You’ve heard this before. Peace is every step. Peace is in your heart. Peace is your true nature. Why don’t you feel it? What is the block to being peaceful? Feeling peaceful? All the time or at least, more often than not. I believe that in our busy westernized world, we have lost touch with […]
I recently read a comment on Facebook that said, “You just love until you and the beloved become one.” This comment got me thinking. There is a Jewish mantra, Ani L’Dodi,v’Dodi Li — that translates to “I am My Beloved’s, and My Beloved is Mine.” This is romantic, yet at the same time shows possession […]
In the current chaos we find our world in, more and more people are seeking a more peaceful existence. Or at least to somehow extricate oneself from the external madness, and to dive into a more serene (hopefully) internal world. Mindfulness meditation is a popular tool for this as it brings the person to the […]
In this current age of constant usage of multi media tools simultaneously: phones, computers, iPads, and T.V., plus work, plus family, multitasking has become a way of life for Western society. Slowing down and smelling the roses has become a sentiment of the past. Perhaps reserved for retirees, yet many of them are working through […]
I went to an art gallery today and I was so moved by many of the pieces I viewed. These artists were truly divinely inspired to create such incredible works.

Spring is here. You’re three months into your New Year’s resolutions, one of them being to start meditating. Your PC has said that you need to “take your stress levels down a few notches”, your significant other is complaining about you being unfocused when together, and there are times at work you drift off, with […]
In a society obsessed with love, finding Mr. Right or Ms.Right is at the forefront of most people’s minds. The dating sites, reality T.V., and everyday life compel us to ask these questions: How do I find true love? How do I know that the love I have is the true love of my […]
“Love is passion. Obsession. Someone you can’t live without. Someone you fall head over heels for. Find someone you can love like crazy, and will love you the same way back. Listen to your heart. No sense in life without this. To make the journey without falling deeply in love, you haven’t lived a life […]
We find ourselves at the beginning of yet another year enlivened with a variety of vows and disciplines that we swear we will adhere to. We do pretty darned well for a couple of weeks. Then, complacency may set in, maybe it gets too tough to maintain, or perhaps life itself gets in the way. […]
