Message: Animal or Human?
You Choose.

Dear Ones, 

This little guy behind my house reminds me that we each essentially have two brains. Our lower, animal brain keeps us alive - but causes pain and disconnection when it runs amok. Our higher, human brain is meant to dominate the lower one and guide our journeys. Being a better and fulfilled human means taming the animal brain and living from the higher.

You see, your lower, animal brain is instinctive, hyper-reactive, mean and even cruel in its efforts to preserve survival and safety. When you disconnect from others and get defensive or argue, you're in the lower brain. When the lower brain's in charge, you can't experience caring, connection, cooperation or meaning.

In contrast, your higher, human brain is curious, creative, imaginative, empathetic, and able to appreciate beauty and wonder. It's where love is born and works in the world, and where you feel good and experience joy, connection, meaning and peace.

The tricky part is that when your lower brain feels unsafe, it quickly hijacks your higher brain and you react with a fight or flight response, like a threatened animal. Things get toxic? The old brain's calling the shots. Importantly, the more unhealed old wounds are stored in your old brain, the more trigger-happy it's gonna be!

To some degree, we all have unhealed wounds stored in the lower brain, and it can at times feel like there’s no stopping it from rampage. But as a sovereign human, you get to choose which brain dominates at any moment. And you can heal the wounds that make your lower brain trigger-happy. Ultimately, you have the power to nip the hijack in the bud and live in the connection, wonder and joy of your higher, human brain.

Being a good, kind, loving and fulfilled human means choosing the higher, human brain, over and over again, even when it's hard.
Like anything, it gets easier with practice.

Heal the wounds stored in your lower, animal brain and choose to live from your higher one. Learn how in a gentle and enjoyable way, with me.

Happy 249th Birthday, America.
What are you now?

A Birthday is a time for reflection.

For a moment, look hard at what's happening in our country. 

Does what you see embody the values of your higher, human brain, or the fears of your lower, animal one?
