Resilience is generally thought of as a “positive adaptation” after a stressful or adverse situation. In other words, resilience is one’s ability to bounce back from a negative experience.

The Path to Feminine Fulfillment, 8 weeks starts July 1
June 22, 2014 by
There are a lot of studies out there telling us that women (and men) are not as happy as they used to be –– Women’s Happiness, in particular, has been in a steady decline since 1972, both relative to where they were 40 years ago, and relative to men.

Do You and Your Partner Go to Bed at the Same Time?
June 21, 2014 by
Remember the beginning of your relationship, when you couldn’t wait to go to bed with each other to make love? The one thing distinguishing a good marriage is that couples go to sleep with each other and wake up with each other. When partners don't go to bed at the same time, they miss a critical time for connecting. This pattern is the equivalent of a huge lost opportunity for sustaining and nurturing your partnership.

We will settle for less than we deserve in our … [Read more...]
Non Duality, End of Spiritual Journey?
June 17, 2014 by
Is Non Duality The End of The Spiritual Journey? by Stephen Williamson I was a spiritual seeker who came across non duality. Reading the books and listening to speakers on non duality, it seemed that in all the speakers and authors there was a revolutionary moment when they ‘got it’, when non duality ceased to be an intellectual theory and became a reality.
