If someone asked you, “do you tell the truth all the time?” How would you answer it? The truth is that we’ve all lied at some point in our lives. But that doesn’t make us bad people. There are times when our circumstances make it difficult for us to tell the truth. Maybe you’ve made a promise to your friends to go to a movie but you forgot. You tell them instead that you were stuck in an important meeting so you don’t get to hurt their feelings. 

White lies, exaggerations, and self-denials all come with a shade of truth and falsehood. These are the things that most of us do every now and then, admittedly or not. And then we begin to wonder if telling the truth, even if it hurts people, is worth mentioning. Or would a lie that makes people happy be even more worth it? How do we choose what to do?

The importance of honesty has always been emphasized to everyone all the time that it somehow, it’s lost its meaning. In fact, whenever people...

We often find ourselves overwhelmed when it comes to thinking about how we can better take care of our health. We think about the right kinds of food to eat, what activities can keep us healthy, and how we can practice self-care more. 

While taking some time to disconnect from social media could mean achieving a kind of quiet that you deserve, you know that there is more to life than just that. All these are ways of expressing how much you love yourself, and they are necessary and vital in our survival. 

However, there is one kind of self-care that is often neglected, and that is acknowledging self-importance. It’s one crucial detail about loving ourselves that we often overlook. More than loving others, it is a must that we love ourselves more. 

Self-love is not about words. It is about the constant daily practice of showing how much you value yourself. Think about it. You drink eight glasses of water every day because you know it is right for your health. So...

Personal expansion requires continuing to advance yourself in a meaningful way every day. It is within this development that learning happens, and wisdom is gained. Wisdom (love in action) is what allows leaders like you to share and assist others in their journeys, authentically.

Complacency is many times confused for flow or ease. These are not the same things. A bit of friction in your life - challenging your beliefs, being flexible with your schedule, and being ruthless in your priorities - can bring about greater fulfillment.

Challenge your beliefs

We've all seen the preponderance of reasoning to, and methods for, changing beliefs. The rise of Law of Attraction has brought about an abundance of individuals inspiring us to do so, right into our social media streams.

Despite how overwhelmed we might be with so many people looking at our beliefs through different lenses - scientifically, spiritually, intuitively, historically, collectively...the facts do remain the same.

So...

Ever so often, people find themselves at a point where they start to question their purpose in life. On a daily basis, you are in a hurry to do things or be in places. But you know that there is something from deep within you that is waiting to be discovered. 

It is waiting to be found if only you are open to making things happen. 

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of doing something but not knowing why you are doing what you are doing? With all the distractions around and the pressure to always be at your best, it can be hard to determine what it is that you really want to do. 

Finding one's purpose in life can be tough, but it’s not something that you should feel bad about. Sometimes, all we need to learn is to enjoy the whole journey. In time, we will be able to determine the reason why we do what we do. 

Confronting Reality: “I don't know what to do with my life”

Do you really not know? Or are you too afraid to know what you truly...

What are you afraid of?

We all have something.  It might be really big or really small. Engaging with fear is a fundamental part of our evolution, and in mastering this process, we step closer to our truest nature.

So, we've created and have been utilizing this process to overcoming fears, and we'd like to share it with you.

Each step represents the primary task.  This is accompanied by a mantra to use in that step AND a more elaborate activity.

Here are the nine steps:

0. Center your self & set your intention

Mantra - I am.  I am here. I am calm.  I am happy.
Activity - Breathe.  

In through your nose, out through your mouth.  For at least a few minutes. You are attempting to get INTO your body, not escape it.  The process of overcoming/integrating fears is done from within, not from without. Focus on your breathe.  Feel your body. In and out. Feel your heart beating. Allow ANY THOUGHTS to drift past you. This pre-step is about having...

When was the last time that you felt that you are in total control of your life? Do you still feel like your reality at the moment is the same one you recognize in your mind? In between the glorification of keeping a fast-paced life and the constant desire to check on social media, you must have felt ungrounded a couple of times more often than you think. But what does it mean to be grounded in the first place?

What is Grounding?

Being energetically grounded requires your inner chakra to be healthy and balanced. This means that your physical, emotional, and mental states should all be in one place, thinking practically of the same goals. When you feel strongly connected to the Earth, the more stable you become. 

Do you find yourself at ease going through all the tasks you have for the day? If you are filled with fears and worries, but they quickly fade away, then it means you are on the right track. You will feel safe, protected and that inner being inside of you is totally at...

Before I get into the content of this article, I want you to know first of all that I am not making this article to over-exaggerate any information to gain personal benefit from the hype around the coronavirus.

I am here to offer you a practical down to Earth guide based on my blueprint to stay connected with my inner guidance as well as my most empowered state during this collective upheaval. And before I get into the practical ways, you can ground yourself and utilize this time for positive growth, and I want to explain first-first how I am gaining perspective on this situation at hand.  

This article will explore two main subjects: 

Number One: How you can start to gain a broader view of this situation, outside of the many binary and dualistic standpoints.

Number Two: How you can alchemize this situation through your mind, body, and spirit. 

So let's start with number one. It will be essential to stay open to all views. Let me explain.

There are many different...

If you can have a superpower, what would it be? Some would probably answer incomparable strength while others would dream of having the power to fly. But what if your superpower is your ability to love yourself in a super kind of way? 

Having good self-esteem is like having a superpower that nobody else can take from you. It is not something that needs to remain in your imagination. In fact, it is the only kind of superpower that anyone can have at any given place and time. 

It's incredible how much self-love can do you good. Self-love is the best love you could give to yourself. It is like your shield of protection from all the negativity and hatred in the world. But when you don't love yourself as much as you should, the feeling can be frightening, exhausting, and sometimes it makes everything seem impossible. 

I love myself. Say this over and over and remind yourself how much you do. 

There is nothing more important in this world than self-love. The act of...

Do you have a sink full of dishes or several piles of laundry? Do you have an excellent idea for a book but just can’t get started? Is there a big garden or house project that you have been meaning to do, but you “never have the time?”

More than likely, you’re using a combination of procrastination and rationalizations to avoid getting things done.

“But, I just don’t have the time!” “I have so much to do!” “You don’t know my life!”

Dear reader, I guarantee that you do have time. I promise that, even though you may have things to do, you hold some responsibility in your perceived lack of opportunities to be productive.

Worry not! We can overcome rationalization and procrastination, and we need to be able to identify what they are and put steps into place to help us stay out of our own way.

What Are Rationalizations?

When we are avoiding something, we tend to rationalize, meaning that we come up with excuses not...

If you were offered a pill that would make you healthier and happier, would you go for it? Would you be interested in a magic potion that promises to make you more productive and optimistic? 

Perhaps you have wished for something like it in the past. In fact, whenever you look at the pile of laundry or the messy house that your kids left after play, you wondered if there was any kind of magic that will take care of all of it for you. 

Maybe you have complained about how little time you have for yourself or wished you had more time to do what you want in a day. Those may seem like wishful thinking, but it happens to every one of us, more often than we think. 

It may be sad to know that there is no potion or magic or a pill that could make everything right in this lifetime. However, little do people know that there is something about them that they could use. It is something better than what magic could ever do. It’s that little power inside every person that...
