While I don’t consider myself an angry person, I have always had an open curiosity about anger. As a child, I remember experiencing deep fear in the chaotic moments of my mother’s angry spells. I felt helpless and anxious, but I suppressed these emotions because of my fear of adding more intensity to my mom’s outbursts, […]
This poem by poet James McCrea may help you remember why we came to Earth.
These are wise words to embrace the human experience.
A reminder of our higher purpose in this crazy world.
This could be the manual we were all supposed to come with to this planet.
If we all understood these deep guidelines, the world would be a different place.
In the event that you wake up
and find your soul separated from Source
and manifest into material form, […]
Spiritual Bypassing or Spiritual Materialism, has become rampant lately in both religious and non-religious circles. But what is Spiritual Bypassing?
According to author Teal Swan, it is the practice of using spiritual beliefs to avoid facing or healing one’s painful feelings, unresolved wounds and unmet needs. It is a state of avoidance and therefore it is a state of RESISTANCE. […]
Eventually, everyone gets forgotten.
In just a few generations, no one will remember your name, your struggles, your achievements, or your failures. Whatever feels so important now will disappear completely.
So, why spend your precious time taking everything so seriously? Why worry about what others think? Why stress over small problems? Why care about mistakes that no one will remember?
Think about it. You’re living a temporary life on a tiny planet in an endless universe. […]
Intuition, often referred to as a “gut feeling,” is a powerful inner voice that guides us through life’s most challenging decisions and situations.
It is a natural instinct that has been honed over centuries of human evolution, providing us with a unique form of wisdom that transcends logic and reason.
Ignoring our intuition can lead to regrettable consequences. It’s that nagging feeling in the back of our minds, warning us of potential dangers or guiding us towards opportunities that may not be immediately apparent. […]
Grief is not just an emotion—it’s an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided.
In the beginning, it feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close. But over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains—a quiet reminder of what once was.
The truth is, you never truly “move on.” You move with it. […]
High-functioning anxiety is the quiet storm beneath a calm surface.
It’s when you’re crushing it—work, goals, life—but inside, your mind’s racing, overthinking every move, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
You look ‘fine,’ even thriving, yet you’re battling constant worry, perfectionism, rumination or that nagging need to stay busy.
It’s a hidden struggle where success masks the chaos—proof you can be high-achieving and still need a breather. You’re not alone in this; even the strongest carry silent weights. […]
The 4-7-8 breathing bechnique uses both nostrils. It is used to calm down anxiety and cravings, to speed metabolism, and to fall asleep.
You can also use it when your mind is racing. If you use it regularly for 3 or 4 weeks, you will notice phenomenal changes in your physiology.
Keeping your tongue on the upper ridge of your front teeth, inhale for 4 counts through your nose, hold the breath for 7 counts, […]
We are bombarded with expectations of being happy and generous, and sometimes we may feel inadequate and alone by feeling just the opposite. Such is the case with a client I have been mentoring lately who was going through moments of intense worry as the end of the year is approaching. […]
Holding space for someone simply means being present for them without judgment. It means allowing someone the time and freedom to feel, process and work through their emotions and experiences in their own way so they can heal.
When you hold space for someone, you listen openly and actively, offer empathy and understanding. You provide a safe container for them to be vulnerable.
You give them the freedom to feel, […]
