I’m here in the mountains with some good friends. Juicing, hiking, laughing, meditating — my version of a bachelor weekend.
One of our intentions is to film a complete version of the Perfect Posture training so it can be advertised and sold on my website. I’m grateful that they’re both photography nerds who care deeply about beauty — it shows in their work.
Actually, their interest and passion are spilling over — I’ve also been obsessing over nice cameras and learning to see the perfect shot lately. So much so that I’ve decided to save up for one.
I’m primarily going to use it to film vlog-style videos for my Instagram and YouTube when I’m cabined away writing my book in January/February.
With that, I have a couple requests for you:
Care to support my work and help me save up for the camera? Consider joining my 4-week yoga training in October, booking a private session, or subscribing to my $7/month Plus + membership.
Do you know a spiritual, talented social media manager? I’m hiring.
That’s all from me! I hope you enjoy this week’s {Body} • {Mind} • {Soul} Newsletter and have a beautiful Sunday, - Ethan ॐ

Cucumber juice 🥒
Cucumbers transform into the world's most powerful rejuvenation tonic when juiced.
Cucumber juice contains beneficial electrolytes — including magnesium, silicon, and potassium — that transport nutrients and hydration directly into your cells and tissues. This makes it far more effective than plain water for true rehydration, especially after illness, intense physical activity, or periods of dehydration.
Beyond hydration, cucumber juice acts as a natural detoxifier and anti-inflammatory agent. Its highly alkalizing properties help cleanse your entire system while soothing digestive issues like gastritis, heartburn, and ulcers. The juice also functions as one of nature's best diuretics, supporting kidney function and helping dissolve uric acid accumulations that can form kidney stones.
For those dealing with inflammatory conditions — whether autoimmune disorders, neurological issues, or skin problems — cucumber juice's anti-inflammatory compounds can provide significant relief. It's also remarkably effective for reducing fever in both children and adults, as it naturally cools the body's glands and organs.
The key to maximum benefit lies in consuming cucumber juice on its own, without fiber or other ingredients that might interfere with its therapeutic properties.
Practice Step-by-step instructions to turn theory into healing.
An easy way to understand your mind is to think of it like the sky.
Thoughts roll in like clouds, occasionally blotting out the sun’s healing rays. Anxiety whips through as fast as a tornado, annihilating whatever it touches. Depression arrives like a slow-moving storm front, bringing days of gray skies and steady drizzles. Euphoria blazes like a summer day — brilliant and intense, destined to fade by evening.
The weather doesn’t need your permission to change, and neither do the systems of your mind. A happy disposition can become irritable as quickly as a clear sky can turn stormy. You aren’t failing — it’s the natural cycle of things.
And yet, the sky remains unaffected by whatever it holds — storm clouds or clear blue. Similarly, the essence of your mind (aka the Universal Mind) remains untouched by whatever thoughts and emotions are currently moving through it.
Trying to control mental states is like arguing with the wind. Most of the time, the wisest thing for you to do is simply wait for the weather to change.An easy way to understand your mind is to think of it like the sky.

Meditate Bite-sized audios to help you become the master of your mind.
From where did you come from before you were born? To where will you go once you die?
You did not enter on one side of reality only to exit from another; you emerge and return from the same place.
In other words, life is not a beeline towards a particular destination; rather, it is a nice stroll through the park — enjoying the breeze and smelling the roses — before the voice of eternity tells you it’s time to come back home.
