The goal of Openhearted Rebellion is to push into the mainstream the idea that love and kindness can change lives and the world as a whole. It also serves to introduce readers to basic forms of spirituality and accompanying philosophies, teachers, and practices. On that blog, I publish articles written from the heart with an […]
Being Openhearted: Am I the Crazy One?
To me, being openhearted is nothing sensational. It doesn’t require a radical transformation in the way you live, but in the long run, this small and subtle change can make a difference. Being openhearted means simply to treat others with respect and kindness no matter their race, gender, religion, or political views. It is a […]
Meditation: Wisdom in the Silence
We all need a little peace, stillness, and balance to get us through life. Sadly, this doesn’t jive with the social mold we’re supposed to fit into. We’re supposed to be good workers who value productivity above all else. This makes us incessantly tired, stressed, and anxious as we try to get through each day. […]
Art as a Spiritual Practice
Some people who make art consider it a spiritual practice. For them, it’s more than just a fun activity. It’s a way to express who they are while connecting with something profound deep within them. Being creative allows them to venture into their mind and soul, forming a vital connection that many people are sadly […]
Blending Self-Improvement with Zen
To me, spirituality is more than a fad or a way to appear wiser than I really am. I use it as inspiration to improve myself. Some teachers say that trying to change yourself at all is misguided and pointless. They believe that spirituality – Zen in particular – is about accepting who you are […]

5 Profound Quotes on Meditation and Enlightenment
The word “spirituality” means something different to each of us. Some interpret it as a path or lifestyle and believe that the destination is enlightenment. Some seekers look at the world as a school in which we develop compassion, learn to be human, and slowly become aware of things hidden from the human eye. I’m […]

Love Gives Life Meaning
My philosophy is simple. It requires no devotion or scripture reading. No offense to those who believe in these things; they just don’t work for me. I’m far from an atheist, but I see no need to let any spiritual authority tell me how to walk my path. My religion is built on love and […]
