The Truth cannot be put into words. It can only be experienced directly in quiet observation. "You cannot see Reality with your mind." -- Zen The mind is filter that you (the observer) experiences life through -- it is a collection of perceptions, beliefs, concepts, narratives, and words conditioned by one's personal and ancestral past. We get attached to the mind and can only see life through its limited perspective -- duality, ego, craving, aversion, and fear of death. According to the 8-limbed Path of Yoga to see the Truth one must purify the mind with meditation. Through the practice of meditation (awareness and non-attachment) the mind becomes purified of all conditioned perceptions, beliefs, etc. and all that remains is the experience of the Truth. Do you meditate?

“Just as the light of a candle has the power to dispel darkness in a room, so also the light developed in one man can help dispel darkness in several others.” ― Sayagyi U Ba Khin

Zach recommended this book to me and I love it. Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. Here are my reflections on spirituality, somatic practice & the modern world. Most people are searching for peace in the external world… Better relationships More money More external validation Being chosen Being loved, being popular. Going viral even But what if the real work and the real results come from within? What if our internal world reflects our outer world. After reading Autobiography of a Yogi, my experience of somatic practice & spiritual practice marries beautifully. Because your nervous system is the gateway to your spiritual experience. You can’t access deep clarity, intuition, or connection when your body is in survival mode. This is why so many people struggle with: – Overthinking – Emotional triggers – Feeling disconnected in relationships It’s not a mindset problem. Its a safety problem. When your body feels safe: ✨ Your mind quiets ✨ Your heart opens ✨ Your energy flows And from that place… everything changes. This is where true alignment lives. Not in forcing, chasing, or controlling life —But in regulating your system so you can actually RECEIVE it. Daily practices like meditation, breathwork, and stillness aren’t just “spiritual tools”… They are how you come back home to yourself. And from there, life starts meeting you differently. Curious to know what helps YOU feel safe in your body right now? Tx
