🇮🇩 Vibe Update: How to Honor Your Energy & Tips on Frequencies
How do you feel moment to moment? Because that is actually your life, not being distracted by your plans of the future, not being nostalgic about where you'll go next. It's the "now."
At some point, we do need to be "here." In this episode I talk about that, plus some realizations I've had about attention, patience, and energy from 4+ years of global travel.
There is a charged feeling permeating the planet right now. Can you feel it? Is anyone else feeling this "immediate" or fiery sensation that I'm feeling?
Please comment and let me know. I respond to every comment. ♥️
I close the episode with some reflections about channeling art and the reality of being a creator/artist in this new era. The hall of mirrors can be wild!

🇮🇳 Face-to-Face with Kali: A Stunning Encounter at Dakshineswar Temple
This week, I visit the legendary Dakshineswar Kali Temple and experience something I’m still trying to put into words. Standing before Kali, I had a strange, ineffable moment that felt like an initiation.
We also explore the temple complex, including the 12 Shiva shrines that line the river, each one containing a shiva lingam illuminated with neon blue light. The atmosphere is surreal and intense.
I wrap up with reflections on couchsurfing in India, along with some grounded advice and insights for Western travelers navigating the country for the first time.
India continues to surprise me in the best ways, and I can’t wait to share more stories in the weeks ahead.
