For those that like Ekhert Tolle, but can’t make it to his world tour, or get a private session with the teacher, we recommend Gangaji. She’s a little more poetic and a touch more circumlocutory. Find out if her style works for you by watching these free videos. There’s a bunch of them.

“Know thyself” is much easier to say than to do. Pursuing a knowledge of self is the fundamental basis of all psychology. It also forms the basis of many spiritual pursuits. Yet so many are unwilling to pursue this path.

Here’s a neat online widget for determining what type of psychological profile you fit.
Survey says that this writer is a “Considerate Thinker.” Apparently that’s the product of my aversion to eating at new restaurants. The colors of the DNA chart represent my trust in others and low creativity…. If you’re the [...]

It’s easy to feel bad when everyone around you seems to be feeling good. When we observe happiness or success, the subconscious asks: “Why don’t I have that?” It’s the catalyst for a waterfall of self-doubt that can easily drag down your mood if you let it.
Consider this post by blogger/pundit Michael Arrington. Arrington has [...]

Vlogger Lucymisser tries something new. The Japanese student vlogs au-naturale as an experiment to improve her grades. The inspiration arose after she discovered revealing research: being naked makes you more relaxed, improves your focus and is a bulwark against depression. Hers is a “serious experiment” and not a sexploitation excercise, according to Miss L. We wish her good luck [...]

Stella85– See The Travis Breakup (Part 1).
When you tear something apart, it always leaves jagged edges. Travis’s jagged edges continued through the rest of the semester. We studied together, but we stopped sleeping together. Travis took it as an insult to his masculinity and love-making prowess. I caught myself saying “It’s not you, it’s me,” [...]

Stella85–Things always fall apart for the stupidest reasons. I should say, rather, that things fall apart for the right reasons, all the reagents are there before the reaction ever takes place. It’s merely the catalyst that, when viewed, seems silly.
Travis (Not his Real Name!) and I shouldn’t have been together. We both needed the same [...]

Rowing is a grueling sport. The 2000 meter races generally last about six minutes but your body goes to anerobic respiration, and produces painful lactic acid in your muscles, within the first 90 seconds.
Preparing your mind can be as an important as training your muscles. You have to stay strong for the entire race, no [...]

I found myself in Rite Aid this evening looking for breakfast cereal and when I saw a box of Post’s Great Grains, I smiled and pulled it off the shelf.
It was the first time I had cracked a big smile all day, so, to me, it was worth considering why.
I opened my mind and tried [...]

Do Hindu religious leaders approve of genital oiling? I never thought to ask, but it’s on the mind of the folks at BarryPittard. The author is calling for an investigation into Sathya Sai Baba, a guru who has faced alligations of sexual impropriety.
Another question that I’ve at least considered before is “why do women [...]

I didn’t have much in the way of boyfriends since I got to college. Relationships are a strange business there. As far as I can tell, they fall into two categories. You’re either in a committed relationship, where you follow someone around like a conjoined twin, or you hook up on an ad-hoc basis.
The committed [...]
