After 2-years of consistent daily yoga, I finally understand how to remain joyful for long periods of time — Joy — true joy — is the most elusive inner state of being. We can’t seem to maintain it, to infinitely hold it in our grasp. We can’t stay joyful for long enough no matter how hard we try. When was the last time you were joyful for a full…

The Secrets No One Tells You About Being a Highly Sensitive Person — Dear highly sensitive person, Sit in your soup. Simmer in the intensity of it. “The largest chemical factory,” Sadhguru calls it.

You must replenish your well.” My images left me. I woke up a few days ago to find empty holes where they used to be. Staring at me. Starving. Begging like homeless children. Nagging me…

I thought I’d finally cracked the code to the great mystery of love, but I’d soon learn — Don’t believe them. Don’t listen to the voice in your head. The voice of your past, of your childhood — society’s programming! No, it’s not selfish. Love is not selfish. Self-love. Self-care. Self-nourishment.
