Why It’s Sometimes Necessary To Do A Deep Dive
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”― C.G. Jung Right below the surface of our lives are the dreams, hopes and fears that direct our language and behavior in ways we rarely question. Someone asks us how we...What To Do With Inner Conflict
“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.” Echart Tolle Conflict comes from the Latin, confligere, which means “to strike together.” Inner conflict is when two opposing feelings,...WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FEEL LOST AND OVERWHELMED
We have all been there before, when we just don’t know where to turn. We look back on our lives, and remember the dreams we had of a successful career, a happy marriage, a healthy body, and they look nothing like the life we are living. The voice in our head says, “Where did I go wrong? What could I have done differently? What next?”
THE MOST IMPORTANT SHIFT
You don’t hear the term, “the shift,” as in a shift of consciousness or paradigm shift, very often anymore. It seems many people now agree that there has been a shift, and that we are fully in it, and that we are in a new world now. Many say they have already had their shift in consciousness, often brought on by some ordeal, as a physical illness or divorce or financial crisis, or all of the above. The shift may have been from focusing on success and money to prioritizing family and love, or from pushing one’s body too far to radical self-care.
Stop, Drop, & Smile
I love koan-like statements like this one by the mystic poet and saint Kabir, because they help me to keep questioning the outrageous ideas that my analytical mind comes up with to “solve” the questions of my heart and soul. Like the woman in this hilarious video called “It’s Not About The Nail”, my mind is sometimes like a guy trying to solve a problem that cannot be solved.
Remain An Open Channel
We are taught to believe in ourselves if we want to “make something of ourselves,” and yet, here we have the magnificent Martha Graham suggesting that “you don’t even have to believe in yourself or your work….”, in order to allow this vitality to be translated through us into action.
YOU ARE YOUR ANCESTOR’S WILDEST DREAMS
The desire for a happy family is a primal longing, which you are either in touch with, or have forsaken, because for some, it is too painful to want what they never had.
Courage Needed!!!
“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.” Winston Churchill Right now, we see leaders on both sides lacking courage, not listening deeply to the hearts of the people they lead. In it’s place is the...Give It All You Have
“If you put your heart into everything you do, you will recreate yourself.” Lailah Gifty Akita I believe we came to earth to give it all we have—-to bring the fullness of who we are to our lives, whatever that means for each of us. Children do that, full out,...
