Waves of Joy

The secret of empowering a man is never to try to change him or improve him. Women think their attempts to change a man are loving, but he feels controlled, manipulated, rejected and unloved. He stubbornly will reject you because he feels you are rejecting him. If you want to help him grow, let go of control, practice accepting imperfection, and he will change on his own.

It's not just about what we say, it's about how we say it. It's not just about how we say it, but when we say it. It's not just about when we say it, but how we show it. We are human beings, we all want to be treated with respect, especially by those closest to us. Why is it that we tend to treat strangers better than lovers? He shouldn’t complete you, he should compliment you....

Our consciousness, inner self or soul may carry on, but the body expires. During our life, be it short or long, we hope to fulfill a purpose, to attain wisdom, to love and be loved. In this life, health is a great ally, but illness and suffering can be great teachers. Regardless, our power to adapt and heal never goes away.  Both health and disease are the consequences of many events over time. To...

You don’t have to be perfect to be loved, you have to be you. When was the last time you got on social media? How long were you scrolling for? The things that you saw, what did you take away from them? Did you say to yourself I am worthy, I deserve the best, and life is all happening for me? Or did you say I need to lose 10 pounds, I should probably get a boob job, and my life sucks? It's tim...

Most of us wish for a new and improved version of ourselves. We want to wake up and live a brand new life, one that we are unfamiliar with but one that we desire. You can wish for this version of yourself or you can do something about it. The truth is you are uniquely amazing and you have to be willing to trust yourself to cultivate that amazingness. The first step in doing that is to decide and c...

"The essence of life is that it's challenging. Sometimes it is sweet, and sometimes it is bitter. Sometimes your body tenses, and sometimes it relaxes or opens. Sometimes you have a headache, and sometimes you feel 100 percent healthy. From an awakened perspective, trying to tie up all the loose ends and finally get it together is death, because it involves rejecting a lot of your basic...

When we track our fears back to the source often we find they are closely related to attachment and our own NEED to control things. We hold onto ideas about ourselves, material possessions, and standard of living that we think define us. Clinging to temporary things gives them complete power over us and they become sources of pain and fear. When we accept the temporary nature of everything in our...

Learning to live with people who are different from you and who challenge you is part of becoming a mature and resilient adult. Cutting people out of your life just because they’re not a bright and shiny ray of light all day, every day will only result in you, alone on an island, talking to coconuts. Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive, nourishing and uplifting people. Peopl...

No matter what goes on below you, open your heart, and let it go. Change is the very nature of life, and living your life is embracing all the highs and all the lows without judgement. Fear and blocked energy elevate the depth of your internal disturbance and paints the world with negativity. Externalizing blocked energies only forces you to defend your actions and make them seem appropriate. What...

Experience is not what happens to a man, it is what a man does with what happens to him. You've got to realize that you must take conscious control of running your own mind.

The first skill you must master is to be able to change your state instantly no matter what the environm...

Complete paralysis for 5 hours from the neck down, unable to breathe, throat closing, severe tachycardia (heart beating out of my chest), I could hear everything but couldn’t move my body, only my eyes.

Why do we spend out lives restricting ourselves. I can eat this, but not that, I can have 1200 calories but not 1250. What an absurd way to set "goals" and set ourselves up for failure. There are many methods to fasting, but today we are going to talk about a plan to break insulin resistance and lose weight. These intermittent fasts last from 24 to 36 hours. Today we deep dive into the t...

You can force your body weight higher than it wants to be by over consuming calories and you can also force your body weight lower than it wants to be by under consuming calories. Obesity is caused by a body set weight that's too high, not an excess of calories. The theory of counting calories in and calories out to lose weight is NOT working. Please stop focusing on shrinking yourself , your...

We live in a go go world that equates resting with laziness and we have glorified being busy. When really we can perform and accomplish more at a much higher level in less time if we approach the day rested.

People generally want to be happy. Do you blame them? However, if we pursue happiness we run into a problem because “happy” is a right now thing, being here, in the moment. This is wonderful because "now" is a beautiful place to be.  There is so much positive emotion associated with being present focused and impulsive about doing things today that bring you absolute joy. On the other han...

Years of yes and no, right and wrong, left and right has us stuck at the starting line. We constantly scramble for answers because uncertainty and lack of control makes us so uncomfortable.

Loneliness is not a desire to seek sec...

This episode feels very random but what I am about to tell you is something WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT. Ever wonder why men have “man boobs” or why little girls hit puberty in 3rd and 4th grade? Or maybe you are curious about why you reach for those colorful Tums (red are the best) and those pretty blue liquid mini-gels we know as Advil to combat heartburn and headaches? Education, awareness, herbal th...
