Perhaps the simplest way to think of this is to imagine that you are peering through your eyes through the opening of a cave, and in that peering you see starlight, shooting stars, comets, or moving beings. It is as though you are observing reality, taking it all in,...

Activists take up a cause, perhaps become part of a group; some may create a mission and vision statement, or organize their efforts toward a worthy goal. These aren’t necessarily bad things, in fact many good works and positive changes come out of such activities! ...

There is an old adage: “The older I get, the less I know.” A hint that perhaps we are gaining humility (aka — not having all of the answers) or for some of us on the cusp of 60+, frequent “senior moments” that prove humorous, and sometimes embarrassing (such...

What if Love became something more than a Noun, something more than a Verb? Many people like to expand the power of Love by saying that Love is a verb, that it is more than an emotion, that it is more than a warm and fuzzy feeling, and that you have to put Love into...

Love is a puzzling word – we have so many associations in our culture with Love, and by virtue of those associations, many limitations that are placed on that word. If we lived in another country (say Italy, France, Spain, or Latin America) we would discover that...

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...
![My Life is Here/Now]()
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...

Where does that leave ‘me’? Standing on the threshold of emptiness I realized that everything I thought I knew about me, everything thought I had, every action I took, everything that was ‘me’, wasn’t me. “It’s not yours to do” wasn’t directed toward me, but...

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...

In the past I was plagued by a need to engage in mild combat with others about nothing and anything, which was often reflective of my inner state. I would get caught in the web of seeking power through defensiveness, rather than being empowered through slowing down,...

When you wrote about feeling so used and betrayed, I was reminded of a way I’ve moved through various thrashings I’ve experienced in the relationship world. My default used to be to examine the other person, especially tempting if their behavior is...

and the Universe will support you. Reminds me of the book entitled “Do What You Love, and the Money Will Follow” – although I’ve never read the book, the teaching has stuck. There have been many, many times when I ‘believed’ that lack of money blocked me from taking...

Our thoughts, words, and identities, are all as changeable as pieces of clothing. They start from nothing but an idea, much like sewing together a shirt or a dress; you begin by choosing the pattern, purchase the material, lay it out and cut the pieces apart,...
