Let Go

“Begin today. Declare out loud to the universe that you are willing to let go of struggle and eager to learn through joy.” -Sarah Ban Breathnach This is the time of year when we look toward the new year.  Many of us make plans, resolve to change and set intentions.  These are all well-meaning and weContinue reading “Let Go”

The Great Delusion

At least for some of our time here on earth we live our lives under a great delusion.  Believing the myth of separation, we go about searching for God, acting as though the earth is ours to do with as we wish and hating our neighbor while the truth waits to be “discovered.”  Actually theContinue reading “The Great Delusion”

“Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee, O Lord”– Saint Augustine Recently I read something that caused me to reflect on the beginning of my spiritual awakening.

Many ofContinue reading “Life as Spiritual Practice”

Breaking Free

You might remember this quote from last week: “A person does not have to be behind bars to be a prisoner. People can be prisoners of their own concepts and ideas. They can be slaves to their own selves” – Maharaji So how do we break out of a prison of our own making? UnfortunatelyContinue reading “Breaking Free”

Be Still

We live in a world where it can be extremely difficult to be still.  Every minute of the day we are being bombarded with external stimuli and constant messages to do more and be more.      I am blessed with being extremely sensitive to sensory stimuli.  No, it doesn’t always feel like a blessing when I am going intoContinue reading “Be Still”
