Spirituality is not difficult; there is just a certain subtlety to it that people don’t understand. The hopeless thing about spirituality is that the effort you make to dissolve is also karma. You will not grow unless you create the desire to grow, to reach this. At the same time, if the desire continues, it is karma in itself and will continue to create new karma. But if you can get to a state where you are so involved and engaged in life that you don’t care at all, it’s very easy. You have to be involved and do things…
If you ask anyone who knows me well, my balance is (happily) garbageI can stand on one leg comfortably and I regularly (with limited success) do calf raises while brushing my teeth (the best form of multitasking, right?), but add a wobbly element to the mix and I end up looking like a baby giraffe with my limbs dangling all over the place.But as a health and fitness writer, I’m also well aware of how important balance and stability are: Not only do they help prevent falls and reduce your risk of injury (not to mention increasing your chances of…

According to the authors, studies have shown that 65-70% of food in grocery stores is unhealthy based on nutritional criteria. Our food products contain too much salt, fat and sugar. (Photo: Metro Creative Services) Five years ago, before “plant-based” became trendy, I identified 12 factors I believed were supporting the “food as medicine” megatrend.
