“Under the present and brutal conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. We have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief, we have never seen a totally sane human being” - Robert Antonia Wilson

We are all traumatized. It changes our behavior, or instinct if you may, for our surroundings.

When there are triggers, that is an amazing opportunity for understanding. For acceptance.

Not necessarily about the situation, but what is going on for you, in your mind and body. Wayyy before you act on it.

This is a practice. And I want to explore with you aspects of this and how to slowly get in tune. Hope you can join me on this journey!

Happiest birthday to my (not so) little brother!!

Relationships aren’t just romantic ones. Familial, platonic, friendship. These are all different types of relationships and love.

With the 2 of us, how we express love to each other is very different. And the thing is, there isn’t any instance that I think he doesn’t love me. Regardless of us not talking for awhile, or us arguing, or anything else.

Because it’s all my decision. The feeling and understanding of love is very intrinsic. When he does something, I know it’s from love.

Because I’ve already decided.

And it doesn’t mean I let everything slide. It doesn’t mean I just take everything at face value. We still argue and get frustrated, but in the end it’s my decision (just as much as it’s his) on whether we know that it’s love.

Here’s to many more years of being pushy with all my woo (I did a tarot card reading for him today 😋) and him focusing on the science and facts. With all my love ❤️

P.S. he’s also an amazing artist! Give him a follow .art

While it’s a day to celebrate Independence. It’s also a day to ask “what does it mean to be American?”

So much has happened this past year that it’s a question I think we all need to ask.

I’m brown skinned. Ethnically, I’m Indian. And my Nationality is American. I was born in California and have lived here my entire life.

While that makes me a citizen, what I believe makes someone “American” is acceptance. People migrated here in order to freely practice their religion and be who they are. To aspire to be something they didn’t think possible elsewhere.

But when that religion or dream isn’t the same in everyone, we judge. We scorn. We become afraid.

We are all so different, yet exactly the same.

While this day is about freedom of our country, ask yourself what you are doing to honor that freedom. In yourself AND for others.

Hugs and kisses! Love you all ❤️ 💋

Listen to your heart.

This doesn’t mean you’re “emotional” or aren’t “practical.”

Emotions literally drive our ENTIRE existence.

We do things because we want to feel a certain emotion. We don’t do things because we want to avoid certain emotions.

We say we are driven because we want to FEEL happy.

We do EVERYTHING based on an emotion. So why do you deny what you feel?

Why do you push it away and don’t let it see the light of day?

When we oppress our emotions, our heart, we lose emotional health. We lose the ability to be our authentic selves. We lose our ability to love easily; because everything is a transaction.

Emotional health is HUGE and is a foundation for all that I coach. Listen to what you’re body is telling you and understand it. Truly feel those sensations.

I challenge you to see what fear, discomfort, and joy all FEEL like in your body. We are all different, I’m curious on how you experience these.
