"We are meant to be happy. That has always been something we strive for in this life. In fact, if we look at the motivations behind our thoughts and action conscious and unconscious they are all to get us closer to the feeling, or at least the idea, of happiness. Some of us have long asked why we cannot hold on to happiness. For all of the scholarship and human insights across the centuries, nobody has found a complete and enduring answer. Perhaps because it has been too close to see… The ans …

My name is April. I’m a Reiki Master Practitioner and I live in Winnetka (near Woodland Hills). I’ve noticed that The Valley (San Fernando Valley that is) doesn’t offer much in the way of support for Reiki Practitioners or those interested in Reiki. You seem to have to go far away in either direction. I’d like to try to change that. These days with how busy people are (myself included) and how expensive gas is, it would be nice to get together with others locally. So that said, I’m looking for …

There is nothing more valuable than one's mind. It shapes the entire world that one knows. Through subtracti …

It is not utter happiness, but rather an utter cessation of our attachment to the imaginary; a blowing out of the flame. Out of this silence, joy may arise. Unlike happiness, …
