Welcome to Hanging on by a Thread ©
I recently launched my YouTube series, “Hanging On By a Thread ©”, and several people have asked me why I decided to create it. The answer is layered—much like life itself.
Part of this journey is about deepening my own understanding of the Yoga Sutras while sharing their timeless wisdom with others. The Sutras have been a guiding thread throughout my life, and teaching them challenges me to study more deeply, reflect more honestly, and live more intentionally.
But if I’m being completely transparent, this project is also about something much more personal. It’s about overcoming the fear of putting myself out into the world. It’s about getting out of my own way.
It’s about silencing that little voice that says, “Your hair isn’t right,” “You don’t look good on camera,” “You should wait until you’re more prepared,” or “Who wants to hear what you have to say anyway?”
The truth is, those things don’t matter. What matters is showing up. What matters is sharing our gifts, our stories, our experiences, and our lessons—even when we don’t feel perfectly ready.
This channel is my way of practicing courage in real time. It’s preparation for bigger things I hope to create in the future: a book, larger speaking opportunities, workshops, retreats, and conversations that help people navigate life with a little more wisdom, compassion, and humor.
So here I am—imperfect, learning, growing, and sharing anyway.
If you’ve ever let fear, self-doubt, or perfectionism keep you from pursuing something meaningful, I hope you’ll join me on this journey.

What is discernment?
Discernment is the ability to grasp and comprehend what is obscure.
The Modern Mystik site shares many esoteric tools, philosophies, and practices than our ancestors have used for thousands of years to achieve health and wellness. As you delve into the esoteric, it is important to understand that all tools possess inherent power that transcends physical form; they resonate with the energy and intention of their user. When wielded with skill and wisdom, tools become conduits for creation and transformation, capable of building bridges between worlds and shaping reality itself. However, when mishandled or misused, their potential for harm amplifies. Just as a hammer can construct a sturdy house, it can also tear it down with equal force. Therefore, it is important to approach these tools with reverence, understanding that their true power lies not solely in their materiality, but in the intentions and actions of those who wield them.
Always exercise discernment when exploring the esoteric, ensuring alignment
with your highest good and the greater harmony of all.
