When something is upsetting us, we can choose to connect with our hearts and ask ...

I relate to these words:

You can feel like you are losing them during the teenage years, even though they're right there in front of you.

One day, you are laughing and getting along, the next you feel like you are sitting with a stranger you don't know in the least.

They might be unrecognizable, growing six inches in a span of six months.

They might have changed personalities, from sweet and loving to salty and stoic.

They might have changed their interests, their focus, their dreams.

You lose them to their phones. You lose them to their rooms. You lose them to their friends, their activities, their jobs.

You may feel desperate to cling to the child you once knew, the one who adored you, the one you got along with, the one whose hand you thought you'd hold forever.

You may feel like crying from their constant rejection. You may feel lost when you can't get them back on track. You may feel insignificant when they ignore you or lash out.

You will grow impatient with the status of your relationship. You will feel frustrated with the push and pull. You will grieve what is no longer there.

You will pull back. You will say less. You will watch from afar.

You will take whatever interaction you can get even if it is always on their terms.

You will pick and choose your battles because you are tired of so many battles.

You will try to stay available even though they are mostly unavailable.

And then one day when you least expect it, you will feel something shift.

You’ll see glimpses of the person they are becoming, and you begin to look forward to seeing what they will do with their life.

You start to learn about their new interests, their new passions, their new sense of self.

You will begin building a new relationship, one where you are no longer their sun. Your job is to be their moon, connected by a force so strong that it will never break. You will follow them along, providing light in their darkest moments, direction when needed. Sometimes your presence is large and looming, and sometimes it is small, barely seen by the naked eye. But you will always be there.

It won't be perfect. It won't be what it was.

But if you can survive losing your teen for a little bit, what happens when they come back to you can be even more beautifull.

If there’s a secret voice in your head whispering that life was meant to be far greater than the one you were offered, please trust it because it’s right.
You were not meant to hate Mondays, to live for the weekend or to dream of your next vacation.
Yet you might believe that there is something wrong with you, for it appears that nearly everyone else is doing just fine.

Well, here’s the truth:
Most people in this culture deep down feel that their life lacks meaning; they just don’t want to admit it, to others and especially to themselves.
For admitting it means facing a harsh truth and the emotional turmoil that is bound to arise from that — hence, they prefer to suppress their inner voice.
In reality, there is nothing wrong with you; what’s wrong is the life you were forced to fit into — that is, an unnatural life.
A life where you've been given an ever-growing burden to carry and are told to not complain about it.
A life where you are coerced to fight against your own feelings and desires.
A life that is not truly yours, but was planned out and is controlled by others.
In a few words, a life of self-loathing and pain.
But you are not here to live like this.
You are here to live free like a bird and brave like a lion.
You are here to love, play, create and discover.
You are here to contribute something magnificent to the world.
You are here to live, not just survive, and enrich existence with your very presence.
So, when you hear that secret voice again, please trust it because this is what life was truly meant to be: a celebration, not a drudgery.~

I recently put together an article laying out all of the evidence for the existence of reincarnation, and a scientific study which validates out-of-body experiences. There is a wide array of data that exists that would be best explained by inferring the existence of a non-physical soul. A large barr...

Nine Ways to Help Others Awaken to Consciousness

By simply being yourself, you can help the people in your life see a living example of consciousness.

1. Living by your values allows you to become a positive source of inspiration for others. Don't hide -- express yourself and embrace life without reservation. By simply being yourself, you can help the people in your life see how one person can make a difference by being a living example of consciousness.

2. When you communicate your views, do so casually and in a nondogmatic manner. Allow the people you speak with to ask questions. Offer only as much information as they are ready to hear.

3. Igniting the spark of consciousness can be as easy as giving someone a gift. A favorite book, a medicine bag, or a beautiful gemstone can pique your loved ones' curiosity and prompt them to begin an exploration of the soul.

4. Teaching a friend, relative, or colleague to meditate or chant can put them on the path to consciousness while simultaneously reducing their stress levels.

5. Others may want to know more about living consciously but are unsure of how to begin. Starting a discussion group -- even a virtual one -- can help you reach out to individuals that are eager to learn.

6. By recognizing and acknowledging the inherent value in everyone you encounter, you can teach them how to value others. Sometimes, the easiest way to encourage people -- even challenging ones -- to respect others is to respect them first.

7. Invite people from your personal and professional lives to join you in attending a ceremony or ritual. The experience may touch them in a profound way or introduce them to a new spiritual path.

8. Casually point out the interconnectedness of all living beings using concrete, everyday examples. Many people are unaware of how their actions affect the world and are intrigued when they learn of the power they hold.

9. Introduce your loved ones to conscious living in a lighthearted and enjoyable way. Serve delicious organic recipes at gatherings, volunteer as a group, and show them how wonderful it can feel to be truly aware and connected to the universe.
