In the journey of life, we often encounter challenges and setbacks that can test our strength and determination. While it's natural to want things to go smoothly, it's the hurdles we overcome that truly shape us.

This stress may manifest as family or relationship problems, serious health problems, problems in the workplace, or financial problems, just to name a few. While some people have a seemingly natural capacity to bounce back from adversity, others do not. But resilience can be learned and increased.

Once mastered, resilience will serve you well throughout your life. You can always draw upon your past...

Unspoken Words and Their Energy: Unspoken words refer to the thoughts and emotions we keep to ourselves, suppressing their expression in order to maintain social harmony or avoid confrontation.

In a fast-paced and demanding world, the concept of surrender may seem counterintuitive. We are constantly encouraged to take control, pursue success, and strive for more. However, there is immense power in the art of letting go and embracing surrender.

Surrender means we let go of how we think things have to be and allow the Creator to be in charge of our lives. We surrender, accept that sometimes life is unfair, imperfect, painful and it hurts, and we accept this as part of the ride.

In this blog post, we will delve into the true meaning of surrender and explore how it can bring us liberation, peace, and a deeper connection with ourselves and others.

• The Illusion of Control: We often cling to the belief that having control over every aspect of our lives will lead to happiness and fulfillment. However, this illusion can create unnecessary stress and restrict our growth. By examining the limitations of control, we can begin to open ourselves up to the possibilities that surrender...

In our daily lives, it's easy to fall into familiar patterns and routines. While they offer comfort and stability, they can also become limiting and hinder personal growth. Breaking out of these patterns is essential for self-discovery, embracing new experiences, and fostering personal development.

My own personal example is the familiar pattern of anger that really pulls me under. Being in the healing world for 30 plus years and doing healing sessions, I somehow grew up to understand in myself that I'm a peace bringer, and I'm a medicine person, and I don't really allow myself anger.

It’s going to be your very own, it could be fear, it could be indecisiveness, it could be worrying, but it's something that seems to be your go-to, and it sucks you right in. One of the ways is to imagine there's a pathway in front of you, and you've got a wheelbarrow, and you're moving it down the same pathway every day. There's going to be a groove created in that path in front of you, and then...

Patience refers to the ability to endure and persist through the various challenges, setbacks, and uncertainties that arise during the creative process. It encompasses a mindset of calmness, perseverance, and trust in the journey of bringing an idea to fruition.

However, our life inherently presents us with countless opportunities to develop and cultivate this essential quality.

So, how does our life create and allow us to build patience?

A lot of times in life, things come up and we say things like “I need patience” or “I need to learn some patience.” When you say these things repeatedly in your life, Creator or Divine intelligence provides you with situations that make you have to learn patience. 

Through the flow of challenges and blessings, we can learn to embrace patience as a guiding force that brings about personal growth and resilience.

• Embracing the Journey: Life is a tapestry woven with intricate threads of experiences, both joyous and...

In today's fast-paced and materialistic world, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of more—more money, more possessions, more achievements. However, true happiness and fulfillment lie not in the accumulation of external things, but rather in cultivating a sense of contentment and gratitude for what we already have. This mindset shift can lead us to live a life of abundance.

Sometimes perfectionism gets in the way of contentment in life. Most of the time we tend to be in such a go-go mode in our life and looking at what we are doing next or what we have to handle. We multitask because there are multiple things on our plate. All of this takes away our ability to really truly be in the moment. Aside from that, when we are in a moment or event that is happening and we are in-charge and a perfectionist, then we are always looking for how the situation can be  better.

Contentment is the art of finding satisfaction and peace within ourselves, regardless of external...
