If you don’t enjoy moving your body, then you’ve lost the ability to be fully human.

You projected onto them for a reason. You felt their hooks. It was an energetic match, and so you launched your projection. It’s not bad or wrong, this is a psychological process which you need to understand.

Your unconscious mind isn’t a thing. It’s not a single object or concept. I want you to get this right, so here’s what I know.

I haven’t eaten in 26 hours, but the slowness just subsided, and I feel a sudden surge of gratitude which I need to share with you.

It’s the end of 2024, and I failed myself this year. I didn’t honour my intentions, and I know you’ve felt like me before...

Your pace might be too slow, and your ‘healing patience’ might be the thing that’s hurting you the most.

Ending a relationship with a bad friend, bad lover or bad family member is extremely difficult, but I'm here to give you the courage and confidence to move forward without them.

Integrity is the soil of your soul, and your future will flourish upon the foundations you choose to nourish or neglect.

You need a stronger ego, not ego death. Your immature ego is fickle and incoherent, but the truly mature, truly authentic, truly adult ego is a gift of great significance.

Let me say this simply: there is no tool, teacher, or therapy which can heal the complexity of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wounds with sudden and ultimate conclusion.

Do you know the sanctification of your flesh? Do you know the marriage of muscle and mind in their grace and greatness? I’ve been training for 12 years...

I seem to have taken the path less travelled, but maybe I’ve made the wrong choice? Against all cliche, should I have followed the crowd on the path of pleasure and conformity?

A perfect boundary is partially close and yet somewhat distant - it should be tangible, and visible, and with enough integrity to protect your essence behind the perimeter of your outwards identity.

Imagine a library in the desert, bookshelves rising from the sand, an oasis of wisdom in a barren and superficial world.

FUN NEWS! It’s the FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY of my Inner Work Library project this weekend, and it’s time to celebrate with secrets.

I’ve planted a pinecone in my garden every Monday for the last three years. That’s over 150 pinecones in total, and I haven’t missed a single week of seeding my soil.

I counted graves when I was five years old. I enjoyed playing with death, and I remember breaking through brambles in the hope of uncovering abandoned headstones in the churchyard near my grandmother’s home.

I’ve been sober for five years, but I’ve been struggling with addiction lately - and it’s not drink or drugs which are causing me problems.

The gym is psychotherapy for the flesh, and good lifting is better healing than ‘being vulnerable’ with an average therapist.

I want to grow old, and I can’t stop dreaming about the old man I want to become. I want to feel the heaviness of time, and I hate how we’re blinded to the gifts of ageing with grace.

Would you build a castle wall through the centre of your town square?

We don’t always get what we want, and I’ve started to accept that win-win scenarios are rarely encountered in everyday life.

This is the summer of strong yet soulful boundaries: an intentional experiment in simplicity with the expectation of rooted expansion for both myself and the people I care about in this tiny corner of the internet.

The soul of the classroom - the heart of the therapy session - is profoundly affected by the character and consciousness of the facilitator, and I’m trying to discern the difference between great teaching and exceptional teaching.

Self censorship is the silent killer of your heart, and I’m not talking about repressed rage or venting your feelings without restraint.

I know the allure of the mystical, and the thrill of chasing peak experiences, but please remember to embrace the essence of the meaningful everyday.

This morning I was tracking my inner dialogue and I kept noticing this particular phrase: “Jordan, are you being loving towards yourself right now?”

Dreamwork is overrated. It’s too much time looking in the wrong direction at the wrong time of day.

Do you want to be seen or disappear instead? You probably have a preference for the second half of 2024... would you like more privacy or more publicity?

Anger isn’t always negative, but many people are making themselves sick because they’ve repressed all of their high-charge emotions without consideration for the possible benefits of healthy and appropriate anger.

Spiritual growth isn’t enough, not when you’ve got unhealed wounds. I know it’s tempting to want to grasp towards the higher realms, but many of us are doing this without having made a genuine effort to clear the pain from our past.

You deserve better than this. You deserve to live up to your full potential, and that means being honest about when you’re not living up to your own standards.

I didn’t know the difference between positive escapism and compulsive dissociation when I was growing up, which unfortunately meant that I didn’t realise that I was chronically dissociative until my early 20’s.

When you’re caught in the clutches of an inferiority complex, an unresolved father complex, or a self-inflated saviour complex, you’re not interacting with baseline reality.

Ever wonder if people are talking badly about you behind your back? What do you worry about in terms of your image and reputation?

There are many people who mistakenly believe that self-love is synonymous with universal self-compassion and non-discerning acceptance of all things, but this is a dangerously incomplete idea which shouldn’t be applied to complex issues like inner child work.

If you want to love yourself, then you need a truthful blend of authentic self compassion and authentic self respect.

“Not you, Jordan. You’ve already answered enough questions.” I was four or five years old when I realised that adults don't like it when you speak too loud or too often.

Trauma doesn’t need to live inside you forever, but we’ve been conditioned to repress our natural instinct for emotional release.

You can’t stop scrolling. It happens everyday. When do you stop the madness?

Mood swings aren’t mandatory, and being sensitive doesn’t mean that you should accept unpredictable oscillations between high-highs and low-lows.

Do you know the difference between an authentic desire and an implanted narrative in your subconscious mind?

Play it small, play it safe… when did you learn to hide your brilliance from those who were threatened by your light?

I’m fascinated by decay, and I’ve grown to love the limitations of life. Time feels like it’s fading, and so are you and I.

Sometimes you’re wrestling with God, and sometimes you can’t tell the difference between your ego, your soul and your higher power when your self identity feels blurred at the edges.

Shadow work is terrifying at times. It’s normal to feel afraid of what you might find in your unconscious mind, but it doesn’t have to feel like this forever.

What character are you playing today? Who are you in the middle of your story?

How long have you spent scrolling YouTube this week? Let’s look at the deeper reason why you keep getting pulled into the screen, even when you’re not particularly enjoying the experience.

The trouble with trauma is that it's difficult to detect.

If you want to strengthen your intuition, then stop settling for immediate answers.

I want you to focus on developing your healing willpower.

Boundary issues are almost always linked to underlying issues of low self worth and unresolved wounds from the past - weak boundaries cannot be fixed quickly.

I hated going outside as a child. Dirt was disgusting, the wind was unwelcome, and it felt like there was nothing for me to do.

The Inner Critic is born from wounding and trauma, and it can be a highly counter productive or even destructive force in the early stages of self awareness… but it’s possible to evolve this troubling archetype.

If you’re a smart and capable person who enjoys intellectual challenges...

If empaths can feel energies, why do they keep letting destructive or disrespectful energies get so close?

Think of someone you respect, do they pass the following test?

Sigmund Freud died while working at 83. Carl Jung died while working at 86. Alexander Lowen died while working at 97.

There's no tool, teacher or therapy which can grace all aspects of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual complexity at the same time with ultimate and irreversible healing effect.

Your Inner Child isn’t your True Self. These are two very different concepts which shouldn’t be misunderstood as identical aspects of your psyche.

I’ve spent roughly 12,000 hours reading over the last 4 years… but the majority of this research has been redundant, repetitive and frankly ridiculous.

Your words are weak because you know you’re weak, but your words will feel stronger when you know that you’re stronger.

Do you keep getting anxious or overwhelmed? Mood swings are normal, but the underlying cause of your emotional disturbances can often be hard to find and overcome.

I didn’t love my body when I was a child, and I barely existed during my teens and early twenties. I was depressed and chronically dissociative.

You need a stronger ego, not ego death.

If you don’t care what’s happening around you, neither will your brain or body.

We don't always get what we want, and I've started to accept that there aren’t always win-win scenarios when making major life decisions.

My life changed when I stopped repressing my own ambition... and I want you to feel this way too.

Integrity is the soil of your soul, and your forest will flourish upon the foundations you choose to nourish or neglect.

This is my porch, and it's where l've spent the majority of my time over the last four years.
