  • * Inspiration – Happiness

    “My life has no purpose, no direction no aim, no meaning and yet I’m happy. I can’t figure it out. What am I doing right?” Charles Schultz, creator of Peanuts cartoon Sometimes its good to let go of trying to figure things out! Simply keep loving. Muah x

  • * Ego Illusion

    Originally posted on LIVING IN THIS MOMENT: “Make your ego porous. Will is of little importance, complaining is nothing, fame is nothing. Openness, patience, receptivity, solitude is everything.”  – Rainer Maria Rilke Someone told me the other day, that it was important that he have some Ego in his line of work.  I disagree.  You…

  • * Inspiration – Waiting for Safety

    Fern, furled, a question mark waving in the wind, holding to the fetal curl and the safety of the winter womb. Nothing not the gentle kiss of sun, nor stream voice, calling can coax that frond to unfurl one single moment before it does. Danna Faulds from “Go In and In” Poems from the Heart…

  • * Accessing all your Intelligence for a Happier Life

    I recently came across a coaching company called MBraining. They help people access the 3 neural intelligence centers to bring about change and a happier life! A new way of looking at ourselves and our intelligence is always intriguing!   Recent research shows that there are actually three major centers of neural intelligence and processing  in…

  • * Believe Nothing

    “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” – Buddha A sage’s words and wisdom mean little in themselves. Let us all look to our own inner teacher and guide. Trust in…

  • * Inspiration – Roots and Rivers

    “To stay present in everyday life, it helps to be deeply rooted within yourself; otherwise, the mind, which has incredible momentum, will drag you along like a wild river.” Eckhart Tolle I really appreciated this gentle reminder to root into our being in order to calm the mind…. and so I’m paying it forward today…

  • * Inspiration – Tao knowing

    This is one of my favorite quotes from Lao Tzu.  Why not take time to pause and reflect on the words and how they resonate with you today.   Knowing the world is intelligent. Knowing yourself is enlightenment. Bending the world to your will takes force. Willing yourself to bend is true strength. Succeeding in…

  • * Breathe from your Middle Ground

    I am recovering from a lingering cold which has zapped the energy for several days. Today I’m finally breathing better and feeling more like my self again. It makes me appreciate my ability to breathe even more! I’ve written before about how our breath is connected with our wellbeing and emotional state. Noticing how we…

  • *Ego and the Small Pool

    As part of my explorations into ego and persona … I came across this froggy perspective! “The power of ego is like a little pool. In that pool, an egotistical person lives like a frog – his world is small, his borders insecure, and from this perspective, only his own thoughts, feelings, and voice seem to…

  • * Be Confused About What You Know

    “Until you are willing to be confused about what you already know, what you know will never grow bigger, better, or more useful.“                 – Milton Erickson We seek assurance in knowing. When we know, we feel more in control. But we forget that learning is infinite… Let’s be…

  • * Pondering – What’s Wrong?

    I woke up this morning with a memory that is still with me. Whenever I hear something out of the ordinary like a loud bang, or a groan, or even an unexpected noise outside. I call out “What’s wrong?”  This is an automatic knee jerk reaction of mine, and one I learned in my family…

  • * Reflections on Ego – “I” and “i”

    I have been reading more about ego as part of my exploration of the self in yoga. For practitioners (and interested peeps) this is the fourth observance or Niyama called svadhayaya. What I’ve discovered is that what I come across, builds on the foundations that I have written about before here and here. And ……
