One Anti-Stress a Day
Stress is part of life. In the right amount, and at the right time, it can protect us, motivate us, and prepare us to deal with danger. But stress becomes harmful when it continues long after the danger has passed, when it is repeatedly triggered by memories, or when our mind and body remain on … Continue reading One Anti-Stress a Day

Beyond Connection — The Need for Inner Vibration
We often hear that human beings need other people to avoid loneliness and stay psychologically healthy. There is a great deal of truth in that. Friends, family, colleagues, and even brief conversations with strangers can brighten our day. But perhaps there is another way of looking at it. Imagine a bell. A bell does not … Continue reading Beyond Connection — The Need for Inner Vibration
When No One Walks Beside You
There are moments in life when we long for someone who will simply sit with us while we make sense of our thoughts. Not someone to solve our problems. Not someone to tell us what to believe.
