All Of Life
A Quest for Well-Being
Personal oracles have been around for as long as people have inhabited this planet. Almost every religion and culture throughout history has embraced its own oracle stories and practices. The ancient Babylonians, for example, looked to the clouds for oracle messages. Called Nephomancy, cloud gazing is one of the oldest and most widely used forms of divination in the world. The Druids used it ...

Profound Ritual: The Transformative Power of Fire Walking
A Quest for Well-Being
— “Believe it or not, we have all fire walked before. Every single one of us. We have all gone through difficult times, life transitions, radical change. Fire transforms. If we remember each of our life’s big challenges and the resulting change, then we all know fire, we’ve all walked through fire. The question is, was it done with intention or not? Was it a ceremony in your life or an utter mess? Community fire walking gives us an opportunity to re-wire some of those past transitions and to embrace a broader perspective. It allows each of us another chance to go through the...

The Artist Within: Love Is All We Leave Behind
A Quest for Well-Being
— Tuned In is an inspiring story of one man's relentless pursuit of a dream, and a revealing testimony to the power of music in all our lives.

Coming Across A Beautiful Flower: AI & What Is To Be Human
A Quest for Well-Being
— “We are far more compelling and powerful as a species than we realize. Embracing the elements that make us uniquely human gives us awareness, wisdom, and compassion. It teaches us to love, and to lead, which is exactly what is required to live in an AI world. When AI confronts and conquers us at the singular point of intelligence, it’s actually doing us a favor. It’s saying to us: You’re more than this. Just as we can clearly comprehend that we are not a gorilla, our evolutionary cousin, and appreciate all that differentiates us from the magnificent animal, so too can AI, in all...

Transformative Listening: The Way We’re Designed To Heal
A Quest for Well-Being
— A big part of why we haven’t designed a better world yet is that we haven’t designed a better inner world. The truth is, all of us carry pain we haven’t fully processed. Some of us have been deeply mistreated by the system. Others have more privilege, more resources—access to therapy, meditation retreats, time for self-reflection. But regardless of where we fall on the spectrum, every single one of us carries unresolved wounds. Your thoughts are shaped by the pain you haven’t yet faced. If you’ve tried everything to change your circumstances and still feel stuck, here’s why:...

From Victim To Alchemist: Connection, Well-Being & Resilience
A Quest for Well-Being
— “Healing begins with connection... connection to ourselves and connection to others. The relationship we have with ourselves is the most important relationship we will ever have. When we are more connected to ourselves and our emotions, we are able to cultivate more confidence, a healthier inner dialogue, and a better relationship with our bodies and food. Being in community and connecting with others is powerful medicine. There is something deeply healing about sitting in circle with others, witnessing each other in our own individual processes and allowing ourselves to be seen and take...

Yoga Nidra & The Expression Of Your Highest Potential
A Quest for Well-Being
— Yoga nidra, which is derived from the tantras, is a powerful technique in which you learn to relax consciously. In yoga nidra, sleep is not regarded as relaxation. People feel that they are relaxing when they collapse in an easy chair with a cup of coffee, a drink or a cigarette, and read a newspaper or switch on the television. But this will never suffice as a scientific definition of relaxation. These are only sensory diversions. T rue relaxation is actually an experience far beyond all this. For absolute relaxation you must remain aware. This is yoga nidra, the state of dynamic sleep....

A Spirit Led Life Free from Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Bond
A Quest for Well-Being
— “No matter how confused, self- doubting or ambivalent we are about what’s happening in our interactions with other people, we can never entirely silence the inner voice that always tells us the truth. We may not like the sound of the truth, and we often let it murmur just outside our consciousness, not stopping long enough to listen. But when we pay attention to it, it leads us towards wisdom, health and clarity. That voice is the guardian of our integrity.” ~Susan Forward, Ph.D. Valeria interviews Rhonda Van De Geest — She is a Certified & Accredited Narcissistic...

Embrace Your Gifts & Transform Your Life After A Break-Up
A Quest for Well-Being
— Break-up or divorce is one of the most emotionally challenging experiences we can go through. But you don't have to walk this path alone. Walking alongside someone can fast track your healing and recovery. Someone who can gently navigate with you through the pitfalls and tricks our mind plays with us to protect us. Someone who can hold you accountable to make steps towards your dreams while understanding the depth of your pain and the individual healing journey. Someone can help you to heal your past wounds and help you to reconnect with the powerful wisdom inside of you! Valeria...
info_outline— Deep breathing has been proven to be an effective tool for reducing stress and anxiety. Breathwork (or the practice of conscious controlled breathing) can reduce oxidative stress by increasing oxygen intake and decreasing levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) in the body. This promotes balance and helps to protect our bodies from inflammation and cell damage associated with free radical production.
It can also help with insomnia and sleep disruption by calming the central nervous system (CNS). When our CNS is in a relaxed state, melatonin production increases, which helps us get better quality sleep. Studies have also shown that deep breathing can help reduce blood pressure and increase circulation, both of which are important for overall health.
And finally, regular breathwork can help develop greater awareness of self and allow us to better manage our daily stressors and lifestyle choices. Breathwork can also help us heal past trauma, and release challenging emotions, that may be causing unhealthy lifestyle choices that contribute to oxidative stress.
