Healing does not begin with being cured. Healing begins with recognition and acknowledgement. The recognition of ourselves as creator beings, and the acknowledgement that it falls to us to develop a conscious relationship — with ourselves, with one another, and with everything around us that...
When two people come into each other’s presence, a conversation begins long before words are formed. We scan each other—not just with our eyes, but with our entire energy system. Consciously and subconsciously, we read posture, breath, tone, and the subtle frequencies that radiate from...
Almost no one grows up with the awareness that, as human beings, we create our own reality. Most of us learn precisely the opposite. We learn that life happens to us, that circumstances determine how we fare, that other people hold power over our inner...
Free will may well be one of humanity’s most cherished sacred cows. We build our legal systems upon it, our morality, our very identity. “I chose.” “It was my decision.” The notion that we autonomously steer the course of our lives is deeply embedded in...

From a young age, we learn how to become someone. We adapt, develop strategies to survive and belong, and do our best to meet the world’s expectations. Yet in our attempts to find ourselves, we often drift further away from what we already are at...
Long-term change is one of the hardest things we can attempt. In a very real sense, many of us have become addicts—not necessarily to substances, but to the ways we have conditioned ourselves to survive. Our upbringing, traumas, genetic coding, family dynamics, even echoes of...
In human relationships, an invisible stage often sets the scene for our struggles. On it plays a recurring drama called the triangle—a cycle of three roles: victim, perpetrator, and savior. This model, first described by Stephen Karpman, shows how easily we become entangled in patterns...
