By Nicole Urdang | March 17, 2022
Posted in Anxiety, Inner work, Self-compassion

We are born helpless and incapable of living without other people’s assistance. We depend on caretakers, usually parents, to take care of us so that we can develop into adults able to live interdependently with others. This is just a fact.

So often, people say: It goes without saying. It’s usually used when someone is saying something kind, complimentary or loving. What a crazy notion, that saying something beautiful and supportive could be unnecessary. What a shame that phrase even exists.  What could go without saying are so many of the negative things we utter or […]

In a yoga-inspired course on the chakras, teacher Davidji said of the fourth, or throat, chakra: “Throughout the day when you find yourself making compromises out of fear, out of playing small, out of not believing in yourself, remind yourself that the vibration ‘hum’ is the vibration of permission. Whether you say it silently or […]

By Nicole Urdang | January 19, 2022
Posted in Inner work, Self-compassion, Trauma

Compassionate curiosity is the magic combination of self-compassion and curiosity. What makes it magical is its ability to help you embrace internal and external challenges with an open heart and mind. Typically, when something difficult appears, whether it’s internal, like obsessive thoughts, a physical ailment, or an emotional state; or external, like a financial setback, […]

What do OCD, addiction and self-discipline have in common?

By Nicole Urdang | September 16, 2021
Posted in Addiction/OCD

What do OCD, addiction and self-discipline have in common? They all involve some form of repetition compulsion. At first glance, it looks as if self-discipline involves using self-control to benefit oneself while addictions and other OCD behaviors look as if someone is out of control. But, as you will see, the essence of all three […]

When it comes to healing childhood trauma or any other psychological issue that creates disequilibrium, like anxiety, anger issues, or depression, the recommendation has always been to learn how to self regulate. This is still a crucial part of shoring up one’s resilience and ability to handle life’s challenges. But it is not the only […]

Have you ever tracked your steps with a Fitbit or other app? If so, you became aware of something you might have been taking for granted.

Posted in Anxiety, Meditation, Somatic Therapies

Here is a fairly short practice that starts with a silent So Hum breath meditation and seamlessly moves into a different kind of body scan. What I love about this is how it’s perfect before sleep, upon waking, or anytime during the day. The body scan is my riff on a classical yoga nidra body […]

How Good Are You At Predicting Your Life?

By Nicole Urdang | May 17, 2021
Posted in General, Personal evolution

While walking this morning, it suddenly occurred to me that all the best things in my life were unimaginable before they happened.
