Do you see building blocks or stumbling blocks? You get to choose. We all have the ability to see every road block as an opportunity, but it all comes down to believing that we are exactly where we need to be in every moment.
Presence is the powerful stillness and silence that already exists before activity arises.
The pathway to this higher state of existence is through living each moment from that sacred space of love to be divinely guided to fulfill your heart’s desires…
Krishna replies in Chapter 2, Verse 48, “Yogastha kuru karmani—establish yourself in the present moment, and then perform action.”
Imagine if our compassion could transcend our relationships and the attachment we have to them – pure sympathy, pure empathy, and pure desire to help them heal.
Sometimes, even just the thought of an irritating situation or person can trigger a stress response; but in 16 seconds you can connect to the present moment.
When we hear the voice in our head telling us we are less than or not worthy, we need to know that the word TRUST can be re-configured into STRUT!
When these basic needs are not met, anxiety, sadness, detachment, pain, anger, depression, self-hatred and blame can begin to bubble up and manifest in our daily life.
Tears were streaming down my cheeks, a profound sense of well-being rippled through me, and Jinghan was gone. As I looked around, I wondered out loud, “Was he even really here?”
Like any birth, the process of REbirth can include some prickly discomfort as you hold the mirror up. It requires total self-honesty. But the end result is a magnificent liberation.
I believe in self invention. I have to believe in it . . . To be authentic is to literally be your own author . . . to discover your native energies and desires, and find your way of acting on them.
The Divine Principle of Awareness is the evolutionary starting point for transforming the world around you as you transform yourself! It’s the cornerstone for every step you take to move your life from where it is to where you’d like to be.
With each breath we will allow, accept, and receive soothing, healing, love into every aspect of your heart and body with this body scan guided practice.
When you have each of these elements flowing through you, you are balanced and connected to the divine.
Starting your day with a meditation ritual provides the perfect environment for your intentions to embed and for your day to unfold with greater grace and greater ease.
The Divine Principle of One has existed for eternity infusing virtually every philosophy, religion, family, community, and nation on earth with its most sacred value and core belief—we are all one.
Your awakened heart knows all, sees all, feels all, and is capable of healing all the pain and suffering that rests inside you.
Kleshas include states of mind such as anxiety, fear, anger, jealousy, desire, depression, etc.
Resist nothing, and you will receive unconditional love. Enjoy. – davidji
