Do we have free will? Or, are we human pieces of a greater puzzle being enacted by the ever-evolving universe? Not neither nor either?
The Critical Path to Foundation, Flow and Freedom — Part IV: Creative Expression
Several weeks back, I began writing this four-part series in an attempt to describe a critical path for expanding one’s creative and spiritual growth. Over many years of personal research, my experiences taught me that creativity and spirituality are intimately interwoven. In fact, I often wonder if we are using two different words to describe the same “way of being.” This series of blogs dabbles at demystifying our human “being-ness” by outlining four foundational pillars that liberate creativity — awareness, deep-felt experience, deep collaboration and finally, this blog’s topic, creative expression.

On Being Human — Joy is An Inside Job
In last week’s blog, I wrote about the five layers that comprise a human being — physical, energetic, mental/emotional, spiritual and joyful (my label). Much of my discourse focused on human energy, that invisible but felt experience of life force,…
Human Energy — Use It Don’t Abuse It
From a yoga perspective, our complex human makeup involves five layers of “being” in the world — physical, energetic, mental/emotional, spiritual and joy (my label). The more elusive layers of being human — energy and joy — are less well known and less studied in the western world of medicine and science. Nonetheless, both are just as significant as their counterparts.
