How To Deal With Shame

Shame is a deeply distressing emotion.

When one has shame, and does not know how to properly deal with it, they are going to become a force of destruction. 

Unhealed shame leads to self destructive behaviours, or to externally destructive behaviours - more often than not it leads to both.

You will recognize shame…

In the last video, you learned that your personal development journey is not the be all end all.

You learned that while personal development in and of itself is a tool that most need to transcend the state of being in a deficiency state ego or weak ego. It is helpful and not a bad thing.

But it can…

Are You Sacrificing Self Realization For Personal Development? Part One

Como vegana, uma pessoa que escolhe não comer ou usar produtos de origem animal (carne, ovos, leite, etc) me encontro, às vezes, com pessoas que falam para mim que respeitam a minha escolha.  As vezes é como se dissessem “Eu respeito a sua escolha de ser vegana.  Agora, respeite a minha de comer animais.”  Dizem que comer ou não comer…

The Total Lie Of Not Being Good Enough

Today, let us end this bullshit of ‘not good enough’ once and for all.

Lets end the bullshit of ‘not healed enough’ once and for all.

Lets end the bullshit of not smart enough, rich enough, experienced enough, thin enough (blah), talented enough, young enough, old enough - ‘whatever’ enough.…

Hey guys,

I was watching a video that talked about addiction and how we look at addiction the wrong way.

Long story short, it is massively important at how we spread this idea of veganism. Although I really believe it is the way to reducing unnecessary suffering to animals, the health of human beings and the environment, we have to realize that the bond between human beings is far far more important than we think. 

It is very difficult to navigate through this life…

Alright friends! We are back for round two!

In the last video, we explored how the idea that you must change the way you dress, where you live, what you do for a living or any other external ‘thing’ about yourself in order to be considered ‘spiritual’ is not true. In fact, the truth is that we need people from all walks of society opening their consciousness, and moving from that place.…

Also it doesn't help…

You know those spiritual people.

The ones who wear the mala beads.

The ones with the loose wavy hair, dewy completion and stars in their eyes.

The ones that end all conversations with namaste. Or love and light.

The ones that tell you to think positive and who lecture you on the quality of your food and follow…

Have you ever noticed that you tend to reject love, reject attention, reject affection, reject complements, and have a hard time receiving positive feedback and love - until you become unwell?

That you struggle to identify with any positive feedback from those around you, except when it comes in the form of pity or care taking when you are down and out?

Do you have the tendency to only really deeply connect…

     When you gradually start to eat in this way, you will be surprised at your amplified vigor, young appearance and reduced appointments to the physician’s office. Increasing raw food ingestion as well has been associated with diminished requirements for sleep, with countless reports of having increased energy when awakened, and you will discover the…

     When we cook foods, we without doubt obliterate a number of the enzymes, vitamins and raw materials essential for superior healthiness. If we consume too much overly-cooked, and processed foods, it can obstruct our colon, which may well bring about a multitude of harm, together with cancer, heart-disease, diabetes and countless other degenerative…
