The Wisdom Series

“Build a Covenant.” Messages come during Sadhana.  It’s inevitable that when we quiet the mind nuggets of inspiration break through the silence demanding action. “Build a covenant.” This message poured into my soul and I wasn’t even certain exactly what it meant.  If truth be told, I had to look up the word “covenant” to even understand the meaning.  I learned the word covenant means “agreement.”  I understood even less what I was being instructed to do.  Build an agreement?  With whom? What would this agreement entail? Then, Adi asked me to join her with Siri Bahadur to do a meditation […]

The Age of Aquarius

The link between destruction and transformation is incredibly thin.  Oftentimes, it is simply perspective that defines that line and one person’s destruction truly is another person’s transformation.  The year 2020 was certainly that test for many of us.  A year that started with similar hopes as previous years was quickly replaced by a moment in time that none of us will soon forget.  Institutions began showing cracks and those most conscious among us began surveying the demise of what once was as it was replaced by an entirely new age.  The Age of Aquarius, which formally arrived around late 2011/early

(For my father on his birthday, may you forever Rest In Peace.) Adi and I have moved back to Mansfield, Texas.  We are living on her family’s 5-acre property and although I proclaimed vociferously that I would never leave the city 2020 has shattered all norms and made all of us adapt into something we never thought we would.  To some degree, what has unfolded has been nothing short of remarkable.  I have discovered aspects of myself that I didn’t know existed and it seems that they have allowed me to grow in ways I could have never expected. With

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
