We begin today, by simply asking: What label have you attached to yourself lately? In our modern search for meaning. One’s essential task often becomes discovering who and what we are. In answering that often imposing question- WHY am I here and what is my meaning. My purpose- The search for clarity. Labels are what you call yourself in your head. They are tags that you attach to yourself to describe the person you think you are. And quite often, they are the outside views we can often feel ...

There is a well-worn adage: a time and place for everything- A time for work, a time for play, and especially- a time for rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. The all to important act of down time.

Yet often, one can get lost in the pale, a space between here and there, where we simply lose touch with ourselves. Where we get buried in the hustle. Join us as we explore the toll often pl...

Einstein tells us: “A human being is a part of the whole called by us- universe. A part limited in time and space, experiencing himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.“ He goes on to task us with freeing ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion by embracing all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. In this regard, it makes positive sense then, to cultivate our interconnectiv...

Author Michael Singer, In his book “The Untethered Soul” shares this sage advice- “There is nothing more important to true growth than realizing that you are not the voice of the mind - you are the one who hears it.” Michael goes on to add- “Only you can take inner freedom away from yourself, or give it to yourself. Nobody else can.” But what do we do when that inner voice of intuition has gone astray and is knocked off course by our unprocessed traumas and coping mechanisms when strong physic...
