Red Hot means that our minds are heated with excitement and commitment to ourselves and others on this path to knowing the present and understanding what a gift it is to be here.

I have studied and led groups in somatic and mindfulness for over 15 years in the Bay Area and would love to reconnect with others on this journey. Looking for red hot minds....please email me..

… We are also lucky to be able access the ancient wisdom of meditation lineages such as Veda, Buddhism, and others. What these ancient wisdoms and science are telling us is very different than our very limited senses can tell us.  As we grow we start doing what is called Premature Cognitive Commitments. As Deepak Chopra says, "Our Nervous System has only one function and that is to reinforce our initial sensory experiences". Then we commit to these experiences as being our reality.
