There's much talk in spiritual circles about creating a new life in alignment with who you are. So, the focus tends to be on what you want to invite into your life.

If you're reading this you can probably already feel it. The old way of living and relating is becoming redundant, cancerous even.

I've just finished reading the biography of Milerepa, a Tibetan Yogi who lived 1000 years ago. It has been an extremely interesting read - especially to see the methods of attaining enlightenment back in times gone by when things were 'simpler' yet physically harder, along with the cultural Tibetan influences at the time. It has been an inspiring read, yet many things are not translatable to those living in modern times who also wish to attain similar states. Complete detachm

There comes a point on the path where you realise that the mind cannot solve all of the problems that life throws your way. In fact for some problems it becomes more a hindrance than a help. Why?
