When we immerse ourselves in the energy of gratitude, it not only fills our being and soul, but begins to ripple out around us.
Emotional abuse is an insidious presence in many relationships, often leaving deep, invisible scars.
When I was barely 28, I learned that an underlying health condition had essentially thrust me into menopause in my twenties.
Understanding where unhappiness comes from gives us a clearer sense of what ingredients we need in our lives to make us happy.
Many people are lonely on Valentine’s Day more than they’d like to be, and the imagery of hearts, kisses, roses, boxes of candy, cards, etc., can drum up old feelings of shame and abandonment fear.
Journeying to the center of the self is not an end, but a beginning of an increasing compassion and energy output toward the world. If we can slow down global warming, and yet do not come together to take action to prevent it, then we are abandoning ourselves and each other.
To achieve a goal, you probably have to borrow the time and energy from something you’re currently doing – some passive pleasure to which you’ve become habituated (addicted). What might that be?
One of the great joys of my life is collecting stories of the ways soulmates meet and come together. It’s pretty empowering to realize that even the most mystical, magical encounters required the soon-to-be lovers to take action—to deliberately put themselves in the “right place at the right time.”
Love has been described as an intangible connection between two people that feels exceptionally good and yet, the word and experience of love, cannot be easily defined.
There is wild, crazy “being in love,” and there is the love of a child, friends, family, pets, co-workers, neighbors, community, etc. Then there is “divine love” and connection to God, Goddess or whatever higher power you subscribe to.
If you are seeking to feel loved, cherished, adored, supported with a devoted partner, the truth is there are many potential partners if you eliminate things that truly will not contribute to your long-term happiness because meditation and yoga and working on yourself relentlessly are zero indication of someone’s actual values.
My belief is that there can be great attraction from opposites as long as there is also connection, compatibility, chemistry, clear communication and a shared vision for the future with that person.
