Being in denial is a choice, though sometimes it’s not a conscious one. Many of us were taught how things are "supposed" to look and feel, so we cling to how things should be instead of facing how they actually are.

In Emptiness, there lies ultimate spiritual freedom. A soul, unbound, is free to access any dimension of consciousness. But does Emptiness have an application in the physical world, especially for those of us still experiencing the material plane here on Earth?

When his words guided us to visualize our bodies laying still, dying, my mind was on high alert, my emotions triggered, and I felt my body resisting his words and the experience. My mind had anticipated this dreaded moment and I was angry at its arrival, out of sheer fear of what I was going to feel next.

Our logic isn’t always reliable when faced with a decision that can affect our not-so-tangible faculties like our emotions, self-esteem or general well-being. Our mind could snap into survival mode to try and protect us from hurt and harm.

We have forgotten how to love and be loved, because love has become such a complicated matter. Many end up spending their life chasing the idea of love while putting up barriers to protect themselves from the pain of losing love.

During each occurrence, I found myself in a deep state of bliss, enveloped in an indescribable feeling of love, and crying tears of joy uncontrollably. I felt it from deep within, but also from above and around me.

Who are we?… It’s tempting to go identity-shopping and look for the answers outside of ourselves, but this way, we only end up building more layers on top of who we really are.

It is important to realize that our constant hunt for pleasure leaves us with a feeling of lack. Afterall, we wouldn’t be hunting for something else if there wasn’t something missing in the first place.

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.

Frequency and vibration is everything. Our body is made mostly of water. Vibroacoustic Therapy brings the water in our body to a harmonic resonance. There are harmful frequencies and there are healthy frequencies.

Having a little sanctuary to retreat to provides a sacred space and sets the tone for all mindful practices. No need to relocate to the high mountains or a remote island to feel peace and higher connections.

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.

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

I believe teachers become teachers because they’ve got something to offer, and I get great satisfaction helping others achieve their goals. Pretty soon that ripple becomes bigger and bigger and we create a world we really want to live in.
