Our Richest Resource

When 'body', 'mind', and 'spirit' are exercised harmoniously, the 'spirit' elevates the body and mind consciousness above the level of the selfish and egotistical and enables us to function as a true 'whole'.  CENTERING, A Guide to Inner Growth.

All people desire a good life and as part of the human experience, we all face challenges.  Our culture depends upon doctors to tend to our bodies, and education to support our minds, but in comparison to other cultures, our spiritual development falters.

Ideally, we travel through life balancing the body, mind, and spirit.   By nurturing our bodies with healthy foods and massage or energy work, by stretching our minds through experiential learning and meditation, and by exploring spiritual beliefs through vision quests or extensive retreats, we develop a natural way to navigate through life without selfish motivation, greed, lust, or ego dominance.

For some of us, there comes a time when we desire to take the leap into nothingness to discover a more personalized rapport with the Divine.  Various opportunities are open to all of us for extending our spiritual experiences, but we must not over look our richest resource...our inner self.

By traveling inward through meditation or communion with nature, loving kindness enhances our self-image and as well as our perception of others.  In embracing others as fellow travelers, we not only support our own spiritual path, but also the roads others choose to travel.   The void within begins to fill and we create the sense of being whole. 

We can draw teachers to us from Omega Institute in New York, Gatherings in Santa Fe, Hidden Retreat Spas all over the country or local seminars,  It is important to remember, however, a true teacher will prepare us to walk on our own path.  Once again, we are led inward, to our true nature.

We need not wait until we have enough money to take the next course or to wait for the perfect opportunity.  We can feed our passion by building a bridge into our own center where we will, at last, be at home.
