The other day I was scrolling through Instagram when I came across a series of images that stopped me in my tracks. They were created by Turkish artist Uğur Gallenkuş, whose work brings two completely different realities together within a single frame. His images are striking in a way that makes you stop scrolling and truly look they…

Meditation itself is a simple activity, but not always easy. Anyone who has tried to sit quietly with their thoughts knows this.. the mind loves to jumps around & the body wants to fidget. One moment you’re focused on your breath… and the next you’re planning tomorrow’s grocery list, replaying a conversation from 2017, and wondering if penguins…

I’ve been through many different trials and tribulations in my life. And it’s wild to think that when I was homeless, that’s when the idea of meditation was first planted in my mind. At the time, I had no idea what that seed would grow into. I had no idea how deeply it would shape me or how…

I think most of us who are on a spiritual journey and actively growing already know how powerful our thoughts are We read the books We journal We meditate We do the inner work. And yet… those old mental patterns still sneak in sometimes. (i know it happens to me) The self doubt. The overthinking. The automatic survival…

Last night, I stepped outside with a heaviness in my heart. It had been one of those days where everything felt overwhelming and loud.

That is why I have been intentionally working with my own nervous system and learning how to…

November 1st, 2025 at 10:17pm, I got a text that said: “Your Uncle died today.” I reread it like my eyes were glitching. Like if I stared long enough the words would rearrange into something else. My uncle. Gone. Just… done. No more. Death is like that sometimes. Sometimes you feel it approaching, & other times it’s spontaneous.…

I first found my way into the world of positive thinking at a time when it felt like my mind was constantly working against me. I was exhausted by the same negative thought loops and knew I didn’t want to live there anymore, so I started searching for ways to consciously reprogram my mindset. That search is what…

I’ve been working through a lot of fear lately. A lot of anger. A lot of unworthiness, guilt, and shame. Deep pains I’ve been terrified to face things I’ve avoided for a long time because I didn’t know how to hold them. And instead of running like I usually do… I’ve been sitting in the fire of my…

BOTEC Meditation (Blessing the Energy Centers) When I first got started on my healing journey, it was complete and utter CHAOS. At first, I wasn’t “healing”… I was surviving. Just trying to make it through the day. And honestly? During one of the most challenging seasons of my life, the last thing I wanted to hear about was…
