Technology… The Good, The Bad, and What do we do when it Disappears

June 2, 2014 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

So, I’ve been combing through a bunch of my old blogs… many are no longer active, but there are still some nuggets and gems. One of the things I’ve found myself doing is going back and looking at my spiritual foundations. I’ll be re-posting some of the nuggets here. 🙂

(This is a payphone, in case you’ve forgotten what they look like)

We live in a time where at the blink of an eye we can communicate with everyone we’ve ever met. With the click of one button, the world can know where I am, what I am doing, and what all of my likes and dislikes are. The big question is: how much of ourselves are we going to give away to the technological world. With every application in the world available at a tap, we get further away from connecting to one another. I can remember a time where people actually walked up to one another and said “Hi, my name is….”, now the first question is: “Do you have Facebook, myspace or twitter?”

We have become so reliant on these little gadgets and devices. I noticed a funny icon on my phone the other day. It asked me if it wasOK that Google collected information on my searches, location, etc so that it could provide better quality as far as searches. Google (and many cell phone providers) have been known to collect and build profiles on users–and more along the Big Brother lines than helping me find the best vegan pizza joint in town. We really have to be careful where we give away our information, we have to use our intuition to decide if it is necessary to venture down these techno highways. They are great for the service they provide… but, does anyone remember how to use a map or even know what an Atlas is? GPS has stolen away the necessity to learn how to read basic maps, we can even have our books read to us by our IPODs, there are programs that slow brainwaves down for meditation, there are neat applications that just suck us right into a world of dependence.

Last night it seems that TMOBILE also crashed. I can still remember how angry I was getting that I could not check my email, send a text, or make a call. I also then realized how attached I was to this phone. It was a wake call… pun intended.

What do we do if all this technology disappears tomorrow? Do you know the actual phone number of the 3 top people you call the most? With a click of a button, a call is made. If I had to walk up to a payphone, I am sure that my speed dial or top 5 will not be programmed in (pay phone? What in the world is that?).

Take time each day to put away the techno-toys. Detach completely. Go a day without using them, detach from email. Send a letter (pen and paper) to a friend. Go a day without texting. Write down all the important numbers in your phone. Ask yourself “If there were no way of using electronic means of communication, what would I do?” This is an extremely valid question, and its another insight that popped up during the TMOBILE outage. I’ve been fortunate to have been introduced to a telepathy technique which is very effective. We have to look outside of ourselves and the techno boxes we’ve put ourselves into.

Much love to you all,

It is Time to Wake Up.

February 22, 2013February 22, 2013 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

The time to wake up is now.

I recently received an email from my wonderful teacher and spiritual mother Susan Zummo and this was what the text in the email said:

More changes and movement taking place. Viewed as isolated events they have little meaning. When you connect the dots, as look at these events as a series of symptoms, it’s easy to see that we are in the middle of a transition period.

Don’t be afraid and hide in the ignorance is bliss model. Be prepared to help others if something happens where you live.
It’s foolish to pretend these things could never happen near us, when we can see that they are happening every day with greater frequency.

Preparation, faith and service to others eliminate fear and doubt.

At first I sat with this, and then decided to take this deeper into meditation. I know that I personally have been going through this world only giving partial attention to the events moving around me. I move through my spiritual paradigm and do the practice, do the healing, do the work, read books and do my writing. I go to work, teach my yoga, and work with my clients. All along there is a vast world that is moving around me. There are forces that are at work that do not have our best interest in mind. There are movements of love and light, but there are also those that walk in the shadows. Recently a good friend of mine turned me on to Alex Jones and a show called Infowars. I’ve tuned into this show in the past. I’ve also tuned into David Icke, and David Wilcock and have in the past appreciated the information they give regarding the hidden world around us. I think too often in the New Age paradigm we get too caught up in our processes and our own illusions to want to see the world around us. The Old Age paradigms are also not immune to this. We get caught up in celebrating the seasons and the earth, but do not see (or care to see) what is happening in this world. I think that often we use our spirituality to escape reality, and we need to shift that–We need to bring our spirituality into our reality. I am not one for conspiracy theories, but there are things that are happening in this reality that we can no longer ignore.

Of course each of the people I mentioned above go deep into their own paradigms. Everyone has an agenda, but we have to start tuning in. Ignorance is NOT bliss. We might not want to turn on our televisions, listen to the news, or tune into this third dimensional space, but you’re not turning on the TV does not stop the world from moving. If you do not know about the disaster how will you activate and send your prayers and healing? If you are not aware of the laws and governmental changes that could impact you negatively how can you effectively use your protection and grounding work? I feel we have a duty as psychic, channels, intuitives witches, and people living this beautiful experience to be aware of how this world is moving, and our place in it. Politics, government, conspiracy, etc can be heavy to sift through. Using discernment is a lost art that is becoming new again. Are you getting caught in the illusion of the distractions around you? How much time do we spend on Facebook? How often to we each foods that damage us?

I know I’m ranting a bit, but I feel that it is time for us to wake up. One of the big things I saw coming into this year was a sense of complacency. People felt things were getting easy at the onset of the year, and in some ways this was true. What I saw in the New Year’s eve psychic fair was that we were being given a reprieve. 2012 for many was difficult. It was not an easy year, and for many it was filled with much upheaval. January hit, and things seemed lighter. I warned many of my clients, students and friends to not get caught in the trap of complacency. Stay with your spiritual practices, reconnect and recommit to them, evolve your connection to spirit, but stay the course. We can easily get caught in the glamour of our own experience. As February opened, so did the chaos that was behind the curtain. Just like ignoring the news does not make it go away, ignoring our shadows do not make them go away.

This part of Susan’s email really struck a chord:

“More changes and movement taking place. Viewed as isolated events they have little meaning. When you connect the dots, as look at these events as a series of symptoms, it’s easy to see that we are in the middle of a transition period.”

I’ve been contemplating where my path is moving, and what I am being called to do. As I tune into these various news and information sources I am hearing each of them holding pieces to a bigger picture. I am going to start bringing together, and bringing forward information. I am going to be starting a new blog soon for this purpose. I am going to comb through different sources, pull videos, review documentaries, and offer my own intuitive connection to the information. One of the thing I often see is a lot of information about how the government is doing x,y,z and how we are screwed… or, this is a holographic space and xyz… The aliens are coming and xyz, Nutrition is killing us and xyz…

We get glimpses of truth, but the distractions grab us and we get lost in our own illusions. This is how it is designed. I cannot count how many times this year I have heard “I feel like something big is going to happen soon”… Just like the birds know before the storm, we too have an intuition that is activating and sounding the alarm.

I’ve started making personal changes to my nutrition, my spiritual practice and how I am gathering information. I’ll be posting on this in the near future. It is time for us to open our eyes to this reality, how else are we to create the changes we want?

I am also going to be setting up an email address for submissions, guest posts, and am going to be dedicating a night/couple nights a week to a radio show to bring the discussion to a live and archived format. I think it is the activist in me awakening again. It is frustrating seeing so many people not in realization of their birth right…. to be Gods, Goddesses, to stand in their power.

I’ve been contemplating this over the past few days and have been researching directions and what I want to do with this. I’ll still be posting here and to my yogawitch.com page.

The new website/blog is going to focus on:

new science/consciousness
spiritual nutrition/engaging the physical body
local/national/global/cosmic news and updates on items of interest
local/national/global/cosmic weather events
research/experimentation/and integration of practical spirituality
conspiracy discussions
actions to help you open to reality and to create changes
bringing forward information from various websites that I feel helpful to readers and listeners.
local/national/global/cosmic politics
channeled information
prophetic information and predictions from different sources
book and documentary reviews

I am going to cover topics that will not be popular, and I am not going to be pushing a viewpoint. I hope that by presenting information in a unified way that we can start getting a look at the big picture. It is also my hope that we can engage in discussion that will help us to peel back the layers of this onion. We might shed a few tears in the process, but the soup tastes better for it.

I’ve also been receiving some interesting channeled downloads and dreams that I will be offering on this new site. I am also going to be teaching developmental on-line workshops to help connect those interested to their intuition, nutrition, and body mechanics.

I am also going to be inviting psychics, channels, mediums, witches, healers, yogis, and spiritual practitioners to offer opinions, thoughts and perspectives, debate, and to guest post.

I did not expect to write so much, but spirit compelled me to do so. It is time to connect the dots, to live in our purpose and stand in our power.

If you want to help with this project feel free to email me: michael@michaelbrazell.com

Thank you for taking the time to listen, to share and to be on this journey with me.

You are Loved. You are Beautiful. You are Divine.

Mastering the Master Cleanse

October 11, 2012 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

Ahhh.. delicious… Lemons, cayenne pepper, molasses and water.

This is the basis for the Master Cleanse. I’m not going to go into a bunch of history on why this cleanse is in existence, but I will share my own personal dealing with it so that you can have a new perspective on an old technique.

The energy this year has been heavy and in many ways chaotic. Many of us are feeling this shifting force hitting us in magnitude. We are experience a variety of new emotions, changes (both external and internal), and energies as we align with our higher purpose. Taking charge of what we are putting into our bodies is vital as we come into this new alignment.

The Master Cleanse is an easy reset button. Sometimes we come to a point where we know we are not in alignment. We’ve reached out for the wrong foods, or we might be more aware of the foods that are limiting us. I do not however follow the traditional mixture. I have found a concoction that works for me, and it does the trick.

I usually get one of the large bottles (1.5L) of smart water or Whole Foods Brand H2O. I use 3 Lemons, and I prefer agave nectar over molasses. Molasses costs a lot more, and agave nectar has a bit few calories and sugar. I do a couple of pinches of cayenne pepper, and Ta-Da a delicious drink for the day. I get up early so that I have time to make my drink, and it typically lasts me through the day.

Leading up to “Lemonade Only”
So, being the realist that I am, I know that if I jump straight into the mixture on its own right away that I’ll throw my body into “Craving every piece of cake in a 50 mile radius” mode. I typically do not change my diet for a few days, but add the lemonade mixture. This gives your stomach a chance to get use to the pepper and lemons, and it also provides a mild detox. The idea is also introduced into your consciousness that a cleanse is on the way. It’s like buying the cleaning supplies and keeping them in your messy room. I usually do this for a couple of days, and then slowly begin cutting out different food items, until it’s just me and the lemonade.

I typically do the cleanse for 3-7 days, and the go into a raw food eating mode for about a week (or longer). Set a timeline that you know will work for you.

Set an intention for your cleanse.

“As I take in this cleansing liquid so does clarity flow through me”.

Personalize the cleanse and make it yours. Allow yourself to be fluid with it. If you feel like doing the lemonade along with raw foods– Great. If you feel like just adding the lemonade and changing nothing–Great. The idea here is that you are also including the intention that you are cleansing. Cleaning happens and a multitude of levels.

Just a quick breakdown of the ingredients. You want to use purified water if possible. The agave nectar gives you calories to burn. The cayenne pepper ups your metabolism and immune system, and the lemons are great cleansers. Lemon is a natural diuretic, which will help you flush your system

I recommend light activity during the cleansing cycle. Yoga is a perfect match for the master cleanse. Yoga allows you to dive deep into the muscles and joints to facilitate release of toxins and limitations.

Trust yourself, and give the body what it needs. If you need calories, eat. If you need to modify, modify.

Have fun with the cleanse, open up to intention, and share the journey with those around you.

Intentional Breathing: Creating Sacred Space

August 17, 2012 / soulinteraction / 1 Comment

According to a world population data 108 people die every minute. We never know when we will say our final prayer, that deep exhale. These numbers also remind me of how often so many of us take for granted the fact that we are breathing. When life gets chaotic we hold or breath. We forget that it is the breath that helps things to move. We have to remember to breathe.

Intentional breathing helps us to make each breath count. To go into a place of purpose with each inhalation and each exhalation. When we connect into this space of intention we invite spirit into that moment with us. We “bring in” something that we might be missing, and create space for clarity, connection, and movement.

So, here is an easy process that will help you to start a process of intentional breathing:

1) Pick a word, a concept, or something positive that you want to bring into your experience. (love, hope, peace, joy, connection, compassion)

2) Bring that word into your mind’s eye. Focus on it, begin to feel it move through you.

3) Take a deep in-breath. Breathe that word into every fabric of your being.

4) Exhale and create space for the next breath, create space for the intention to become reality.

5) Keep this process going. The pause throughout the day and re-connect into this space of intention.

Where do you hold your breath? When do you feel that you need movement? What do you feel you need in your experience that you are lacking?

Psychic Protection: Tools of the Trade

May 29, 2012May 29, 2012 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

There is a lot of buzz this year surrounding all the wonders this year is heralding. I am seeing more lightworkers waking up to their purpose, healers coming into their power, and people taking the step into a life they might not have imagined possible. We know that this year is bringing in a new and powerful energy. It is tangible. It is amazing to be on the front lines of this changing dynamic, this new and beautiful energy, but there is the other side of the coin that we are not really discussing.

There is a universal balance that naturally occurs as awakening takes place, and as light beings are moving into places of power, so are those that are not of the light. In this changing dynamic it is more important than ever for us to hold our center, breath, and protect ourselves. This is also one of the most neglected areas of psychic work. It’s fun and powerful to be able to connect and gain information, but we have to do that from a place of protection and grounding. Information and energy is moving around us quickly, and we really need to be careful of how much of our personal power we give away. Below I am going to give you some techniques that I use to invoke a bit of protection in my own practice:

Hematite is a great protection stone. So is Black Tourmaline. These stones are like little soldiers that will help to absorb the negative energy energy around you. The beautiful thing about stones is that they work even if you are not conscious of the fact they are with you.
White light and affirmation work. Saying affirmations of protection throughout the day is a great way to remind yourself that you are protected and surrounded by the white light of the divine. Sit and visualize the energy moving around you, and through you. Then extend this energy into the spaces that you are in to ward against any energies that might be in those spaces.
Eat healthy foods. Yes, eating poorly lowers our immune system, our energy system and makes us sluggish. Give yourself lots of leafy greens, fresh raw veggies, and water throughout your day.
Exercise. When we are in motion we are less stagnant and are able to move energy around and through us with ease. Holding sacred space even in our physical activities is important for our growth and connection to the temple which houses the soul.
Develop a daily spiritual practice. I like to start my sacred practice first thing in the morning. This can be as involved or as simple as you want. I do yoga, affirmations of protection and grounding, visualization of white light, and a few other techniques that are my own. Start the day in gratitude and try to find “sacred moments” throughout the day
Breathe. This is probably the most important thing to be aware of. I notice people holding their breath throughout the day. Breathing in itself is cleansing. So BREATHE!
Tune in throughout the day. Are you giving away power? Are you in center? Where are your thoughts? Carry a pocket journal and tune into spirit through the day. Develop communication and conversation with your intuition.

It is not my purpose to create any fear, but we really need to be sure that we are keeping up with these shifting energies. We want to be sure that we are as healthy and whole as we can be. Moving into divine space is a beautiful thing, and as a teacher it is my goal to help you get there safely.

Here is a recent episode of: The Psychic and The Witch with a discussion on protection work.

In a future post I’ll discuss magical protection. Using charms, amulets, gris gris, roots, and physical body practice to engage the protective elements.

You are loved, you are beautiful, you are divine.

Tuesday Spiritual Fitness and Nutrition Tip: 2/14/2012

February 14, 2012 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

Here is your Tuesday Tips for living a life of fitness on all levels!

Fitness: Rest. It’s a word that I typically do not personally invoke enough when it comes to my workouts. Rest days allow us to reconnect into our bodies, and it also allows us to give the body a break from a structured workout routine. During your rest days take time to meditate, or if you MUST do something active let it be something that is less impact than your usual workout. It also allows the body to heal. The act of working out is breaking down the physical to rebuild it brand new. Days off, and rotating the body parts you are working is an important way to avoid injury. Meditation is a workout for the mind, it allows us to be present, but it gives the physical body a bit of a break. Take time to allow yourself moments to rest, and pencil them into your workout schedule.

Nutrition: Keep a food journal! No, not one of those little online applications. The electronic versions are great and personally use one, but there are other things that you should also log when you are connecting to your food for greater health. We of course look at calories, fats, carbohydrates, proteins. You’ll also want to log how you feel when you eat. If you are reaching out for unhealthy foods due to an emotional upset, this will give you a few moments to detach from the action of reaching for food in a negative way. It allows you to also see where your emotions are during the day. You can also write positive affirmations for yourself that are more personalized than something you’d get online. The action of taking time to physically write something out in itself is an act of spiritual connection. We are holding something tangible, and its a more “real” connection. It slows us down. Which is very important when looking at how we are connecting to not only our food but to the world around us.

Much love and light, and happy Valentine’s Day!!!

The Power of Emptiness

January 29, 2012 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

Emptiness can be a very scary thing. For many of us, the thought of being “without” certain things in our life can cause anxiety and fear. There are other times where we fill our lives with things that serve as place holders for other things, or we settle for less than what we know we deserve so that we can “feel” sustained or complete. The act of hitting bottom, or coming to a place where things are taken from us, where we take some sort of control and purge elements from our life is an action of entering “the void”.

There are a couple of different ways at viewing emptiness. We can sit in the darkness and be in dread of moving forward, or we can look at it as the gift of now being able to fill ourselves with “new everything”. Loss takes us into a process of learning to have to move through attachment, emotions of fear, and we begin to take account of all that we have in our lives. Loss is powerful. Losing anything that we’ve held onto, or has held onto us for a period of time creates a rift when it is no longer there. An example that I will use to illustrate this is relationships. Often times I see clients that are transitioning out of relationships that have gone on for many years. When the relationship ends, we realize habits, patters, emotions that come to the surface that we might not have been aware of. A tool for moving through this stage of transition quickly is to write down and become aware of those patterns, emotions, and feelings as they come up. When we are able to sit with those in a tangible way, it allows us the freedom to examine them fully, and when we want to. If we leave them in our mind we quickly can distract ourselves away from coming face to face with elements of the self and the parts we play in manifesting transition or loss.

The more important thing that I want us to take a look at is how to transition to a place where we look at loss as a gift rather than a burden. When we go to a place where we lose, or chose to give up the things that bind us we regain a sense of power over our direction. Rather than the cup being half full or half empty–pick the cup up, pour it out, and fill it up with anything your heart desires. Sometimes a half full cup will sit too long, and we become attached to waiting for “something, or someone” to come along and fill it the rest of the way. Finding power in emptiness is about regaining control of everything in your life. Pick up your experience and fill it with something.

The first question I ask my of my clients that are in a place of emptiness is: If you could do one thing for the rest of your life what would it be? Often times the answer is “I don’t know”. One of the reasons we don’t know is because we have never been given the chance to “be” or “do” anything we’ve ever wanted. Another reason is that we’ve often surrendered our ability to “be” or “do” to others either through sacrifice or control. The idea is to start small. If you are coming out of a relationship where a former partner controlled every action even simple things as choosing which movie to watch or which restaurant to eat at can be difficult. Having choice can create fear when we’ve never been able to go to that place freely.

One simple tool that anyone can do is to create a dream list. What things can you add to your life that will bring you overflowing joy and abundance? To not limit the list. Pick one or two small things that you can do right away. Some small and simple things can be: play with play dough, sing a song at the top of your lungs, go for a walk, bake a cake. More complex things can be: learn to oil paint, write a book, change careers, start a new hobby, open a business. Be creative and free of judgement. There is nothing you cannot do and everything you do adds ripples to the endless stream of your life. Somethings you might take on brand new and they will be permanent fixtures in your life, others will simply be momentary bursts of joy and connection. We have to allow give ourselves permission to go into the darkness, but we cannot give ourselves permission to stay there. Being in the dark only means that its time to turn on the light, even if it’s just a nightlight, we must shine.

Start today and shine. Not everyone is going through loss, but these are steps we can take now to make transition easy if we are faced with it. We can have speed bumps or mountains in our path. How quickly we move through them will determine on the work we do before we get there.

PBP2012: B- “Bindi” aka What does that little dot on your forehead mean

January 27, 2012 / soulinteraction / 2 Comments

Through my yogic journey, I have had the opportunity to take initiations into different aspects of yoga. Through yoga we also learn different ways to bring a fuller connection to aspects of our practice. The “bindi” is one of the tools I was least familiar with, but now use fully in my practice. Most of us have seen Hindu women with the traditional red marking on the center of the forehead, and a big misconception is that this marking only signifies marriage.

The “bindi” is also applied to bring awareness and attention to the third eye. One of my favorite kirtan singers BhagavanDas says it best, “The bindi brings

Bhagavan Das

full awareness to the third eye. People will look, you will see it when you look in the mirror, and this adds energy to your third eye.” Just to be completely honest, people will stare… especially if you are male and wearing this symbol. I personally feel most connected when I take a moment to apply it. It’s a very personal act of connection with the divine, a deep connection to the third eye center.

There are a couple of important reasons to wear it, and I’ll also talk about application in case any of you reading might want to take the bindi for a test drive:

One of the reasons I like wearing it is not just the significance of the third eye energy, but that it helps me to connect deeper to my spiritual path. When others stop and look, or even talk to me about the bindi it gives me a chance to share my journey with someone else. We live in a world where life is moving quickly, and little things like this catch people off guard and it slows them

down, causes them to stop, and connect for a moment. A bindi can be worn by both men and women. It is a connection to the divine, and in some ways is an outward representation of that connection. It focuses the energy into our intuitive center and helps us to focus.

The bindi is traditionally applied with sandalwood paste and kumkum powder. Sandalwood is important for many reasons. It’s fragrance has calming properties, and when applied to the forehead allows us to smell it, feel it and embrace it. We know that it is there, and the forehead is where we hold most of our worry, so it brings cooling to our “worry center”. The kumkum is the red powder that is applied on top of the sandalwood paste. You can easily find powders in different colors, and different methods of application. I’ll detail my personal process, and feel free to apply it as you see fit.

Some people just apply the adoration as a fashion statement, and where there might be nothing wrong with this, there are deeper energies present in simple actions. There are individuals that take yoga solely as a physical practice, but the spiritual aspect is inherent whether you want it or not. So just keep that in mind when connecting to practices that may have a latent spiritual symbolism.

You can use as a tool to focus your meditation, you can use it to build your connection to your intuition, and it can outwardly help you connect to your spiritual path.

1) I first take a moment to center myself and I call in my personal deity, guides and angels.

2) I apply a small amount of water to my left palm, and add a small amount of sandalwood powder then mix them with my left ring finger until a paste forms.

3) once the mixture has formed into a paste I take my right ring finger and apply it to the spot right above my nose, centered between the forehead. I apply it by making small circles, and its usually no bigger than the size of a nickel. While I apply it I usually say a mantra. This mantra penetrates into the third eye during the application process.

4) Now to apply the kumkum powder. What I have found best for getting the perfect little circle is to take the eraser end of a pencil, lightly tap the powder covering the eraser fully. Then take the eraser and press firmly into the center of your sandalwood past circle. I hold long enough for me to say the mantra one more time, then release.

Some people apply the bindi without the sandalwood, some use their finger when applying the kumkum, some use applicator kits, and there are many other ways of adorning oneself. The most important part is finding what works for you, and finding your reason for applying it.

Have fun with it. Even if you don’t find yourself drawn to using this spiritual tool, hopefully now you will have a deeper understanding of its meaning. Namaste!

Expressing Peace in Turbulent Times

October 14, 2011 / soulinteraction / Leave a comment

We only need to look around us to see that we are in a state of upheaval. Times are changing rapidly and everyone is moving to the streets to have their voices heard. Many are also taking this time to go into an internal space to create change within their own lives. The road ahead might look bumpy, but it is only as turbulent as we choose it to be. This is an important time to trust your intuition. The one thing that we have to do is give ourselves permission to be angry. Be angry! Get Angry! — but then allow yourself to move into a state of release and growth. Why plant weeds in your own garden? Holding onto anger will only attract more of it in your life. We are all looking for change, growth, and we cannot expect others to provide that for us. It is important to have a message of equality on all levels heard in the public forum, but we must first ask “What am I doing to create peace and change within myself?” Too often we get caught up in the energetic tsunami of others. This is why we are currently not seeing a unified message within the ranks of the “Occupy” movement. As time passes I feel that a true, underlying message will begin to bubble to the surface.

Here are a few ways to express peace in your life right now:

1) Say I love you to someone next to you

2) Give forgiveness

3) Ask for forgiveness

4) Smile at a stranger

5) Volunteer and help those that are in need

6) Love yourself fiercely

7) Pray

8) Sing

9) Dance

10) Look in the mirror and love yourself

11) Write a list of all the things you are thankful and appreciative of. Be in a constant rampage of gratitude.

12) If you feel negativity coming on, pull out your list from line number 11 and begin your gratitude flow.

13) Love your enemies. Hate, never erases hate.

What are some ways that you bring peace into your life? What do you do to bring yourself back to center?
