Taking the risk to be vulnerable and open, intimately, can feel like you are in free-fall — experiencing in that moment both exhilaration and terror. To risk openness is to risk the possibility of disappearing before our very own eyes. Despite our intention to...

I support you in listening to your heart about whether or not a certain Choice or Action is your call or leading; others can (and often do) chime in to give their thoughts and opinions, but they have their own Light to follow. So if you find yourself in a place in...

For years I lived in the certainty that the proverbial “shoe would always drop”. I never doubted that this was so; it was simply a matter of time. I lived in a perpetual state of tension, sometimes extreme fear, at other times a low-grade anxiety, but absolutely...

A friend of mine once told me she believes that whenever we think of someone, they are thinking of us at the same time — like a prayer between Souls. I wonder if it is similar to the principle of superposition — where the quantum wavefunction of a single...

There is one thing that all of humanity has in common, one fact that transcends all cultures, races, religions, and socio-economic status: a Fear of the Unknown. And we collectively cope with this fear by creating a unified field of consciousness, something that we...

How would it be to make a pact with ourselves to be absolutely honest in the moment, to say what we are feeling, no matter how we judge it or fear we may be judged? This is our stretching place — to tell the truth, even if it does change from moment to moment,...

There is much ‘talk’ and admonition about learning to live from our heart and not from our head (to the dismay of many intellectual and scientific folks). But I can relate to the tyranny of the mind — reflecting back on the eons of struggle,...

Remember that “Ruach” means Breath of Life/Spirit — and that Ruach surrounds your very Being, the gentle caress of the air against your skin, the breath moving in and out of your nostrils as you sit in meditation. Fall into the pool of sorrow and...

My Life is HERE, in this ‘moment’. It’s not in the plans I make, nor in the things yet to come, and it certainly isn’t in the things that have happened to me. These have are already passed or may yet never be. Judging the moment, telling myself: “I don’t...

When I start to examine my Life I get into trouble. When I compare my insides to other people’s outsides, I get into trouble. I periodically find myself in moments of doubt, questioning the choices that I’ve made, questioning the paths that I’ve taken. Wondering if I...

If we lived life like a spider, we would see infinite possibilities — we wouldn’t see empty space, but infinite options to anchor our Life. Every day we can start a new design. We can retrace our steps or explore open space, drop a strand where once...
by Gizelle | Oct 22, 2017 | Change & Growth, Growth/Self-Love, This Moment -- Now
Each moment presents a choice, and results in a choice. Choices. Free will or pre-ordained? Right or Wrong? Good or Bad? Anxiety arises. Living becomes mental, and we become lost. Not understanding that the web weaves itself. That ‘Yes’ can become...

Cultivating Our Heart — is going into the deepest part of our being to find our Selves and God. Begin upon waking in the morning by focusing inward, into your very core — sense you There deep within. Anything that flows out beyond that feels unimportant,...

Invite Surrender and Cross the Divide. In the practice of vigilant prayer and meditation we exhaust ourselves, saturate ourselves, strive through our efforts to release, release, release. Space appears and then disappears, sitting in hope that eventually we cross the...
by Gizelle | Oct 1, 2017 | Spirit/Oneness, Surrender or Letting Go
Often times people think that Surrender is when we’ve given up, or allowed ourselves to move from a state of struggle to a state of peace. We are trained to ‘look for’ that kind of Surrender, something that is tangible, that moves us from ‘here to there’....
by Gizelle | Sep 24, 2017 | Centering Practice, Prayer & Meditation
Cultivating Surrender is not just about the desire to give up the fight, it’s not even the desire to give up our will; nor is it a mental process of praying, praying, praying and saying ‘Thy Will Be Done” and then having a new state of awareness come forth. The...

When I’m in the ‘moment’, when I give myself up to the experience, when I choose ‘this thing to do’ or ‘that place to be’ or ‘that experience to have’, it is all I want to do. And I find that I am incredibly content with myself. It’s beyond contentment really; it is...

On the days my glass is ‘half-full” I go away and I doubt God. And when I can’t doubt God, I doubt myself. And depending on my mood, I can stay in this zone for an hour, a day, a week and lose myself completely in this spiral. Examining: “How did I let...
