Different expressions, yet they mean the same thing. At the core, there is a question to ponder around whether we truly show love and care towards ourselves. Our mind may say we do, yet our actions may reveal that we are self-delusional and self-deceiving, even self-sabotaging. Our patterns arising tend to show what dominates our…

It was 2017 and I was in Hawai’i on retreat, hiking through a national park in Kau’ai. There was trail in some parts but well-worn tracks along ridge lines and razor mountain edges that would plunge into the valley.

I’ve walked the bay in Sydney so many times, over so many years. There is something special for me in the energy of the outdoors, the circular track, the water, the atmosphere that makes the walk, or jog, one where you can decompress, unwind and connect. It is inexplicable. Day or night, sunshine or rain,…
