I Am A Human Being

No matter how heinous a crime, if a human being did it, you have to say, “I have in me all the components that are in her or in him. I intend to use my energies constructively, as opposed to destructively.” — Maya Angelou

Distant Healing — The Heart-Opening Technique

First, the Golden Rule: Distant healing must always be done in a relaxed, calm and loving way. Otherwise, you may be sending agitated vibrations and energies. In particular, you need to monitor that you do not have any neediness that there be a healing. The keynote is compassionate equanimity.

How To Combat Appearance Dissatisfaction In The Digital Age

Videoconferencing, taking selfies and posting on social media are visually based activities where appearance is often the primary focus. Perhaps not surprisingly, these image-based platforms have been significantly associated with appearance dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression and eating disorders.

Chosen By A Whale

It was an honor that very few humans will experience, having contact with a whale in such an intimate way, in her natural habitat, and on her terms. By visualizing this day and imagining riding on Molly’s back with her heart-shaped, puffy blows spraying me in my face while we breach the water surface, I settle myself from the chatter in my mind to calm and center myself.

The Loving Medicine Of Silence

Living in the world of noise requires a lot of attention to the practice of silence. By gently and patiently immersing ourselves in the simple medicine of silence throughout the day, we develop a healing practice, and our minds are no longer so easily pushed and pulled by the noise within and around us.

Got Grit?

Grit is about being mentally tough. It’s about having a backbone and that driving force that helps us stick to our goals while we hit every bump in the road. Even if we fall or fail, we get right back up in the saddle and gather up our courage, strength, and stamina to carry on.

Do You Know When You Are Overdoing It?

What if instead, you chose to develop a relationship with your energy that feeds and honors its preciousness? From that way of being, you fill yourself first while also paying tribute to an authentic relationship because you are giving from a place of fullness.

How To Balance Self Care And Giving To Others

For many, a large gap exists between being nurtured and nurturing others. Some of the most tender, loving, generous people tend to not share that same warmth with themselves. It’s not enough to occasionally squeeze in time for the things that nourish us. It’s important to make these a priority and grant time for them each day.

Been There, Done That! (Are You Sure?)

Often we think we need something new and different in order to be happy. So you think you’ve done it, seen it, nothing is new. You may sigh and say “Been there, done that” and feel unhappy. But in reality, we’ve never experienced this moment before. Not this one either. Nor this one.

What’s Your Birthstone

There are 12 birthstones (plus a few more), each embodying many different qualities, each of great stillness and beauty. Here's the crystal carver’s guide to the perennial favorites of the year.

Forgiveness Is A Gift You Give Yourself

Learning to forgive is a crucial, yet challenging, step toward personal growth, inner peace, and healthier relationships. By understanding that forgiveness is a path to self-liberation, you can take the first step toward a lighter and brighter future.

When You Lift Your Finger, You Move The Stars

The law of nature is that there’s always change. Even if there seems to be darkness today, I know for sure — it’s not just a hope, it’s a conviction — that after the night, after the darkest hour, the day surely has to come, and the dawn will break.

Wisdom Of The Ages

When stepping out into your day, do it with a smile and great enthusiasm. Expect the best. Be determined when trying something new. And, make sure that your own mental library is full of positive quotes to live by.
