Trying to understand, the Mystery of Death

A few years ago, while leading a funeral service for a very good friend of mine, I was asked to explain the mystery of death, the purpose of death. I think the answer to this question is a difficult one to fully know, even if you have walked in this profession for years and years.

I have looked to my mentors, my elders, to the teachings of those who have walked before me to try and decipher the answers to this question.

On this short video, we begin the quest, for some of the answers.

Living a Stress Free Life. Here's how.

Yes, it is possible to live a life free of negative stress, to be stress free, although most of us never slow down enough to look for the steps to take to make this our reality.

We've been conditioned to believe that rushing, fretting and complaining about all that is not working well, is the way to muddle through our existence.

A number of years ago, I had the chance to listen to a lecture given by the spiritual teacher, Ram Dass. And, he literally blew me away with the following thoughts, that I recorded for you. Watch.

Slow down, start to believe in the concept of a life free of the stress that drives most of our lives. Yes, it is possible.
