The Veda teaches us that your spontaneous interests and desires are informative. They are clues as to how best to use your unique nature and life experiences to bring more unity and evolution to the collective, moment by moment. This ancient knowledge flies in the face of the ways in which many of us are conditioned to “be a good girl/boy”, to “do what we’re told”, to achieve and succeed in a formulaic way - to exist in a way that is geared towards (conditional) acceptance rather than authenticity.

The Sanskrit word ~ soma ~ means flow of consciousness. That which we put our attention ~ or soma ~ on will amplify or grow stronger in our awareness. The simple action of directing our awareness onto something will create more of it.
