Sorrow and Delight
“When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.” ~Kahlil Gibran Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the loss and sorrow. A part of us has been taught that this is somehow wrong, and we create stories…

Listen to Your Body – its Listening to You
The words we choose in our thinking, our speech and our writing, impact on how we feel and our overall well being. Have you ever noticed how a word can bring up a certain feeling inside of you? A sensation, a thought or an emotion? Choosing a word that connects with your heart and soul can…

Inner Alignment
Photo by Garon Piceli on Pexels.com We live in a self absorbed society where everything seems to be directed to feeding the insatiable and bored little “me”. When we start finding our Middle Ground, we get in touch with our inner being and experience what is happening in the moment. This inner world includes…

Wishing for Things to be Different
Acceptance of ‘what is’ can be the hardest part of the journey. Doubts, flaws, mistakes and self absorption are part and parcel of life. Yet, how easy to forget, especially in those times when they overwhelm us and highjack our thinking. Wishing for things to be different, creates anxiety about whether we have made the…

Being Out of Integrity
This is a re-post I found inspiring to me today. Take time to find your middle ground and come home to your Self. oooOOOooo I used to think that when I was out of integrity I was not walking my own talk and my thoughts were not in alignment with my beliefs and values. That…

Inspiration – Dandelions
Sometimes traditional stories hit the right spot. This one often does for me. Nadia spent the whole autumn sowing and preparing his garden. In the spring, the flowers opened, and Nadia noticed a few dandelions that he had not planted. Nadia pulled them up. But the seeds had already spread, and others grew. He tried to…

Human Being
“You are a Human Being. These two words not only describe who you are as a member of a particular species but, if examined more deeply, also point to the twofold nature of your identity. Human is who you are on the level of form; that is to say, your body and mind. Those two…

Be Present to Negative Emotions
Go ahead and embrace the importance of negative emotion. Your emotions and the way you feel is your guidance system and it is telling you everything you need to know. If you feel negative emotion, then you are either resisting how things are in the present moment, resisting something that was in the past, or…

Growth and Happiness

In the Mirror of your Mind
“In the mirror of your mind all kinds of pictures appear and disappear. Knowing that they are entirely your own creations, watch them silently come and go. Be alert, but not perturbed. This attitude of silent observation is the very foundation of yoga. You see the picture, but you are not the picture.” ~ Sri…

Just When you Think You’ve Got it
Many of us continue our path into 2019. We are on a journey of curiosity, inner exploration, trying on new ideas, committing to better behaviors, taking care of ourselves … and taking time out to nourish mind, body and spirit. We see ahead clearly and then something comes along to bring doubt, temptation, discomfort or rejection.…

Nothing to prove
Enjoy this re-post and Middle Ground pause. “There’s nothing to prove, nothing to figure out, nothing to get, nothing to understand. When we finally stop explaining to ourselves, we may discover that in silence, complete understanding is already there.” Steve Hagen Within nothing is everything Beyond everything is nothing When the unknown becomes known there is…

Reflection – Winter and Self Inquiry
“Even with its storms, winter is the quietest time of year. There is nothing like the quiet after a storm. If you have had the privilege of being in the mountains right after a snowfall when there’s no wind, nothing moving, the snow is sucking up every sound, and you hear a deep silence everywhere,…
