Be Shapeless

A master and a beginner share some of the same characteristics. Proof of this can be observed in the fields of painting, music, dance or martial arts. For example, a painter may start by painting specific shapes at the beginning of the learning process to painting something that doesn’t necessarily look like anything in particular.Continue reading “Be Shapeless”

Allow It All

Acceptance of circumstances in your outer world, especially those which you have no power to change, will promote a more fluid evolution within you. An outward flow that is initiated from the inner may also create opportunities which institute positive changes into your life. Even the allowance of the so-called bad things that happen canContinue reading “Allow It All”

Compassion With Out

The conditioning embedded in the human species is intimately connected to emotional pain. It is like a dysfunctional relationship which operates in relative harmony to keep you trapped in illusion, and this is what makes it so powerful. Like the boogie man, it seems to be lurking around every corner, which promotes fear in ourContinue reading “Compassion With Out”

Let It Flow

The amazing thing about spiritual practice is that we don’t need to be forced into moments of awareness anymore. Everyday we are given the opportunity to be in conscious partnership with the source.

The original sin is that you believe you are separate from it. There really is no need to struggle, but it is thatContinue reading “Separation Anxiety”

Be The Doing

Consistency in and of itself is a mantra. It is something said or done over and over to achieve some sort of proficiency. This can take the form of meditation, yoga, work, affirmations, or self talk that guides you to the place where wisdom is born. You can give anything you do or say aContinue reading “Be The Doing”

Unknown Known

Why should you be addicted to your own pain? Well, it has become a comfort zone for so many and an insecurity blanket, as I like to call it. Familiarity also has something to do with the attachment to this pain, which is why there’s such a large number of people that stay in badContinue reading “Unknown Known”

Story Of Karma

Our egoic behavior may be supported by friends and family members, so we need to bring awareness in when we tell them our story. One could ask themselves why they are telling it someone else. Hearing it aloud could help you see where the real problem lies. This could be an effective way of bringingContinue reading “Story Of Karma”
