The image of the tightrope walker - it’s a powerful metaphor for the delicate balance we navigate in our lives. Each thought, each action, contributes to the fabric of our future. And just like the tightrope walker, we strive for inner alignment and peace.
As we walk our own invisible tightrope, may we choose our steps with care, cultivating thoughts that lead to harmony and well-being.
It’s true that our mental resilience plays a crucial role in navigating life’s challenges. Building mental strength is like exercising a muscle.

In this episode we explore the invaluable treasure of “thoughts” and the power to choose the highest quality thoughts, which ultimately influences all levels of our functioning and experiences.
In the grand tapestry of existence, spiritual efforts often hinge on a single second—the moment of choice. Within that fleeting time frame, we decide what to hold onto and what to release. Do we cling to reality or surrender to the ever-changing story?
In this episode we will explore how to cultivate a deep inner silence through the method of introspection and loving redirection of thoughts and feelings from external circumstances to our innate benevolent nature.
We often worry and say, because we love or we care. But we all know that worrying doesn’t really bring the results that we like or prefer. It’s true that worry often consumes our energy and doesn’t necessarily lead to positive outcomes. Shifting from worry to trust and faith is powerful. Trusting in the inherent goodness of others and ourselves can indeed bring peace and clarity.
In this episode we explore how shifting our focus from mastering the outer world to mastering our inner world by stabilizing in the awareness of the eternal self naturally brings about a benevolent, solution-oriented attitude towards life.
Embracing our spiritual identity can profoundly alter our engagement with the world, distinguishing between what nourishes our deeper peace and what merely distracts.

This episode invites you into a space of introspection and spiritual awarenes...
In this episode we will explore how the art of shifting one’s focus or attention from that which is external to that which is within, determines the quality of life experienced. A life lived from the inside out allows for the innate beauty of the eternal self, the soul, to flow naturally into every aspect of the drama of life.
Our ego manifests itself in some interesting ways. Ways like always looking for justification, always pointing fingers outward. It's always somebody else’s fault or to be blamed. And if I can't point finger to anyone, I'm looking for justification in myself.
We have forgotten that the ego is not who we are. The ego is something that I have created myself, but it's not who I am. Join us in this short meditat...
In this meditation we explore how to train the mind to let go of shallow, surface level “breathing” or thinking by contemplating thoughts about the eternal self, a being of peace. From this space of deep inner peace, the mind naturally creates thoughts that are few in number, deep, and restorative for the optimal health of the entire being.
'Life is like a game'- Many of us might be familiar with this phrase. In this episode, we will explore a different perspective.
I am playing the game not in order to enjoy, but I am playing the game and I am enjoying the game. The act of playing is the act of joy and not necessarily in order to attain joy. This is the aspect that is worthwhile to reflect on in terms of how we live our lives.
Come explore how using the power to withdraw from waste thinking restores energy that can be used to create positive and noble thoughts. Such elevated thinking will not only improve the quality of your own life but will also contribute positively to the creation of a more harmonious world.

When we think of life as a game, then we have to also consider the various players in the game, including ourselves. We could be the spectator sometimes, or we could be an active player in the game sometimes. Life offers us the opportunity to consider both.
