The human body is the best picture of the human soul. – Ludwig Wittgenstein 

How we care for ourselves externally is a reflection of how we feel internally. Our self-care routine and how we adorn ourselves is in direct proportion to our feelings of self-respect, self-worth, and authenticity. We are all worthy and deserving of self-love and care!

Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next. – Jonas Salk

Sleep is a hint of lovely oblivion. – D.H. Lawrence

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food. – Hippocrates

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. – Rumi

Nothing so promotes the growth of consciousness as this inner confrontation of opposites. – Carl Jung

Deciphering how the human mind polarizes perception is imperative. When we understand that we’re pure potential and it’s our mind that categorizes and subsequently attaches itself to stimuli, then we’re in an enlightened position to hold paradox from a place of non-attachment. We can rewrite our narrative!

We are the mirror, as well as the face in it. – Rumi

To play is to create and to create is to play: nothing expresses our joy and reverence like creativity. Studies show that play increases our resilience, adaptability, empathy, and even helps incite new synapses in the brain. Give yourself permission to channel your inner child!

Ritual is a dance with Spirit, the soul’s way of interacting with the Other World, the human psyche’s opportunity to develop relationship with the symbols of this world and the spirits of the other. – Malidoma Patrice Some.

Rituals are practices that manifest awareness and heighten mindfulness. Through the process of preparation and surrender, we open to the possibility that we exist within and are part of a larger, more diverse and creative spectrum of being. Rituals expand reality beyond limited dimensions!

Knowing others is wisdom. Knowing the self is enlightenment. – Lao Tsu

When we give ourselves permission to daydream, to listen to our inner wisdom, and internalize lessons so they can be integrated and actualized, we learn to trust ourselves. We believe in our power to manifest what we need and to think critically for ourselves. Introspection is latitude to change!

Now is the time to know that all you do is sacred…Now is the time for you to deeply compute the impossibility that there is anything but grace. – Hafiz

Each one of us needs to discover the proper balance between the masculine and feminine energies, between the active and receptive. – Ravi Ravinda

Within all of us are the complimentary energies of feminine and masculine. Striking a balance between these energetic potentials, is unifying them internally so that all the resources within are at our disposal. We break down gender roles and stereotypes by unifying and embodying all that we are!
