Holistic means to embrace all aspects of ourselves, not just the physical, the mental or the spiritual. However, if one is having trouble experiencing one’s holistic self but would like to start tapping into it, our thinking is one of the best places to start. Holistic thinking is a mental competence of great value. It…… Continue reading Embracing Our Holistic Side

Modern Irrationality
This article is based on Steven Pinker’s “The Four Horsemen of Irrationality”. It doesn’t take a lot to realize that despite the great preaching of positivism, modernly, we are living in a society that is very much hostile; this, of course, is the result of not understanding the shadow. It seems it is hard for people…… Continue reading Modern Irrationality
The Hidden Power of The Sexual Union
As I was re-reading some of my Tantric Books and old material, I came across a beautiful piece that focuses on the sexual wounds we carry, which, like childhood wounds, have a tremendous impact on our lives. As such, I would like to share some of what I read with all of you…. Some may…… Continue reading The Hidden Power of The Sexual Union
Let’s Talk About Parental Wounds
I feel this subject is one we can all relate to, as all of us have parents/primary caregivers. Today I will focus on that mark, that imprint our parents or primary caregivers leave on us–ideas, conditionings, dogmas, limiting thoughts, which without realizing, subconsciously we absorb as children. Please know this article is not to judge…… Continue reading Let’s Talk About Parental Wounds
Tantra & Healing
These days I am focused on Tantra as I am working on healing areas of my life which I thought were healed, yet within the last week, I was reminded by life and my own actions and inactions, that healing, learning and expansion, are truly a spiral process–the more debris there is to clear (trauma),…… Continue reading Tantra & Healing

We are often so caught up worrying that to be successful is to amass material things; yet from personal experience and from people I have met through my life or worked with,…… Continue reading Enjoy Your Life…That is Success

When what others expect of us becomes greater in our minds, that is when we…… Continue reading Be Yourself
Healing with Intelligence and Compassion
I have often written about the danger of falling for extremes; in our desperation to run away from one issue, we tend to embrace any solution, no matter how drastic readily. In the wide spectrum of time, it wasn’t too long ago when patients with mental illness and disorders were treated like the pariahs of…… Continue reading Healing with Intelligence and Compassion
Reflections: Pornography…The Silent Killer
Today I reflected about a gentleman I have been working with and what he said to me after our last counselling session. Although him and I had seen each other over the years at a few events organized by acquaintances, we almost never had the opportunity to have a proper conversation–partly because I don’t often…… Continue reading Reflections: Pornography…The Silent Killer
Happiness or Passion?
Since we are children, through movies and storybooks, we are often indoctrinated to think happiness is the main goal, one we are to chase. We are not taught that it is our birthright; instead, we are left with this uneasy feeling that we have to earn it. Neither are we taught happiness is an emotion,…… Continue reading Happiness or Passion?
