She had been jogging and although she made it a point to never interrupt her run with a stop for a smoothie or other drink, on one occasion she felt uncontrollably compelled to do so. It was there on that day in the small café that she met someone who is now her husband.

Stephen Hawking shared his birth and death dates with Galileo and Einstein. Are any of these events coincidences?

A coincidence is when an event that, though accidental, seems to have been planned or arranged. When we think of ...

It is common knowledge that children learn by observing and copying, but did you know that babies start learning from their mothers’ wombs?  As per an article published by the University of Washington on January 2, 2013, a 30 week old foetus actually listens to, and learns from the mother’s speech.  Just hours after being born, the baby can differentiate between its native language and a foreign language. In the same cadence, powered with the curiosity of a child and the choices we make along t...

Do you have a favorite color that dominates your wardrobe choices? Is it based on fashion trends? Color psychology is the study of hues that affect human behavior. Color has been used in the fashion industry to provoke certain feelings that complement specific clothes designs. For instance, red reflects power, strength, daring, and risk and might be used to create an elegant but bold evening dress. Blue is the opposite of red and tends to invoke feelings of calm and trust. It is often used in m...

When we talk about the subject of cleansing the body and system, most of us think about the external products that we apply, and much less about the internal elements of which we are comprised. Or perhaps we simply ensure, as conventional wisdom suggests, that we eat a ‘healthy’ diet and drink ‘enough’ water.

While we are well aware of the standard recommendation to ‘drink 8 glasses of water a day’, what attention is paid to the quality of the water that we drink or how to store this water in a...

Are you content with your life right now? How many times in a day can you say you shine inwardly, like an infant’s radiant smile? Are the people you interact with happy or are they a rollercoaster of emotions and goals?

During this time of stress and global changes due to COVID-19 and other factors, many people are questioning different aspects of their lives. What is more important, family or work? Does buying that new car really enhance your life? How responsible are we as a  community or nat...

We have so many different kinds of relationships in our lives. How we understand these relationships and how we define what love is, have a lot to do with how successfully these relationships are nurtured over time. 

What are the ingredients and ways of relating needed for a truly loving relationship?

You may have noticed that what can tend to work so well in the beginning may suddenly not seem sustainable at some point. What is the reason for this?

In this video, Sadhguru explains why what som...

Several ancient cultures, such as those of the Greeks, Japanese, Chinese, and Indians, have developed a Five Elements theory. The common attributes of this theory attempt to define natural phenomena and the creation of our world. However, even though those cultures have specified very similar elements, they have defined the role of each element differently. This makes it difficult to determine how to make proper use of this knowledge.

Sadhguru discusses the five elements of creation and the imp...

When it comes to karma, many of us immediately associate it with the words ‘good and bad’, as has become familiar even in the lexicon of popular culture. This leads to connecting it with some sense of reward or punishment.

 In addition, many of us seem to think it is something above and beyond our control. We’re either blessed with good karma, or pre-destined to an ill fate. 

In this video, Sadhguru clears misconceptions about what the word karma means as well as ideas on how much of our life i...

Science, for its part, dictates that there are three major processes involved in memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval. And then, there are different types of memory, such as that contained in our cells that enables them to function according to their particular coding system.

When we speak about memory, most people think about recalling past events or trying to memorize information for tests. But there seems to be so much more to how, why, and what we remember. There is also the fact that t...

Most people embrace change when it concerns the latest tech gadget, a better paying job, or finding that special someone after the last relationship went sour. These types of changes are sought after, based on the belief that changing our external situation will bring long-lasting happiness. But is this really the case?

How many times have you, or others you know, found that a new gadget, job, or relationship did not solve all your problems? Your mind still downloads negative thoughts and worri...
