Using Nadi Sodhana Pranayama to Achieve Balance, Clarity, and Peace
Sadly, the world is in a hurry and life is passing us by. If we could only eliminate ten of the items on our 20-item “to-do” lists, we could perhaps find ourselves on a path to some balance, clarity, and peace. Though many are told to rid their lives of unnecessary “things” and slow down the warp speed pace, they still don’t listen. A nod of acknowledgement gets them off the hook and on their way they go back to the daily grind.

Promise to Keep
On August 25, 2012 I sat down at 4:30pm to write to my grandmother. I have always been a writer in some capacity and I promised her I would continue. At 4:35pm she died.

In Chakra Balancing, the pendulum is held over one of the seven major Chakras (wheel or disk) and the energy from this source. The energy level will reveal balance, a block or imbalance by the way the pendulum is moving.

To Have Faith and to Judge: Hypocrisy in Religion
To have an opinion is often times bold; however, to have an opinion to have no opinion at all is still an opinion. Not to bewilder, but it makes perfect sense! One can choose not to choose rather than make a choice of no action. To be neutral by choice can be not unlike shades of gray verses ...
