In this live Q & A we discussed resting in our ever present radiance without the need to jump out of our center.  We often can become twisted and unhappy when we are lost in tasks beyond our skill levels.  What does "Being in the Now" really mean?  In the "Now" with an active mind?  Being completely open and flowing with all emotions.  What is the relation of connection to...

Beneath thoughts and emotions are our "positions or postures" in life.  These are our unconscious assumptions.  They guide the emotions and thoughts that occur from them.  One posture is that I will feel good when I accomplish my goal.  By holding that posture one has to squelch their innate joy of Being which always feels good in order to wait until that task is fulfilled.  This can inc...

Let go of thoughts, emotions and melt back into your Se...
