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. My mind was crowded with problems that seemed enormous, pressing in on me from every direction. But the moment I tilted my head back and looked up at the night sky, something inside me…

In today’s fast paced world, tending to our emotional and physical well being can feel overwhelming. I know how difficult it is to overcome the emotions of survival because I have lived there for so long (it’s still an ongoing process.) 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.

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…

Kintsugi 金繕い is the art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer mixed with gold sometimes silver, sometimes even platinum. It doesn’t hide the damage. It honors it. It highlights the cracks, and somehow, what was once shattered becomes even more beautiful than it was before. Every time I sit with the idea of Kintsugi, I’m reminded of how…

Meditation didn’t enter my life as some trendy hobby or a perfect morning ritual. It showed up in the middle of real life, and it started as nothing more than a small idea I couldn’t shake. Years ago, when I was homeless and trying to survive a man I met on that journey introduced me to meditation. He…
