Discovering Joy

Discovering Joy

  Very recently I twisted my back by sleeping on my stomach, something I gave up doing years ago. Also all the months of dealing with the stress of family issues and mourning my parents passing have affected my body non-beneficially. I called upon a good friend who does healing work to help my body to remember its true alignment. The gentle work released a feeling I did not expect, and this experience prompted me to want to share what I have discovered. Joy Springs From a Very Deep … [Read more...]

There Are No Skipping Steps

There Are No Skipping Steps

In all areas of life and certainly on the path to Spirit, there are no short cuts, no skipping steps. As a matter of fact, on the road to Spirit, sometimes it is three steps forward and two steps back. We are constantly being challenged and tested along the way. Keep In View A Direction The attitude that I have adopted, when I remember, is not to be attached to the outcome. It is my observation that this state of mind keeps you humble. Sometimes we don't know what is best for us; sometimes we … [Read more...]

The Time Is Now

The Time Is Now

Remove the Locks It is time to remove the locks that we put on our eyes, the ears, the mouth and the heart. Allow the breath to just happen, there is nothing to do. We don't have to think about it. Allow the breath to go deeper. Remember the time when you put the locks on because everything was so intense. The eyes hurt from the seeing the truth, the ears hurt because they couldn't believe what they were hearing, and the mouth learned to be silent when it was being misunderstood. The heart … [Read more...]

A New Beginning—2013

A New Beginning---2013

Happy 2013. This is the new beginning we all have been waiting for, a clean slate so to speak in which to create that which we most desire in our world and the larger world around us. Be prepared the path is not one of roses strewn along the way; the path has boulders and pitfalls everywhere. But we are all capable of walking around or over them when we think and act in alignment with the Invisible Reality. We, left to our devices, can create fear, doubt, confusion, worry and chaos.  We … [Read more...]

Giving The Gift Of One’s Presence

Giving The Gift Of One's Presence

Many of us are preparing for the Christmas season. And I am reflecting on how I want to live in this season of light and gift giving. On this sojourn called life, I have come to understand and accept the fact that I am responsible for creating my own reality. So, the question that arises in me is how do I wish to spend this Festival of Lights. Do I want to spend my life force going shopping for useless gifts just to get a present as I have done in the past? Going Into Credit Card Debt I … [Read more...]

The Mind Is Not The Brain

Mind Versus Brain

Each time I am with mom I get to see, first hand, how the mind and the body are interconnected. The lesions on the left side of mom's brain are affecting her logical processes, her ability to speak and the use of her right arm and hand. She can no longer sew, has difficulty writing her name and her numbers. Mom has always been logical, very exacting she knows nothing about intuition. Over the years, I tried a number of times to introduce her to imagery with no success. Imaging and expressing … [Read more...]

Keep It Simple, Let It Go

Keep It Simple, Let It Go

Periodically, I hear people talking about creating a simpler lifestyle and downsizing. About a month ago, I was talking to a friend about all the stuff, beautiful stuff, she has accumulated over the years and the beautiful new car that sits in her garage that she doesn't drive. But she continues to make payments on and it got me to thinking about all the things we hold onto. Making Room for the New  I love cleaning and from time to time, I find myself cleaning out closets of clothes, shoes … [Read more...]

Power of Love or Love of Power

Power of Love or Love of Power

When the power of love overcomes, the love of power, the world will know peace------------Jimi Hendrix As I am writing South Korea is on alert and preparing to defend itself from North Korea's promise to reduce Seoul to ashes. We are like spoiled children, when we don't get our own way and someone insults us, we want to beat them up. Except we are not children and we are playing with technicalogically-advanced weapons that are deadly to everyone and everything on the planet. What gives anyone … [Read more...]

A Key For Your Heart

A Key For Your Heart

For so many of us who are givers, receiving is most difficult. It sounds like it would be a no brainer but on the other hand it is one of the most difficult things to do. The word receive comes from the Latin recipere meaning to take in, allow, recover. To allow means sitting back and letting things come to you. At a time when so many of us are running around, working, trying to keep things afloat, and trying to keep our families together, this is a foreign concept. Wanting More Joy Most of us … [Read more...]

Forgiveness Is Key

Forgiveness

An important key to healing is forgiveness. Forgiveness of others is the first step, holding unforgiveness in your heart maintains a negative tie with that person even if you are justified with your anger. Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting or putting the people who have hurt you back in your life. Releasing the Hurts When we are holding a negative feeling in our hearts about someone, it actually does nothing to him or to her. However it does make it harder for you because you will continue to … [Read more...]
