The idea of deliberate f o c u s for this new month suggests not simply an ability to bring attention to something, rather a deliberate calling to have clarity – to be clear about what it is that you want – and to keep this focus clear and precise as you manifest it. What gives us [...]
There are important reasons for knowing how to generate love from within. When you learn the process for loving SELF, you no longer require or depend on others to love you. (It is wonderful that you feel loved by others, but you no longer live in search of someone to love you). You also learn that love originates from [...]
Sometimes I catch myself off balance. I may, for some reason be standing on one foot in a moment as I do something …and I feel my balance going. I may reach for something and notice a gentle wobble in my footing and realize that my balance in that moment is indeed missing. We can [...]
Perhaps one of the most undervalued privileges of the human experience is self-knowledge. Beyond describing what it is that we do for a living, our preference of music genre, or our favorite ice-cream flavor, how well do we really know our self? Much of our adolescence is spent contemplating who we would like to be (or [...]
A spiritual journey is one which begins with a genuine desire for knowing SELF. It commands inner reflection, contemplation and meditation (quiet/silent focus of the mind) that comes out of intentional conscious awareness: and the premise that you need to awaken to your life – to be an active directive player of your life …guiding, shaping, realizing [...]
At the beginning of each new month, I offer an idea: an intention to consider….to provide a focus or directive for that particular month. Below are a few thoughts to contemplate for March – a month that inspires and reminds us of what is ahead…of what our focus may be; hope of new and different, and the gentle embrace of change [...]
Just about now, you might be desperately wishing Spring would arrive…or hoping that there is more ‘good’ winter to enjoy the outdoor activities that you have embraced this season. Which of these is your focus ? While much of the excitement and anticipation of January’s resolve and intentions may be fading, this is precisely the right [...]
Entering into our second month of this new year, February’s inspiration is an emphasis on love, romance, and intimate relationships. But consider the notion of NEW love. Some ideas worth contemplating… Open your heart to a new infusion of divine love - with a (new or existing) partner; a different activity, hobby, or personal interest; or a new behavior or [...]
How would you assess your first week of a brand new year in your life? Have you experienced everything exactly as you have imagined…or have there been challenges? Any time you set an intention you can be sure that you will receive Universal Guidance, help, and the occasional challenge to test how well you are doing (and to give [...]
It’s a novel way of embracing the ‘new’ in your life – letting go of what no longer serves you… Being willing to surrender and release is a powerful way to consider how you will celebrate this new year and (if you choose it) how you will live the entire month of January. Surrender and release [...]
During December, as the people of the world celebrate their culture’s holidays, I am reminded of the beauty that we strive to create: candles lit on menorahs, wreaths to decorate our front doors, lights that create amazing brightness, ornaments and objects shimmering, sparkling, bright colors that are seen everywhere, and delicious foods that we indulge in and enjoy. What are you celebrating? [...]
If you remember back to a recent post this month… I talk about the idea of B A L A N C E. Here is an element of how to create true balance in your life…now and always: Do you wonder if it is when you reach out toward others that you somehow feel supported, [...]
I think about the fact that we are both perfect and at the same time, evolving…a work in progress. This notion is prevalent in Yoga practice: in the idea of Sankalpa which encourages us to be, enjoying our perfection and our beautiful nature as unique beings – while at the same time, considering what our true [...]
December is a beautiful month for many reasons. One of which is to embrace the notion of BALANCE. You see, while the focus for some may be on shopping, overindulging, lack of self-care….the real beauty of December is in the balance. This year, why not embrace the magic and beauty of this month…and of [...]
Reflections of November Nature always fascinates me. The incredible LIFE that is always present all around us: animals, plants, the sky, water – all of it moving, growing, evolving even if we don’t bother to pay attention. Nature is perfect in it’s ability to communicate with us. All we need to do is stop and [...]
