That's one of the only things that I'm still tweaking about the 101 program is the processing of emotional detritus. I cannot overstate how important this is:...
I get asked again and again what I'm really up to with the 101 program. There really isn't quite language for it. I can say "lose 20 pounds" or "double your...
I've been implementing the 101 program on myself for the last month, and it may be entirely coincidental, but I've gained more personal time, am sleeping less...
As you exercise, remember to keep the thread of your breathing constant and smooth. If it never breaks, it is very unlikely you will hurt yourself. Then, if...
I have a friend who was about to embark on major changes in his life. I warned him that unless he had a way to process the negative emotions that would come...
One of the secrets to success in life is for your actions to be in alignment with your goals, beliefs, values and emotional land mines. Another is to imagine...
Every day, multiple times a day, I visualize a triangle and the "end points" of my three main goals: body/fitness, intelligence/career, and internal/external...
Some time ago I said that a core aspect of turning your finances around is saving 10% of your income. Not for "big purchases" or "vacations" or "buying a...
If you are using a "Triangle Meditation" technique, and have been successful so far, try separating it out into three separate triangles, one at the "Belly...
Sex is such an interesting subject. I studied it formally for years, specifically a Native American approach to spiritual sexuality. Cross-referencing their...
What would be a child's approach to the Chakras as opposed to an adult's? O.K, I'll take a shot at that, but only with the caveat that in many ways I'm talking...
Years ago, I attended a workshop in Georgia that was QUITE confrontive for most of the participants. Lots of emotional sturm und drang. I did fine...until...
Oh, yes. Talking to the trees. I promised the story of what happened to me. Well, the workshop was held in the mountains north (I think) of Atlanta. There was...
A reasonable person might ask what the use of exercises like "talking to the trees." Especially if you have deep-seated deservement or "Impostor Syndrome"...
One key to success in life is to align all aspects of your "self" into coherent movement in a single direction. Your mind (goals and skills), your emotions...

Back in the late 80's, I was researching a book that came to be titled "Iron Shadows," and dealt with a sex cult. To research it, I began to associate with a...
I like to move back and forth between projects, but have to be careful to center myself before each day's work. Listen: everything that you write comes from...

As I've said before, Dr. Hans Selye, the popularizer of the modern concept of stress, confessed that he had slightly mis-labeled the phenomenon of human...
Yes, my "balance" model has to make room for the ascetic, the yogi, the committed bachelor, etc. I'm not saying that you have to be rich, or a bodybuilder, or...
Seeing a thing, and watching people that I love floundering in their lives, blinded with pain and fear, and wondering how in the living hell I could help...
It is my observation after fifty-plus years on this planet that, based upon what people say a couple years down the line, I'm more often right if I trust my...
The balance I speak of is SIMPLE to attain, but not EASY. First, a clarification: NO ONE reading this blog (including its writer) is gonna marry Halle Berry...
Those who have been reading my words for a while will realize that everything I say is merely the repetition of a single core idea, addressed from multiple...
It is clear that the question of relationships touches an exceptionally deep and powerful nerve for many readers. I appreciate both the rather raw and...
In many ways, everything I say in this newsletter—or on my blog, is just a different way of trying to express something I've grasped over my years of writing...
Steve, what advice do you give to thin people who have problems with their knees, backs, and/or energy level? First, be certain that there are no medical...
