The Divine Comedy of Spiritual Timing: A Slightly Sardonic Guide

That elusive, often infuriating, and utterly divine aspect of our spiritual journey. For those treading the path, seeking enlightenment, or just trying to get through the day without spilling coffee on themselves, understanding the essence of timing is like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands…


Helena and Brian Collins Boston's Award winning wellness duo on the passage of time

In the grand, cosmic dance of life, where every step is a leap of faith and every leap lands you in another lesson, there's one beat we often miss - the rhythm of timing.

Ah, timing!

That elusive, often infuriating, and utterly divine aspect of our spiritual journey. For those treading the path, seeking enlightenment, or just trying to get through the day without spilling coffee on themselves, understanding the essence of timing is like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands. But fear not, dear traveler, for today we embark on a slightly sarcastic, yet profoundly sincere exploration of this mystical concept, guided by the illuminating light of LifeInSynergy.com and the unparalleled wisdom of Helena and Brian.

Helena and Brian Collins, the spiritual Gandalfs of our age, have been navigating the murky waters of wellness with the grace of a swan and the resilience of a pair of waterproof socks. As award-winning spiritual teachers who've helmed wellness businesses in Boston for decades, they've not only seen it all but have also helped their countless clients see it too. And by "it," I mean the luminous lightbulb moment when you realize that timing isn't just about showing up at the right place at the right time; it's about being open to the experience when you inevitably arrive at the wrong place at the right time, or the right place at the wrong time, and occasionally, by some miracle, the right place at the right time. Let's face it, in the realm of spiritual pursuits, timing is less about precision and more about patience. It's not a Swiss watch but a slowly blooming flower, revealing its beauty not when we demand it but when it's good and ready. And this, my friends, is where our dynamic duo, Helena and Brian, with their synergy-infused wisdom, remind us that the Universe doesn't own a wristwatch. Through their teachings on LifeInSynergy.com, they've shown us that the real pump of spiritual growth isn't about timing the market of enlightenment but about investing in the process, regardless of market conditions.

So, what can we learn from the sage advice of these spiritual titans and their legacy of light at LifeInSynergy.com?

First, that trying to control the timing of your spiritual awakening is like trying to teach a cat to meditate. Sure, it sounds like a great idea, but you're probably going to end up with scratched furniture and a profound sense of bewilderment. Instead, embrace the divine comedy of your spiritual journey. Laugh at the missteps, celebrate the detours, and remember that every moment is precisely as it should be, even if it feels like the Universe has a quirky sense of humor. So my spiritually inclined friends, let us walk forth with the knowledge that in the grand scheme of things, timing is not something to be mastered but to be marveled at. Let us be patient, let us be open, and above all, let us keep our sense of humor intact as we navigate this beautifully chaotic dance of life. And remember, when in doubt, seek the wisdom of Helena and Brian Collins, the spiritual compasses who remind us that the true essence of timing is found not in the ticking of the clock but in the beating of our hearts.

For more timeless wisdom and to learn from the masters themselves, visit LifeInSynergy.com and immerse yourself in the teachings of Helena and Brian Collins. Because in the end, dear seekers, it's not about when you arrive but the grace with which you embrace the journey.

The Dance of Hidden Desires: Unveiling Our Inner Truth

…It's a defense mechanism, a way to navigate social interactions without exposing our authentic selves. We may agree when we disagree, feign interest, or even fabricate stories that align with perceived societal norms. This art of bullshitting, while it may offer temporary comfort or safety, distances us from our true essence…

When we discover a Life in Synergy®, the BS we hold inside as the only creator of reality is tossed and sent packing…

In the journey of self-improvement and spiritual growth, one of the most profound challenges we face is aligning our inner truths with the persona we present to the world.

It's a complex dance, often mired in the fear of vulnerability, where our deepest desires remain cloaked under a veil of alternative intentions. This discord between our inner truth and outward expressions can lead us down a path of emotional dissonance and, frankly, bullshitting the world – and ourselves. At the core of this issue lies the fear of vulnerability. Expressing our true desires and intentions can be daunting. We fear judgment, rejection, and misunderstanding. In a world that often values strength over emotional honesty, showing our true selves feels risky. This fear compels us to wear masks, to present a version of ourselves that we believe is more acceptable or appealing. When we choose to hide our true desires, we often resort to what can bluntly be called bullshitting. It's a defense mechanism, a way to navigate social interactions without exposing our authentic selves. We may agree when we disagree, feign interest, or even fabricate stories that align with perceived societal norms. This art of bullshitting, while it may offer temporary comfort or safety, distances us from our true essence.

The Consequences of this Inauthenticity

Living inauthentically has profound consequences. It not only hinders our personal growth but also affects the quality of our relationships. Connections built on half-truths and concealed desires lack depth and authenticity. They are like houses built on sand, vulnerable to the tides of change. Embracing our inner truth is a courageous act. It requires self-awareness, acceptance, and the willingness to be vulnerable. This journey isn't easy. It involves confronting fears, unlearning conditioned behaviors, and often, facing societal backlash. However, the freedom and authenticity it brings are transformative. In the realm of spiritual growth, aligning our inner truth with our outward expressions is paramount. It's about shedding layers of ego and societal conditioning, and bravely stepping into our authentic selves. This alignment is not just about honesty with the world, but honesty with ourselves. It's recognizing and embracing our desires, our fears, our strengths, and our weaknesses.

The path to revealing our true desires and intentions is a crucial part of our spiritual and personal development.

It's about breaking free from the chains of inauthenticity and embracing the vulnerability of our true selves. As we embark on this journey, we find that the most profound connections and growth come from a place of honesty and authenticity. Let's have the courage to stop bullshitting the world, and more importantly, ourselves. In doing so, we not only transform our own lives but also bring a deeper, more authentic connection to the world around us.



Care to find your TRUE self?

The Illusion of 'Being First': Embracing a More Enlightened Approach to Success

.. The desire to be first, to have the most, and to stand above others, is frequently seen as a symbol of strength and success. However, this pursuit can be a sign of underlying weakness, a lack of inner balance, and a disconnection from a more enlightened state of being.

Stepping on others to be first, shows the world that you are truly last.

In today's fast-paced world, where the race to be first often eclipses the journey itself, we need to pause and reflect on what truly matters.

The desire to be first, to have the most, and to stand above others, is frequently seen as a symbol of strength and success. However, this pursuit can be a sign of underlying weakness, a lack of inner balance, and a disconnection from a more enlightened state of being.

The race to be first is deeply rooted in material success - the most money, the biggest house, the latest gadgets. It's a race that never ends, as there is always something newer, bigger, or better. But is this a true measure of success? Material possessions are fleeting. They bring temporary happiness, but they cannot fill the void of spiritual emptiness. In this context, the need to be first is not a strength but a reflection of inner insecurity and a craving for external validation.

True strength lies in contentment and inner peace. It's not about having all the toys but finding joy and fulfillment in what we have. This doesn't mean abandoning ambition or not striving for improvement. Instead, it's about recognizing that our worth isn't defined by our possessions or our position in a societal race. When we detach from the need to be first, we open ourselves to a more profound sense of happiness. We start valuing experiences over possessions, relationships over rankings, and personal growth over public recognition.

The pursuit of being first often leads to a solitary journey, where the focus is on individual achievement at the expense of collective well-being. But what if we shifted this perspective? What if success was measured by how much we contribute to the happiness and growth of others? Imagine a world where our goals are not about having more than our neighbors but ensuring that everyone has enough. This shift in mindset fosters a sense of community, empathy, and mutual support. It's not about diminishing personal success but about redefining it in a way that benefits all.

Enlightenment is about transcending the material race and finding a deeper, more meaningful connection with the universe. It's about understanding that our true essence is not defined by what we have but by who we are and how we impact the world. To be enlightened is to see beyond the superficial markers of success. It's to recognize that our true strength lies in our ability to uplift others, to share our blessings, and to live in harmony with the world around us.

In conclusion, the need to be first and have the most is a sign of weakness, not strength. True strength comes from inner balance, contentment, and a desire for collective well-being. As we strive for personal growth and enlightenment, let's redefine success in a way that nurtures not just ourselves but the world around us. Let's celebrate not what we have individually, but what we can achieve and share together.

A big heaping of word food for mind hunger, dont ya’ think?

The Road Not Seen: Learning from Our Ego's Missteps

Have you ever approached a teacher or a mentor, seeking guidance, only to let your ego convince you that you knew better?

It's a peculiar twist, isn't it? We seek out someone for their wisdom, and then, at the pivotal moment, our pride blinds us. This is a story not just about a wrong turn but about the humbling lessons that follow. Picture this: you're standing at a crossroads in your life. You know you need guidance, so you seek out a teacher……

The wild buffalo of balance ©2023 Life in Synergy®

Hello there, friends.

Have you ever approached a teacher or a mentor, seeking guidance, only to let your ego convince you that you knew better?

It's a peculiar twist, isn't it? We seek out someone for their wisdom, and then, at the pivotal moment, our pride blinds us. This is a story not just about a wrong turn but about the humbling lessons that follow. Picture this: you're standing at a crossroads in your life. You know you need guidance, so you seek out a teacher. But as they begin to share their wisdom, a voice inside you whispers, “You know better.” This is where the journey takes an unexpected turn. The moment we tell our teacher, "I know more," we embark on a path led by ego. It seems right, fueled by a sense of self-assuredness. But soon, this path reveals its true nature – a labyrinth of repetitive patterns and missed wisdom. The wrong turn wasn't just a stray path; it was a mirror showing us the complexities of our own pride. Realizing the folly, we often then retreat to seek answers alone, jumping from book to book, philosophy to philosophy. Each book, each idea, feels like a step towards redemption, a way to fill the gaps we created. But the real answer isn't in the pages; it's in the unspoken dialogue between our ego and humility.

Revisiting the Teacher

There's profound power in revisiting that moment of prideful assertion.

What if admitting "I thought I knew more" is the first step towards truly understanding the bigger picture? This humbling return to the teacher – be it a person, a moment, or an experience – is where true learning resumes. The integration of this lesson is a dance of humility and wisdom. It's recognizing that our journey is enriched not just by the knowledge we seek from a mentor but also by understanding the limits of what we know. It's a delicate balance between seeking guidance and valuing the wisdom we already possess. Armed with this new understanding, our journey takes a more open-hearted turn. We still seek knowledge, but with an awareness of our own fallibility. Each step, each 'mistake', becomes a valuable chapter in our book of life, teaching us about humility, wisdom, and the beauty of lifelong learning.

In the end, our wrong turn – telling a teacher we knew more – becomes a critical point of growth. It's a chance for a lesson in humility, in the value of guidance, and in the power of admitting our missteps. Our paths are not just about the knowledge we gain but also about the wisdom we discover in our own vulnerabilities.

Today, think back to a moment when your ego led the way.

What did this experience teach you? Remember, the most profound lessons often come from acknowledging our misjudgments and embracing the journey back to humility and learning that leads back to the teacher that we thought we knew more. We always would joke at our multi award winning wellness studio on Boston’s Newbury street with this statement when clients entered the “ I know”….” I have no idea what you are talking about, but I know more about it than you”.

When Déjà Vu, the Energy of Memories, and the Loop of Eternity Cross Paths: A Comedy of Errors

When Déjà Vu, the Energy of Memories, and the Loop of Eternity Cross Paths: A Comedy of Errors…..

Hello, fellow truth-seekers! today, we're going to take a concept that's as old as time itself, "repetitive memory energy", wrap it up in a spicy burrito of humor, and try to make some sense out of it. Who said spiritual education can't be funny? Let's dive in!

Energy, Energy Everywhere

Let's begin with energy. It's in everything - powering your phone, making your morning coffee, helping you run (away from your responsibilities, probably) - and more abstractly, it's even part of our thoughts and memories. Imagine, if you will, that memories themselves have energy. Like that time when you confidently yelled the wrong answer in class and the room went silent. Oh, yeah. We've all been there. That memory has its own, personal energy signature.

Repetitive Memory Energy, The “Copy-Paste” of Life

When you replay this memory over and over (usually at 3 AM when you're trying to sleep), you're amplifying and repeating its energy. This is what we're calling "repetitive memory energy". It's like a cosmic game of "copy-paste", where the pasted version gets a little brighter and more impactful each time. Like if you tried to copy-paste a sandwich to feed all your friends, but with each paste, the sandwich became spicier. After a few times, your friends are on fire, and you're wondering why you thought magic sandwich copy-pasting was a good idea.

The Time Loop of Doom (Doom…Doom…Doom)

Now, as hilarious as that image may be (especially if you're imagining their reactions), there's an interesting concept here. If this energy we're creating by reliving our memories is influencing our present and future, are we just setting ourselves up to relive the same problems? It's like we're stuck in a movie loop, a la 'Groundhog Day'. Imagine if every day was the day you called your teacher "Mom" in second grade. Yikes!

Energy Vampires, or: How We Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Past

Here's the educational part: we can change the script. The first step? Recognizing that we're feeding these memory vampires. They thrive on the energy we pour into them. The more we focus on our past missteps, the more we replay that epic faceplant we did while trying to impress our crush, the stronger these memories become.

But what if we change the channel?

What if we focus on the energy of our successes, our wins, our happiest moments? Like the time you nailed that presentation or baked the perfect lasagna that would've made Garfield purr. That's right, even you, the reader, have achievements that deserve to be replayed on your mental highlight reel.

The Comedy in Our Errors

So, are we doomed to keep reliving our problems in an eternal cosmic comedy show? Only if we keep buying tickets. The moment we stop laughing at our own reruns (or cringing, as the case may be) and start premiering some fresh, positive content, we break the cycle. Click here to learn how to stop.

Like any great comedian knows (Right Colin?), timing is everything. In life, it's time we start learning from our past, laughing about it, and focusing on creating a better future. Because, at the end of the day, life might be an absurd comedy, but it's our absurd comedy. And who doesn't love a good laugh?

So here's to embracing our memory energy, however repetitive, to stop creating the same problems and start crafting new narratives. After all, if life is a sitcom, it's up to us to write the hilarious punchlines.

Let's make them good ones.

Helena and Brian

Where have we been? In Europe doing what is needed for our world. See? Walking the walk isn’t as easy as just talking the talk. But actions speak more than any words and just look around to see the shit show currently. Care to join us in changing the course of the world?

The Duplicity of Human Nature: A Nuanced Examination

As an inherent aspect of our existence, this duality reveals a complex interplay between seemingly contradictory facets of our character. In this deep deep blog, we will….

The duplicity of human nature has long fascinated psychologists, sociologists, and philosophers alike.

As an inherent aspect of our existence, this duality reveals a complex interplay between seemingly contradictory facets of our character. In this deep deep blog, we will delve into the origins, expressions, and implications of this duplicity, exploring the factors that contribute to its manifestation and how it shapes human behavior.

Origins of Duplicity in Human Nature

The concept of duplicity in human nature has its roots in various philosophical and religious traditions. Ancient philosophers, such as Plato and Aristotle, alluded to the duality of the human soul, which comprises rational and irrational elements. Similarly, religious texts such as the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita emphasize the struggle between good and evil within the individual. The notion of duplicity has evolved over time, with more recent psychological theories, such as Freud's structural model of the psyche, also positing the existence of conflicting internal forces that shape human behavior.

Biological and Social Factors

The duplicity of human nature stems from both biological and social factors. On a biological level, the dualistic nature can be attributed to the interplay between the brain's emotional and rational processing centers. The amygdala, responsible for the emotional response, often conflicts with the prefrontal cortex, which governs rational thinking. This tug-of-war between emotion and reason is a cornerstone of human duplicity.

Social factors also contribute to the dualistic nature of humans. Socialization processes, including cultural norms, family dynamics, and peer influences, play a crucial role in shaping the individual's self-concept and behavior. Individuals often learn to navigate social environments by adopting context-dependent personas, which can lead to inconsistencies in self-presentation and behavior.

Expressions of Duplicity

The duplicity of human nature manifests itself in various aspects of human behavior. Some common expressions of duplicity include:

  1. Moral Duality: The struggle between moral and immoral inclinations is a classic expression of human duplicity. Research suggests that individuals often experience a conflict between their moral compass and their self-serving desires, leading to moral dilemmas and discrepancies in behavior.

  2. Authenticity and Inauthenticity: Duplicity can also emerge in the form of authenticity and inauthenticity. Individuals may present themselves differently in different contexts, leading to a discrepancy between their true self and the personas they adopt in different situations.

  3. Cognitive Dissonance: The experience of cognitive dissonance, or the psychological discomfort caused by holding conflicting beliefs or attitudes, is another manifestation of the duplicity of human nature. Individuals may engage in self-deceptive practices to reconcile these conflicts, further complicating their sense of self.

Implications of Duplicity

The duplicity of human nature carries several implications for both the individual and society. On an individual level, this duality can lead to internal conflicts, emotional turmoil, and a fragmented sense of self. Additionally, the adoption of different personas can strain interpersonal relationships and hinder the development of genuine connections. On a societal level, the duplicity of human nature can contribute to social inequality, as individuals may exploit their duplicitous nature to gain unfair advantages or manipulate others. Furthermore, this duplicity can impede collective action on pressing issues, as individuals and groups may prioritize self-interest over the common good.

The duplicity of human nature is a multifaceted phenomenon with deep roots in biological and social processes.

Its various expressions and implications have profound consequences for both individual well-being and societal functioning. A deeper understanding of this duplicity can provide valuable insights into human behavior and contribute to more effective interventions that promote personal growth and social cohesion.

Embracing Our Mistakes: How Admitting We're Wrong Can Lead to Spiritual Growth

Society often equates being wrong with weakness, but in reality, accepting our mistakes is a crucial step in personal and spiritual growth. In this blog, we'll delve into the importance of….

In a world where it's increasingly easy to hide behind our screens and deflect accountability, admitting when we're wrong can be a daunting task.

Society often equates being wrong with weakness, but in reality, accepting our mistakes is a crucial step in personal and spiritual growth. In this blog, we'll delve into the importance of recognizing our errors, the benefits it brings to our spiritual journey, and how we can cultivate the humility to own up to our mistakes.

The Fear of Being Wrong

The fear of being wrong is deeply ingrained in our psyche. From a young age, we're taught to avoid making mistakes, as they're seen as signs of incompetence or failure. But this mindset can be detrimental to our growth. If we're always worried about appearing perfect or infallible, we'll be hesitant to take risks, explore new ideas, or grow from our experiences.

Admitting We're Wrong: A Pillar of Spiritual Growth

  1. Fosters humility and self-awareness

When we admit that we're wrong, we cultivate a sense of humility and self-awareness that is essential for personal and spiritual growth. Recognizing our imperfections allows us to see ourselves and the world around us more clearly, enabling us to make more informed decisions and grow in wisdom.

  1. Encourages learning and growth

Mistakes are opportunities to learn and grow. When we admit our errors, we open ourselves up to new insights and understanding. Embracing our mistakes can lead to valuable life lessons and spiritual growth, as it teaches us to be more adaptable and resilient in the face of adversity.

  1. Strengthens relationships

Owning up to our mistakes can strengthen relationships by fostering trust, respect, and empathy. When we admit our faults, we show that we value honesty and are willing to take responsibility for our actions. This can lead to deeper connections with others, as it encourages open communication and understanding.

  1. Promotes self-compassion and forgiveness

Admitting we're wrong also helps us develop self-compassion and forgiveness. By acknowledging our mistakes, we learn to accept our imperfections and treat ourselves with kindness and understanding. This self-compassion, in turn, allows us to extend forgiveness and empathy to others, nurturing our spiritual growth and fostering a more compassionate world.

Cultivating the Ability to Admit We're Wrong

  1. Practice self-awareness

Developing self-awareness is the first step in admitting when we're wrong. This involves paying attention to our thoughts, emotions, and actions, and reflecting on how they affect ourselves and others. By becoming more aware of our internal and external experiences, we can better identify when we've made a mistake and take responsibility for it.

  1. Cultivate humility

Humility is essential for admitting we're wrong, as it allows us to recognize that we are not infallible and that our perspectives may be limited. Cultivating humility involves embracing our imperfections, seeking feedback from others, and remaining open to new ideas and viewpoints.

  1. Foster a growth mindset

Adopting a growth mindset is crucial for embracing our mistakes and using them as opportunities for growth. This involves viewing challenges and setbacks as chances to learn and develop, rather than as indicators of failure or incompetence.

  1. Practice self-compassion and forgiveness

Learning to forgive ourselves and others for mistakes is essential for spiritual growth. By practicing self-compassion and extending empathy to others, we can create a more compassionate and understanding environment, both within ourselves and in our relationships with others.

Admitting when we're wrong is not a sign of weakness; rather, it is an essential step in personal and spiritual ascension. If you are strong enough to exert yourself physically, have you done so spiritually?

Life is much more than you think.

The Road to Social Wellness: Navigating Connections in a Complex World

Social wellness refers to the ability to develop and maintain meaningful, positive relationships with others while effectively navigating various social situations….

In a fast-paced world where technology, globalization, and shifting social norms are continually shaping our interactions, social wellness has become an increasingly important aspect of overall well-being.

Social wellness refers to the ability to develop and maintain meaningful, positive relationships with others while effectively navigating various social situations. It is a critical component of personal growth, mental health, and happiness. In this blog post, we will explore the different dimensions of social wellness, discuss the importance of fostering strong connections, and provide practical tips on how to improve your social well-being.

Dimensions of Social Wellness

  1. Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Emotional intelligence, or EQ, is the capacity to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions and those of others. People with high EQ can empathize, communicate effectively, and build strong relationships.

  2. Communication Skills The ability to express oneself clearly and assertively while also listening actively and openly to others is an essential element of social wellness. Good communication fosters understanding, trust, and mutual respect.

  3. Social Support A robust social support network is a vital component of social wellness. Having a circle of friends, family, and acquaintances who provide emotional, informational, and practical support can significantly impact our overall well-being.

  4. Conflict Resolution Learning how to manage conflicts constructively and find mutually beneficial solutions is an important aspect of social wellness. It enables us to maintain harmony in our relationships and fosters a sense of belonging.

The Importance of Social Wellness

  1. Physical Health Benefits Research has shown that strong social connections can lead to a healthier lifestyle, lower stress levels, and even increase longevity. Socially well individuals are more likely to engage in regular exercise, eat healthily, and maintain a balanced lifestyle.

  2. Mental Health Benefits Socially connected individuals are less likely to experience depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Social support can help buffer against stress and provide a sense of belonging and purpose.

  3. Personal Growth Being socially well allows for personal growth and development. Engaging with others exposes us to new perspectives, ideas, and experiences, fostering a greater sense of self-awareness and understanding.

Tips for Improving Social Wellness

  1. Cultivate Emotional Intelligence To improve your EQ, practice self-awareness, empathy, and active listening. Reflect on your emotions and reactions to various situations and work on understanding others' perspectives and feelings.

  2. Develop Communication Skills Learn how to express your thoughts and feelings assertively without being aggressive. Practice active listening by giving others your full attention, asking open-ended questions, and reflecting on what they have said.

  3. Build a Support Network Invest time in developing meaningful relationships with friends, family, and colleagues. Attend social events, join clubs or organizations, and participate in community activities to expand your social circle.

  4. Learn Conflict Resolution Techniques Develop skills for managing conflicts in a healthy way, such as using "I" statements, identifying common goals, and finding win-win solutions. Practicing these techniques can help reduce tension in your relationships and create a more positive social environment.

  5. Set Boundaries Establishing healthy boundaries with others is crucial for maintaining social wellness. Communicate your limits, be assertive when needed, and learn to say no when necessary.

Social wellness is a multifaceted concept that encompasses our ability to create and maintain meaningful relationships, communicate effectively, and navigate the complexities of social interactions. By cultivating emotional intelligence through deep introspection and constant improvement through developing intuitive communication skills, building a strong internal voice, and learning to resolve past patterned conflicts, we can enhance our social well-being and ultimately lead a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Patterns: the Building Blocks of the World Around Us

By understanding patterns, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world around us and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the universe……


Patterns are everywhere in the world around us, from the stripes on a zebra to the stars in the sky.

They are an essential aspect of human perception and understanding, providing a way to organize and make sense of the complexity of the world. In this article, we will explore what patterns are, why they matter, and how they can be used in various fields.

What are patterns?

A pattern can be defined as a repeated design or sequence that is recognizable or predictable. Patterns can be found in many forms, such as visual patterns, sound patterns, behavioral patterns, or mathematical patterns. They are often used in art, design, mathematics, science, and many other fields to create order and meaning.

One of the most common forms of patterns is visual patterns, which can be found in nature, art, and many other aspects of human life. For example, the spirals in a seashell or the veins in a leaf are visual patterns that occur in the natural world. In art, patterns are often used to create visual interest and can be found in a wide range of media, such as textiles, ceramics, and painting.

Why do patterns matter?

Patterns are important because they help us make sense of the world around us. They allow us to organize and categorize information, which can help us identify and understand complex relationships. For example, patterns in mathematical sequences or equations can help scientists and mathematicians understand and predict the behavior of physical phenomena.

In addition, patterns can be used as a powerful tool for communication. Visual patterns, for example, can convey information and meaning without the use of words. In some cultures, patterns are used to represent ideas, beliefs, or cultural traditions. For example, traditional patterns in African textiles often have specific meanings and represent important cultural values.

How are patterns used in various fields?

Patterns are used in many different fields, from mathematics and science to art and design. In mathematics, patterns are used to identify and understand relationships between numbers or other mathematical concepts. In science, patterns are often used to identify trends in data or to predict the behavior of complex systems.

In art and design, patterns are often used as a way to create visual interest and to convey meaning. Patterns can be found in many different media, from textiles and ceramics to painting and graphic design. In architecture, patterns are used to create visual interest and to enhance the aesthetic appeal of buildings.

Conclusion

Patterns are an essential aspect of human perception and understanding, providing a way to organize and make sense of the complexity of the world. They can be found in many forms, such as visual patterns, sound patterns, behavioral patterns, or mathematical patterns, and are used in various fields, such as mathematics, science, art, and design. By understanding patterns, we can gain a deeper understanding of the world around us and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the universe.

The Importance of Wellness: How to Lead a Healthier and Happier Life

It encompasses various factors, such as physical health, mental health, social connections, and sleep. Achieving and maintaining wellness can help improve physical and mental performance……

Wellness is a term that refers to the overall well-being of a person, including their physical, mental, and emotional health.

It encompasses a wide range of factors, such as healthy eating habits, regular exercise, quality sleep, stress management, social connections, and mental health care. Achieving and maintaining wellness is essential for leading a healthy and happy life.

Physical Health

Physical health is the foundation of overall wellness. It involves maintaining a healthy weight, consuming a balanced and nutritious diet, and engaging in regular physical activity. A healthy diet should include a variety of foods from all major food groups, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats. Physical activity can help improve cardiovascular health, build muscle strength, increase endurance, and improve overall physical performance. Regular exercise can also reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.

Mental Health

Mental health is just as important as physical health. It involves the ability to manage stress, anxiety, and depression, and maintain healthy relationships with others. One way to maintain good mental health is to engage in stress-reducing activities, such as Apex Life in Synergy meditations, SFM, Life in Synergy Stretching & deep breathing exercises. It is also important to seek professional help if you are experiencing mental health issues, as a qualified therapist or counselor can provide support and guidance to help you navigate difficult emotions and situations.

Social Connections

Social connections are also important for overall wellness. Humans are social creatures and need social interaction to maintain good mental health. Spending time with friends and family, volunteering, or participating in group activities can help you feel connected and supported. This sense of belonging and social support can help improve mood and reduce stress levels.

Sleep

Quality sleep is essential for overall wellness. Adequate sleep helps restore the body and mind, and can improve physical and mental performance. Most adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep per night, and creating a sleep-friendly environment can help ensure quality sleep. This can include keeping the bedroom cool, quiet, and dark, avoiding electronics in the bedroom, and establishing a consistent sleep routine.

Conclusion

In conclusion, wellness is a holistic concept that involves the overall well-being of a person. It encompasses various factors, such as physical health, mental health, social connections, and sleep. Achieving and maintaining wellness can help improve physical and mental performance, increase life satisfaction, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

By adopting healthy habits and prioritizing self-care, you can lead a happier and healthier life.

When we speak of evil, we do so in the form of etheric energy manifesting as tangible events of evil on earth.

Now if you want to call it the devil, bad chi, negative karma, etc…it doesn’t matter, as you as the reader know what evil is in all forms however you see fit to describe it. But you also have to acknowledge that it does in fact exist on Earth and that in many ways it is like a virus that spreads to each new host, though, unlike a virus that invades indiscriminately, evil picks hosts that are willing to spread dysfunction through “peripheral” aspects of itself that are a beacon to the energy.

If that is somewhat confusing, let us phrase it this way…..

Evil will be pulled towards diluted versions of itself to multiply: Greed, deceit, unresolved insecurities, energies that can be exploited, as well as fears, and more. Now, this doesn’t mean that people who have any of these issues are evil, it means that evil is hungry for this type of energy to feed off. It is a slippery slope between someone being affected by evil then in turn causing problems for another person( virus) vs taking the time to dissolve the connection within So many instances over the years in our profession have we come across clients that had issues as far back as childhood that caused them to act out in later life when they became highly successful and able to cause pain and suffering for others.


Lack of control as a child? Then control others as an adult with deceit


Fear of providing for the family? Then tap the subconscious and lie to cause fear in someone else


Evil is seductive and will provide a person with a rush of stability and confidence, but just like any other drug, it will also decay the user and bring them to a state of internal rebellious denial screaming that “they” don’t have a problem and in many ways, they might even bullshit themselves to think that they are the most beautiful person on the planet. This happens when a person is encased in a vibration that is then a part of the persons being and they are so embedded in evil that they think that their actions ( despite any obvious contrary outcomes) are perfect. It is also what we called “The Elvis Syndrome” where people are around successful people but never speak out when actions go astray thus feeding the evil and allowing ego to spread unchecked.


Evil is an energy and can be addressed.


Right here, right now…care to aid the planet?

Flow or Undertow?

If you are willing to take the time and remove your thoughts from “reality” for a bit then I ask you to sit by some moving water. If you do not have access to a river, shoreline, etc….then how about an aquarium? No? Then how about a faucet or toilet? ….

Water is an amazing teacher and

meditative aid.

If you are willing to take the time and remove your thoughts from “reality” for a bit then I ask you to sit by some moving water. If you do not have access to a river, shoreline, etc….then how about an aquarium? No? Then how about a faucet or toilet? Don’t allow yourself to be trapped into one concept of consciousness where all things must be perfect in order to achieve some sense of ascension.

Humans just love to hold onto releasing….

I mean if I see one more “star” talk about “It’s not about the money” and how they let go of the desire to succeed and now are “all” about the oneness of being in the moment of the self where they can let go and simply “be”….( whatever the hell that means)…I will truly shit myself. Of course, they can let go…because they have already amassed huge fortunes from the latest digital fan hero fest saga or overpriced sage-scented face creams carried over sacred mountains by a golden yack or made the riches of Solomon from a pop tune that is ear wormed into your head for time eternal.

They already have the freedom to sit on their asses and tap into the facade of many “self-help” Gurus and feed into an industry that truly sells a person a bullshit bill of goods. Don’t get me wrong, money is important in this world but it has NEVER been my personal focus throughout my entire career. Even though we had a HUGE rent at our swanky studio in Boston’s Back Bay, I would treat roughly 35% of clients for free and did so for years. Why? Because who am I to deny the gifts given to me and not “allow” someone to visit with me because they were “poor”.

Fuck that….as I will always remember where I come from ( a shitty violent South Boston inner-city Housing project). So I know deep inside what it is like for someone to feel “less than”….it was my job to then change that frequency to “greater than” and I did…frequently for countless people. Now I am not up a high horse, but it is also what it is, so when I see people acting like walking prophets but are only concerned with “profits” then I have to speak the truth. I so want to have a meeting with these people/gurus/podcasting know-it-alls and say “ Hey bucko, show me your superpowers!” and if I am asked about mine? Well, which instances?

Curing the blind?

Ending depression?

Making infertile women have children? 30 years migraine ceasing after 1 visit? ( which I have done…..and on and on)

See “about us” and read some clients’ testimonials if you think I am bullshitting.

Water time

Now, what should you do with water?

Well, 1st…observe it.

Appreciate the fluidity and motion and its ability to change its state into liquid, solid, and gas. 3 states of being as one.

Hmmmmm? Triune state as one… Somewhat “Holy” don’t you think? Now ponder that for a second if you are dwelling on an issue or “problem”. This Hydrogen and Oxygen substance changes states based on surroundings and yet humans hold onto situations and want “others” to change vs seeing the connection to the whole and taking the time to transmute inner stagnations…water seems to know itself more than most humans.

Watch it support and move items that live in it, see its willingness to become whatever vessel shape it is poured into…It doesn’t “poo poo” a situation, it simply flows and becomes the situation. As you are watching ( whether it is a stream or running faucet) enlighten yourself with the FACT that you are roughly 60% water and your consciousness either impedes the flow or allows the state of change of ANY “problem”.

You are water….so stop running from yourself, you are a natural flow.

After us there will be________?

Imagine……

Imagine you were let’s say, Ben Franklin, Frederick Douglass, or how about one of the Wright Brothers.

Could you imagine that your thoughts and actions at the time would lead to so much change in the future?

Far too often we forget that we are shaping reality through our efforts ( both good and bad). We think a closed business deal is a totality, a “great” day is better than a “bad” day or ego-based actions are “what” the world needs ( think penis-shaped rockets or deciding whatever tech social media babble is said is bond).

We want to colonize other planets and yet still haven’t stopped killing and hating each other here on Earth?

Now excuse me for being bold, but what exactly the fuck? Do these tech bro czars realize that they want to move “Earthlings” to Mars but haven’t looked at the concept of taking care of human consciousness BEFORE we do so? You don’t need an MIT or Yale degree to see that transferring a race chock full of racism and hate to another area and thinking that the same thing happened on Earth won’t happen there as well is….

Actual madness if you think about it.

We have computers between our ears, but fail to see that our brain software needs a HUGE update…we still are extensions of a hunter-gatherer mentality that discounts others to “get ours”. How long do you think that a tribe on Mars would last if we brought all our unresolved bullshit to another planet? Imagine if there was an impending disaster that would wipe out Earth and that these ego cock rockets were the arks that would be the last hope for humanity to survive as a race.

How long before the Billionaires realized that THEY had to pick up their own garbage? Clean their own pod? and GASP Treated someone else like their equal? (Insert spooky 1950s horror theme sound here). Yup…it would be the end of humanity and the blip that was humans would indeed be over. So, how about stepping back for a moment and think…hmmmmmm? Could this guy on this website I never heard of actually be correct?

It isn’t hard to see…..we need to ascend internally before we ascend to other planets physically.

4 Tips to Destress

I wanted to repost my tips that I was interviewed by Boston Magazine a few years ago…..with so much stress in the world, I wanted to give a few tips to help with body energy and ascension from life-sucking levels of anxiety and doom…..

Stress

I wanted to repost my tips that I was interviewed by Boston Magazine a few years ago…..with so much stress in the world, I wanted to give a few tips to help with body energy and ascension from life-sucking levels of anxiety and doom.

Scenario One: Yet Another T Breakdown or Mass Pike Traffic Jam

Instead of stewing about how late you’ll be, use your stationary time to think of something positive, Collins says.

“If you are frustrated, then create the energy of pleasure in your head. Replay a positive scenario that you have had in the past over and over for three minutes in your mind,” he recommends. “This personal life experience mantra will help to change your overall vibe and make a crappy situation more tolerable.”

Scenario Two: Work Stress

Whether it’s a tight deadline, a demanding boss, or an always-annoying co-worker, the office is rife with stressful situations. When dealing with the irritating desk-mate, Collins suggests looking inward.

“You have to realize that you can never change the other person,” he says. “If they are annoying, could you be producing annoyance energy in any way?” Take a minute to take stock of your own internal state and the vibes you’re putting off.

Scenario Three: Dealing with Rudeness

Next time your barista snaps at you or a stranger jostles you out of the way on the T, Collins says to analyze where in your body you hold that stress—maybe you make a fist or hunch your shoulders—and let it go.

“Everyone has a specific storage bank in the body that stress makes deposits to when you encounter people that pull your ‘rude trigger,'” he says. “Next time you encounter a rude person, simply adjust this area by taking a long breath, hold it for a moment, exhale, and focus in on your storage bank and relax this affected zone.”

Scenario Four: The Seat-Kicker

It’s a rule of the universe that a child will kick the back of your seat on every long flight, ever. Collins insists the annoyance can be spun into a positive.

“What I do is envision the kicks as a release mechanism,” Collins says, adding that this mindset may take a while to adopt. “With each kick, I see my tension subsiding versus increasing. I use the child’s actions to bypass a normal emotional response.”

Enjoy the above and check out our amazing mindfulness programs available to you.,,,they contain some really really good shit.
