Want to Keep Promises? Stop Making Them by Roger Elmore
Promises. We make them every day without even thinking about it. If you consider how many times you’ve said, “I promise” within the past week, you’ll realize that the phrase almost comes out as automatically as do phrases like “good morning” or “I’m fine.” Although most of us are good at making promises, we often…

On Defining, Choosing, and Retaining a Life Focus by Maria Rainier
What would life be without focus?

What is Essence Vitale, Qi, Ka, Pranam? by Nikhil Manna
From a martial art point of view, I would say that Chi is simply the language in which our body communicates to our brain. Lowering centre of gravity, using traction, keeping zero tension in the leg and synchronizing it with the breath and moving in a J shape following an imaginary tunnel. It is not…

Living with Purpose by Kitty Holman
Purpose. It’s one of those lofty words that are used in motivational conferences, commencement address speeches, and places of worship. It is supposed to make us feel big, feel like individuals that are more than just the sum of our banal daily experiences. But what does it mean, precisely, to have a purpose? Are words…

Calming the Mind: Lessons from the Sea by Jacob Mojiwat
Spending time underwater changes your perspective on life. It may sound trite to say that it’s peaceful under the sea, or that diving to the depths brings me to my own inner depths, but it’s very true. Since I’ve been diving, I find I’ve become much more philosophical about certain things. I think that is…

Respect for Planet Earth by Alvina Lopez

No You in Love by John Ptacek
Love is where you are not. It would bomb as a pick up line, but it’s a concept of love worth pondering. They are the words of Jiddu Krishnamurti, a renowned spiritual teacher who travelled the world in the twentieth century extolling the merits of self-inquiry. At first the statement comes across like one of…

Eating vs. Eating Well by Amber O’Connell
Eating. You’d think it would be, should be, such a simple thing. But oh, how difficult it can be. The analyzing, over-analyzing, the under-analyzing followed up by guilt. One simple meal can turn into a stressful affair in no time. I’ve had my share of moments (or rather days and weeks on end) when eating was too complicated…

Nothing is necessarily wrong with the classroom setting, whether in a traditional sense…

The Act of Meaning by Lauren Bailey
Communication is easily distilled or reduced down to an informative event, where the truth or falsity of a given statement is verified or contested by the recipient of the communication. And while communication certainly is an event that may or may not transmit a kind of block of information to an audience, anyone who has…

A Greater And Higher Reality by Robert Gresak
We accept the familiar and the usual. We are comfortable and “at home” with it. Anything that threatens the stability of our three dimensional world causes us untold anxiety. Anything that may lead to the shattering of the usual, the familiar, brings fear and worry. We are very comfortable with our certainty. Strangely, even the…
