Will of the Soul
In today’s episode, I have the chance to speak to my two close friends at the same time! Darrin had the great idea of asking ChatGPT to guide our conversation.

18: The Truth About Manifestion And How it Works
Will of the Soul
We’ve all heard of the word “manifestation” at least once in our life. Some believe in it and others think it’s complete garbage. What if I told you that it really does work? It’s not because you desired one thing and received the complete opposite that you should give up on it. Maybe the universe gave you what you needed at that moment or you just didn’t do it correctly. We are all made differently energetically, which means we have different ways of manifesting. It isn’t a one way fits all. Let me share with you a few tips and tricks.

17: The Law of Karma And How it Works
Will of the Soul
We’ve all heard of Karma at least once in our life. Does it really only mean “what goes around comes around”? In today’s episode, I explain what it really means. Karma = Action. All actions have a consequence, whether it’s good or bad. It is not meant to be a punishment or reward. It is an energy that is constantly flowing. There is no outrunning nor escaping it. The residual action of everything you have done will ALWAYS remain with you!

15: The Importance of Balancing Your Physical And Spiritual Life
Will of the Soul
In today’s episode, I dive into a topic that took a huge toll on me for a number of years. It is very important to have a balance within your physical and spiritual life. If you are like me, you may have found yourself obsessing on one at a time. Neglecting one or the other can have great consequences. When we focus too much on the physical world, we disconnect from our higher selves and we silence our intuition. Just as when we focus on the spiritual we neglect our bodies and the reality that we are living in. If you would like to work with me, go check out my website: You can also...

14: Adjusting To The Western World After Living As a Buddhist Monk
Will of the Soul
Today’s episode was requested by a few of you. I have to say that it was really NOT easy at first! As soon as I landed in Canada, I was ready to give up everything and go right back. The reverse culture shock hit very hard. I went from living in silence in the jungle, meditating 6 hours a day, and sleeping in a tent for a couple of months to coming back to a very fast-paced big city. Depression hit me hard for the first couple of months. I wanted nothing to do with any of it so I pulled myself away.
