why do you ring a bell when you enter a temple?

My relationship with the word ‘god’ has changed drastically over the past few years.

Risk-taking - a practice for growth which can also be a path to self-destruction

I’ve been asked to be a part of an interview for a local mag and the question they presented me involved risk. Here’s the preview. Perhaps even the final draft of my response. I’d love to hear about your relationship with risk-taking in the comments too! ❤ Risk taking: how do you think about risk, what role has taking risks played in your life/career?

BKK street style gua sha facial

Though I’m not interested in bringing ‘beauty’ or ‘spa’ like services to the practice, I have started to offer facial gua sha massage for clients (Thai inspired!). Here’s a lady showcasing her skill on the streets of BKK! I love how she just casually answers the phone while gua sha-ing someone’s back without it affecting her rhythm. They say ‘the masters’ can multi-task and I’ve heard stories…

Discovering Mae Nak Phra Khanong --- Thailands Legendary Loving Ghost

When I was younger and would travel solo, I rarely had the time or resources to meaning-make of all of the cultural phenomena I would experience. This is not to say that I did *a lot* by any means – however the journeys I *did* go on, were all profound. Since I’m invested in learning about the culture of Thailand as it connects with my practice, I have slowly been picking away at questions that…
