A little exposure to the philosophy of many Eastern spiritual traditions - including yoga - could easily lead you to conclude that if you aspire to achieve goals in the material world you cannot fulfill yourself spiritually, or vice versa. However, since all of us, at some level, long for fulfillment in all aspects of our life, it is essential to understand that these two aims are not mutually exclusive.

Our self-acknowledgement, our dedication has to be bigger than our fear.

We are already complete. All we need is the clarity to recognize the wholeness that is us.

Of course, not all desires lead to happiness. Desires can and do lead to pain and frustration.

Looking back, I see that I was born with the subtle sense that material treasures alone, no matter how grand, would never be enough to satisfy the longing in my heart to see the light, to know the truth.

I am moved by the desire to see and to be seen, to grow and to unveil the mysteries of life and, at the same time, by the aspiration that life will continue to reveal new mysteries and new possibilities.

I am passionate about learning to most fully embody the spark that is the source of life, the hidden glory of the Creator.
