The Art of Remembering: Finding Pieces of Your Soul in the Everyday
Life’s unremarkable moments are often where the deepest treasures are buried. To remember oneself is an art that has less to do with grand revelation and more with the quiet persistence of presence. This remembering begins in the daily ritual of showing up to your life, alert and attuned to what stirs within. It’s the thread of your soul waiting for you to follow, through the mundane and into the sacred.
The Art of Remembering: Finding Pieces of Your Soul in the Everyday
The art of soul work is not confined to rituals performed in hushed rooms or grand ceremonies that summon distant echoes; it is found in the smallest, most ordinary acts. It’s in the way you greet the morning, in how you touch the edge of an old photograph, in the pause before you speak a word that carries weight. To remember the soul is to practice an ancient kind of listening, one that feels more like a remembering than a discovery.

Beyond Healing: The Journey to Empowerment
Healing is an old song that life sings, a lullaby passed down by time itself. It is slow, deliberate, weaving through your being like the wind through tall grass. But empowerment—now that is a drumbeat, a summons. It is not content to linger on the edges; it calls you to rise, to stand in your story as if it were your birthright. Healing and empowerment may share the same soil, but they are not the same fruit.
The Art of Remembering: Gathering Fragments of Your Soul in the Everyday
To meet the pieces of your own soul isn’t a grand arrival but a quiet reckoning. It’s the act of showing up, allowing your presence to fill each small moment. The journey to the soul, strange as it may seem, begins in the unremarkable places of daily life, woven into the plain threads of habit and the ordinary rhythm of breath. When I guide clients in reconnecting with their soul’s essence, I invite them to find themselves not in the rare and the extraordinary but in the close and the familiar. It’s a slow, grounded presence, a kind of noticing, that can reveal this connection—a steady magnetism that draws the soul back into each part of the day.
Meeting Your Shadow: The Compassionate Path to Wholeness
There are parts of ourselves we shun, exiling them to the far corners of memory and will. These shadow selves, made of fear, regret, or unspoken shame, seem to lurk as harbingers of what must not be known. But to meet them with compassion—to turn toward them, not away—is to begin the real work of remembering who you are in full.
Shadow work is not a fashionable phrase for fleeting encounters with discomfort; it’s a reckoning, a homecoming, a sacred duty to the self you left behind in moments of abandonment or self-denial. To approach the shadow, one must hold a light not just steady but tenderly,
Meeting the Shadow: A Compassionate Reckoning with Ourselves
To meet the shadow is no simple handshake. It’s a reckoning, a turning toward the parts of ourselves that we’ve long held at bay, tucked away in the unlit corners of our being. Shadowwork isn’t about sidestepping or taming these aspects; it’s about greeting them with reverence and curiosity. When we meet the shadow compassionately, we’re opening a door, allowing the unhealed, the feared, and the forgotten aspects to stand fully seen in the light. It is the work of peeling back not just one layer, but layer upon layer, meeting what has been hidden without pretense and finding within it the possibility of wholeness.
Becoming a Beacon: Calling Forth Your Gifts and Purpose
Indicators of Alignment: Finding Your True Path Finding purpose doesn’t lie in some distant accomplishment or role to be fulfilled. Rather, it’s an attunement—a subtle yet unmistakable sense of being at home with oneself. Purpose isn’t an elusive calling reserved for a select few; it’s woven into our quiet knowing, a wordless alignment that fills us with an inner vitality. When we are aligned, it
The Art of Remembering: A Retreat into Your Authentic Self
There is a longing beneath the noise of daily life—a pull toward a truth you have known but not named. This is the sacred work: a retreat from the commonplace into the unmapped terrain of your true self. This space, uniquely created for each soul, is where masks are set aside, and the whispering depths of your essence are finally met with compassion. Imagine stepping
Beyond Healing: Liberating Yourself from Suffering into Empowerment
The Dance Between Healing and Empowerment In the landscape of healing work, healing and empowerment walk as close but separate companions. Healing is the slow work of unfolding what has been closed in us, of meeting suffering without looking away, of becoming familiar with the places we tend to sidestep. It is a patient and ongoing presence that demands resources—our resilience, our willingness, and our
Intuition as Compass: Trusting the Deep Knowing Within
Understanding Intuition: More Than a Feeling Intuition is not the murmur of something hidden; it’s a call to the deepest part of you, a summons that speaks from the heart’s center. It doesn’t arrive like a sudden thought, nor does it belong to the mind’s restless chatter. Intuition, as I’ve come to know it, is a settled presence—a grounded state of being that aligns you
Awaken the Dragon Within: A Journey into Courage, Community, and Creative Fire
There are books that tell stories, and then there are books that become stories in our lives—stories that awaken something dormant, urging us to rise into the fullness of who we are meant to be. My dear friend and my eye doctor, Dr. Vi Tu Banh’s Twelve Elephants and a Dragon is one such book. It’s not merely a recounting of his extraordinary life; it
What Lies Beneath: Unearthing the Stories That Shape Your Life
There, in the silence behind words and beneath the rush of thoughts, lie the stories we carry—stories we’ve inherited or dreamed up ourselves, often without knowing it. For most, these stories aren’t the product of truth but of a fear that’s gone unchecked and unchanged, a fear that determines how we see ourselves and the world. My work, this path of Intuitive Integrative Coaching, is
The Sacred Space of Self-Discovery: Preparing for an Intuitive Portrait Experience
In this 3D world where every face wears a story, preparing for an intuitive portrait is more than arranging hair and fabric—it’s the art of arriving at oneself.

Here, we explore self-connection meditations that do more than quiet the mind; they open gateways
The Inertia of Waiting: Rest as a Sacred Act in Unsettled Times
In this time on the planet, there’s a kind of aching tension many feel but rarely name. It’s the discomfort of waiting—not just for something specific, but for a moment when things might feel settled, less uncertain. It’s the weight of collective exhaustion, of trying to live purposefully while feeling pulled under by the seemingly endless stops and starts. It’s not laziness that slows us;
Have You Met the Real You?
In a world heavy with masks and postures, where we’re trained to wield a hundred different selves for a hundred different moments, it’s a rare thing to know your truest self—the one that waits beneath, untouched by roles, outside opinions, or the weight of becoming. This work, what I call Intuitive Integrative Coaching, is an invitation to journey inward, to move beyond what you show
The Twilight Space: Bearing Witness to the Crossing
Throughout my life, in moments of challenge or loss, I’ve always turned to intuitive journaling and integrative self-inquiry as a source of comfort and clarity. Writing has been my way of making sense of the things I couldn’t control, of finding some grounding in the chaos. It’s a process that has helped me navigate the darkest corners of my life.
