We are social animals – our first survival instinct is to be accepted by the tribe.

We are human, and therefore we all succumb to the most basic human trait - the need to survive. Add to this the fact that we are social animals who for most of our history lived in tribes because we wouldn't survive solo, then it's real easy to see that our first survival mechanism is … Continue reading We are social animals – our first survival instinct is to be accepted by the tribe.

Which parts of your true self do you hide from the world?  As we navigate the complexities of life, it's easy to get caught up in the act of wearing masks to conceal our true selves.

Who is the captain of your ship?

What is the relationship between your mind and your soul?  Today’s meditation explores this dynamic… "Feelings, by themselves, do not create problems.

When deep acceptance comes from your own heart, you’ll be OK forever.

It's a trap that's easy to fall into... trying to 'find' love. And what's more, our flesh-and-blood bodies hold the memory that being 'alone' is dangerous, there was a time (a really looong time) when a human alone wouldn't survive for very long. Our bodies remember that and it makes us desperate to find the … Continue reading When deep acceptance comes from your own heart, you’ll be OK forever.

Mooji’s words might just be the most beautiful description of doing "inner work" that I've ever come across.

And while this … Continue reading The ice cannot resist the melting.

You’ll have plenty of critics, don’t be one of them.

Do you sometimes feel - or - have you ever felt like your self-worth fluctuates with the approval (or disapproval) of others? This is a common experience, but one that can leave us feeling insecure and unfulfilled, on a teeter-totter that hinges on the whims of the world around us. This little book, “the Boy … Continue reading You’ll have plenty of critics, don’t be one of them.
