Have you ever dreamed of going beyond your conscious self?

There’s a way.

It’s a technique called self-transcendence, and though it may sound like some sci-fi, woo-woo endeavor, it’s also a scientifically proven state of mind, and reaching it does wonders for your physical and mental health.

Conveniently, transcendence meditation is easy to do — though difficult to master — and 99% of the population can give it a shot on their own without issue or guided instruction.

Let’s unpack it together below.

Who we are is made up of a million different life experiences.

Our resiliency threshold is defined by the evolving exposures and experiences we have in life.

No person will have a life without a challenge, but each person can decide how they react and move past the challenge.

When we are resilient, we can overcome or even improve after each of life’s challenges.

Have you ever met a New Year’s denier?

You know the type.

They bah-humbug their way through January 1st, insisting it’s just another day that shouldn’t hold any significance.

On the one hand, we get it.

Every day is a fresh opportunity to start over, work harder, and do better.

But we’d argue there’s something special about the beginning of a year.

So, in honor of the planet’s “birthday,” today we’re talking about New Year’s journaling.

We have all been there; someone does something that really gets under your skin, and you can’t seem to let it go.

Whether it’s a co-worker who takes credit for your work or a family member who doesn’t seem to appreciate you, resentment can sneak up and take over before you even realize it.

Resentment is like cancer; without proper treatment, it will eat away at you from the inside.

Not only will these negative emotions clog up your psyche and weigh you down, but they can also lead to other health problems like high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression.

So how do you deal with resentment before it takes over?

Here is a guide to help you let go of your bitterness and find peace.

People have used sound to enhance meditation for thousands of years.

Some cultures struck gongs and drums; others gravitated toward what we now call “singing bowls.”

Historical records first mention the circular, musical meditation aids during the time of the Buddha Shakyamuni, who lived between 560 and 480 BCE.

Around the 1970s, the bowls first became popular outside of Asia, and today, they’re enjoying a renaissance.

In celebration of the ancient practice, today we’re exploring how to use a meditation sound bowl to help you achieve a deep meditative state.

We all make commitments to ourselves – whether it’s to hit the gym three times a week or to start saving money each month.

But often, we find it challenging to keep these commitments.

Life happens, we get busy or lazy, or we just plain forget.

While there may be many valid reasons why you may be unable to keep a self-imposed obligation, it’s essential to try.

Remember, failure to keep a promise to yourself can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and even self-doubt.

Let’s discuss why it’s essential to keep commitments to yourself and how to do it.

Keeping your cup full has nothing to do with the kitchen, but it is part of a recipe.

It’s building patterns and behaviors that help us accomplish all we need to do in a busy world without being burned out.

A full cup allows us to be present with life and fully experience the joy in every moment.

While our lives might feel like we’re being pulled in the opposite direction, and it could even seem selfish to take care of ourselves first, let’s explore why your cup is the top priority.

Thinking about using mala beads to work with mantras?

The practice can enhance your meditation and mindfulness efforts — but how does it work?

More importantly, what mantras should you use?

To help you navigate the terrain, today we’re breaking down mala bead mantras and how to set intentions using them.

You’re a go-getter.

An ambitious striver.

Someone who cares about self-development.

But right now, you’re not operating at the top of your game, and you’re tired of feeling…tired.

We get it — and we’ve all been there.

Thankfully, solutions abound — especially if your brain fog is merely a lack of clear-minded energy.

If you’re interested in learning all the ins and outs of mental clarity, pull up a seat — because we’re dissecting it all below.

Have you ever considered using probing questions for yourself to guide you in your decisions and actions?

If not, you’re missing out on a valuable tool.

Regardless of your endeavor, achieving your goals in life requires you to take action.

It demands massive action that many people are not inclined to take.

But do you know what it entails to prompt this kind of work?

It requires a commitment to frequent, deep introspection that comes from self-discovery questions.

If you want to see results, you have to start with what’s on the inside rather than trying to control the things that are on the outside.

But you have to translate that self-awareness into your everyday reality by living a life that reflects who you are.

But who are you?

You may know yourself better than anyone else does, but how well do you really know yourself?
