I've written before about my end of the year ritual in here and here. It's a simple "ritual" where I analyze the year coming to an end, and establish the objectives for the new year. It gives me closure and prepares me for a new cycle. I highly recommend you to do...

Internal vs external magnetism
A student asked me about a very magnetic friend that had severe trauma in his past, gets depressed often and pretty much breaks every rule in the book about inner power. According to what we talk about magnetism, it shouldn't be possible... right? Yes, it can. Many...
Developing a positive mental attitude
Here's an interesting quote from William Walker Atkinson: "In a general way, mental attitudes may be divided into two classes, viz.: (1) positive and (2) negative. It is difficult, at first, to give the keynote of each of these two classes of mental attitude, but I...
