MEDITATION

Reflecting on your life is a powerful skill to have. It instills a sense of gratitude, self-love and appreciation for everything you’ve been doing for yourself… instead of always focusing on what you’re yet to achieve.

TRAVEL

The major negative effect of traveling? Jet lag. Our bodies were not designed to travel such long distances in such short times. The good news is the following tips will greatly minimise if not eliminate jet lag all together.

POETRY

When darkness comes, embrace it with open arms. When the shadow is revealed, bring it into your light. The pain in our hearts is the feeling of realisation. That possibly we’re not as free as we once thought.

VEDIC WISDOM

But that doesn't mean I wasn't becoming a mother. Because in my 20's I got to work raising my SELF. My own parents did a great job getting me to independence, but there was still a lot of deepening of my sense of self, unlearning, letting go and refining to be done.

MEDITATION

This is a post inspired by a friend who I taught Vedic meditation to last year. Last week, he wrote a Facebook post that said he had been meditating for 307 days. Someone then commented saying, "Tell us what changes you've noticed after so much meditation?" This is what he said…

VEDIC WISDOM

I use to think life was something to be ‘worked out’. Like if I got everything ‘right’ or had all the ‘pieces’ in front of me. I could put it all together and then finally, finally... I would feel like I had done it. I would be complete. I would be whole. I would be safe.

Chances are, if you’ve been meditating or engaging in other healthy lifestyle practice AND are a human being living in this modern world, you probably heard one or more of these comments before…

VEDIC WISDOM

Over the years, whenever I have been faced with a problem, a challenge, a confusion, a triggering experience, I would always ask myself…

POETRY

Over the years

I have found

That taking time

To be alone

POETRY

I have learnt

Over the years

That pain

Although painful

Is full of wisdom too.

MEDITATION

Recently, I met someone that I knew straight up, was out of the ordinary, yet somehow was strangely familiar. It struck within me that infrequent state of fear, nausea and self doubt when your heart opens; or what I like to call the mind warp.

TRAVEL + MEDITATION

Each time I come to Bali, I always go to the ancient Sebatu waterfall temple dedicated to Shiva. It’s a powerful purification experience as you wade knee deep along a small river to this thundering waterfall that comes pouring out of slick black rock.

INTERVIEW

Here’s an interview I did about meditation and India with Julia Ashwood from The Vista… a unique travel guide for the modern nomad. The Vista is a beautifully styled showcase of inspirational people, unique destinations, carefully curated travel guides.

TRAVEL

I woke up at 2am this morning to go to the Vishwanath Temple, also known as the Jytotirlinga Shiva Temple, in Varanasi. It’s usually only open to Hindus and they make it a challenge for foreigners to get in.
