Learning how to accept yourself as a work in progress, to cultivate compassion in place of criticism, and nurturing and nourishing instead of neglecting yourself, is what I consider living your life as “a path of enlightenment.”

Unlike the single-focused, driving force, “make it happen” books and workshops that dominate the self-help market, the Hawaii Wellness Institute embraces the more yielding precepts of Eastern philosophies. We give emphasis to values like acceptance and peace of mind, while placing them within the context of Western values like efficiency, ambition, productivity and selfless service.

We get ourselves into trouble when we choose one way over the other. Both are needed: a rich life on the inside, through self-reflection and contemplation, and a rich life on the outside, through hard work, play, and creativity. Losing your balance means living a life of either/or instead of both/and. Both work and play, both aloneness and togetherness, both discipline and indulgence all result in a life that reflects equilibrium and peace of mind.

Commit to a life filled with more love and joy by eliminating old patterns that consistently result in stress. The journey of transforming your life requires rediscovering the core values you may have abandoned in your day-to-day life, simply because there hasn’t been enough time to keep up with it all.

To reverse the symptoms of self-neglect that result from the constant drive to cure, fix, acquire and improve yourself requires a belief change. You will have to commit to living according to your highest values first. You will
need to learn to distinguish whether your experiences of fear stem from your intuition or from your insecurity.

You can use self-hypnosis, personal inquiry, journaling, counseling, breath work, self-reflection, body consciousness, meditation and more to assist you. If you are ready for a personal transformation experience, and feel that you cannot break old patterns of thoughts and behaviors on your own, call for a session with me or join Roshani Shay for her upcoming meditation series. You will clear obstacles that arise on your own path of enlightenment and establish a new way of being, a new way of living your own best life.
