An Ode to Women 

This was NOT written by AI but from my heart to celebrate Women’s Day When a woman understands her power, she doesn’t move, she dances. She embodies a beautiful paradox – she can melt into others while maintaining her center. This dance reflects the essence of being a woman: She knows how to connect to others without losing herself in the process. So to celebrate Women’s Day, I wanted to write something which shows the magic of being a woman that I’ve learned along the way. I’ve written about it in both my fictional books, The Extraordinary Awakening of Annabel Jones (embracing

It’s where we come from and where our bodies will return once we die. When we live in our heads, we disconnect from our relationship with Earth. No wonder most of us are so fearful—we have unplugged from the largest and most powerful battery we

What Science Is Missing About Breath and Presence

Dear All,I was reading an article in The Economist (see link below) that reported on studies, including one from Stanford, showing how specific breathing patterns can improve your mood and reduce stress. Breath can do that and so much more. It is one of the greatest tools we have, and we take it for granted because it’s just so darned easy.Breathing is the cornerstone of life. A person can live for a month without food, weeks without water, but only minutes without air. It’s such a basic thing that most of us miss its importance.But here’s what’s interesting about what
