Present to you by the Conscious Processing Unit (CPU) 1) Write 3 pages of a free-flow journal After the processing session, write a 3-page free flow journal about it. It’s best to do this a few hours after the process, as soon as possible after you get home that same day. If you’re not able to do so, get it done first thing the next morning. Journaling helps to crystallize your learnings and realizations from your process, and allows for some integration as well. It can also help you find a linkage back to your current situation. Through the free-flow journal, you may also discover what you ne ..read more

One of the things we tend to forget in our busy-ness of living and our need to create a modern human society is that we forget we are embedded within a natural world. Sure, we have conquered the natural world with our cleverness and our technological advances, but fundamentally, we are still dependent on the natural world. No matter how advanced we become, we cannot remove ourselves totally from it. And there is a lot more consciousness now about the damage we have caused the natural world. To put it simply, if we don’t love our environment, we won’t have an environment to love us back. We mig ..read more

The circle is a basic geometric shape that equalizes. When people gather in groups around a circle formation, a circular form of leadership is formed. Be it a bonfire or a corporate table or dining table. By coming together, everyone seated in the circle has equal share in that circle to participate in the activity – be it the sharing of stories or wisdom, decision-making and solution creation, or enjoying a delicious feast. But of course, not everyone had the same merit to be in the circle. But in a circle formation, no one is denied their right to be present and to display themselves. This e ..read more

When you come across something like that, what do you see? Oftentimes, we like to see nature as a series of harmonies blended together in zen-like tranquility.   No. That is not quite the picture. The harmonization is an idolization. Things are not “at peace”. In fact, things are in constant conflict.   The trees and plants you see in the picture are constantly fighting for sunlight and resources. The land is constantly fighting with gravity. The river is in constant conflict with the earth. The natural law for survival puts prey and predator in a constant fight against each other ..read more

Shamanism at the initial stages is about exploration. Fundamentally, we allow ourselves to return to an innocent, or pure or pristine state where we are able to go exploring. It’s like what happened to the first time you encountered water as a child? The amount of joy you had playing with it, and exploring it, and interacting with it to understand its properties? Or the first time you had a BBQ and you were fascinated with the open fire – despite your parents’ warnings, and you just had to touch that flame… Or the fun times making mud pies – mixing earth with water and leaving it out in the su ..read more

The liar, the cynic, the needy, the control-freak, the flake, the manipulator, the show-off, the envious, the pretender, the arguer… There’s no easy way to put this across: this article isn’t going to be easy to read. Life is difficult. There is no doubt everyone is going to run into people who will come across as difficult at some point or other. You might be dealing with a liar, who is constantly inconsistent, or the cynic, who is always pessimistic about everything, or the attention-and-validation-seeking needy person who will want you to give them what they want… all the time. Not everyone ..read more

A newborn baby takes its first breath as soon as s/he is born. From that moment forward, s/he will continue to breathe, in order to live in this world. With each milestone, s/he will need to overcome barriers in order to learn new skills, new words, and new behaviors in order to navigate the world s/he is in. Is it hard for the baby? Definitely. So is this a fact that life gets harder as you get older? Or is this a rhetorical question? Let’s take it further. It is often said that being a teenager is hard. Young, full of life and energy, yet unsure of who they are, and with little or no money ..read more

    The beauty of life is about the different kinds of people we come across every day whether it is at work, at home or any social setting. Different people color our world, which would be a boring place if all people behaved alike. Humans are social beings and in one way or another, we are tangled in different kinds of relationships. However, despite all our efforts to be the best person we can be, we are forced to deal with difficult people and the challenging relationships that develop from our interaction with these people. The truth is, you will come across a difficult person ..read more

New Year’s resolutions are centered on being a better version of you through creating habits, disciplines, and practices to support the “better” version of you.
