The new beginning and reborn
In a space full of happiness and tranquility, a koi, whose body has amazingly beautiful colors. It had a pair of black eyes that swiveled, a small mouth that opened and closed, and four fins that swung from side to side. Its body is very flexible, plump, and strong, and its tail is long and large with a transitional color. It swings its body gracefully, leaving a happy splash, and the sparkling pool water becomes fresh as a result. Look how grateful and happy it is. The beautiful koi brings us life-changing spiritual energy. It helps us face our fears, worries, and insecurities.

Left and Your Other Left
I am a yoga instructor with ADHD. This occasionally results in a few "oopsie" moments in class when I forget which pose is supposed to come next in the flow, what number of rep we are on, or whether I should be cuing the left or right side. I got these tattoos the day before I moved out of Vancouver.

A Letter to My Dad
Dear Dad, It has been almost forty years since you stepped out of my life in the most cliché-ridden manner possible. Not just a bad heart that attacked you; not just on the day that you were to be released from hospital; not just when all the signs were good for you and your health. It was the day itself that stays with me.

Hypnosis and Self-Knowledge
Most people do not understand hypnosis. Many think they cannot be hypnotised, and many believe someone hypnotises them. What they know about hypnosis is mostly from watching hypnosis performed on stage or TV. So they have the wrong idea about hypnosis and what it does to the individual. Here I am going to try to dispel this misconception and help you understand the magic inside you.

Cognitive Bias — Part 1: What they are. What they do.
Cognitive bias is a term that refers to the ways in which the human mind is inclined to process information in ways that may lead to inaccurate or distorted outcomes (Haselton, Nettle & Andrews, 2005). These biases represent systematic patterns of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment and thus can lead to inaccurate perceptions, illogical conclusions, and even irrational behavior when individuals rely on their own constructed reality rather than the objective reality (Ariely, 2008; Baron, 2007). In other words, an individual’s thoughts and/or behaviors might be determined more by how they create reality, than by the unbiased input.

Why High & Low Functioning Labels are Harmful
From an outsider's perspective, functioning labels describe autistic individuals. Many advocates have been coming forward and proclaiming that functioning labels are harmful. These individuals who assert this are not just autistic.

Random Words
That's what I was thinking about; some hamburgers. Yeah, that's what I think about when I'm nervous and overwhelmed. Thinking about my storage unit which I had for tens of years of my memories. Of which I have to get it out at a certain time at a certain date or else they will...put them in the auction. H.P. says I need new things and to get rid of the old. They also imply that which is of the old has the bad energies from the past of which are not the best for me. It can even be dangerous for me if I introduce them back into my life, into my new situation, which is my new apartment.

Burning Pages:
Burning Pages: I have a recurring dream where burning pages fall from the sky. My writing, my life’s work. My love and hope. So many scorching pages flutter down and heat the air, I can’t breathe. I try to salvage what I can, but the ashes burn and blister my skin. The sky is dark, a city flickers in the distance. Its buildings glow, licked by tall flames, I hear it popping and snapping. A creek beside me reflects the red and orange, it sizzles when the embers land. I can’t see where I’m going but for a moment the smoke clears and I’m on a wide road, there’s no cars no shelter. The heat slows me. My feet feel heavy, and my head hangs low. I look up, I see her, the subject of my pages. The hurt on my skin Is nothing now. I call to her but she can’t hear me. The wind picks up and howls and whips fire into spirals that approach like small storms. She’s unburnt for now but scared. Her eyes glimmer with fear and hope, somehow. I step toward her, but she moves back, not intentionally, she glides. Every step I take the distance remains the same. I panic and begin to run. Pain shoots through my legs like they’ve snapped and shattered, I run still. Even at high speed I just can’t close the distance.
