Having Compassion for Awful People
This is the title of an excellent article by author David Michie. And it was the topic of my talk to a meditation group recently. Our meditators were genuinely intrigued by it. David tells the story of a monk, Palden Gyatso, who was jailed by the Chinese when they invaded Tibet. He endured 33 years […]
Eliminating Physical Drains
How do you feel opening a jumbled, messy closet or a crammed full drawer? In the ancient arts of Feng Shui and Vastu, clutter is an obstacle to the natural flow of energy that is all around us. Upon clearing a home of all the energy-draining clutter, people universally notice a new lightness of being, an openness […]
We All Live in the World of Our Own Making
How else could we live alongside others with profoundly different beliefs about so many subjects? Let’s take one subject: healthy eating. I just read an article by a dietician stating that, for an experiment, she ate a diet of 80% ultra-processed foods for a month. By the end of her research, she said she felt […]
Goal Setting, Planning and Growing in 2025
This is the time of year when we think about resolutions, breaking bad habits, or setting new goals. With our new intentions, we embark on a brand-new year of possibilities.

From Suffering to Peace
When we are born, our perception from our senses is brand new. We have no formed opinions or knowledge of being alive on this planet. As we experience this new existence, we begin creating our EGO. Think of it as the software of our humanness. As we grow, we learn from our family, environment, and […]

Oh My the News
Last week was a consequential week in the United States. I’ve heard from many who are suffering trying to come to grips with news of the election results. Of course, I also recognize that many are satisfied with the news. How do we live with this result? What if we are worried about the future? […]
Within This World
Within this world are all things wonderful and blissful, yet at the same time, there is horrendous evil and suffering. There are people on our planet who you would consider angels doing miraculous things. And, to the other extreme, we have humans who commit atrocities we don’t want to describe. This is life on this […]
An Attribute We Can All Cultivate
When I was a child, there was a word describing an attribute used in the ‘olden days’ that you never hear anymore—at least how it was used then. Now, that word is used for many descriptions and often separates people. It’s too bad because this attribute would be so appreciated if it were to flow […]

We realize many, if not most, of you found the Kasey Claytor site and offerings because you are interested in financial success. We hear you. Many came to us because they were interested in one of Kasey’s books. We plan to send a survey soon to ask why you went to the Kasey Claytor site […]
