 Ever since childhood, the stars fascinated me. My uncle loved astronomy, but I was curious in astrology. This Great American Eclipse is very intriguing. The occult and everything alive has a light and a dark side. In the summer, you cannot look at a tree without seeing the sun and the shadow "shining" on the tree. This eclipse has not occurred since 1776, the year of America's birth and its the first coast-to-coast eclipse in 99 years. Some claim that Benjamin Franklin chose July 4, 1776 because of a five planetary solar eclipse. The August 21 eclipse happens 33 days (a Masonic number) before September 23, 2017 which marks an event that has not happened in 7000 years when Jupiter passes through the middle (womb) of Virgo and the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are also in Virgo (a rather rare event, to have all of the personal planets in Virgo) which is also the fulfillment of one of the biblical revelations. Either way, this will be an interesting event as darkness moves in front of the light, the Black Sun. Darkness may rise, but the truth and the light always wins. Keep spreading the light.

Detaching from the ego is one of life's most precious gifts. When detached, a person's perception about life changes. One realizes that he or she is simultaneously a student and teacher. There are lessons in every situation and there is a balancing act between teaching others and learning from others.
For example, as a trainer and health coach, technically I am a "teacher," but the reality is that my clients teach me lessons everyday. Their stories, struggles and successes teach me how to be a better person and trainer but also ignites awareness on how not to live my life. Even if the lesson is "negative" or heart-breaking, there is always something to learn or to teach others.

Nature is beautiful, but nature is also cruel. Nature is as still as it is also violent. Albert Einstein, the interesting scientist that he is, loved nature. Though many would categorize him as an atheist, he believed that there was a power higher than humans and science.
When you look at nature you may see pretty flowers, beautiful trees and exquisite birds. But what do you really see with your minds eye? You'll see an interconnected network of symbiotic relationships between plants and animals and species that mingle within its own "tribe." Planet earth is an incarnation of polarities. There is no light without the dark and there is no masculine without the feminine. The natural laws of life rule human nature. Those who try to change humanity by going against nature will lead us to a path of pure destruction. The battle of the artificial and the natural world are here. And I, until the day I die, will choose nature.

In a recent blog post, Staying Authentic: Inspirations from Blogfest, I discussed thoughts about authenticity. Not only have I re-resurrected my authentic side, but I hope to inspire people to be themselves.
In a world dominated by brand image, it is difficult to express your voice, opinions or inner-nature. If everyone wants to be like everyone else, won't that make a less interesting and diverse world? Being authentic takes courage and strength. It's what makes you, you and them, them. Staying authentic is what makes the world a more interesting place because you bring your gifts to the world in an authentic way. And today it seems like things are becoming less authentic. I've seen this shift in the yoga industry. Ten years ago people were themselves, but today in order to "fit in" you have to fit the image of what everyone else looks like today and wear celestial skinny pants (or lululemon), "Namastay Everyday" tank tops, dye your hair, drink out of a bamboo water bottle and decorate your body with tattoos and 9,000 trinkets dangling from the wrist. Where in the yoga sutras of Patanjali does it say to adopt the latest material trend? What will they do once this trend fades? That lifestyle may be true to some people, but for most they are trying to be someone they are not. What is the moral of this story? Be Yourself without trying to be like everyone else.

It's no secret that divorce rates are at an all time high and that people are settling down later in life. Lately, I have read much research in regards to how software engineers are manipulating the mind.
This led to questioning how Hollywood, erotic novels and social media influence our perceptions on love. When we meet someone, we experience a high and butterflies. And just like the honeymoon phase of newlyweds, the romance phase passes. This is not to say people should stop being romantic, but I wonder if our brains are addicted to so much stimulus that we get bored or weary when the exciting phases pass. We romanticize the perfect relationship filled with bubbles, champaign and strawberries dipped in chocolate, but TRUE love is about the struggles. It's about how two people overcome obstacles and find a way to meet halfway to make a relationship thrive. And somehow the more struggles we experience, the more our love grows. It's not perfect, but it sure is deep.

The more I read the news and watch human behavior, the more noticeable it is that America suffers from a psychological epidemic. Because I've lived, or spent extensive time, in other culture's, most places in the western world do not act like we do with this chronic outbursts that destruct society or people's lives.
But, this is changing. Many countries look up to America and do not realize that America has changed. Our natives are being socially engineered and without a sound mind and/or spirit, or sense of identity, people, many of whom are intellects, are committing horrific crimes or doing insane things like beer bonging smoothies for the sake of "being progressive and having no body shame." Today, many people are like a ticking time bomb, and all stigmas should be put aside as this problem affects all social classes. When chaos strikes, the most important thing to do is to quiet your mind. Nothing good happens with irrational and impulsive decisions. Viewing your life as the glass half empty or half full is all about perspectives.

Through the lens of science and spirit, there is a reason why you were born in a certain country and in a particular region of that country too. It doesn't seem logical and it doesn't make rational sense, but your place of birth happened for a reason. It is one of life's mysteries that we have to figure out why and what we can contribute to our country. Since brain-washing is at an all-time high, the media has convinced many in the west to feel ashamed of their country of origen. Anyone who has pride in their country must be part of the alt-right, right? Wrong! Don't be a catfish (aka bottom feeder) and scrounge for the crumbs from the lame-stream media. I will never forget meeting a man from India who was excited to study in the United States. He said no matter how amazing America is, he is so proud to be from India. He wouldn't trade his birthplace for any other country in the world, even though his country is flooded with problems - trash, poverty and corruption. Have some pride and be proud, like a nice slice of Home Pride bread. And make your country proud of you too. Happy Independence Day!

Hi Friends, I am back from a wonderful vacation and Seville and Mallorca restored my soul. Life was so beautiful there that everything in the inter webs seems so ugly and bleak. I could tell my soul shifted and am entering a new chapter in life, which I have yet to discover. Upon returning to the US, I realized how soulless our society has become. We need to rediscover our souls on an individual level to effect the collective. Discover your soul's truth. If it wants to paint, then paint. If it wants to start a blog, begin writing today. The more beauty and light we can bring into this world, the better society will be.

Have you ever felt that when it rains it pours? If so, I believe this is a test from our higher power. Life puts us through conflict, not only to thicken our skin, but to see how we handle the situation. The first few times when "shit hit the ceiling," I cried, I got frustrated and I broke out with anxiety attacks. After a few rounds of this happening, I became calm. I took a deep breath. And I focused on how to solve the issue at hand. I didn't collapse or crumble. I picked myself up by my bootstraps and persevered. If this happens, know it's not happening at you, but for the test of your will and strength.
