As a child I would often escape to Nature, find a field to lie in, and stare up at the Clouds — watching the Cloud-People dance across the blue field, morphing, changing, bumping into one another, I would propel myself upward hoping to be enveloped into the...

I remember years ago attending an art class where my teacher instructed us to draw ‘negative space.’ Instead of focusing on the object or the scene, we were asked to focus on the space around and in between the objects, then draw those shapes. We were encouraged to...

There are moments in my Life when I desire beyond everything to be Standing in the Light. To be surrounded and enveloped by this column of golden/white light, that every place that I move, walk, sit, stand, have my Being that this column of Light travels with me. ...

It is a mistake to think that the purpose of being on a Spiritual Path is to “disappear the ego’. As long as one is in a human form, there is a purpose for having an ego, having a personality, a physical expression of our deeper Soul Light. So setting one’s heart...

Recently I had an experience with my newest kitty, Aurora, who has been in a very lovey mode – she can’t get enough of the cashmere sweater that I’ve been wearing on these cold days. She hops into my lap and buries her nose deep in the pit of my elbow or into my side...

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...

by Gizelle | Nov 12, 2017 | Centering Practice, This Moment -- Now
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...

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...

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...

But living life from the “Outside In” may also create a dilemma. Spiritually we may look at those same events and question: “why is God doing this to me”, “what am I meant to learn from this”, “what do I have the power to change”? We get lost in the whirlwind or...

Shedding scarves and jackets, pants and shirts are difficult. Our ego mind tenaciously holds on to its right to exist, the part of us that remembers things, replays conversations in our mind, causes we stand for, our need to be right – – unwilling to relinquish the...

Thoughts are like clothing. They often wrap around the essence of ‘who’ we are, confusing us with all the different ways in which they move. Pulling our attention from the center of our being out to all the other things we think we should be concerned with. The more...

Staying in the Center may at times feel we are disconnected from our sense of self, from the world, from our purpose in Life. We may even judge ourselves as being uncaring or unsupportive of others in our Life. Yet, we become part of something unknown and unplanned,...
