Soul to Soul

"The soul is immortal and imperishable, and our souls will really exist in the next world."

Socrates

Wandering into the coffee shop, the older man was noticeable at the corner table. He seemed happy and engaging and I could not help wondering who he was. Mug in hand, and scone in the other, he seemed to sense my curiosity and welcomed me to join him at his table. This pleased me as it made me feel like I was an invited guest. 

The hours would pass and there were no waisted moments of trivial questions. This total stranger seemed to know the deep roots into my being ... not my body nor current position ... but my spiritual essence. The light beamed from him and his energy was that of pure delight. He described himself as being "worldly with deeply embedded dreams".

It was obvious to both of us that our lives had aligned in a different time and place. Names dates and countries were of no importance. It was confirmation of the brilliance of the soul being immortal and imperishable. Our eyes focused on each other and there were knowings that replaced all need for documentation. We were simply soul to soul.

Black Backdrop for Glimmers

 

"When I closed my eyes withdrawing myself from darkness 

I saw light glowing everywhere."

Suman Pokhrel

Glancing everywhere, there was only darkness. Looking into the eyes of men or women, there was not one light to be seen. The feeling of loneliness grew heavier, and any prospect of exit dimmed. Needing to block out this reality, the eyes gently closed and new awareness drew attention within.

Adjusting to the brilliance of inner light, the body sighed in relief. It knew there was safety ahead where goodness resides. Between the sound of the body's deep breath and the beating of the heart, the mind was lulled into inner peace. This warm glow was exactly where one needed to be to reconnect with the glowing light.

Deep within, our soul radiates and beckons us to sink into the projected glowing light. It is where the spirit can remember all that is divine. It can rekindle desire to proceed in human form. Darkness is not an enemy, but a friend. It is a black backdrop for reflecting small glimmers of hope just waiting to be seen.  

Spiritual Movement Within

"Invest in what makes you feel alive."

Kristin Michelle Elizabeth 

Just glance at the smoldering colors nature provides. Change is at play which is a perfect time to update our own preferences whether in how we entertain our mind or how we genuinely want to be active. Walk in the silence of nature to capture the heart's desire to be expressed in today's world.

If we are indeed souls enjoying the human experience, to remain dormant is detrimental to our progress. To think of ourselves as being present on earth with a particular purpose, one needs to have a sense of what it is in order to proceed. Whether we are here to generate loving kindness or develop scientific research, movement is needed.

Dig inside the heart and allow love to flow out into the world in a very new way. Wherever we are led, if it is the correct path, we will feel alive again. As purpose becomes clear, we are vitally engaged with alignment. Our purpose lies within us, waiting to be fed which in return stimulates and enhances life experience.

 

Mystery of Soul Purpose

 

"But why should life after death prove the truth of religion 

any more than life before death does?"

Colin Wilson

Subject topics such as Near-Death Experiences and Life After Life draw attention for pondering what may or may not be true. The common denominator tends to be time spent between earthly existences with spirits in other realms. Time itself seems unimportant while importance of the purpose of soul thrives.

Soul purpose navigates what roles we seemingly play in today's world. Within these existences, there are opportunities to access information from guides who seemingly exist in other realms. These spiritual helpers tend to have vast information from not only this earthly visit, but that of other lifetimes.

Apparently, there are advanced souls, intermediate and beginners. Each have a life purpose and actually join other souls to form a group purpose. Each of these souls may not be recognized, but definite bonds can be sensed. Can it be that we have all known each other in previous realms and returned together? 

Conversation Clues

"Everybody talks, but there is no conversation."

Dejan Stojanovic

Communication involves more than heightened listening skills and perfection with articulation. Positioning of the body, and the body language itself reflects deeper understanding and additional information. A person's eye contact, the way they hold their arms, or a rigid stance offers unspoken details.

Maintain eye contact, do not be scoping out the room or glancing at a phone. Stand at a normal space so a person does not feel threatened by being too close nor not too far which gives the sense of disinterest. Clutching our hands or crossing our arms shows resistance. Pay attention, do not let the mind wander to a forthcoming response.

When we are engaged in a passionate subject, it is hard to not blurt out additional information laced with our enthusiasm. It is respectful to take turns in exchanging. If the speaker does not offer lapses for input, one might examine the basis for the one-sided conversation. Notice if anything resonates within. 

Near Death Experiences

 

"I have a deeply hidden and inarticulate desire for something beyond the daily life."

Virginia Woolf

Nearly 40 years ago, I learned of a friend's mother who had a near death experience two years previously.  She had not told anyone as she feared her doctor's reaction and believed others would think she was suffering from a mental health irregularity. Although pronounced dead in her hospital bed, several minutes later she began breathing again.

This woman could accurately describe who had been standing by her bed, what they wore and what they had said. The doctor was astonished and had no explanation for what had happened. She made the decision to not give voice to the other realm she had visited while out of her body.

Today, near death experiences are much more prevalent with only one third of people reporting them. These reports are investigated and documented. Temporarily out of the body, a person visits scenarios where they are able to view his or her current life with reflections of the future. They are embraced by guides, spirits, or the Divine before their return.

New Moon Determination

"Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly."

William Shakespeare 

The new moon once again glides across the sky. It is a symbol of new beginnings. We have just passed through the full moon which is a time for addressing what had accumulated. It is often a chaotic time. The new moon welcomes us to begin again with fresh approach and newly formed optimism.  

Insanity, they say, is placing a new layer upon the old rotten form while expecting nothing but a thriving end result. We may feel heavy laden wondering how we will once again face a task using the same skills. And that is the key ... this is an opportunity to move forward with new ideas and positive application.

As we reach what seemingly appears to be a dead end, may really be the pause just prior to uncovering the best way possible. The moon changes through cycles and so must we. If something is not unfolding as we desire, then for heaven's sake, it is definitely time to use new vision, fresh approach and wholehearted determination!  

Available for Revisions

 

"Trust your inner knowing, the quiet nudge, that gut feeling that guides you."

Pamela Hoopes

When revelations occur, there may not be a trusted friend by your side to share in your newly attained wisdom. It may be weeks prior to the next therapy appointment while new insights weigh you down. There are situations where your inner thoughts need to be released in a timely way or run the risk of forgetting what has been learned.

You do not have to be skilled in writing to keep a journal. It is a place that accommodates scribbles, phrases, and irregular punctuation. Full sentences are not required. Creating an entire thought may not happen. Jotting down random comments, one immediately following the other, can lead you to deep discoveries.

When you ask for information, answers quietly arrive floating in our imagination. What better way to link random insights than writing them down. When revisited, you will find a common thread being woven throughout several spontaneous scribbles. A journal can be an extension of yourself, kept private and available for revisions.  

Nestle Beyond

 

"A sunset is not an ending ... it's a transformation."

Wildlife Navigator 

There was such symbolism in the setting sun. The darkness of that which lingered beneath the glowing ball of fire was from the unsettled day. The sun was gracefully lowering itself as though it were going to nestle itself far beyond any darkness. The heaviness of the dark sky was encroaching upon the beautiful descent, but still the sun lowered at its own pace.

As the sun slowly sinks with the evening darkness expanding, one can appreciate the contrast of moving from one space to one other.  To focus on the beauty and grace of the seemingly falling sun, one can feel hope and encouragement entering our hearts. The key perhaps is noticing the lack of pressure or urgency.

As we observe the sun sinking into a horizon, we experience a confidence that it will return tomorrow, ready to shine on yet one more day. It will transform our darkness into light if we simply take time to notice what is being portrayed. Let us imitate such style and grace bringing light to ourselves and others between layers of darkness.

Darkness as a Gift

 

"Someone I once loved gave me a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift."

Mary Oliver 

Unexpectedly, there was a tunnel of darkness. Although familiar with the well-traveled road, one was plunged into a sea of darkness, so black that one could no longer see the actual intersections. Only the memory of the highly traveled route allowed procession safely forward. 

This physical outage of light triggered inner insecurities about my ability to move forward as one little light. I have historically roamed darkness before believing that this inner glow would see me through the darkest of night. The lesson of course is to learn to expand one's own light, to depend not upon others.

This returning lesson of darkness survival becomes easier to navigate. Gratefully, I remember enlightening movement to assist me on my way. The brighter the light, the more I can see and face what lingers still waiting for release.  Darkness becomes a healing space once we learn to eliminate our fears.

Surrounded

 

"The secret, Alice, is to surround yourself with people who make your heart smile."

Lewis Carroll

Worn down by the constant negativity of what is labeled news (regurgitating fear in hopes of control) I knew I needed to find safety in the presence of those I trust and respect. These would be the ones whose truth resonates and helps me to remain centered rather than longing to take flight.

I cannot always align my schedule with loved ones for a dose of peace, but I can turn to the authors who have warmed my heart and opened my mind. My non-fiction authors probably would cringe if they knew how heavily I have underlined their resonating messages. Heading to the shelf, I purposely hunt for my favorite friends.

To mention just a few: Joan Borysenko, Gregg Braden, Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle, Dr Brian Weiss, Raymond Moody, Elizabeth Kubller Ross, Mark Nepo, Shakti Gawain, Gary Zukav. I have spent years with these writers feeling as though they were intimate friends. They have touched my life with inspiration allowing my heart to smile.

  

Energy of Oneness

 

"Are you a physical being having a spiritual experience,

 or are you a being of spirit having physical experience?"

Greg Braden

Another beautiful fall day! I grabbed my sweatshirt and headed for the woods. My feet were happy to hit the ground as though they knew exactly where I was going. My eyes soaked up the glory of this earth and my mind slowed to respect the atmosphere of this sanctuary.  My heart swelled feeling the energy wrap around me in the woods.

In this space, I felt 'other worldly' consumed with a sense of partnership with all there is. My inner self flared in recognition of the spiritual presence gently wrapping around me. My physical body became less important as the expansion of the Divine dwelling within me guided myself forward into spacious realms.

Inner intuition was nurtured and the clutter in my mind fell softly away. Wisdom spread through me with the gentle breeze. Oh, how I love the woods ...  this connection of all there is. This heightened sense of knowing will escort me back into the physicality of my current life, with a stronger sense of being all I ever imagined myself to be. 

 

Under the Stars

"When the world feels heavy, go outside. Everything seems

smaller when you're standing under the stars."

Happy Gardens 

Cooler weather approaches and we throw open our windows and bundle up in our favorite evening chair. Treasured quilts reappear and we welcome socks upon our feet. While all of this is fine and good, we must never become so cloistered that we do not maintain our connection with our surrounding world.

Whether we walk for miles or stick our nose out the door once per day, it is imperative that we breathe in the outer world. To feel the air silently move across our face and hear the birds singing their song, awakens sleeping parts of the self. When in the darkness of night we stand before the massive sky, our eyes turn above.

The inner connection with the Divine strengthens our life experience, just as the outer awareness of the spirit in nature nurtures our soul. The blanket of dark sky spreads above us, dotted with sparkling stars. Each one glimmers reflecting encouragement, tenderness, and a gentle reminder that we are all one.

 

Cocoon

"We're doing better than most people realize."

Zachary Fisher

During the swirling of chaotic behavior touching all levels of our lives, it may be helpful to retreat into a cocoon. Looking within ourselves, we gather insight into who we are today as compared to yesterday. If feeling turbulence, we may need to fortify what we believe and determine how we are going to implement this into daily living.

Disruption forces us to withdraw and reassess. In solitude we can hear our inner self and wade through accumulations of information that no longer assists. What we have been avoiding is now faced and resolved. With newly established clarity, we remember who we are and how we want to exist.

It is important to gather with others who truly see us and have a deep understanding of themselves. We are forming a sense of unity when we can join together in spite of our differences. When we can live peacefully together, learning from each other's differences, we become a united front. 

Liberating the Soul

 

"Liberated is the soul which sees all human behavior as either 

an act of love or a call for love."

Luna's World

Staring at the tree, I found myself wondering if the tree was being lovingly hugged or tragically squeezed. I wanted to believe that these appendages were climbing up this tree as a means of support. Is that not what outside support is meant to do ... make us stronger not tear us down? 

Perceiving the positive interpretation, I felt good inside and even imagined how this tree may have experienced these hugs. I realized this natural perception of kindness impacted my body, mind, and spirit. I felt happier and deeply connected to all things on this wandering path in the woods.

Rather than picking flowers along the way, I stopped to tell them how lovely they were and thanked them for being there for me to enjoy. The trickling of the little stream cleansed me of dark thoughts loitering in my head. To the little creatures rustling in the ground cover, I extended a greeting. A walk in the woods liberates the soul!

And Then There Was October ...

                                                

'I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers."

L. M. Montgomery 

October arrives with visions of apples, pumpkins and various festivals! New routines present and a sense of general happiness fills the air. Whether it is hay rack rides or wandering through labyrinths, the outdoors calls us to come out and play. We grab our sweatshirt and we're on our way!

Rather than hiding inside from the blistering heat, we are outward bound feeling better connected to the world surrounding us. We tend to do more, but at a slower pace. We notice farmers in the field, scarecrows and pumpkins in the neighbor's yard, and develop a strong desire to make hot apple cider in the crock pot!

It is easy to fall in love with the fall season. Vibrant colors of all shades whether personally adorned or splashed across leaves tend to glisten and glow! We open our windows and doors allowing us to hear the beauty of the outside world. What is not to like ... caramel apples, pumpkin bread, and marshmallows roasted in the open fire!

Defining the Self

"The most exhausting thing in life is trying to be lovable to everyone."

Whispers

It is the last remaining day of September, and I gaze at the trees wondering if they somehow keep track of how much time is left before winter settles in. Do they notice the changing of color in their leaves and are they proud of the fancy fall attire? Maybe the leaves think it is great fun to float casually down to the earth. Ah, the essence of change.

This makes me think about how much effort we put in to being one well defined person for all peoples to see. Just thinking about this feels way too tight! We are diverse people, with numerous interests, perspectives, and experiences. I do not believe I could ever be just one thing again. It is exhausting to contain just one version of the self.

Who I am in this moment is who you will see. My attention span may shift, and then that is who I will reflect. Apologies for not wanting to please, but I am far more interested in the uniqueness of both you and me. Please develop a deep appreciation for all aspects of your lovely self and proudly display all that you can be! 

 

 

Stripping Down ...

"If you want your life to have true value, bring a gift to the world."

Michael Kewley 

There seems to be a re-evaluation of life going on for most everyone. Perhaps what we once viewed as our future has arrived and we want to crispen it up a bit or totally ditch it and begin all over again. Before we proceed, we need to get in touch with what is really in our heart and how we want to enhance it.

We generally take our personal skill for granted, thinking 'if I can do it, anyone can', but that is not the case.  When we determine what is really significant to our present life, nurturing is required. Growth can be uncomfortable, but so can stagnation. Continue to strip down to the personal core and begin to redefine who you are or whom you most want to be.

Be flexible, bending with resistance and embracing the unknown. Pay attention to the nuances of the heart as we begin to see new beauty in both our inner world and outer. This may lead us to changing sceneries or intuitively being led towards new horizons. Remember that fear is only a means of control and this is the time to release and be free! 

 

Light Facilitates

 

"The wound is the place where the light can enter."

Rumi

We have experienced situations that are wounding, and we may feel like there is an open hole of darkness within us. Internal suffering alters our perceptions and decisions. It is however, through struggle and defeat that we learn to increase our strengths and gain new understanding. With a willingness to change, segments of ourselves begin to generate light.

In time, we learn that light leads us out of darkness. The drawback is when we hold tightly to a certain outcome that was never intended to materialize. Traveling slowly, we begin to notice small sparks of enlightenment that allow us to see with new eyes. Moving beyond our pain, out of woundedness, a new path of life unfolds.

When we can see our challenges as lessons, we can welcome light in all forms to help us learn, knowing we are being led to new means of support. With open minds and hearts, our persona changes into a willingness to trust in the greater good. Rather than locked into a frantic panic, we are free to take flight with a new sense of self. 

Change Triggers Creativity

"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."

Henry David Thoreau

Transformation seems to be prevalent these days. On the one hand, we may find ourselves facing turbulence with determination to move forward or shrinking with the hopes of being unheard and unseen. Our evaluation of this time impacts our behaviors. Eventually, the need for truth and clarity triggers transition.

There is a need to grow into our full strength emotionally and spiritually. As we increase in our years, we change perceptions and expectations. There is a true need to become aware of how much we have changed and whether or not it has been for the better or worse. As we recall disappointment, application of forgiveness and reassessment are healing.

As our mind wanders down memory lane, use intuition to learn from beyond the scene. Take time to appreciate the benefits that eventually materialized after the fact. Rather than using energy for regret or remorse, see beyond our narrow scope. Use imagination to dream again to reinvent the life we are worthy of living. 

 

Full Moon Appearance

"The bright full moon, a celestial pearl, ascended in the night sky,

its light bathing the world below in an ethereal glow."

Alexis Marie LaRue

Some calendars mark religious holidays and seasonal festivities, but special is the one that reflects lunar cycles. Before the full moon arrives, one may feel the stirring of energy. It seems in the days prior; life can become unsettled. It is as though the bright light of the moon shines clearly upon things left unresolved. 

The full moon can designate closure of either work or play. Each of us have associations based on our experiences. With the beginning of each cycle, we may feel like we are moving forward with a clean slate, ready to create in forward movement. At the end of the cycle when the moon is full, assessment of progress can be explored.

The vibration of the full moon can be very strong. We may feel pulled into this 'celestial pearl' as though it were magic. As we open ourselves to the power of this moon, we may feel a very deep connection. Perhaps words will never explain what we feel, but its monthly appearance can bring warmth to our very old souls.

Path to Destinations

"There are different paths to your destination.

Choose your own path."

Lailah Gifty Akita 

It may be too early to declare it is too soon or too late. Even though others may be trying to direct us in a different direction, it may not be the right one. How can others know what is best for us when we do not even know ourselves? Listen closely to the advice of others but follow the path through darkness and out into the light.

Arrival can be disappointing, not at all what we had imagined. It may be exactly what is written on paper, but matches nothing imagined in our dreams. Even when the path leads to a seemingly dead-end, it does not mean our life's adventure is over. It simply means we can begin again with a new approach.

We may not know where we are going but consider that Divine Spirit is deliberately guiding us. The path may not be headed where we originally thought, but there surely is a reason for this unexpected folding. Be open to the lesson and slowly place your feet believing the journey is far from over.   

Into the Forest I Go!

 

"And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul."

John Muir 

I paused at the open door, careful to not complain about it being too hot or too cold. I greeted the morning just as I would want to be greeted ... with loving kindness. I viewed the mismatched trees never hearing the one complaining to the other about how much prettier the other one was or how too tall it had grown.

Stepping upon my favorite path, I felt sweet air fill my chest. I felt alive and one with all of the critters jostling around. I never asked who they were or where they belonged. I invited their presence to be with me. I could hear the beat of my heart in spite of it having been broken. I smiled, however, knowing I would always winter the storms.

While closing my eyes, light flooded in. Yes, this was my sacred space where Divinity was welcomed in. It was here that I best knew myself, free and floating without censure or disgrace. Love flowed through my mind, as I watched the little birds take flight singing their songs and lifting my soul.

Unfold ...

"Creativity is the brain's invisible muscle - that when used and exercised

routinely - becomes better and stronger."

Ashley Ormon

Curious how you're locked in routine serves your creativity. There are allotments for chores, work, and commitments to gatherings, but is there a steady opening where you freely expand and express?  Can you imagine yourself bulldozing your way through established, but well meaning, constraints?

Creativity can be extremely unique and difficult for some while easier for others. Wherever your personal strength happens to land, you have the tendency to minimize it but glorify someone else's. Unfortunately, the opinion of others may cause you to be fearful of how you express the inner artistic pull and therefore, you restrain.

You were given a thread of creativity to use as you will, but it remains coiled somewhere inside of you. What if you took it out, straightening it in the process, while imagining a beautiful tapestry uniquely your own. What if you allowed your lovely self to play with the colors Divine Spirit has so gently folded within you? Let yourself unfold ...

 

Autumn Equinox

 

"We are now entering the Autumnal Equinox time, when day and night are equal."

USA Today

There is so much we learn from nature. Such as the joy in the simple songs of birds, the babbling of brooks or crashing waves. We observe the sun slowly sink as the darkness glows with stars and the moon. There is rain for cleansing, and winter snow for solitude. There is hope as we watch the repeated cycle of new growth followed by decline.

Today is the Autumn Equinox offering a balance between day and night. There is speculation that nature is simply recalibrating its sequences. Associating daytime with activity and purpose and nighttime with stillness and speculation, we would do well by finding equal balance in our own lives.

Even as we view the four seasons, we find nature suggesting progression and regression. In spring there are new seeds awash with gentle rain, while summer pulses with the sun. Fall unfolds at a shedding pace while winter offers an ending with solitude and grace.

Nearing Arrival!

 

"The secret is not following the right path, it's following the right path

to the end. Don't quit, my friend, until you've arrived."

Toni Sorenson

Too soon we give up, and rarely for the right reasons. We incorrectly decide other people need our energy more than we do. Mistakenly, we believe someone else needs our presence more than time we spend on our endeavors. The good news is that it is never too late to start over!

Embrace the idea that we are not finished quite yet. No matter our age or restrictions, there is a way to modify our expectations into plausible scenarios. Life continues to unfold with surprises and unexpected support. Just because we momentarily cannot envision how we will proceed, does not mean we are at the end of adventures.

The first step is to regulate our fears. Set them aside and cling to the truth that we are not yet finished. Drift through possibilities and move pieces around until ideas begin to take shape. Do not expose new ideas to others too soon as there are numerous nay sayers! Expand ideas colorfully within until they are ready to pop! Then give it to the world! 

Reincarnation with Love

 

"We existed before our birth, and we will exist after physical death."

Dr. Brian Weiss

Death is a difficult topic for all peoples and residue from losing one other can be devastating for years to come. I cannot help but wonder if it isn't easier for the individual who has left this realm. There is endless discussion about returning to our home and to our loved ones who now reside with the Divine.

With growing documentation about near death experiences, one is encouraged to believe in other realms that provide insights into this current life's purpose. And of course, the elasticity of time also becomes of interest. As souls, is there really just one beginning and ending with this physical experience or is this just one of many?

Remembering that we are souls passing through numerous reincarnations, not just physical bodies, it would seem we are capable of most anything. We try to visualize a heightened sense of being here when it would seem the lesson remains the same: unconditional love. The confines and tribulations seem to shift when looked at through a lens of love.

Knot of Confusion

 

"The most confused you will ever get is when you try to

convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie."

Shannon L. Alder

While engaging with others, we might feel an uneasiness in our belly. The subject matter might be upsetting, or we may have just picked up on an inconsistency from a previous conversation. There is a need to be flexible and open, but when our reaction is discomfort, our inner self may be trying to alert us.

There is a difference between an inconsistency and an out and out lie. If we are noticing a deliberate falsehood, there may be a need to explore this individual. Are they who they pretend to be? Are they consistent or do they change opinions from one scenario to another? Do they create confusion from one situation to the next?

As plants grow and develop, they may need fresh soil or a larger pot. The same is true for us. We may need to enrichen resources to explore fresh beginnings. As we move forward, we meet new people who can expand our horizons. This does not mean we have to end other relationships, but perhaps just adjust them. Loosen this knot of confusion.

Dead End Dreams

                         "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."                                         Thomas Edison

We may have given up on our dream for happiness based on our numerous attempts to manifest it. There seems to be a natural tendency to continuously add details to our projected vision, believing that we must be more descriptive. Maybe we think that those above are not  hearing our detailed description of dreams come true.

No matter our current age, life is not to be regarded as being 'over'. If we are breathing, our thoughts still count. Rather than revisiting all of the ways that have led to a seemingly dead ends, be still and open the mind to a very clean slate. Drop details, release expectations and simply open the mind to incoming information.

Perhaps we have failed in the past because we are chasing someone else's dream. If we turn inside without any expectations, we may finally be open to alignment with our visions. If we have carried a dream for years, perhaps it is time for revision. Be still, open to possibilities, and preview new perspectives. 

 

If Unhappy, Change!

"It's far better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone."

Marilyn Monroe

When were we initially told that being alone was shameful? Can we recall an early time when someone was infusing us with joy about an opportunity to be alone? Alone time steadies the nerves, heals the wounds, and aligns our emotions. It is a quiet time to connect with our inner being as well as the Divine.

If we are feeling overwhelmed, explore inner worlds cleaning out clutter. Use silence to explore the heart's desire. While broadening perspectives, we can creatively stir new options to bring excitement back into existence. Looking outside of ourselves, we learn of other people's remedies which are not necessarily the best for ourselves.

When we choose to sit in silence, removing outside distractions, breathing calmly, our inner self becomes more present. Who are we anyway? How have our interests and values shifted? Are we surrounded by beings who meet our interests now or from the past? Be still and know Divine is within waiting to lead us into happiness.
