About a month ago I walked into my monthly Acupuncture appointment.  It was one of those self care days and an experience I always look forward to.  It is never really the same.

The circumstances of events and how I come to be on the table awaiting the small needles and their placement on my body somehow always cause a shift to my own existence and awareness.  This time something really special happened and I had to share with you all in essence of what was achieved at a higher consciousness level.  I call it Grateful Awareness.  We are all familiar with being mindful or mindful awareness but this was something different.

As my appointment was coming to an end and the needles (not including the ones that somehow pushed themselves out as if energetically they did their job well done) were being collected I felt inclined to thank my Acupuncturist.

I offerered my gratitude and appreciation to what she has done for me these past four years and how our relationship has always been a beautiful ying and yang.  I continued to further share my love for our teacher/student relationship and the ever evolving service she provides for me through my “soul evolution”.  We continued to close for the beautiful moment we connected on and I went about the day in my thoughts.  It wasn’t until later that evening as I was telling the story of my day to my twin flame that the seed of Grateful Awareness blossomed!

During the exchange with my Acupuncturist something magical happened that maybe I had experienced at another level in another time in another life at another stage of soulful growth.  It was the minor fact that she never said “Thank you”, she never was overly attached to my gratefulness or the entirety of praise that I wanted her to receive.  This is what spawned Grateful Awareness for me and for me to share with all of you.

That moment of me being grateful was important for me.  She knew this as part of her own philosophy and awareness.  She let me have my moment of gratefulness and appreciation without making it her own.  She humbly received praise without selfishly turning it into something else altogether.  It was beautiful!  It was clarity!  It was Grateful Awareness!


Always evolving,

Color Therapy

I thought it was time to share some insight on the provoking colors we wear, see, feel, and portray with our more than usual daily intentions. I can remember the shifts in colors that I viewed to represent me in some sort of fashion for certain periods of my life.  When I was just a young boy my favorite color was green. Green can represent so much to us, but for me it was always a color I was drawn to for comfort.  Whether it was to ease my childhood growing pains or a blanket from the divine in the form of forest, emerald, or jade green; I truly believe it empowered my soul.  The color green gave me the fuel needed to sustain an understanding of reality in which only I could conceive at that time.  It wasn't until I was in my teens that I began to feel a shift in my own growth and began to fall in love with the color red! Red thrusted into my life around the age of 17 most likely.  It was the beginning stages of me recognizing the power this rich, intense color of red had the

To Coddle or Not To Coddle?

So its the 5th day of January 2017 and somehow I already feel like the year has gone into a fast frenzy.  Is it 2018 yet? I always gear up for the new year.  New Years Eve happens to be one of my favorite holidays to celebrate and not only for the "amateur night" effect but for the change in that yearly number! Numerology happens to be one of my favorite metaphysical and philosophical studies.  If you are unfamiliar with numerology then I would love to fill you in on what we have in store for 2017.  It happens to be a passionate subject of mine.....On a basic note if you add 2+0+1+7 you get 10.  The number 10 then minimizes to a 1 because 1+0 is 1; in the study of numerology we live in 9 cycles from 1-9 so anything after 9 is then just looked at a little more closely.  I will tell you how! Most numerologist will sum up 2017 as being a vibe of 1, which symbolizes high energy in creativity, self-empowerment, and above all an intensity of saying NO to all the coddling!  I

Nostalgia:The Pros and Cons

It's all about the purging...in this case it's all about the emotional purge that throughout our lives I believe gets clogged up like an old water pipe sifting everyone's filth.  I know that sounds probably more blunt than I sometimes would like to write or speak but in this instance, at this very moment after days of emotional purging I believe it's okay to just SCREAM AND SHOUT AND CRY AND LAUGH AND SREAM AND SHOUT AND CRY AND LAUGH AGAIN AND AGAIN... I feel it's healthy to let go of things that may have been attached to oneself for far too long.  I have this constant battle that I know anyone would be able to share with me in regards to that "nostalgic feeling".  I love the nostalgia of how we tie our emotions to our mental and physical state.  When that song comes on from our teen angst years that got us through our first heartache.  When that smell of the most amazing dinner your mom or dad may have made for you as a child comes through the store o
