Prana Del Mar

Prana Del Mar

Prana Del Mar in Los Cabos, Mexico is a divine little yoga retreat tucked away on the Sea of Cortez.  Upon our arrival in Los Cabos, I didn’t really have any expectations for what was ahead.  Adi asked me if I would attend a Yoga Nidra Certification class with her to enhance her credentials and I figured there could be far worse things to do a few weeks prior to my birthday than go to the beach so I heartily agreed to go. Here David narrate this blog on Spotify! After a short ride from the airport we arrived on […]

Be the Lighthouse

Be the Lighthouse

“Remaining steady and constant, a lighthouse never moves for a ship; instead, it shines its eternal light, waiting for the ship in distress to arrive.” A lighthouse is a tower, building, or another type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and to serve as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways.  Metaphorically speaking, a lighthouse is a person, who by remaining steady and constant, has the ability to guide others during otherwise turbulent times.  While much of the world is in turmoil, the human lighthouse provides the stability to weather

Chess is called, “The Game of Kings.”  Many attribute this to the fact that the game was played by royalty and nobility throughout history, while some take the more simplistic viewpoint that because the central theme of the game revolves around the “king piece,” it is therefore referred to as “The Game of Kings.”  I believe because the game itself is regal, it can only be referred to as, “The Game of Kings.”  Chess is a metaphor for life. Hear David narrate this blog on Spotify! I have played chess for more than 25 years (not particularly well have you)

A Land Called Terra

The land is idyllic; a peaceful refuge tucked away in a growing city of 70,000 people.  We call this piece of property Terra which means “earth.”  It also happens to be the same name as the property in Gone with the Wind (different spelling: Tara) that Scarlett O’Hara tried desperately to save following the Civil War.  There is an odd eeriness in similarity to our current world situation.  We can all feel the strains of the world showing their hairline fractures that could very soon be fully broken.  We are all witnessing friends and families being subtly fractured ever so

Spotify At the beginning of every year, Adi and I make something we like to call, The Mind Movie.  I know what you might be asking:  What exactly is a Mind Movie?  Well, being great believers in the concept that what you think you become, a Mind Movie is a visualization technique used to manifest whatever goals and desires we may have by creating a mental mind movie showing us having already “accomplished” these goals.  The idea behind this is to create a vivid, multisensory experience in our mind to illustrate to us what achieving these goals would actually look,
