This pursuit has been the foundation of various spiritual practices, philosophies, and religions throughout history.

To chase enlightenment is to embark on a journey of inner exploration, seeking to uncover the true nature of existence and the self. It goes beyond the pursuit of...

Patience seems to be an elusive virtue. It is easy to become frustrated and anxious when things don't go as planned or when we are faced with challenging situations.

Patience is not just the ability to wait, but a powerful tool for personal growth and self-awareness.

Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness is the practice of being fully present and aware of the present moment without judgment. It is an essential tool in developing patience. By being mindful, we can observe our emotions and reactions without being carried away by them. When we encounter moments of impatience, taking a deep breath and grounding ourselves in the present can help us gain clarity and perspective. Mindfulness allows us to detach from the need for immediate results and...

The world is demanding, it always feels like we have to go, go, go. We barely allow ourselves time to just sit and rest anymore. It’s not our fault, the physical world exerts a lot of pressure.

How we think about ourselves and our abilities directly impacts our actions, behaviors, and relationships. A growth mindset means success comes with constant personal development. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean staying positive all the time. Instead, that development comes from consistent learning and perseverance. 

A growth mindset is a basis of understanding that where you are and where you want to be requires effort. It doesn’t just happen because all of the pieces fell together. Without a growth mindset, you can find yourself stuck. 

When you adapt to a growth mindset, you become more willing to accept challenges, try new things, and build new skills. A growth mindset allows you to manifest something and continuously work towards it because you know that you can do it with development.

Many people shy away from the term growth mindset because it can sound intimidating, but with a few simple steps, you can quickly shift towards one. Here are a few key...

Have you ever found yourself in the space of questioning? You are unsure of what's next, and clarity is lacking. We let these emotions weigh us down and put us in a negative state. This is where the role of gratitude shines through. Gratitude is an emotion that grounds us and raises our vibration out of the negative and into the positive, which can shift our entire mindset. Why? Because we simply sit in a space that allows us to reflect on what we have and all we've been given. 

Gratitude can help you get clear by focusing on the positive aspects of your life. When you are grateful, you are more likely to see the good in people and situations, which can help you make better decisions aligned with your spirit. When we are grateful, we are more likely to be happy and have positive outlooks on life. Additionally, gratitude can help us to build strong relationships, as we are more likely to show appreciation for others. We begin to incorporate mindfulness into our routine.

Below are some methods you can begin to implement to help you connect to your emotions, thoughts, and, ultimately, your soul. 

Pay attention to what is expanding and depleting your energy. By connecting with yourself and becoming in tune with what is naturally constricting your energy, you will be aware of the aspects of your life that no longer serve you. 

Mediation is one of the critical tools in quieting your mind and connecting with your innermost thoughts and feelings. It’s one of the most natural ways to foster connection. However, they need to become a consistent part of our...
