by Linda Buzogany on Mar 20, 2011

Yoga Heals—one breath at a time. {lululemon Tragedy}
by Suzanne Jones on Mar 20, 2011

Down The Rabbit Hole
by Jennifer Cusano on Mar 20, 2011
I have fallen down the rabbit hole, again. Shit. Here, everything is what it's not. I get stuck here and I loathe it. When I visit this land of covers and blinds, it's as if someone has edited a video of my life, showing only the terrible things that have happened. A constant reel, that has absolutely no end, of things I have tried my best to forget. Then anger, regret, sadness, everything spills over and fills up every inch of me, it makes it hard to breathe. There is no conversation between myself and the living. This can prove to be difficult for everyone who actually lives with me.613 views

How healing / personal development / therapy became super-fast & easy!
by Ben Ralston on Mar 19, 2011
Therapy evolved. It used to be psychological, emotional, or energy based. The problem with these approaches is that the root cause is not healed; the cause is rarely head, heart, or energy based. The root cause is a deeply subconscious association that relates to survival, safety, or sexuality.8,277 views
