Some refer to the airport as the worst place on Earth. Airports are often associated with bad food, dirty facilities, rushed travelers, and awful customer service from TSA.

But if you cut through all of that, you’ll find love and positive energy all around you. I recently returned from a trip to Europe and here is what I saw:

1. Tears of sadness as a mother and father said farewell to their son and daughter in law. This is love in its purest form.

2. Tears of joy at the arrival gate as two young twin girls ran up to their dad (a returning soldier) and hugged him simultaneously. Again, pure love.

3. Two backpackers sparking up a passionate conversation about their travels. A trip to Madagascar, a yoga retreat in Thailand, a story about a bizarre market in Bangladesh. The travelers were sharing their love for meeting people and experiencing new cultures. That’s the essence of learning and loving.

This is the type of energy that the lucid practitioner can feed off of. In these three instances, I could feel the love. It almost brought me to tears.

We don’t need to be in the Himalayan Mountains in meditation to see that God, love, and positive energy are all around us.

When we put the iPhone/iPad/etc. down and begin to observe, the lucid practitioner can see beyond the negativity.  We then realize that love is all there is.

In the comments section, please share with us an unexpected place where you have been able to find peace, positive energy, and love.

“Coffee and tea are great in moderation, but overuse of them when we’re tired can backfire. I know I often hit that three p.m. wall of tired and it would be easy to grab a cup of yerba mate. Relying on caffeine to pick you up sets you up for interrupted sleep and higher levels of stress hormones like cortisol. If you’ve heard of cortisol in passing, you may have heard that it’s a stress hormone.  It’s helpful when we are in a crisis and need to get things done in a hurry. It hurts when we are secreting it all the time; our bodies are in permanent panic mode—who wants to live like that!”

“Instead: Have a glass of water, eat an apple, grab a few mints, go for a walk, laugh, have some protein, nap.”

“Laughter drives shouting away.”

A bit late, but nice to document.

Last week there was a yoga event in Times Square, “The 11^th Solistice in Times Square.”

Event organizers drew over 15,000 yogis for the 5 yoga classes that took place in the middle of Broadway between 43rd and 48th streets. The heavily sponsored spectacle likely lured in about 10,000 more spectators throughout the day.

I spent the last few nights watching the miniseries The Bible. Throughout the ten episodes you will learn a lot and experience many different epics of The Holy Bible. It is a wonderful testament to the enduring power of the incredible text. I highly recommend watching it.

Check out the video below for the scene depicting David, the shepherd from Bethlehem, taking down Goliath, the giant Philistine warrior.
