Travel Light

What would it mean for you to travel light and free yourself of all the unnecessary baggage that weighs you down? What could be possible if you put down the fears and checked your doubts at the door?

Scan your life for heavy burdens you might be carrying around. You may see them in the form of toxic people around you, clutter in the home, or that nagging voice inside that keeps you playing small.

What would be different if you just traveled light?

With Love & Light,

5 Lessons For Your Spiritual Path

Like many of you, I’ve gone down a path of spiritual and personal growth. I still walk it today. It is probably the most revealing, life empowering journey you’ll ever have to take.  That path started for me when I came to a crossroads in my personal life and career that left me with more questions than answers, the journey of self-awareness and exploring my spirituality was started.

I got involved in yoga, meditation, and writing all of which helped me to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness. I read a ton of books on the subject and exposed myself to new ideas and expanded realms of thought. I welcomed in a new framework of how the world works and how my existence contributed to it. I learned about this thing called fear and how it can sneakily attached itself to our own sense of identity. I also learned about love and light and what it means to aspire to live by this daily. I also learned about peace and what true happiness feels like; I mean down to the core happiness that comes from within and not from any large sum of money. When it comes to confidence, security, passion, joy, abundance, endurance, enthusiasm; they are very much available to you in the present moment and they all come from you. Very similarly, fear, insecurity, doubt, lethargy, victimization, guilt, worry, disappointment, regret are also very available to you in the present moment. Unfortunately for most of us, our tendency by default is to fall victim to the latter feelings so much so that they cloud our ability to see the situation and ourselves clearly.

The Power of Surrender

What does it mean to surrender? Surrendering typically evokes a feeling of defeat or to give up our control over things. Similar to how a bank robber, who is surrounded by police pointing their guns, soon realizes he must surrender.

The same way we find ourselves surrounded by our fears and doubts that often feel just as threatening as a gun to our face. Our sense of control and security is rattled and the discomfort is enslaving, as we see no other way out. We surrender to our fears, give in and give up our power. This type of surrender leave us feeling defeated and disempowered as we feel we have lost and the fears have claimed victory over us yet again.

Fear at the basic level is when our sense of security is disrupted. Our security is created from our ability to control the situation.

Meditative Photo Walk | A Workshop on Mindful Photography

"Prayer is when you talk to God, Meditation is when God talks to you." Yogi Bhajan

I've always been amazed at how all time seems to stop when I lift the camera to my eye. We start to see our worlds differently as everything around us starts to take shape. We become completely absorbed in the present. There's no other beautiful place to be than being in the moment.

Come join me this Sunday for my new photography workshop; Meditative Photo Walk.
