Went to my usual local spiritual shop to discover it is closing down! 30% percent off everything was pretty legit. I talked with the people and we exchanged contact info since they plan on continuing their business elsewhere.
Such is life!
I picked up a few inexpensive things for a traveling altar. Heading back into NYC soon to stay at my aunt’s for the week while I continue to work this...

hildybug asked: Okay so most of the time I'm a very happy person and I usually see the beauty in everything. I love seeing things at a different perspective, I always have ever since I was little. But for the past couple of years I have been getting angry at the littlest of things. I have been losing my sense of wanting to be happy and enjoy everything I have. How do I conquer this?

spiritsoaps asked: It's come time for me to find a new or additional source of income. I’m in college with a year left to go, but I’m unsure what it is I want to do with myself. I question whether or not I’m in the right major and I question the next step I should take. I want to be happy with whatever it is I do, but I see all these different paths to follow and I’m not sure which one...
beauty-that-moves asked: Hello Yogi! I try to stay up-to-date with the news, which can be a very emotionally trying endeavor. After reading about Arizona's new anti-abortion bills, I find myself in a state of anger and sadness about the state of the world. My heart is sinking for the women of Arizona whose rights are being taken away. How can I keep myself from being wrapped up in emotional response whilst staying...

I’ve been developing a lot of spiritual technology and techniques for office environments. This new full time job is causing me to find creative ways of remaining engaged in my sadhana (spiritual practice) throughout the day.
When I’ve gotten a good feel for it, I’ll be happy to share my experiences.
Namaste, sangha. :)
Aum is my home.

clarisahasablog-deactivated2012 asked: I'm trying to recover from my eatting disorder and I find myself slipping back into my old habits of self loathing and self destruction. I want to recover but I've been hating myself for so long that I believe I might have forgotton how to love myself again. How do you learn how to love yourself and stop focusing on improving yourself?
pluckingthestrawberry-deactivat asked: In my daily practice if I feel "progress" toward "enlightenment" am I actually getting further from it? Is this just another trick from Mara? It seems to me that whatever I am feeling is not enlightenment, as I still have a body and still have a mind. Am I getting closer to enlightenment or something else? Should I just be?
