Mind Is Mine

 "Our separation from each other is an optical illusion" -Albert Einstein Our reality is filled with many different paradoxes and illusions, but none are as misleading as the illusion of separation. All our lives we've been taught that we're separate from our environment and are at a constant struggle against our surroundings. When I say surroundings, I don't just mean the place in where an individual is at but also the people and things that occupy that space. Today, we always are at odds with our surroundings and, in turn, create our own blockages from ultimate unity with all of existence. In this post, we explore the effects of separation consciousness, how it limits us from true power and potential and how we can escape the illusion of separation.  Unity Consciousness When you begin the Spiritual path, or the pathless path, you begin your realization that all things are connected. Everything is everything! This realization is the force that awakens tranquility...

  "At first you may think that sadhana is a limited part of your life. In time you realize that everything you do is part of your sadhana." - Ram Dass For those along the spiritual path, we're always looking for ways to deepen our connection with Self and all of existence. We understand how important the feeling of peace and oneness is towards our well-being and soul evolution. Despite this understanding, it can be tricky to find the practices in which helps us achieve these states and staying consistent with them as well. In this post, we explore the necessity behind sadhana and how impactful it can be towards our journey to wholeness and our karmic cycles.  Sadhana in Sanskrit refers to one's spiritual practice/discipline. Sadhana acts as our tool for greater oneness and realization of the spiritual truth that lies within us and all things. With that being said, it's important to know that ANYTHING can be our sadhana! The way we talk, the way we move, the way we...

I'm not perfect. No one is. However, I've found a sense of gratitude and growth through facing my imperfections and turning them into lessons for myself and others, especially those on the spiritual path. One thing I must admit is that I struggle with the consistency needed to fulfill my dedication to the spiritual path. I'm sure I'm not the only one with this issue. However, this issue can resonate for the ones that have a certain desire to bring about something in their lives but struggle to be consistent with it.  It can be tough to wake up in the morning and go about my routine to promote a well energized day. I usually wake up before or right at dawn, shower, meditate, write, stretch and get a workout in before I head to work. Throughout the day and going into the evening, I like to write down any ideas towards future endeavors and listen to podcasts or audiobooks. However, lately it's been tough for me especially when it pertains to my spiritual path and growt...

Relationships in the human experience are one of the most important aspects of life. We all seek them instinctively and that's completely normal and what's right. Our culture and society today could never be if it wasn't for the relationships we made in the past and even today. One thing I've noticed, however, is that within all our relationships (past, present and future), there lies a greater possibility. A possibility of personal and collective transcendence. For us to awaken to those possibilities and opportunities of growth, we must shift our understanding of what relationships mean and why we have them in the first place. Not just relationships of boyfriend/girlfriend or marriage, but the relationships with families, friends, the workplace, nature and everything that's part of the environment around us and, most importantly, within us.  Reimagining the Meaning of Relationships When you hear the word "relationship", what comes to mind? Picture it. Man...

Today, as individuals and as a collective, adversity is a constant we all face in this world. Many of us, however, want to avoid the challenges life brings us and to take the easy route to success or to solve any problems. This cannot be the case, especially when we face challenges towards certain goals we desire to accomplish. Perhaps the problem isn't the challenges and obstacles but rather our perception of adversity and what it truly is. If adversity is a constant, no matter who or where you are, then it must serve a purpose by some means.  What if I told you, no matter the challenge you face, adversity has a purpose within our lives? That it may be a tool for growth rather than something to bring us down? Adversity comes in many shapes and sizes. You could have relationship issues with family or a significant other that causes arguments and disagreements. You could be facing challenges within the workplace when work becomes stressful or not seeing eye to eye with coworkers or ...

You are in control of your own narrative!  When we think of the word 'storytelling', our mind often goes straight to stories out of books, films, plays and even games we play. But what we must realize is the fact that as we live our lives, we are creating the story of who we are and our destinies in real time! To realize this also helps us become aware that we are co-creators of this reality, objectively and subjectively. We, as individuals and a unit, continuously help create God's creation. As we help God write the story of the cosmos and the material reality, God helps in the development of our story.  God, being the deepest part of us, is the creator of all things, including ourselves. It is our natural ambition and duty to create since God lives within us. Whether it be art, new ideas, problem solving, and even just becoming a better person, our desire to create is always active. If you aren't creative, then you aren't human! Every human being has the superpowe...
