Falling Forward: Embracing Vulnerability and Strength
As we started our downhill trek along the rocky path, I was entranced by the beautiful scenery around me. The rock formations in the canyon, the valley where grass was just beginning to turn green for spring—it all felt so alive. I was walking my dog, pausing occasionally for him to investigate curious scents along the trail. Admittedly, I wasn’t paying much attention to the path ahead. I was chatting and enjoying the peacefulness of the morning. I did notice the branch sticking out, but I dismissed it as a mere weed or broken stick.
I was wrong.

Finding Fulfillment: A Journey Through Self-Inquiry
This prompted me to explore the concept of fulfillment more deeply. According to the dictionary, fulfillment is defined as the fulfillment of a promise, completion, a contented feeling, and the achievement of a desire or promise. Inspired by this, I decided to delve into some self-inquiry questions to better understand the promises I’ve made to myself and what fulfillment truly means to me.

As the vernal equinox ushers in the dawn of a new season, we are invited to release the accumulated weight of winter's slumber and embrace the burgeoning light of awakening.
Mindfulness of the Emotional Body: A Guided Practice for Awareness & Healing
There is an intimate partnership between the weight we carry on the physical body and the weight we hold in our emotional body. The emotional body is part of the subtle energy field that surrounds us, directly connected to the chakras (energy centers), the aura, and the energy channels that run throughout our system.
Journaling — A Path to Awareness and Emotional Healing
Do you keep a diary or write in a journal? Many of us have half-filled journals lying around the house—beautiful covers with only a few pages written before the habit fades. For some, journaling feels like a chore. With busy schedules, carving out consistent time for writing can be difficult. Yet, much like meditation, journaling is one of the most powerful tools for self-awareness, emotional release, and creative flow.
The Power of Contemplation: Slowing Down to Discover Truth
In a world where most of us are conditioned to react instantly, contemplation invites us to pause, breathe, and consider. Rather than rushing into action from fear, stress, or ego, contemplation allows us to hold space for the situation, letting wisdom ripen before we act.
Even comedy captures this truth. In a classic Monty Python sketch, philosophers line up to play soccer. Instead of kicking the ball, they all stand still, stroking their chins, deep in thought. Finally, one philosopher has an idea, kicks, and scores. Funny—but also a perfect picture of what contemplation really is.
Forgiveness Practice for Healing Relationships
The idea of forgiveness has come up often in my sessions recently. Forgiveness is not about condoning someone’s behavior, nor is it about forgetting what has happened. It is about releasing the toxic energy of anger, resentment, and pain that keeps us bound to the past. True forgiveness creates space for healing, freedom, and compassion—both for ourselves and others.
