This Human Thing Kat Ellis

Ancient Spirituality in India birthed the path of yoga, which contains a principle called “dharma”. We can understand a person’s individual dharma as their purpose and role and duty in this human life. This role is different for every single person, and just like we see in nature’s perfect cycles and ebbs and flows, every person plays their role for the evolvement of consciousness and for the mysterious dance that is life. Everyone will play their role regardless of whether or not they know t...

I get into these ruts in which I am constantly disappointed in myself and life and everything feels forced and pitted against me. Whenever I'm in a chapter of my life that is particularly dark, I have learned to really listen. To drop all the resistance (when possible) and use it as an opportunity to connect deeper... even if I can't recognize it in that moment because everything is clouded.

But when the thoughts themselves are the problem, I try to fix a thought with another thought. And then it all just gets louder. When this approach doesn't work, what can I do?...

Christian succeeded in his investigation of the far corners of consciousness on a journey to discover fulfillment in his life. He spent years studying with shamans, exploring various religions and teachings on this journey. He was victorious in his search, by realizing that what he sought was not something he could discover on his own, but by becoming empty, in order to be filled by love. Freedom through true devotion, through faith. Christian shares this message to remind us all, ...

Today I'm sharing some of my journal entries from the past few months. Writing is such a special practice for me. It's raw and honest and never premeditated. I just open to a clean page and let the pen move. Sharing this feels vulnerable, but at the same time... it doesn't because these are things that we are all going through. When I'm writing, I'm really just trying to reflect upon and make a little bit of sense of this human experience. The past few months have been filled with both incred...
