Understanding and Meditating on Prosperity
As my maiden voyage to motherland Indian comes to a close I have wanted to keep the elevating energy that has built and become refined internally within me. Of the many meditations I have done while here, a particular meditation on prosperity really brought enjoyment and called me to do it for an extended period. In searching around online for it later I came across a different meditation on prosperity that also called to me and I started working with instead (I hope to also find, at the right time, the original one I had… Read More
End Heartburn with Sitali Breathing
With the holidays coming up and overeating or not eating the right kinds of food, I’m reminded to share a little trick for relieving heartburn: Sitali Breathing.

The Harmony of Breath and Prana
As my sensitivity to the breath and prana deepens I find I can often feel the harmony of disharmony of my energy and breath and their interrelations.
