Yoga is not just about being able to put your foot behind your ear, although the physical aspect of flexibility is important-just recently I fell off the kitchen counter onto the tile floor, and my flexibility, strength and quick reaction probably saved me from a broken hip. But there is so much more to yoga than just the poses that we all know and see.
The most important part of yoga is to lea ...
Why are we holding back? Is it because we are afraid of failure or rejection? Fear of our own possible success? Because we may feel unworthy? Is it the 'Cinderella complex'? Well, it's time for Cinderella to crawl out of the ashes and SHINE.
Who am I to dream of success? Were you raised to just be average? Who told you to not stand out? Many of these limiting beliefs are deeply rooted in us as ...
How do we deal with death? Some of us believe in life after death, some don't. I had a sad conversation with a dear friend yesterday. He told me that he is severely ill and per his doctors he has a maximum of two years to live. The illness is very aggressive, there is no known cure currently available.

It could be many d ...
While talking to a close friend last night I realized that there is a part 2 to my earlier email about Soul Connections - (thank you my friend - for inspiring me to delve into this topic a little bit deeper)
Soul Connections Part 2
Very few people have the privilege and honor to have a deep soul connection to another the way I described earlier; but those who do know exactly what a profound ...
Have you ever met someone and instantly you feel a deep connection with them, you discover similarities in your lifestyles, likes/dislikes, the way you think and act and you KNOW that you know this person, although it's the first time you ever met?
Sometimes there is an 'atmosphere' that feels charged, ripe with energy that you cannot explain. Sometimes it feels like you have known this person fo ...
First off there are many levels of friendship and the word 'friend' is sometimes used very lightly. I believe a true friend is very rare. True friendship means 100% trust in each other, knowing that they would do anything for each other, even if it would mean giving up one's life for each other.
