“Isn’t that interesting!” Have you said this lately in response to something that in the past would have upset you? Well, then, you are finding peace. Where did you find the peace? In taking a neutral stance. In not giving meaning to an experience. In saying, “Isn’t that interesting,” the [...]
Have you made the correlation between how far you fall after how high you go? This is one of the rules of this reality you are experiencing. What goes up or down balances itself with an equal and opposite reaction. Pay attention when you are becoming over-tired, over excited, over-anything. [...]
At times you may feel you do not live up to your ideal version of yourself. It is all experience. How does each experience feel? If you are measuring one against another, this will cause you to feel as a failure or as a winner. What if you simply observe [...]
Are you aware how you project your perspective upon others? Until you awaken, the human remains in a fixed position, seeing the world only from one viewpoint. Imagine yourself in a sphere, a limitless theater-in-the-round, and all other humans have their fixed viewpoints. Projecting yours upon them, thinking they view [...]
It feels good to say yes to others. They respond with a smile at you. You fill their needs and thus feel needed. But what of your needs? When you continuously fill the needs of others and deny the self, you deplete the self. Energy flows in both directions. Be [...]
When you plan to be part of an important event, do you fret and worry, focusing on what could go wrong? It is well and good to be aware of those things that might interfere with success and do your best to prevent what you can. It is another thing [...]
Never is there a time when you are not watched over like a baby playing with others while the parents look on. You are not the first to go through this earthly experience. Those who have gone before you have learned the ropes. They know the challenges. From their higher [...]
You may feel surprised and delighted when what you understand as new abilities reveal themselves. Do not be. They are a natural unfolding of the evolution of Joy experiencing L.I.F.E. as and through you. That book you read … that video you watched … that meditation you did … those [...]
Do you look for unity or separation? What is the first thing you see when you gaze upon another? The body, of course. You are seeing with the eyes. Now what do you do next? Do you try to determine if they are friend or foe? Welcome to human nature, [...]
Be careful how you claim illnesses and diagnoses. These are visitors in your vehicle, imbalances that you may wish to use as opportunities to clear out that which caused the imbalance. The moment you give a name to this visitor and place it after the two very important words, “I [...]
Picture thoughts like a swirling maelstrom of clouds around a clear, still center. You are not the clouds. You are the Awareness at the center and that in which the clouds appear. When L.I.F.E. pulls you into a state of confusion or tumult, get your head out of the clouds. [...]
“You can’t see the forest through the trees” is a phrase that can be interpreted on several levels. And so, it is with life. You can see life and each other at the tree level, where each one stands as a separate entity and you can widen the lens of [...]
Is the world speeding up? No, if you mean this in the sense of time moving faster. The speed at which individuals process information, however, is increasing due to technology showing you the way. As you use technology to search and integrate information faster and that information comes into [...]
Clouds are a most beneficial way of viewing the patterns of sensations, thoughts, and feelings that can keep you stuck in “only human” mood. These are overlays that literally cloud out the light of Awareness. Yes, you are aware of the trauma and drama, but you can easily lose sight [...]
Be aware of your instant judgment of someone you meet for the first time. The nervous system will connect the way they feel or look to a memory. This memory will bring up sensations, thoughts, and feelings that have to do with the past and may have nothing to do [...]
Perhaps you have heard the statement, “Ask the right question, get the right answer.” And how does one know the right question to ask? By asking beyond the story you are caught up in. Become still, relax with the breath, move awareness to the heart and hara—the very core of [...]
Now you’ve got it! Perhaps not the first time you try something new. Perhaps not the second or even the third. You are a soul experiencing L.I.F.E.* through a human nervous system. Did you learn to walk the first time you stood? Of course not. And perhaps as you have [...]
It’s just a word, that word that makes you cringe when you hear it. And why do you cringe? For you have given it meaning beyond the letters knit together. Perhaps you have heard it said with accompanying energy that causes you to constrict. Perhaps it represents a way [...]
You see actors on a stage in a small-town theater. Perhaps they are very good. Perhaps they dream of being a star - being known around the world. And perhaps this will never happen. And yet, they cannot help but act. Not everyone is meant to achieve great fame, [...]
Regrets. Do you know of any human who does not have them? Of course you cannot know another’s thoughts, but the human experience is universal. You have all done or said things which you wish you could do over or say over. Now the question becomes, do you allow it [...]
Work with what you are given. You say you have a racing mind, then speed up to meet it. You say you cannot sit still to meditate, then walk in the woods as you contemplate your connection with all that is. You say you cannot find time in the morning [...]
