My New Friend
This actually happened today. I went for a short walk this afternoon. About halfway through, near the playground my daughter likes to play at, I was hailed by a youngish man. He was a stranger to me, and dressed raggedly, carrying a large, dirty backpack. I’d seen him before, shouting […]
UFO Chronicles Podcast
File this one under “better late than never.”  Back in October, I was invited to share about my near death experience and recovery on the UFO Chronicles Podcast by the ever pleasant and professional Nik Hunter.  I’d never done an interview quite like this before (although this was honestly more […]
Please allow me to heal you.
Consider this…the root of the word “health” is “whole.” Therefore, a healer isn’t always someone who diagnoses disease or performs surgery. A healer is anyone who helps others to become whole, who guides them back to what they’ve really always been. Fear is the great separator, the great divider. Fear […]
Girl in the mud.
(This was written by my friend Ali today.  I liked it so much I asked if I could share it here.  It captures so well what’s been happening for many of us since 2020 began.  Weird and wonderful and weary times. ~Daniel) Shallow spirituality is talking the talk. Deep spirituality […]

Buena Vibra Collective - Nosara, Costa Rica
Happiest of holiday seasons, Big Sisters and Brothers! I’ve been blessed to spend the majority of mine surrounded by family on the beaches and in the jungles of Costa Rica (which may find itself with a few new residents before long). The people here shine both in physical and emotional […]
Laozi and his water buffalo
While I came to Guilin to study Mandarin, half of my “class” time here is devoted to history and philosophy. Yesterday my teacher, Kolok, told me a stories about Laozi: his departure from Chengzhou riding backwards on a water buffalo, his writing of the Tao Te Ching at the behest […]
Guilin, China
I arrived in Guilin, China late last evening and enjoyed my first full day here today. Tomorrow begins my study in Mandarin and Taiji, which I’m looking forward to immensely. As a part of my largely mundane reacquaintance with the city, I decided to get a massage. The 16+ hours […]

One chance out between Two Worlds, Fire Walk with Me.
The energy lately seems to be slightly cloudy with a chance of weird. Lots of people have been complaining about difficulty focusing, emotional rollercoaster rides, intense dreams, and sleep alternating between insomnia and torpor. I personally have been finding it difficult to read more than a few pages at a […]
Big Money, No Whammies!
Here’s a small tip for exercising your intuition muscle. Find a multiple choice trivia quiz on a subject you have no knowledge or interest in. Read questions thoroughly, as if you were actually taking the quiz. Now read each of the multiple choice answers, paying attention to where you feel […]
Self Love Isn't Selfish
Early in my recovery, I told a mentor that nothing in my life would come before being a good dad. He replied, without missing a beat, “No. You should put your recovery before everything else.” I didn’t understand this and was quite annoyed by his response. Sensing this, he continued, […]
Reiki 1 & 2 - October 2019
Congratulations to the first ever graduating class of Kali-Ki Reiki and Wisdom School, San Francisco!  I couldn’t have asked for a better group of open hearted souls to explore consciousness with. We learned the history and symbols of Reiki, practical approaches to all 16 Kali-Ki chakras and, you know, transcended […]
A Return to Health
The ink should be dry by now, so I feel safe in sharing that I’ll officially be giving treatments out of a new studio in San Francisco! I’ll be sharing space with the wonderful folks at A Return to Health: South Shaolin Qi Gong & Chinese Medicine in the absolutely gorgeous Flood […]

Stressed Backwards
It is important to always monitor your energetic well-being, as this will help you to avoid many undesirable issues long before they begin to manifest in your body or your world. Pay close attention to the things that you are craving. Do you find yourself wanting to consume the nightly […]
Marianne Williamson
77) I am entitled to miracles. I saw Marianne Williamson speak tonight in San Francisco at Manny’s. I don’t play politics too often these days, but I’ll support her message on whatever platform is available. She is out to change the American consciousness in so many kind, honest ways. PS: […]
Paul Selig
I attended a channeled workshop/attunement by Paul Selig at the Foundation of the Sacred Stream in Berkeley this Sunday. In all my years of wearing this name, (that’d be 46) I have never experienced such energetic movement while conscious. I remain, some hours later, dumbstruck and consciously vibrating. I’ve closely followed […]
