Foundational Well-Being – Part 1 – What Are We All Looking For?
Can well-being remain when life’s circumstances change? Drawing from personal experience and Rupert Spira’s teachings, I explore whether peace begins with recognizing the awareness beneath our thoughts, fears, and changing personal story. Resilience can develop without having to create the foundation itself.
Foundational Well-Being: Part 2 – The Many Ways We Seek Satisfaction
Pleasure, joy, passion, fulfillment, and euphoria offer different kinds of satisfaction. I explore how desire, relief, and a sense of safety shape our pursuits—and whether well-being must depend on continually obtaining the experiences we want.
Foundational Well-Being: Part 3 – The Mind We Inherit and Develop
Nature, nurture, and familiar stories shape what we believe we need before we can feel okay. I explore useful automatic processing, protective reactions, and the narrator—and ask whether our learned conditions are the only possible foundation for well-being.
Foundational Well-Being: Part 4 — What If the Foundation Is Already Here?
What if well-being is something we remember rather than earn? Through my personal metaphor of moving from 100 to 0 and back, I explore forgetting our wholeness—and rediscovering an underlying okayness while continuing to learn, love, and participate in life.
Foundational Well-Being – Part 5 — Something to Recognize or Create?
While listening to Rupert Spira, I experienced a remarkable moment of noticing consciousness itself—and an unexpected sense of peace. Was I recognizing well-being that had always been present, or had a new understanding changed my experience? I explore whether foundational well-being is something we discover, develop, or both.
