'Ella' is a story based on a simple yet profound experience in Sri Lanka. When hiking up the mountain (called Ella) at the top, a friend and I stopped to drink water in a little wooden hut. 2 wild dogs entered and as we fed them, the male dog stayed back and let the female dog eat first. I started to imagine what could have formed their relationship... ...So 'Ella' is a little story about listening to your heart, following your dreams, being brave, and trusting your intuition. The way that we are guided is full of signs, symbols, and synchronicities, we may realize on our journey that the reason we were pulled there was not what it seemed. Relax, trust and stay filled with courage on your adventure, enjoy the journey.

Sleep is rhythmic. It does not dance to the same beat as the rhythm that our modern lives often set. In fact, spending time in nature helps us tune into the beat of the world and synchronize our pulse with the cosmic heartbeat. And sleep itself also leads to synchronization with the world. If we have not learned to recognize sleep for the lush nature that it is. There is a tendency to reduce it and distance ourselves from it and over-medicalize it to the point where our sense of its personal efficacy is eroded, and we can easily miss its spiritual side and deeper wisdom. There is a spiritual dimension to sleep that we can explore, which holds new perspectives for us.

Sleep syncs us with nature's rhythm & has a spiritual dimension. Disconnect from over-medicalization to discover its deeper wisdom & personal efficacy.
