Drink from the Well
Life is filled with distractions - our to do list and
our not to do list. So many are drowning in a sea of inner voices - shoulds,
shouldn’ts, couldn’ts, can’ts, anger, resentment, worry, and regret. These
limiting feelings are the resistance which is pinching off the natural flow
of love, creativity, wisdom and joy.
An undercurrent of sacred experience is ready to rise to fullness across the
globe today. Some do this through yoga, others through prayer and
meditation, and others through spending time in nature. The common theme is
getting still if not in the body, at least in the mind.
Jalaludin Rumi said, "There is a voice that doesn’t use words. Listen."
Buried beneath our many layers of protection lies that voice. I refer to it
as the still small voice of God, the voice of my being. Spending time in the
silence, we gather the prodigal parts of ourselves. In this way, we
celebrate the good that is present while acknowledging work that is yet to
do.
This shift across the globe is urging us to a deeper experience of life
itself. What might we do as individuals to participate more fully in the
awakening of spirituality around the globe? The first step is that we
must make time for a practice of spiritual connection. Life is meant to
be lived with great awareness. When we are alert there is an inner opening
preparing the ground for a deeper life.
The next step is that we must carry our higher thoughts into inspired
action. Have you ever began meditating on patience only to be interrupted
moments later? Life has a way of presenting us with opportunities to put our
heartfelt intentions into practice. When faced with conflict we must ask
ourselves, "Do you want to be right, or do you want to wake up?" By making
time for a spiritual practice and then taking inspired action, we get to
experience our selves as the compassionate, loving and wise beings that we
are.
As we live more consciously, we allow ourselves to be guided by our hearts.
It is only then that we will be able to create a balanced, sustainable and
loving planet for all to enjoy. Through drinking deeply of life you will
discover the magnificence that lies at the core of your being. What unique
wisdom is yours to share? I support and encourage you as you rediscover this
precious voice within you and share it lovingly and generously in all areas
of your life.

Mental Diet – Food for the Soul
I just started a diet (Weight Watchers) last month. I know, I know, lots of
people begin diets, and then, many times, they go back to their old ways and
may end up gaining even more weight. Been there done that...

Celebration of Light
As we approach winter, the days grow shorter and colder. At
this time of year, few things offer more comfort than the warm glow
of a candle. Whether in homes, churches, temples, or mosques, we
light candles to observe holidays, to commemorate events, and to
usher in an awareness of a holy presence...
