Join David as he explores the greatest mysteries of the world through a deep practice of yoga, meditation and mindfulness.

Who Am I?

Such a profound question with seemingly a myriad of answers.  There are some sages who dug much deeper than the externals of the question and came away with answers that could very well break the code of the mysteries of the Universe.  The masters asked questions few of us consider however if we can understand what the Enlightened Ones did, we could very well live the life of harmony that they lived. Who is the witnessing consciousness?  What is the witnessing consciousness?  If we are able to—through one pointed focus of the mind—investigate “Who am I?” we can discover the […]

The Art of Burning

There is an incredible amount of healing that can manifest through the art of burning wood.  I have often maintained that trees are the masters among us.  Trees sit in perfect being-ness never allowing outside environmental circumstances to ever alter their state of peace.  Surely, trees do have to sway and bend from time to time when inclement weather arrives and occasionally a stray branch may fall to the earth, but the tree stands in peace regardless of the surrounding environment; until it transcends beyond the earth and back to the celestial realms.  At this time, the carcass of this

Planting the Seed

Would you plant the seed of a tree even if you knew that you would never get to enjoy the shade?” In the silence of meditation, the most remarkable messages come flooding through when we reach a state that the Yogi’s call, “shuniya”.  Shuniya is that space where the mind stops calculating and simply witnesses all that is occurring without judgement or the need to change whatever is occurring.  Some call it the state of “zero” or “no-thing.”  This state is achieved when we use yogic asanas, mudras, chants and meditations that physically challenge and tire the body in order
