As the universe expands, so does our mind, our time on earth, and the complexity of the life we lead. We spill over beyond skin. We exist outside of it in the space that surrounds us, in the knowledge we have and the experiences we sense, and in the people we interact with. We’re all…

While there are many things you come across, it is enough to ponder upon the ones that you feel, at a given time, are relevant to you. Your life, your power to change it.
Design and science are equally important
Reality is systemic, inter-connected, and ever-changing, and it does not take place in a vacuum. Design methods produce solutions that reflect that. They are environment-sensitive, bio-responsive and non- destructive to both the human subject and the environment. Science, in an unnatural way, validates everything through experimental isolation. Equally valuable truths stem from both approaches; science…
The side effects of scientific thought and how they killed the mind before its time
When Einstein said in an interview in 1929: “I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know if I am.” (G.S. Viereck interview, October 26, 1929, reprinted in “Glimpses of the Great” (1930)) the world around him was on the verge of tipping. A thin, malleable line…

Hobbies, how to make room in your home for them and why should you, part 2
Despite their appeal and promise of amazing pass-time, not everyone has or develops hobbies.

Home vibe – what it really is and how to positively resonate with your home, part 2
Home-lovers and house-users are two kinds of homeowners that look at things very differently. The home-lovers cherish their homes dearly; the house-users have a non-emotional go-about their day, move tomorrow if a better gig appears type of sentiments. There is nothing wrong with either; however, if you’re in the house-user camp, something is to be…
Home vibe – what it really is and how to positively resonate with your home, part 1
Home vibe is not a myth. It is controllable, measurable and real. As obvious as this may be, the less obvious part is the strong dependence between vibe and meaning.

Sometimes interpreted as a much deeper life lesson, you can easily understand how this advice can lend a better you, a you that can help more by just…
The truth about how EMF in your home is connected to your health
Electromagnetic fields, known broadly as EMF, are regions of atmosphere where each point is affected by the Lorentz force. The force is magnetic and acts upon electrically charged particles accelerating them as a result. Both the electrical field and the magnetic force have a kinetic effect on the particles. Now does that not sound like…

Get your detox before the winter with a bit of design therapy. With so little of the summer left, it is high time you do two things: try and enjoy your backyard more if you did not and, plan for its improvement for next year. Renovations are still surging as many Torontonians have opted to…
