To be mindful instead of mind-full, reactive, or mentally absent is a worthwhile challenge. A busy world has people frenzied, immersed in their tasks, and preoccupied with their next assignments. We all get wrapped up in our doings and miss a lot. Prioritize slowing down to foster a way of being that enriches meaningful living. To be mindful is to taste your food, notice when your friend gets a haircut, or that the mountain laurel on your street has more blooms than last season. Present within our senses, we become conscious of the beauty of simplicity regardless of the complexities …

Spring Clean A Path To Freedom
Where do we begin our path to freedom? While the false front suggests that cleaning up the outside will fix your woes, true liberation is not an external process. Clean the baseboards, wash the walls, and, yes, eliminate the scuzzy food particles that take up residence, and grow between your stovetop and counter to get your inner energy stirring. It will not free you, however, from the self-imposed chains that bind you. No amount of outer tidying purifies the inward contaminants of distorted thinking and harbored emotions. Human nature compels us to set right what we deem disagreeable or foul. …
Sign of Intelligence? Perception vs Truth
A sign of intelligence may reveal itself as something much different from mental ability. At times, it is masked behind disorganization, impulsivity, or emotionality. We have measures to evaluate various types of intellect and attribute academic success as a sign of intelligence. While these indicators lend some credence, a deeper look suggests one’s observation provides only a narrow scope of a person’s ability to gain and apply knowledge. A more significant sign of intelligence is our ability to look beyond this, and instead of reducing a person to a perception, point of view, or belief, honor the complexity of each …

My Secret Sugar Addiction
Sugar addiction, much like other addictions, involves a complex interplay between pleasure-seeking and a desire to be free of inner angst. Sugar often serves as a distraction, a means to self-soothe, and can be unconsciously and compulsively consumed. Eating sugar releases dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for pleasurable reward, and thus reinforces the desire to consume more of it! Frequently eating high-sugar foods amplifies cravings. A secret ‘drug’ of choice for many, its insidiously addictive nature may be disguised, within packaging that has an alluring innocence. Heed caution when entertaining the lollipops of the world, for they are truly sheep in wolf’s …

Why are so many who seek medical guidance instead given more medication? Let me ask you, do you so wholeheartedly trust in prescribers and the science of big pharma that you are agreeable to taking recommended prescriptions despite not having clear evidence of their efficacy?
