Rest Easy. You're Here.

By Jayden Kyryluk

No matter the losses. No matter the wins. No matter the lost potential in your life or the lost desires. The things that went right, the things that went wrong. At the end of the day and at the end of your life, there is one thing that you will never lose: this journey is yours and yours alone. No matter what happens, no matter who you meet or who you lose, you are on the path. Feet planted, with distance still to cover, on your first day and your last. This is your journey. Yours alone.

In your losses, you may feel something has slipped away, something forgotten, something you were meant to become. In your wins, you may feel vindicated, as if you’ve reclaimed a version of life that once escaped you. But it doesn’t matter. None of it does. Take a step back.

Wins or losses, whatever. They are the same. Your feet are still planted. You’re looking ahead and see no end. But each step is one step less. One step closer to your destination.

The wins and losses blur into satyam, that which is true: they were felt. And what is felt is real. When you feel, not think…your true, present self speaks. Each feeling is a whisper, gently pushing you forward on the path.

It may feel like you are going backwards, but everything is a lesson, and each lesson a step. Remember, it’s your journey and yours alone. There is no comparison. There is no person like you. Rest a little with the faith that no matter your choice, difficult or easy, leads to the same path: forward. 

This path is the journey of your life. And it moves in one direction: death.

Rest easy. Death is the removal of a tight shoe before you put on a new one. The ultimate transition. The ultimate awakening. Death is the start of the end, and the end is the beginning. You got here somehow. Death is where we come from, where we all go, and where we all will meet.

There are ups and there are downs. But in those rises and falls, truth is found, not in the heights or the depths, but in the road itself. Take pleasure, take pain, take fame and gain. Take all of these feelings you feel right now and know that it is exactly what you are supposed to feel. At the end of the day, we are together. We are all walking each other home.

Home is your path. Your life. The destination. It’s the beginning, the end, and everything in between.

Rest easy knowing you are here. Right now.

Your Beach

By Mackenzie Kyryluk When things are going your way, do not self-sabotage. Do not begin to second-guess or question what is earned by you. Do not hypothesize on thoughts of less. Foster an abundant mindset, rich in thoughts that are kind, meaningful, and purposeful. Bring your mind to the ocean, vast and endless. Peaceful. The waves crash, one after another, endlessly shaping the shore. Your thoughts are like those waves, constantly arriving, turning from deep ocean blue to white foam as they complete their purpose. Some waves carry the force of a hurricane, while others are calm and unassuming. Yet, each one carries energy, and as they crash upon the shore, they shape it over time. The wind represents your attention. The waves may seem controlled by it, but in reality, we control the conscious energy behind them. We determine their impact on the shoreline. Some waves need no attention. Others require nurturing. You are fully aware of the difference between the ones that...

It’s Time to Move

By Taegan F I’m sure everyone has heard the term “manifesting.” It is widely used as interpreted in different ways. I see it as cause and effect. A ball drops, it bounces. You put water in the freezer, it freezes. You dream of getting a promotion, so you work hard and earn it. You think certain thoughts, therefore you start to feel and act aligned with those thoughts. You must not only think, write things down, and visualize, you need to ACT. Action is the number one thing in making something come to life, but where does it all start? It begins with desire. That feeling of intrigue and excitement. It will start to consume your thoughts until you have no choice but to act and immerse yourself in the world of this desire. A lot of the time our childhood interests light the path to what’s important to us. I remember being young and being so enamoured by photographs and cameras. Seeing pictures on the family computer and being so curious how people could take such vibrant and quality photo...

The Stillness of Now

-
By Kyle Wilfer As a mountain manifests the silence between the words in an incarnation of grace and magnitude, the sheer chaos that pours out is met with a semblance of perfection. Just as our ego paints the canvas of the soul; a mountain invokes storms, houses wildfires, and harbors death and life. The duality of such grace is pure and just.  Allow me to see, but not to possess.  Allow me to hear, but not to react.  Allow me to taste, but not to want. Allow me to love, but not to desire.  Allow me to be in the world, but not of it.  Ah so, and that too. As yet another part of the sadhana arises at every moment, no goal but the power of now lingers in this heart. What shall manifest will be as is written.  Kyle's Bio: I am witnessing the promises and pitfalls of this incarnation and writing is the mechanism in which the witness can speak. Through my many travels I have come to some amazing realizations that have carried on to everyday life. Finding God in ...
