The Paradox of Enlightenment

Recently, I coached a woman whose spiritual resume was more impressive than most teachers I know. She’d spent fifteen years and tens of thousands of dollars pursuing spiritual awakening through every conceivable path. Yet as she spoke about her spiritual journey, I felt something heavy in her heart: exhaustion. Deep, bone-weary spiritual exhaustion. “Gabriel,” she said, “I’ve done everything. I know more about consciousness and spirituality than I ever imagined possible. So why do I feel I’m...

Last week, I found myself spending nearly an hour organizing my already-tidy office instead of making a phone call that could transform my business. The number sat on my desk, written on a crumpled piece of paper. One call. Fifteen minutes. Potentially life-changing. Yet there I was, organizing staplers. What was keeping me from picking up the phone and making the call? If you’ve ever found yourself suddenly fascinated by organizing your sock drawer when faced with an important task, you’re...

Dear Reader, When was the last time you felt truly alive? Not just happy or successful, but deeply, authentically alive—connected to your purpose, clear about what matters, present to the beauty and complexity of being human? For many of us, that memory feels distant. We've built impressive lives, achieved what we thought we wanted, yet something essential has been lost along the way. We've become experts at appearing successful to others, but we've lost touch with the only thing that can...

Have you ever felt a subtle shift deep within—like your heart is whispering secrets your mind can't quite grasp? That nagging sense of disconnection, even amidst outward success, might just be the first sign of something profound: your heart is beginning to awake. But here's what most spiritual teachers won't tell you: heart awakening isn't all bliss and light. When love finally gets in, it summons everything unloved within you to be healed. The process can feel like you're dying—because in...

Have you ever felt so deeply intertwined with someone that you couldn’t tell where you ended and they began? While many spiritual teachers warn against attachments and entanglements, I’ve discovered something different in my years of coaching—especially when you’ve lost yourself in a relationship: our hearts are designed for connection in all its forms—even the messy ones. Today, I’m exploring the natural evolution of human relationships—from those first sparks of connection through the...

The day my father died, the world split in two. There was the before—filled with his laughter, his advice, his presence at our family table. And then there was the after—this strange, hollowed-out reality where I stood at 21, watching them lower his coffin while something inside me screamed that this couldn’t possibly be happening. No one had told me grief would feel so physical. That my chest would literally ache. That food would lose its taste. That sometimes, in the middle of a normal...

Have you ever caught yourself staring out the window during a workday, wondering if there’s something more? That quiet moment when you ask yourself if what you’re doing truly matters? I’ve been there too. And in my years as a heart leadership coach, I’ve sat with hundreds of people wrestling with the same question: What am I truly meant to do with my life? This isn’t just casual curiosity. It’s the voice of your heart nudging you toward something deeper. This week, I want to explore the...

Three simple words. Eight letters. Spoken billions of times each day across the globe. “I love you” – perhaps the most powerful phrase in any language, yet so often misunderstood. After nearly two decades exploring the mysteries of the heart, I’ve witnessed something both fascinating and troubling: we all hunger for love with every fiber of our being, yet most of us have no idea what we’re truly asking for when we say, “I want to be loved.” So this week, I'd like to invite you to consider a...

Joseph Campbell once said that while most people seem to be searching for the meaning of life, deep down inside, what we are all truly longing for is the experience of being fully alive. I wholeheartedly agree. To me, this is precisely what The Path of the Heart is all about: A path with a heart. One that makes you come fully alive; that brings out both the best and worst in you. A path that allows you to discover powerful gifts and qualities you never even thought you had and unleash the...

A groundbreaking study just published in Communications Medicine has uncovered a shocking connection between solar storms and heart attacks that disproportionately affects women. If you’re a woman—especially over 60—what happens 93 million miles away on our sun could literally be breaking your heart. When the spectacular aurora borealis lit up skies as far south as Puerto Rico last year, most of us marveled at the beauty. Few realized those colorful lights signaled a potentially deadly risk...
