In his profound work, “A New Earth,” Eckhart Tolle illuminates the path to liberation from suffering through a four-step process.
At the core of his teachings, lies the recognition that resistance is the root cause of our affliction, while acceptance paves the way to freedom.
The first step on this transformative journey is to become aware of the present moment. Tolle emphasizes the importance of cultivating a heightened state of consciousness, […]

A Nurturing Mothering Presence in your Life
This week, I invite you to take a moment to contemplate what your mother is /was like. What is/was your relationships with your mother like? What important lessons have you learned from her?
No relationship is perfect, of course. I’m sure there were some challenges, and some very beautiful moments you two spent together.
Some of us have a “mother wound.” I had a very tumultuous relationship with my mother growing up. We both had some great times together but also many moments that left profound emotional scars in me. […]
Glimmers in Everyday Life
Glimmers are small moments or experiences that bring us a sense of calm, joy, or connection, often in the midst of stress or anxiety.
And let’s be real, there is a lot of stress and anxiety in this world right now.
These could be as simple as a beautiful sunset, the sound of birds chirping, or the warmth of a comforting hug.
They are the opposite of “”triggers””—things that heighten our stress or anxiety—and instead serve as gentle reminders of safety and peace. […]
The Greatest Burden
“The greatest burden a child must bear is the unlived life of the parents.”
It’s a heavy truth. When parents don’t chase their dreams or heal their wounds, the weight of their unresolved issues often falls on their kids.
When parents have unresolved issues, unfulfilled hopes, unspoken regrets, or suppressed passions, they often unconsciously project them on to their children.
This can create a lot of pressure for the son or daughter to fulfill what his/her parent could not. […]
Challenges & Personal Growth
Challenges are the fuel for growth, progress, and learning. When we are in the midst of a challenge, we usually feel overwhelmed & discouraged.
We fear that things will never change, that we do not have the resources to navigate the difficulties.
Remembering that things do not happen to us, that they happen FOR us, helps us to take a different perspective.
It may look horrible right now; you may feel that this “winter” in your life will never go by. […]
Holding Space for Someone
Counselors, mentors are facilitators. They guide you on your journey. Rather than fixing or curing someone, a healer holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer, so that you may heal yourself.
Essentially, true healing comes from within. A healer cannot directly heal another person. Their role is to create an environment and provide support that allows the other person to access their own inner resources and capacity for self-healing. […]
How do you Fix Conflict?
Ever wonder why some couples fall apart after a few years while others seem to grow even stronger?
It’s not because they never fight. It’s because they know how to repair.
Unresolved conflict isn’t just a disagreement—it leaves behind emotional wounds.
Over time, those wounds stack up. Small issues turn into major resentments. Emotional safety erodes.
And eventually, partners start feeling like roommates instead of lovers.
Here’s what people get wrong:
💥 They assume time will heal the issue. […]
When you are Feeling Sad or Overwhelmed
Have you ever felt like you’re drowning in a sea of emotions, and no matter how hard you try to stay afloat, the waves just keep crashing over you? It’s a tough place to be, and I get it – we’ve all been there.
But here’s the thing: just like we wouldn’t hesitate to see a doctor if we had a nasty case of the flu, we shouldn’t hesitate to seek help when our mental health is suffering. […]
Being Different was your Strength All Along
Just imagine the 6-year-old, full of wonder and possibility. At that age, we’re all unique little snowflakes, right? Our quirks and differences are what make us special. But as we get older, society starts trying to put us all in these neat little boxes.
Conform, conform, conform – that’s the message we get from all angles. But you know what? That’s a load of malarkey! Our individuality, our ability to think outside the box, […]
Progress isn’t Always Loud
Do you ever feel like you’re working your butt off but not getting anywhere? Like you’re putting in all this effort, but the progress just isn’t as loud and obvious as you’d hope?
I get it, I really do. We live in a world that celebrates the big, flashy wins. The overnight successes and viral moments. But here’s the thing – real, lasting progress? That’s rarely a screamingly loud affair.
More often than not, […]
