Keep Calm – Help Someone
“So far this year, at least 140 million people across 37 countries have been left in need of humanitarian aid. But most of them will not get it.” The Observer* I can’t even imagine what suffering on this level looks like but I sense it in my body. It feels...
Food, Family and Changing Eating Habits
The world changes every day. As we rush into the new, it is good to revisit the traditions of our younger days that seemingly never change. That's one of the reasons why visiting family is so important to me. To be immersed once again in that solid routine reminds me...
Meditation doesn’t have to be a chore
If you are following my travels via Facebook or Instagram, then you know that I am still in the UK. This week, I am in London taking in the hustle and bustle of this hub of humanity. Watching it all go zipping by, I am thankful that I have taken the time to learn how...

When You Can’t Travel, Here’s A Trick
Summer Travelogue 3: When You Can't Travel, Here's A Trick. In the last few weeks, I’ve had the fortune to play and splash in the waters of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, walked along the same trail that Francisco Vasquez de Coronado and the Spanish conquistadors...
Summer Travelogue 2 – Walking To Open Your Heart
Long ago, I read a book by Bruce Chatwin, called The Songlines. In it, he conveyed the raw reality of life lived in the outback as he explored the Aboriginal culture and how the people connected to the land and to their own existence through walking, singing, and...
The Dark Side Of Summer- Bikini Body
Whenever I hear the phrase “bikini body”, whether on TV chat shows or in magazines and social media, I roll my eyes. It makes me so mad. Summer is meant for fun. It is not meant for tortuous preparation and negative self-talk. More than 8.5 million people have...
How Do You Feel About Your Birthday?
I’ve never been one to throw lavish parties or make a big deal of my birthday. This could be in part because I grew up between two worlds. In India, where birthdays weren’t really a thing and the UK, where they were never our thing. On the other hand, I have friends -...
Summer Travelogue 1 – Taos Pueblo Powwow
I will be traveling a great deal this summer and I am hoping that you will join me as digital companions via my travelogue (social media travel journal). If all goes well, it will be a lite variety of posts and photos, poems and prose. At the beginning of every...
A Freedom Big Enough For All The People
What does freedom mean and who gets to be free? Does that include everyone? Everyone wants to be able to do what they want, when they want and how they want. That’s freedom, just look at toddlers, animals, nature or stars. In reality, everyone has their own idea of...
Shift Your Perspective For Better Days
I can remember walking with my grandfather down the road from our farmhouse to the village school. He walked fast with a long stride. I was forced to take 4 or 5 steps for every one of his. Trying to keep up with him felt impossible. He seemed as mighty as a giant on...
Never Be Away From The Light
Summer begins NOW! Well, technically, it began at June 20th, 10.24 pm MST but such beginnings should be savored. I love summer solstice more than any other day; more than my birthday, more than my anniversaries, and more than any other holidays of the year. I can't...
What is worth remembering?
We have so many memories. Good ones, bad ones and even some extraordinary ones. But if you were to stop and reflect back on them which of the memories would you consider really worth remembering? I have been thinking about that as we celebrate or mark birthdays,...
Can Past Lives Help You In Your Life Now?
Past lives, reincarnation work, past life regression… We can’t be certain whether these are actual memories, our subconscious minds weaving a story in hope of telling us something, or simply a vivid level of our own imaginations that we rarely reach without help in...
Come Check Out the New Look @
My new website is here and it is thrilling! I really can’t believe it’s done. Giggles and smiles keep popping up and I keep wanting to wave like the queen at passers by. But for many years I avoided creating this new website like the plague even though I needed one...

End corruption, End Climate Change
I wish there was a way to oust corruption. A prayer, a mantra, even an app would do. Something to rout out the wide-reaching impact of corruption on our lives and our beautiful planet. I’m focusing on corruption because it’s a step closer to addressing problems of...
Are Meaningful Coincidences Showing Up In Your Life?
Long before I became aware of Carl Jung’s writings on synchronicity, archetypes, dream interpretation and the collective unconscious, I noticed synchronicities or "meaningful coincidences” all the time. Deja Vu's and mini-premonitions littered my life. I bet...
Einstein, Alice, Mozart, And Me In India.
Friends! As I am reconnecting with my roots and visiting loved ones in India, and away from writing my weekly blog, I thought we could share space in a slightly different format: anecdotes that make me think and chuckle. Let’s start with this one. A scene that took...
Come With Me To India!
I'm off to India, the land of my birth. For the next couple weeks, I'll be staying in a small village which is home to peacocks and wonderful people. In fact, I will be staying in the house I was actually born in. It has been 19 years since I was last there and my...
Let’s Just Stop and Relax For A Moment
For this moment together let's relax. Let all the stuff fall away, the heavy load of duties or the piles of laundry, the exercise plans, and even the health issues, and stretch your wings. Yes, your wings. Just imagine them, unfolding and opening out of your back....
What Would You Like Your Purpose To Be?
A purpose-filled life. What would that look like for you? For some, it may mean being with the right partner, while for someone else it may mean a great job, for another still it could be being a parent. There are also those wonderful beings who want to serve...
20 Million Motivations For You!
I was out walking and I couldn’t shake this piece of news off: “More than 20 million people in four countries are at risk of starvation and famine.” That’s what UN humanitarian chief, Stephen O'Brien, told the UN Security Council. I find that going without food, even...
Resetting Your Reality
Resetting Reality is a game I play when I go for a walk or watch the world go by through the windshield, especially on days when my senses are feeling hyper-aroused by the news, or life in general. Perhaps the level of effort required these days to sift through all...
Dancing with myself part 2 – Therapies That Help You Break Through
Continued from Part 1 Last week I shared about how my body and I went through a difficult time. I promised I would share which therapies helped us from almost breaking up to dancing the night away, rock climbing, and sharing laughs like we did as kids. We never know...
Dancing with Myself #howilearnedtolovemybodyagain
I've been in a long-term, committed relationship with my body for nearly my entire life. Like any relationship, it's had its ups and down. We have not always been on the same page and there have been times it felt like we didn’t even know each other. Those are normal...
How Positive Are You?
How positive are you? Are you positive to the point to of unicorns, rainbows and happily ever afters? Or are you positive enough to see your glass as half full? Are you just positive enough to list what you're grateful for? And shiny enough to know the world won't...
Want To Do It Different This Time
Funny, how what we teach can very quickly become what we need to practice ourselves. Last week, I told several clients: “do it different this time” as they navigated situations that were triggers for them. Instead of going to their default mode of worrying,...
Lady Gaga, Trump and How To Achieve Your Goals
Lady Gaga nailed it. She made us feel good as we watched her spectacular halftime performance at the Super Bowl. She sang, jumped from the roof,* sang some more, danced and leaped off again. It was exhilarating to watch. I wanted more. Then, for a moment, my mind...
What Can You Find Within?
How often do you think to yourself: “I need to meditate?” We've all heard celebrities going on and on about the benefits and I know you've read articles about mindfulness and how it can improve your life exponentially. But seriously, how often do you think, " I need...
“I trust her beyond belief. I do not throw trust or money around lightly. And Navjit has earned every bit. She walks her talk. And then some. To say she has integrity is an understatement. Awake, clear and ON. I have recently gone through a very difficult year and on many occasions, I have paused to ask..what would Navjit do? If every finger of mine were a thumb, she would get 10 thumbs up.”
