The Union Path

All ideas are the same size, inherently undefined and unconditioned. We often prejudge ideas before understanding them, labeling them as big/small, safe/risky, and unlikely/likely. This can be helpful for protection, but can also keep us from pursuing the bigger, riskier ideas that may be the ones we need. Risk and danger are inevitable in life, but there is value in living, as the good usually ou...

We often don't know what we want in life, but deep down we know what is true to us. The key is to live our true nature, instead of trying to fit in and change ourselves to be accepted. The conflict between our head and our heart can be resolved through cooperation. When something keeps coming our way, even if we don't know if we want it, we need to learn to say no. When faced with difficult decisi...

We often want change, but struggle to decide what exactly we want to change. Our desire for change can feel like we want less, but really we just want more relief, peace and joy. Relief is being saved from something, which is why it is a powerful emotion. All change starts with us and it's up to us to create change by knowing what we want and understanding that we are the creative power in our own...

We easily fall into the trap of trying to do too much and focusing on just one dimension of life. We think more effort and focus is the solution to not having what we want, but it's really about the energy behind the doing. We need to learn to slow down, let go, and take in something else. We often try too hard to achieve our goals, but life is meant to be a co-creative experience and we need to l...

We are both physical and energy beings, and it's important to strike a balance between the two to ensure we are living in harmony. It can be difficult to transition from a focus on the physical to one of energy, but it is necessary to truly be alive. Our physical and spiritual sides are both important and need to be balanced. Spiritual energy flows better when our physical body is taken care of. W...

Manifestation follows the steps of idea, knowing, speaking, doing, and being. The process begins with an initial idea or "word" which is then shaped and molded through thinking, speaking, and doing. We can learn to run the creative process more intentionally by understanding the stages of inspiration, thinking, speaking, doing, and being. When something isn't manifesting, we can review the process...

We often take pride in our independence, self-sufficiency, and ability to do things ourselves, but life is more than just effort and will. We miss out on the richness of life if we become too focused on our own doing, and this is why failure of will can be a gift, even if it doesn't feel like one at first. We often get caught up in our own thoughts and desires, but this can lead to feeling incompl...

Late winter is a time when things are given up to prepare for growth and rebirth in the spring. It is a symbol of letting go of the unhelpful to make room for new creation and growth. Winter is a time to go within, to strip away unhealthy habits, and to reflect on who we truly want to be This period of stillness and reflection can be difficult and uncomfortable, but is necessary to focus on where...

We often construct beliefs about how our lives are meant to unfold, but it's important to question these beliefs and assumptions to ensure we're cooperating with life rather than creating an agenda that doesn't align with our reality. We should also consider that there may be more efficient or logical ways to do things than what we initially assume. We can improve our decision making and life expe...

How to Overcome Worry and Take Back Control of Your Life Worry can feel like an intractable, oppressive force, but when we observe it objectively we can start to understand why we do it and how it's not very helpful. Worry can make us feel worse and often doesn't accomplish anything, making it a habit to be aware of and try to break. Worry can have a negative effect on our life, making it seem sma...

Intentional Living: Choosing Your Own Growth and Values We all have the choice and ability to decide which direction we grow in life. We are constantly growing towards the source of our nourishment, the object of our pursuit, and the desired outcomes we want to create. Knowing what we have been growing towards is key to being intentional and creating change, and self-awareness is necessary to doin...

The Yin and Yang of Creating Change Change takes time and requires us to have faith and allow the flow of life to take its course. We must develop a sense of ease and merge with the direction of the change, rather than trying to force it into our lives. To create change effectively, it is important to first know what change you want and then to accept that all changes have their own timing and to...

Find Your Path To True Freedom Through Pursuing The Truth Pursuing the truth can be hard work, but it is essential for liberation and freedom. The truth can help us understand why things are the way they are, and lies can keep us captive. We should look beyond speech to our beliefs and how we present ourselves to recognize lies we may be telling. We can find ourselves living lies, pretending to be...

Redeeming the Past: Finding Opportunities for a Positive Future We have the choice to either accept or resist life's flow, but it is still always moving. Negative events can lead to a desire for revenge, but this sets us up for difficulty in life. We can strive to create a better future without undoing our past. We often try to "undo" our past by pushing against it, but this only locks us into rep...

Working with Fear: Balancing Fear in Life to Pursue Dreams Fear is an unavoidable part of life and the best way to cope is to understand it and learn to work with it. Fear often wants failure and stagnation, but we can renegotiate our fear and use it to help us grow, change, and be creative. Fear can be very uncomfortable and intense, but it does not have to be the primary emotion that dictates ou...

The Data Dance: Balancing Facts and Feelings for a Richer Life We live in an age of unprecedented access to data, but an over-reliance on facts and information can lead to a life of only thinking and diminish our intuitive and feeling side. To find the truth, we must balance our thinking and feeling and not be limited by facts and information. We often rely too heavily on data and evidence to craf...
