In the intricate dance of life, our bodies are not just physical entities; they are magical instruments of emotional connection and discovery. This profound relationship between our physical selves and our emotional landscapes offers a fascinating journey into self-awareness and healing.

Imagine this: You're preparing for an important interview, and there's a fluttering sensation in your stomach, commonly described as 'butterflies.' This feeling, often a mix of excitement and nervousness, is centered in the solar plexus area. It's intriguing to note that this specific region, while a hub for nervous energy, is also intimately connected to feelings of power, self-confidence, and self-esteem.

During such moments, I've found that a simple yet powerful practice of creative visualization can be transformative. By placing my hands on my solar plexus and directing my focus and energy to this area, a shift occurs. This mindful act of sending energy to the solar plexus helps in settling the...

In the vast expanse of our spiritual journey, we often turn to external sources - books, teachers, and scriptures - in search of guidance. However, through my own extensive explorations, I've come to understand that the true compass guiding our spiritual path lies within ourselves. This realization marks the beginning of a profound personal transformation.

Discovering Your Truth

The truth of your being is a treasure only you can unearth. No external force can steer your journey or reveal the path you ought to walk. You may find inspiration in various teachings or mentors, but they are merely points of reference in the greater journey of life. The real task of navigating this path rests solely in your hands.

The Radical Inner Revolution

Embracing your inner guide marks the start of a radical inner revolution. It’s a commitment to discovering your authentic path. While external signposts can provide some direction, there's an innate part of you that
resonates with these guides,...

Embracing each day with spirit and authenticity is a journey towards true self-discovery. Today, let’s explore what it means to create a spirited day, one that resonates deeply with your inner self.

Listen to Your Inner Voice
First, ask yourself: What does my spirit need today? It could be a day of rest, a day of achievement, or perhaps a day dedicated to meaningful conversations. Understanding what serves you best is the first step in honoring your true self.

Tools for Energizing Your Day
One effective tool I embrace is journaling. It’s a powerful way to channel your energy, gain clarity, or just let your thoughts and feelings flow uninhibited. Another dynamic practice is dancing. Put on music that touches your soul and allow your body to express itself. Even a simple action like stomping your feet can significantly impact your wellbeing. This movement activates the soles of your feet, energetically resetting
your body.

Keeping the Energy Flowing
The key to a spirited day...

Emotions: they are not just fleeting feelings but powerful guides on our journey to self-discovery. As a spiritual teacher and advocate for consciousness, I've always held emotions in high regard. In my work, they are not just an aspect of the self; they are gateways to a deeper understanding of who we are.

Let’s explore this incredible journey of making peace with our emotions, a predominant theme in my teachings.

Unearthing the Truth Behind Emotions

The process begins with recognizing the emotion that is currently present. But it doesn't stop there. It's about delving deeper, looking behind that emotion, then going under it, and under it again. It's in this explorative journey that we uncover the truth of our selves.

The Distinction in Emotional Response

It's easy to get hooked onto an emotion, like anger, and let it define us. But that’s not the essence of our practice. Our focus is to get curious about the emotion: Where does this anger stem from? How is it...

In a world teeming with challenges and injustices, many of us feel a deep-seated urge to take action, to right the wrongs and restore balance. This instinct to contribute and make a difference is noble, but through my journey as a spiritual teacher, I've discovered a profound truth: lasting change begins from within.

Our inclination to address external problems is a reflection of our compassion. However, focusing solely on external solutions without nurturing our inner selves can lead us to overlook a crucial aspect of transformation. It's not just about what we can fix in the world; it's also about how we grow and evolve as individuals.

Embarking on a journey of self-discovery and alignment with our true spirit and purpose brings a completeness to our being. This wholeness doesn't just benefit us; it radiates outward, positively impacting our families, communities, and the world at large. It's the ripple effect of personal transformation.

Consider the advice given during flight...

Adi Shankaracharya, an 8th-century Indian philosopher and theologian, composed a poem called the Nirvana Shatakam. Born in Kerala, India, Shankaracharya is a pivotal figure in Advaita Vedanta, a non-dualistic school of Hindu philosophy. His life's mission was to re-establish the ancient teachings of Vedanta and advocate for the unity of the self (Atman) with the ultimate reality (Brahman).

When I first heard a rendition of this song and understood the meaning, it brought joy to my heart and mind. Since the day I first heard it I have been singing it and wanting to share it with you. In the video on this page, is the first verse, which sets the stage for the very essence of it's meaning - that I am Consciousness!

The Nirvana Shatakam begins with the declaration "I am not the body, I am not the mind," a message of self-realization and transcendence of the ego. 

1. I Am Not the Body: Negate identification with the physical body. The body is a temporary...

As a child, the world is a canvas of endless possibilities. Remember those days? The walls of our homes weren't barriers but the edges of our universe, the steam from a hot meal was a mysterious mist, and winter gear was our armor against fantastical ice kingdoms. Our young minds didn't recognize limits; they were foreign concepts, learned over time through the well-intentioned teachings of our caretakers and society.

Yet, this learning journey often takes a complex turn. As we grow, we receive subtle, and sometimes not so subtle, messages about our appearance, financial status, and the value we should place on ourselves. These messages, seeping into our consciousness from those we love and interact with, begin to sculpt our self-image. Slowly, we build an identity that feels more like a collage of external perceptions rather than an authentic self-portrait.

But isn't it peculiar? How we construct our sense of self based on these inherited beliefs, which, upon closer examination,...

Pausing allows us to center ourselves. To think about our intentions. To take a personal journey towards the discovery of our unique purpose in the Universe and connect with ourselves on a deeply profound level. Notice your breath, notice your eyes, and notice the power of a pause during this serene meditation. 

Let's smile. Let's feel the love pulsing through our body, radiating through our chakra system. Throughout this entire meditation, I invite you to smile. Just smile. This simple act can free tension, relieve stress, and completely change your mood. Smiles are contagious. They deliver positivity. You may even change someone else's day by smiling in their direction.

 This beautiful, serene 10-minute meditation focuses solely on your breathing, allowing you to pause in the moment and be present. Where nothing is happening, where there is nothing but emptiness, where you can be still as you find your own rhythm and expansion. Please gift yourself these precious moments of self care in meditation to escape from the daily churn. Calm your body, calm your mind.
