In last week’s article, I discussed why our world is in chaos. The reason for this is that most of humanity is too focused on their external circumstances and world than their inner world. It is our inner world, beyond thoughts, emotions and our personal stories, that needs to be revealed and cultivated in order […]

Does it seem like our world is slipping deeper into chaos? Pandemics, wars, climate change, inflation, political turmoil are just some of the topics that have filled news headlines lately. However, it is not just global chaos but individual turmoil and uncertainty as people struggle with chronic diseases, which are on the rise globally, strained […]

Have you ever considered setting a goal and then talked yourself out of it because you did not think it was achievable? How about working towards something that seems impossible? Let me illustrate this through a recent experience. I have a friend, who is heavily into cycling and he got me into it last year. I was […]

  Do you remember when you were a child? Do you remember endless days exploring the woods near your home or biking beyond your neighbourhood? Do you remember trying a new sport or opening a new toy that you got for your birthday? This was the time in our lives when we are infinitely curious […]

Most people, at some point in life journey, seek to change something about themselves. This can be in any aspect of their lives including their health and fitness, their relationships, their finances and their careers. The fact is that change is very difficult, especially when it involves creating new habits, something I have discussed in other articles. Changing your […]

  Does it seem like there is more uncertainty in the world than before? Pandemics, wars, political corruption, climate change, inflation, and that is just scratching the surface. The truth is that uncertainty has always been our companion from the time of the Crusades right up to the recent World Wars. Even in recent decades, the […]

What is the single most important thing you can do to dramatically improve the quality of your life? It is exactly what I just did. Ask questions. There is a saying that the quality of your life is directly proportional to the quality of the questions that you ask. This is why you should, not only […]

Why are we so mesmerized by fame? Not a day goes by that we don’t hear some story about a famous actor, musician, athlete or politician that sucks us in with full attention. It does not matter what the story is and it could be as irrelevant as something they were wearing but we still get drawn […]

Does it seem like more people are worrying about more things most of the time? We’ve survived the COVID 19 pandemic, there is war raging Ukraine, not to mention the ongoing war in Syria, climate change is accelerating and we’re in the midst of economic uncertainty and inflation. People are also dealing with issues on […]

Everyone is seeking something whether it is better health and fitness, a more loving relationship, financial independence, a meaningful career, to name a few. It is important to have goals because, without them, you will stagnate. The problem arises when we compare ourselves to others. You see, we tend to measure ourselves by those around us who […]

    There is never enough time. This is a common theme I hear from people everywhere. There is so much that needs to be done and so little time to do it that most people become lost in the quagmire of mundane tasks and do not move the needle on accomplishing what really matters. […]

When is the last time you did something just for yourself? If it was today or yesterday then you are way ahead of most. The problem is that most people think of others first and themselves last. Life is challenging enough but why make it harder than it has to be? It does not matter […]

How does one redefine themselves? As we emerge from the chaos of the pandemic and how tumultuous it has been on our lives, many people are questioning themselves and their priorities. They are reexamining their careers and whether they want to spend the rest of their lives doing what they have been doing. They are […]

I’ve been discussing ways to manage stress in the last few articles and today I’d like to discuss one of the most important factors in mitigating our stress, which is our sleep. Sleep is the most important aspect of maintaining your overall health and is vital to managing stress as most people, easily, spend one third of their life […]

There are many reasons for people’s stress these days as a lot has changed in the world in the last several years. We have lived through the worst of the COVID 19 pandemic, we are feeling the effects of climate change, economic inflation is rampant and the war in Ukraine shows no signs of ending. These […]

Change can be intimidating and daunting. A lot has changed on a global scale over the last two years through the pandemic including how we work, how we interact with teach other, how we do business. Much has changed in people’s personal lives as well with relationships being strained and challenged, people being laid off […]

In last week’s article I discussed a simple breathing technique to help you deal with stress in the moment. This is great when you are suddenly anxious but we need strategies to handle stress over the long run. This next series of articles is going to address this issue, the first of which is nutrition.   What we […]

Many of you are dealing with a lot of fear and anxiety. Much of this is related to chronic health issues, financial issues, concerns about your children’s future and the general state of the world with the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and climate change, to name a few of the issues plaguing humanity. It is easy […]

Life is very complex in this day and age and we all face constant challenges in our daily lives. This is unlikely to change as it is the nature of life on this planet. The difference between someone who struggles through their challenges and someone who navigates them with ease is being in the flow. Being […]

I hope you’re all enjoying this journey to entering the flow. I’m going to continue this theme around the topic of your life story. Everybody has a life story and it is the sum of your past experiences that have brought you to this point in your life, regardless of where you are now. We all have happy moments in […]

This is the second part of an article series on flow and emotions. In last week’s article. In last week’s article I introduced the concept of emotions and how they are the way we communicate with our Higher Self. In this sense, emotions are a sort of language and do not represent reality itself. Let’s […]

  I hope you are enjoying this new series of articles on entering the flow. We’ve already discussed the subconscious mind, our thinking and our beliefs and how we can use these to enter the flow. Now let’s enter the realm of emotions. Emotions are complex entities to define. Essentially, they are the language of the soul and […]

In the last few articles, I’ve started discussing the power of thought and how we can use it to enter the flow. In the last article, I specifically discussed how to eliminate limiting beliefs and how to reframe them into empowering beliefs, which is an important skill if we want to live happy, healthy and […]

  In the last few articles I’ve started talking about the concept of flow, and I introduced the concept of thought and how most of our thoughts are negative and programmed in our subconscious mind from early childhood. One of the ways in which negative thoughts manifest are in the form of limiting beliefs. A limiting belief […]

I’d like to introduce you to the first step to entering the flow, which is your thoughts. Our thoughts originate from our minds but few people understand the inner workings of their mind. The fact of the matter is that we have anywhere from 50 to 70 thousand thoughts a day, most of which are negative. Just remember […]

In my last article I introduced the concept of flow so you’re probably wondering what do I mean by being in the flow? The flow is a state of complete inner harmony and synchronicity with your external environment and the outer world. It is a state that professional athletes often refer to as being in […]

You’re probably wondering why you have not heard from me as frequently. It’s because I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching. I’ve shared in previous posts that the last year has been one of the most challenging in my life with many personal and professional challenges, all in the background of a global pandemic. This has forced […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the last year and how difficult it has been for many people, including myself, through the challenges of the pandemic. I do not need to mention them here because many of you have experienced them and I’ve discussed them in previous articles. As we were drawing close to the […]

We are well into 2022 and this is the time that people start taking action on their new year’s resolutions that they set at the end of the past year. Most people start of the year with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm about the goals that they want to achieve. These goals could be […]

I would officially like to wish you a glorious new year! I know that you have not received many messages from me lately but it is because I’ve been reflecting on 2021. It has been a challenging year for many people with the ongoing pandemic, which is now into its fourth wave in many countries. I […]

Do you suffer from a pattern of recurrent challenges or negative thinking in one area of your life? Then you may be suffering from limiting beliefs. What is a limiting belief? This is a belief that keeps you from reaching your highest potential and can affect any area of your life including your health, your relationships, your finances, your […]

In my last article, I discussed the concept of vibrational frequency and how all living and non-living entities have the illusion of solidity. We are all made of subatomic particles, which are just energy vibrating at a certain frequency. I introduced the concept of raising our vibrational frequency and now I will discuss how to practically do this. There are many ways to raise […]

This may seem like a strange question to ask as we attribute vibrational frequency to sound and light waves. However, you need to realize that everything in the universe vibrates at a certain frequency. In the physical world, that we inhabit, everything seems solid and structured. However, this is simply an illusion. If you break down all […]

In last week’s blog I discussed how you can start moving towards freedom by scrutinizing the areas of your life, where you feel trapped, and doing an inventory of why you feel the way and what you can do about it in the moment. Now, we are going to get down to doing something about attaining freedom. […]

In last week’s article I discussed the issue of freedom and how most of us lack it in one way or another. Many of us are stuck in jobs we hate, relationships or friendships, which no longer serve us or a geographic location we did not choose, to name a few. These situations do not arise by […]

What truly is freedom? This is a question I have been asking myself lately. You see, we are born into a state of freedom. If you look into the eyes of a newborn baby, all you see is love, joy and pure freedom. As that child grows up in this world, they are influenced by the world around them, including […]

Let’s face it. Life is full of problems. Not a day goes by that we don’t have to deal with issues in our lives, whether they are minor or major. These problems can involve our health, our relationships, our finances and our careers or professional lives. They may even lie outside the realm of these categories. The […]

There has been a lot of talk about death lately, through the COVID 19 pandemic. You cannot turn on any news channel without seeing the numbers of the COVID 19 death rates flashing across the screen. However, we all know that death is not limited to COVID 19 and it will, eventually claim all of […]

Let’s face it. Life is full of problems. Not a day goes by that we don’t have to deal with issues in our lives, whether they are minor or major. These problems can involve our health, our relationships, our finances and our careers or professional lives. They may even lie outside the realm of these categories. The […]

As we slowly emerge from the COVID 19 pandemic, there is cautious optimism, as we are seeing a resurgence of this in various parts of the world. However, I want to discuss another pandemic that has always been there but has become more apparent through the last 18 months. This is the pandemic of loneliness. Loneliness […]

As the world emerges from the ravages of the pandemic, we keep hearing about the new normal. What is the new normal? Are we going to continue to work from home? Will there continue to be limits on groups of people in public places? How will the education system evolve and adapt to a rapidly […]

This week I had a valuable lesson in acceptance. I had a home emergency in which there was severe water damage done to at least six rooms and the the garage. My insurance had emergency crews out the same day to set up blowers and dryers and to remove damaged dry wall. Needless to say, my home […]

One of the great joys of life is going to see a movie, something that has been taken away from us during the pandemic. It is enjoyable to spend time with family and friends and sit in a big screen theater and watch an entertaining story unfold in front of you. There are all sorts of movie genres including mystery, adventure, romance, comedy […]

You may have noticed that this past week I did not send out an article to you all, who are on my email list. This is because I’ve been going through a dark time. I cannot identify what triggered this but I have been having flashbacks and memories of what I perceive as mistakes and regrets […]

I’d like to continue my series on being an active agent of change in a world gone mad. I’ve discussed that the world we live in is in a chaotic state largely due to the complacency of the majority of humanity. I’ve also discussed the roots of complacency which lie in ignorance of the true roots […]

This is a question that I’ve been asked and have been asking for a long time. There are many goals that we strive for in our lives that have measurable endpoints such as weight loss, getting out of debt and financial freedom. However, what is our measure for something as nebulous as spiritual growth? Many of […]

In the last few weeks I’ve been discussing the issue of evil in the world, which, manifests as all the chaos we see around us in all areas of society. I’ve also introduced the idea that most people are complacent, which perpetuates this turmoil. Complacency is rooted in either ignorance or denial and, regardless of which it is, each one of […]

Unless you have been hiding under a rock for the last several decades, it is no secret to anybody that our world is in chaos at all levels. Whether it is global regional conflict, poverty and starvation, economic disparity, political corruption, human trafficking and slavery, climate change, environmental destruction, the rise in chronic disease, pandemics, addiction […]

If you look at the world today, you see a lot of chaos and suffering, which permeates the news media in all of its forms. Whether it is global regional conflict, poverty and starvation, economic disparity, political corruption, human trafficking and slavery, climate change, environmental destruction, the rise in chronic disease, pandemics, addiction and many […]

Over the last few weeks I’ve been discussing inner demons and how most of us have them. In the first article,  I introduced the concept of inner demons and how to know that you have them. In the second article I discussed how to identify them, through journaling, and the first step to tackling your […]

In last week’s article, I introduced the concept of your inner demons. I discussed how these often originate in early childhood, when our personalities are formed, from traumatic or perceived negative experiences. These can take the form of difficult emotions, which we can never shake, anxiety, depression or any other negativity that seems to loom […]

We all have them and very few of like to acknowledge them. They often haunt us from early childhood and they are hard to shake. What am I referring to? Your inner demons. What do I mean by inner demons? They take various forms for various people. They can take the form of regret, shame, […]

With much of the world gripped by the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, healthcare systems have been pushed to the brink and in many countries, such as Brazil and India, they are in crisis. Many conventional healthcare systems has been relegated to focusing on the care of people suffering with the ravages of COVID 19 and […]

With the pandemic now going beyond a year with no end in sight, everyone has been affected in various ways, not the least of which is education. Children in elementary school, adolescents in high school and young adults in university and college have been forced to take their education online with mixed results. I myself […]

  I think that you will agree that life has fundamentally changed in the last year, for the majority of people. Lockdowns, quarantines, unemployment, underemployment, financial loss, small businesses folding, relationships struggling and ending, education suffering, personal health concerns, strained healthcare systems and all the other issues that the pandemic has brought. I’m sure that […]

Life is funny in that we quickly get caught up in the illusion that anything we are experiencing is truly real. What do I mean by this? Everything that we experience in life is either a sense perception, a visualized image a thought or an emotion (which I’ll refer to as SIFT from now on). […]

Anyone who has lived for any length of time on this planet knows that this statement is true. Nobody can go any significant length of time without confronting pain, whether it is physical pain from an injury, emotional pain from relationship strife or loss, financial pain from debt, spiritual pain from not knowing the deeper […]

If you look at anybody who has been successful in achieving any goal that they set out to achieve, what you will discover is that they have certain common characteristics. One of these traits is consistency in doing whatever is needed to work towards that goal. However, consistency is not the bottom line because, in […]

We are more than one year into the pandemic and we are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Cases are starting to plateau and even decrease in many parts of the world after a tumultuous year of lockdowns, quarantines, economic turmoil, strained relationships and the overall fear and anxiety perpetuated by […]

It is not often that I talk about personal finances, however, one year into the pandemic, many people have lost their jobs, are underemployed and have had their finances severely strained. I am not an expert in this area, however, through my own experience and through consulting and discussing with others who are more adept […]

We are nearly one year into the COVID 19 pandemic and, needless to say, what a tumultuous time it has been. People’s lives have been upended in many ways, with respect to health, socially, mentally and financially. Even though, most countries are now well into the second wave of the pandemic, with new variants arising, […]

In last week’s blog I introduced the concept of structuring your life. If you missed that article then you can read it here, as it will form the background for what I am discussing here. In that article I discussed the seven major areas of life which we must all engage in order to live […]

In the last few blogs, I have discussed the importance of letting go of what no longer serves us to create space for what does. I have also discussed the importance of defining your core values and aligning with them. In this article I am going to discuss why it is important to structure your […]

In the last few weeks I’ve discussed how to start off on a new path in 2021, including burning your bridges, taking a stand for yourself, learning to say no to what no longer serves you and defining your core values. I discuss in detail, in last week’s blog, how to define your core values. […]

In the last few weeks I’ve discussed how to start off on a new path in 2021. I’ve discussed burning your bridges, taking a stand for yourself and learning to say no to what no longer serves you. The next step to creating your future, the way you want, is for you to define your […]

2021 is well underway and in the last few blogs I discussed setting the platform to make this the best year ever. I discussed how you must take a stand for yourself and the first step is to burn all of your boats, meaning that you let go of anything that did not serve you […]

The new year is now upon us and it is time to reassess who we are and where we want to go. We are still living with the remnants of 2020, as the COVID 19 pandemic still rages on in most parts of the world and many people are still dealing with the economic fallout […]

As we approach the end of 2020, I am reminded of a famous story from history. In the year 1519. Hernán Cortés led a large expedition, consisting of 600 Spaniards, 16 or so horses and 11 boats, to Mexico. Their goal was to capture a magnificent treasure said to be held there. Upon arrival, Cortés […]

We are almost at the end of a tumultuous year and what a ride it has been. Whatever expectations we had of 2020 were turned upside down by the cascade of events which transpired from the COVID 19 pandemic, the economic uncertainty left in its wake, to racial tensions arising out of the execution of George […]

Did I get your attention? I know there are many of you who suffer with what you have been told is a chronic disease. However, you have only been told part of the picture. Let me explain. You see, life is a dynamic process and is always changing and evolving. This evolution of life involves the […]

American Thanksgiving has just passed and marks the beginning of the holiday season. This is an exciting time for many people as they prepare to entertain their families and friends, purchase gifts for their children, decorate their homes and get caught up in the magic of the season. It can also be a difficult time […]

We often think of our lives as one challenge after another interspersed with brief periods of joy. It can certain seem like this, especially in the tumultuous year that is soon coming to a close. We have been challenged in all areas of our lives, which is compounded by fear around our health, our relationships, […]

Several years ago I published a book entitled, ‘Healing From The Inside Out: Overcome Chronic Disease and Radically Change Your Life.’ If you have not read it, in the book I go into much depth about healing, which is the process of becoming whole. It essentially means to cultivate and integrate all the levels of […]

We live in very challenging times with multiple global challenges converging on us at once, including the pandemic, threats of terrorism, racial injustice, political uncertainty, economic instability and climate change to name a few. The world can seem daunting and difficult to navigate at times.   Global challenges often lead to stress, which can compound any […]

  In last week’s blog, I discussed that the most important way to improve the quality of your life is to ask the right questions. Today I will discuss the two most important questions that you can ask. Before I get to this, I want to discuss a very important issue right now, which is […]
