Twenty Minute Pause

There are four major steps and practices to help hone our ability to be living in Self-Observation allowing us ultimate FREEDOM.

What story do we tell ourselves so that we can escape the truth of the moment? 

Knowing others is wisdom; Knowing the self is enlightenment   (Lao Tsu. Tao Te Ching, Sutra 33) Know Thyself, weary Traveler. I am lost. I have forgotten who I am and why I came here.  To Know Thyself is one of the foundational spiritual teachings of humanity. Self Observation is the primary tool for knowing oneself. 

Choose each day to step out of your comfort zone, familiar pace, safe path to embrace an alternative way of seeing, experiencing and responding. 

It is time for us to step into our capacity as warriors-to protect, defend and transform ourselves and the world around us. 

Switch up your default mindset to LOVE & JOY! 

A recurring theme SILENCE. Silence is the portal through which our Spirit Journey emerges. Without an internal silence, we are challenged to deal with external noise, disruption and unpredictability. 

There are many expressions of Beauty. The Blessings of the embodied form is the intersection of as many of these expressions as our life offers. Drink in the Beauty. 

The most critical aspect of our spiritual maturity is learning to calm our Monkey MInd. 

When we are fully online, we integrate our heart and our head. 

What we incorporate into our life sets the tone for how we live our life. 

We are all impacted by what is transpiring around us. Often the unsettled nature of the world triggers fear in us. 

It is a common complaint...you finish a really inspiring yoga or meditation retreat and a week or two into your 'At Home' practice and you find it difficult to keep the daily commitment. What to do?

Because intuition is a portal to JOY, it is worth taking another look into the process of accessing and honing our intuitive nature.

Silence is the state which gives us most access to our intuitive nature and higher wisdom. It is valuable for us to incorporate silence into our lives and spiritual discipline.

Life is simply a series of transitions. How we adapt and ride this wave  is a contributor factor to how much JOY we can hold. Tension with transitions is a limitation. 

Sound impacts us whether it is coming in from the outside or generated inside of us. A powerful tool which should be used wisely. 

Life can be more easily digested if we feel connected to our eternal nature. 

The energy and health in a conscious decision to step out of a situation or relationship is wholly different from fleeing the same situation or relationship. Equipping ourselves to move consciously through transitions in our life changes our stability and vitality.  

Holiness is a state of being, established through connection with the Divine Source, attentiveness to Truth and Grace. How do we bring these qualities together? 

Our life circumstances are often out of our control. Our responses are within our control. Calling for our most pleasant self. This is a boon for ourselves and for others. 

Sound is a direct path to encountering the Divine. 

The sacred is everywhere. Everywhere includes the mundane so therefore the mundane is also sacred. There is no differentiation between sacred and mundane except in our minds eye.

Integrity through the lens of the Buddhist 8 Fold Path.

Do you have freedom in your life? How is this freedom intertwined with spiritual liberation?
