You’ve probably heard about the Law of Attraction. Perhaps you’re skeptical because of its superficial, New Age connotations, expressed through phrases like “the power of positive thinking” and “like begets like.” But though the Law of Attraction has become a common concept in recent years, it’s also a profoundly misunderstood one.

Honestly speaking, we cannot imagine how our lives would be without meditation. As soon as we become still and quiet we enter a calm spaciousness within which questions are answered, while difference and dramas dissolve. Such stillness always comes as a great relief from the madness each day can contain. Some years ago we were [...]
The Master allows things to happen. She shapes events as they come. She steps out of the way and lets the Tao speak for itself. ~The Daodejing This has been what I’ve been learning over the past couple of years. Allowing things to happen. It goes counter to our usual instincts in Western society – [...]
“If you worry about what might be, and wonder what might have been, you will ignore what is.” — Unknown I envy those people who seem to breeze through life without a worry or care in the world. Most of these people must be faking it right? I’ve always been a worrier, even when I [...]

Based on a recent study from Kansas State University, the answer seems to be YES!!! Researchers followed 90 patients recovering from surgery and found that [...]
‘A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.’ ~Lao Tzu There is something about my mind, and many people’s minds, that is overly optimistic. We think we can do so much each day, and so we overplan. We fill our plans with so much, confident we can do it all, [...]
While going through my first Yoga teacher training one of our assignments was to “give an anonymous gift” to a fellow classmate. We were instructed to resist the temptation to give up our anonymity.
