Do You Want to Be Right?
Or do you want peace? If you want peace, an easy way to achieve this is to release what you are holding onto as correct in your mind. Often, we spend so much of our energy defending our identity.

Meditation 101
Meditation has been an almost daily practice of mine for more than a year now. I feel like it has helped me in ways that I couldn’t have possibly imagined.

Choose What You Want to Feel
It really is fascinating how spiritually primitive we are as humans. Somewhere inside of you is a calm and unwavering infinite soul that knows the meaning of life and how to live.
