As much as I believe in the existence of soulmates, what I know for sure is the staying power of a solid and steady connection built over time, which can also happen with a soulmate.

This remains the safest place, where
we perfect the cosmic play…

As human beings, we are frequently presented with scenarios that test our values, principles, and how disciplined we are in following through on being the kind of person we want to be.

It’s not easy to choose kindness in every moment of our lives. Our world can be harsh and unforgiving, full of people who operate from survival mode desperate to take from others.

Empaths feel our way through life and have compassion for all living beings. When we give, we give genuinely without expectations in return. We need a special formula of success in a world that consists of mostly monetarily driven ecosystems.

Spiritual experiences are not that hard to have, but to incorporate it into a life that works so that it actually leads to transformation takes time, and you can’t really shortcut that process.

Excessive thoughts and feelings are often those suppressed, unorganized or unexpressed. If you find your thoughts overwhelming and uncontrollable then the first step is to get them out of your head and into the present moment.

The subject of forgiveness comes up often in conversation, but I find that when it comes to the details of what that truly entails, what that process feels like is not actually talked about.

Once I accepted that I will sometimes have dark and negative thoughts, I felt relieved to just be. I understood they don’t define me.

For millennia, the feminine energy has been seen as weak and inferior. As a result, it’s been suppressed and dismissed in many cultures and societies.

In our attention-deficit era, cultivating a new and lasting relationship may seem challenging or even impossible for many singles.

I was looking for a way to gain insights, a way to cultivate higher human capacity, and I chose to go to Zanskar, the oldest Buddhist valley in the world.

Simple, practical and applicable wisdom taught to us in childhood still stands in our sophisticated (and complicated) modern world. It seems to me, as I look around, many of us have forgotten these valuable lessons.

Meditation has really softened me without making me soft, in terms of my personal goals and aspirations. I don’t feel the need to be right or to convince other people to incorporate what I say into their lives.

In some way or another, we were all probably shamed for our sensuality or sexuality. We were all shamed for our innate, natural biological urges.

Happiness is one thing we cannot get enough of. We want happiness in all magnitudes and in all areas of our lives.

My family wasn’t exactly the normal everyday family that was simple, down to earth, and focused on being there for each other. Since our immigration to the U.S. my parents lost their stability and struggled very hard to reestablish themselves in a foreign country they knew nothing about.

Sometimes the very idea of permanence is what keeps us stuck in a loop of self-pity which perpetuates the feeling of loneliness.

The dictionary definition of loneliness simply states: Feeling sad or unhappy because one has no friends or company. However, anyone who has experienced more than a few days of loneliness can probably attest it’s never as simple and straightforward as that.
