Why Love Turns Into Hate

Three simple words. Eight letters. Spoken billions of times each day across the globe. “I love you” – perhaps the most powerful phrase in any language, yet so often misunderstood. After nearly two decades exploring the mysteries of the heart, I’ve witnessed something both fascinating and troubling: we all hunger for love with every fiber of our being, yet most of us have no idea what we’re truly asking for when we say, “I want to be loved.” So this week, I'd like to invite you to consider a...

Joseph Campbell once said that while most people seem to be searching for the meaning of life, deep down inside, what we are all truly longing for is the experience of being fully alive. I wholeheartedly agree. To me, this is precisely what The Path of the Heart is all about: A path with a heart. One that makes you come fully alive; that brings out both the best and worst in you. A path that allows you to discover powerful gifts and qualities you never even thought you had and unleash the...

A groundbreaking study just published in Communications Medicine has uncovered a shocking connection between solar storms and heart attacks that disproportionately affects women. If you’re a woman—especially over 60—what happens 93 million miles away on our sun could literally be breaking your heart. When the spectacular aurora borealis lit up skies as far south as Puerto Rico last year, most of us marveled at the beauty. Few realized those colorful lights signaled a potentially deadly risk...

In our increasingly wired but disconnected world, loneliness and isolation have become a quiet epidemic. Many of us silently struggle with feelings of abandonment, rejection, and invisibility behind the filtered lives we portray online. Thirsty for authentic connections with others, many of us are trapped by past hurts. This week, let’s uncover 8 signs indicating you might be slipping into loneliness and isolation. We’ll explore how to turn loneliness into a journey of self-discovery,...

THE PARADOX OF LOVE: The more you try to get others to love you, the more unloved you feel. Have you ever noticed how the people who seem most desperate for love often struggle the most to find it? This isn’t a coincidence—it’s a paradox that’s woven into the fabric of human connection. This paradox shows up everywhere. When you carefully craft a perfect image to appear lovable, you secretly feel more unworthy beneath the mask. When you exhaust yourself pleasing others hoping they’ll validate...

The most powerful prayer isn’t defined by your words, but by the level of consciousness from which you speak them. Have you ever noticed how sometimes your prayers feel empty, while other times they seem to resonate with profound connection? The difference isn’t in what you’re asking for—it’s in where you’re asking from. Throughout human history, shamanic traditions have recognized that our prayers emerge from distinct levels of consciousness. These seven levels of prayer, each representing a...

Have you ever found yourself completely drained after helping someone? Maybe you’ve spent hours counseling a friend through a crisis only to feel hollow afterward. Or perhaps you’ve noticed how your desire to ease others’ suffering sometimes leaves you unable to function in your own life. This isn’t just ordinary fatigue. What you’re experiencing might be what I’ve come to call “suicidal empathy” – a pattern where our natural compassion becomes self-destructive. This term has recently gained...

Hello Reader, In last week’s article, I challenged the common wisdom that we should “find our passion” before taking meaningful action. The response was overwhelming—many of you recognized how waiting for passion had kept you stuck for years. You embraced the truth that purpose-guided effort actually creates passion, not the other way around. Yet something curious happened. While many of you intellectually accepted this insight, you still found yourselves frozen in place. “I understand I need...

Hello Reader, “What’s your passion?” This seemingly innocent question has become modern society’s favorite way to induce existential panic. The moment it’s asked, many of us feel that sinking sensation—like we’ve failed some essential life test because we haven’t yet discovered that magical interest meant to guide our entire existence. I’ve wrestled with this anxiety throughout my life. For years, I interpreted “finding your passion” as a mandatory treasure hunt—as though somewhere inside me...

Hello Reader, Have you ever been completely captivated by someone, only to wonder months later what you ever saw in them? Or perhaps you’ve had the disorienting experience of a partner suddenly claiming you’re not the person they thought you were—even though you haven’t changed? Most of us have experienced the bewildering moment when the veil drops and we see a relationship clearly for the first time. This jarring awakening often leaves us questioning our judgment, wondering how we could have...
