How Meditation Helped Me Heal and Become Nobody with Infinite Possibilities Have you ever wondered who you really are if you take away all the pain and old stories that hold you back? I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. For me, meditation opened a quiet space where I could let go of fear, prejudice, and pain. It’s not about becoming someone new but becoming nobody, free from what used to limit me. When we feel something, any emotion at all, our pituitary gland starts releasing...

For a long time, I didn’t realize I was living inside a belief. I thought it was simply who I was. I believed I was not smart enough, not capable enough, and not the kind of person who could do difficult things. That belief didn’t arrive overnight. It grew slowly, like something watered quietly for years, until it felt solid and unquestionable. When I look back now, I can see where some of those seeds came from. As a child, I was naturally curious. I wanted to try things, explore, and ask...

Healing My Childhood. Breaking the Family Pattern All these years, I used to think my pain came from the relationships I chose as an adult. But the more I look inward, the more I realized I was reenacting the emotional dynamics I learned as a child with my parents especially with my mother. The need to please others, the fear of not being enough, and the silence I kept to myself when I needed care, everything started there. I grew up in a household where my parents’ roles were switched: my...

For those missing someone during the holidays Grief has been close to me lately. It came through Eva, and not long after, through the passing of my grandmother. Two different losses, two different kinds of love, yet my body recognized them the same way. When someone we love dies, something inside us changes forever. A part of us goes quiet. A part of us leaves. And yet, another truth slowly reveals itself. Our loved ones are not only gone. They are also still here. They live in us, in our...

I had a ton of clothes but absolutely nothing to wear. Sound familiar? As a woman, I can definitely relate to that. From a young age, I’ve been obsessed with clothing, accessories, and the idea of always looking put together. Looking back now, I realize that an event from when I was 13 sparked this obsession. I was invited to a birthday party, and one of the girls told me my outfit was ugly and that I should go home and change. I was stunned, of course, and from that moment on, I made it my...

Eva was a wonderful creature with the greatest capacity to bring happiness. She could warm your heart with her smile and her face could melt the coldest of hearts. I loved her so very much. I miss her so very much. She was one of the greatest blessings to ever come into my life. Eva dog parking in her wagon Before I met Eva, I was an unhappy and broken person, drifting in life with no purpose. Then one day, I came across a post on Craigslist from someone who wanted to re-home their dog. Her...

Meditation is a practice that many of you may have heard of but only about 5–7% of the population actually practices it. So the question is, what is meditation and does it really have any effects? In short, meditation is when you close your eyes and try to temporarily disconnect all your senses. What we call the five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. Our senses are how we perceive and interact with the physical world. We use our eyes to see, ears to hear, nose to smell, tongue...
