habit that I'm finding hard to break. It's weird, because I really want to be more focused. But...
What I Learned From My Selfish Friend
I’m a lifelong learner, so no matter how completely and horribly crappy something turns out, I’m always looking for the lesson to be learned from it. Take friendships, for example. I’ve got all kinds of friends in my life – those I’ve known for decades and those I’ve...
How Do I Release My Blocks to Prosperity?
Dear Meli, I am a spiritual teacher with over three decades of experience. During that time, I have been teaching and leading workshops out of my home, as well as doing some private spiritual coaching work. Covid definitely changed things, but I was able to switch...
