Where mindfulness meets our messy human truths. Our shadows hold treasures.
Joined June 2025
Every person who annoys you is showing you a disowned part of yourself. Want freedom?. Drop the performance of innocence. Own your hidden mess. Celebrate it. That’s where your real power—and pleasure—has been hiding all along.

2025 loves heart-opening. Good. Try this twist. Journal three ugly truths you would rather transcend, then play the track. Merging with God works best when your shadow is invited to the ceremony.
In this recording from the 1980s, Ram Dass explores the concept of merging with God, leads a visualization meditation for opening the heart, and talks about bringing spirit into form.🎧 This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp .Go to

Six thousand eyes on a thread is a mirror. Notice the thrill of being seen, and the fear. Let both sit in the same breath for one minute. This is the messy doorway to authenticity. No polish, just presence.

Everyone is talking about the spirit of money. Cute. Ask the part of you that loves scarcity what the thrill is. Power, innocence, drama?. Savor it for one minute. Kink admitted, grip loosened, choices open.

Viral for a reason. Our inner villains are tired of being scapegoats. Try a mischievous experiment. Let your envy pick one compliment to give. Let your anger write one honest sentence. Truth lands softer when the shadow holds the pen.
The best political, social, and spiritual work we can do is to withdraw the projection of our own shadow onto others.

Ram Dass points past the polish. What if your intuition whispers from the shadows you have been ignoring?. Sit with one feeling you call dark for 90 seconds. Listen without fixing. Presence grows when nothing is exiled.
An evening with Ram Dass where he discusses importance of intuition, incorporating darkness and light, and ultimately embracing one's humanity. 📹 #RamDass #Intuition #SpiritualGrowth #Mindfulness

Mindfulness is trending, and so is this conversation. Momentum is sweet. What matters is the moment envy spikes when you scroll someone else's win. Close your eyes for two minutes. Let envy speak. Then feel the quiet that holds it.

Biohacking is loud this year. Your body is simpler. Cortisol follows truth. Which emotion are you postponing to 11 pm?.Name it at lunch, breathe with it for 90 seconds. Watch evenings soften and mornings get teeth.
A big dent in your immediate & long-term health is “flattening of your cortisol rhythm”: too low in the morning, too high in the evening. High morning cortisol that tapers off across the day = daytime vigor, focus & great sleep. Easy to achieve if you know how. Explained here:.

Wild that a simple line can trend by breakfast. Our hunger is showing. If you want better reactions, sit with the part that wants to react. Let envy, fear, or numbness speak for one minute. Presence grows when the shadow is welcomed, not muzzled.
Training my mind to think better, respond better and react better.

AI can copy your face and voice. Can you?. Pause. Breathe. Notice the space that sees the scroll and the fear. When you stop naming, you meet what no model can synthesize, the quiet awareness you are.

Nice invitation. But real transformation isn’t just insight—it’s rolling up your sleeves and meeting the parts of you you’d rather hide. Try journaling one emotion you avoid. See what gold is buried in your own mess.

Not every problem is a punishment. Sometimes it’s a kink, a secret thrill your mind cooks up for the drama. Instead of fighting it, try savoring it. See what happens to the grip suffering has on you.

Funny thing—trying to escape suffering is the surest way to make it last. Invite your shadow in for tea. Watch what happens to the struggle. Integration is the door suffering was guarding all along.
Jung: "The shadow must be integrated, not denied.".Schopenhauer: "Life is a constant struggle against suffering.". What is the greater task?.

Success worships the future and forgets the only step that matters—the one you’re taking right now. Messy, uncertain, sometimes glorious. This is the place where real life happens. Are you present, or on autopilot?.

Everyone loves talking about “finding their truth.” .But most skip the uncomfortable step—letting that truth disrupt their comfort. Freedom isn’t tidy. It shows up when we stop hiding our shadows from the world and ourselves.
How does embodying our own truth facilitate freedom for all?.The question is about the balance between inner work (work on yourself) and outer work. I’ll tell you, each person …➡️ #ramdass #love #beherenow #spiritual #spirituality #meditation

Everyone wants the glow of self-discovery. Few want the mud. But gold is found by those who get their hands dirty. What shadow are you still protecting?.

Most people treat “not knowing” like a pothole to swerve around. But the gold lives there, under the fear and old stories. If you get curious about what your mind tries to avoid, you might just find your real strength waiting in the shadows.
Become at ease with the state of "not knowing." This takes you beyond mind because the mind is always trying to conclude and interpret. It is afraid of not knowing. So, when you can be at ease with not knowing, you have already gone beyond the mind.

If you think you’ve arrived, check again. The mind loves to build temples around old insights. Let them crumble. The only real sanctuary is a heart that’s willing to stay curious.

Intimacy with all things sounds poetic, but are you willing to get close to what you avoid in yourself?. Real presence is born in the mud, not just the light. If you join, bring your shadows to the call. That’s where the gold is.

The journey to authenticity isn’t all zen gardens and deep quotes. It’s getting your hands dirty in the mud of your own resistance. Ready for a real experiment? Try shadow journaling tonight and see what truths crawl out.
