There is nothing new under the sun. Anything that we create is the product of a combination of things we have read, thought about, seen, or experienced.

5 Signs You’re Giving Away Your Power in Relationships

There’s a power dynamic in every relationship. It dictates who has the power and who doesn’t. When someone’s personal power is invested in another, they develop an unhealthy attachment to them and lose themselves in the process.

As energy-based beings, we’re responsible for who we allow into our space. We should actively evaluate the dynamics of power in all our relationships and become attuned to who gives and takes it away.

Your intuition and body are the best guides when it comes to evaluating power sources. Look out for these five warning signs, I describe in this week’s podcast, that you’re giving away your power in your relationships.

[Interview] Using Energy Healing to Balance Emotions & Reduce Fear (feat. Cyndi Dale)

The French philosopher, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin once said that "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience."

How to Live Your Life with Purpose

The phrase “living with purpose” evokes a variety of emotions. Some find it cliché while others find it intimidating and grandiose. They wonder if they must be the next Gandhi, Mandela, or Mother Teresa to reach that level.

The confusion happens because we limit our definition of purpose to being solely action-based. 

Living with purpose is a sensibility and a state consciousness that influences our approach to everything we do - from the way we brush our teeth to how we show up to a board meeting.

Feeling engaged with life and striving to live with purpose infuses our routines and habits with vibrancy and will put a spring in your step. 

In this episode, I outline five ways to live your life with a sense of purpose.

How to Balance Cultural Identity

Our culture plays a significant role in shaping who we are. The more traditional we are, the more we tend to rely on our cultural cues to provide us with a sense of self.

But it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Our personas are a mosaic of various influences:our values, beliefs, behavior, education, and appearance. When we get overly attached to one culture to the point where we block out everything else, we close ourselves off to other realities and perspectives in the world.

The key to a balanced identity is learning how to blend different cultural influences. In this episode, I provide three ways you can create a balanced cultural identity and use it to your advantage in our global community.

The Importance of Play and Having Fun

On the surface, play doesn’t seem to have utility value, but multiple studies reveal that it’s fundamental to our health. The absence of it can literally make us sick and weigh down on our spirits. Brené Brown says, “the opposite of play is not work—the opposite of play is depression.”
