As You See, So You Sow

How Perspective Shapes Our Thoughts, Words and Karma For more than two decades, I have sat with people - hundreds of them, perhaps well over a thousand - as they worked through what life had placed in front of them. Different lives. Different circumstances. Different kinds of pain. And yet,…

The Map in my Palm: A dialogue of Skin and Soul

A blog from the series : Musings of the Lotus Born I remember the cringe. As a young girl, I would sit at my grandmother’s feet and recoil at her hands. To my eyes, they were "unsightly" - a landscape of bony ridges and shriveled, darkened valleys. In the arrogant…

The Cosmic Traveller
