The Creative Flower of Expression..
Where does expression come from? Creation is life, and expression is its birthright. It is primal and instinctual. It is a biological impulse and the oldest language that needs no words.

Why Coloring is Good for Your Soul..
There are moments when life asks us to slow down, not because we must stop, but because our nervous system is asking us to care.

Intention..
How does intention interlace the fabric of a desire? We may ask ourselves, what role does an intention play in translating desire into the physical world? We often get lost in romanticizing the idea of something we do not have. We carry a wish, an aspiration, a desire. Our wishing for something nevertheless suggests we have yet to achieve to materialize it. The distance between a desire and an intention is, in principle, similar to the distance between a dream and a goal. It

Relationship to oneself..
The most important relationship we can have in this world is the one with ourselves. We are often so entangled in our relationships with others that we seldom take time to analyze the relationship we have with ourselves. Many of us exert so much effort to please others, to accommodate, to give and to love - just to deplete our source of energy. We give so much of ourselves away to control our surroundings, earn our worth, and ultimately somehow justify our existence. Why do

What's it like to be a man?
The perhaps paradoxical nature of a woman's opinion. This may differ a bit from my other articles but those of you who follow "Bashar" (Darryl Anka) know his motto of “Follow your highest excitement”, and as this subject graced my mind I felt an instant inkling to write about this. Ha! You may say to yourself.. What does a woman know about what it is to be a man? What's it like on the side of the Mars? Can you even notice all the way from Venus, woman? Well, I am a woman.

The Snow Globe Way..
How can we achieve the calmness of a "Snow Globe"? How can we become the observer, be present, and simply enjoy the scenery? Why does the reflection of our experience elude the thought process that created it? Our mind is like a "Snow Globe". It can be calm and still, serene, and peaceful. It can “just be”.. Likewise, our experiences reflect this environment precisely as does synchronicity; the organizing principle of this Universe, when answering the divine call of our wishe

Faith..
How do we keep hope and connect through faith during times of uncertainty? How do we surrender to the unknown? Everything we do in our life requires a degree of faith. Nature all around us operates under the faith of becoming. The seed grows in the dark knowing it will reach the light. The baby bird fledges the nest knowing it will fly. The moon goes to sleep knowing faithfully the sun will rise. The surrender in nature occurs because there is no resistance of mind. Its prese

Acceptance..
How can we surrender to the resistance within us? How can we become more accepting and less fearful? We can begin by asking ourselves what stands in our way. What stands in the way of our desires? What prevents us from reaching for the stars, and making our wishes come true? No matter the question, if our desire has not come to fruition as of yet; then the answer would most likely encompass some type of resistance. Often we direct our focus toward the unwanted and therefore a

Spiritual Clarity..
How can we reach the clarity of mind, and allow solutions to reveal themselves to us instead of using mental force to resolve a problem? How can we find answers to our questions? In a world filled with chaos, noise, and distractions - finding clarity, peace, and harmony can seem like a distant dream. Nevertheless, the path towards clear understanding of our journey can not only be found but most importantly can be deeply transformative. Imagine finding the map to answers

Emotions..
How can we govern our emotions and the natural instinctive state of our mind? How do we pay heed to what truly matters.. Instinctively emotion is a state we all experience, share, and embody. It is something we get to experience silently and intimately. We experience emotions in solitude, yet it connects us collectively. It impresses on our heart, it shapes our awareness and connects us with higher consciousness. When we think of the word "emotion", it may elicit a poignant t

Being Present..
How can we achieve the state of mindfulness in the world full of distractions? We are so distracted by "being busy" in our everyday lives that we often lose awareness of our energy being scattered, thus attracting more chaos our way. Our inner world becomes disconnected from the true meaning of our existence as we reach for outward stimuli, and slowly allow our spirit to fade through the many shades of a distraction. Whether this is to fill a void or compensate for our experi

Energy and Thoughts..
How do our thoughts and energy create our experience? How does our mind create matter? "Energy is what makes up this Universe. Our mind, albeit to most of us seeming as that of matter, is a source of dynamic energy through which the thoughts we emanate create the landscape of our experience." ~Vendula Kalinova How does all of this work and why should we pay heed to how we think, what frequency do we tune into, what do we resonate out into the Universe, and what kind of c
