Go slowly

When I was on safari in Tanzania the one animal I was most impressed with was the majestic elephants. Even though they tower over humans with a size of over 4m and weigh 15,000 pounds, these mammals exude love and peace. They moved across the savannah ever so slowly and gracefully, there was no rush. The little […]

One of my role models is the amazing and brilliant Arianna Huffington founder of the Huffington Post. When I had the opportunity to meet her at Wisdom 2.0 last year (in 2013) I was beyond ecstatic and inspired. When someone from Huff Post reached out to me a few weeks later to ask if I’d […]

Mindful Monday: Wisdom from silence

Ritu Riyat, MPH — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 18:34:48 +0000

Whoosh… and just like that we are officially in spring. It’s crazy how everything is always changing ALL THE TIME. And when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. This concept of change is exactly what I spent 3 days pondering at my “refresher” Vipassana course out in beautiful North Fork, California. I put the […]

Stepping into spring… In silence

We’ve sprung forward with our clocks and pollen has officially taken over the air (source: my itchy eyes and scratchy throat). It can only mean one thing… Spring is here! Although seasonal shifts happen slowly over time, today’s equinox marks the first day of spring, and once again we will have equal amounts of daylight […]

What is wisdom?

What are you afraid of?

Ritu Riyat, MPH — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 08:53:27 +0000

I once heard that when you are faced with something that makes your palms sweat, and your nerves fire that’s when you are living life. Stepping out of your comfort zone is not easy, but once you do it you realize how much more is waiting on the other side of that zone.

Following suit of nature, animals will shed excess weight in the light and start afresh and so can we. As we move through tonight’s darkness and into tomorrows light it is an opportunity to shed, let go, forgive, and release all the burdens of this past year and step into the light… feeling a little lighter.
