Pitta Dosha, Tejas and Those Emotions

Everything within your Being is speaking to you is some way. Your emotions, your body even the thoughts are an indication of where you may find yourself of your journey.

The Field Of Bliss and Joy

Today's episode as most of us prepare for the holidays, I wanted to touch on this inner most spiritual centre, this field of bliss and joy. This light of bliss shines through through our unbounded awareness of our experience of Self - sometimes called Soul or Source. Joy for me is a choice! It's a way of showing up. It's a way of BEing. We are given the choice to choose love and compassion over anger and fear. We can experience joy as a state of mind. We can choose to release and dissolve old...
