Who are you? Those who walk a spiritual path know that humans are more than just a physical brain and body. In Buddhism, there is what we call, “The Right View.” Right View is the first of the eight-fold path which teaches on the wisdom view of reality. Reality from a Buddhist perspective looks at the nature of existence, our true nature as being empty, nonphysical, and simply pure energy consciousness. It examines the nature of suffering and how we create suffering, and the

The year 2022 shows us the number two which is about the duality of opposites: me/you, left/right, dark/light, right/wrong, as above so below and so on… This year we can expect to see duality reflected in our world with more division and polarization. There is a lot we will learn from this process if we are open to it. The Mayans say the Universe is made of duality. This is nature. But instead of resisting duality, they accept it. Because there is a deep appreciation for natu

I used to suffer from panic attacks, the ones that come on suddenly and make you feel like you can’t breathe, like you’re going to die. Ya, those kind. Back then I needed to know exactly how life was going to unfold. I spent a lot of time trying to prepare for all the “what iffs.” My mind would race day in and day out and going to sleep was a nightmare. I could never let go and relax, I was constantly trying to stay busy to avoid feeling my anxiety. Buddhist meditation change

You may have heard the term Spiritual Awakening, but what does it mean and how would you know you are having one? The notion of a Spiritual Awakening has been around for centuries and seen cross-culturally around the world. It has been called nirvana, enlightenment, or bliss, which begins when a person becomes more conscious and aware or “awake” to the experience of life. The idea of spiritual awakening was popularized by the famous analyst, Dr. Carl Jung, MD who described th

Every person is born with inherent gifts that are meant to be shared with humanity. The Golden Shadow Method helps us to discover our forgotten gifts and how to fearlessly share them with the world. The Shadow concept was created by the famous Swiss psychiatrist, Dr. Carl Jung, MD describing all that is hidden . The Shadow is the archetype of what is unseen, hidden and forgotten in the psyche. Most of us have disowned and repressed beautiful parts of ourselves into the uncons

Growing up, I did not know anything about the body’s ability to heal itself, body intelligence, or how the Mayan people say, “the body is the book of wisdom.” I had to unlearn and relearn so many things. For example, I had no idea that fevers are actually good for you. Growing up I was taught to be afraid of a fever, take tylenol and watch the fever like a hawk. Then in my training with shamans, I learned that a fever is like an internal fire that burns away the toxins and

Cutting-edge neuroscience is now confirming what shamans have known all along. Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to grow and organize itself, tells us we can create psychosomatic health. Biology is also telling us about epigenetics – our ability to modify our genetic expression through what we eat, drink, and breathe; through the thoughts we have, and the love that we experience in our lives. In fact, only 10 percent of our health or illness is influenced by our genes. The
