Do you close your heart, or allow life to keep breaking it further and further open until it’s so wide it connects you with all life?
Well-being is not so much about whether you are over something or not, it’s about whether you are open about it.

There are multiple relative truths, existing simultaneously.
Who’s to say that the way I think about something is anymore the ‘right’ way of thinking than the person next to me.
It’s just thought.
Thinking holds no absolute truth. It changes from moment to moment and from person to person. We have to learn to see from beyond mind and points of view, and to connect from consciousness to consciousness. On this level we are one.
Your breath is absolute awareness.
Bring attention to your breathing throughout the day.
Rest here in being.
The whole world is breathing and being.
Allow negative thoughts to come to the surface, to be seen for what they are and to burst like a soap bubble.
With mindful awareness we can catch and see our thoughts and choose whether to give them the power of our believing them or not.
Just because we think something, doesn’t mean it has truth in it.
Do you spend your energy on maintaining or building your identity; who do you think you are, or do you place your energy on releasing identity and coming into the truth of who you are?
Who are you beyond all ideas of who you are?
What is one desire that never leaves your heart?
Strive to live a life aligned with your heart and your highest purpose.
We look outwardly for things we can trust, where actually trust has to stem from inside.
Do you choose to focus on love or fear? Use discernment but don’t cloud your vision with too much complexity.
The truest things in life are the most simple and closest to the heart.
Don’t believe in yourself, release all beliefs and KNOW your Self. Your true natural self was there before and after any belief arose and fell away.
What we believe can be fickle and changing and based on concepts and conditioning. It is not reliable.
Knowing is innate in being. Awareness is synonymous with being. Tune into this level of self connection and lived understanding. This is beyond the need for any belief. It just is.
The deeper ground within you can see and identify the parts of you that come up and play.
‘I need to do what is right for me’…..
Let’s really open this out…
Experiment with being inquisitive, investigate….
Who is the ‘I’ and which ‘me’ am I referring to?
Sometimes ‘l’ can be: a protective parent part of us, or the hurt inner child part of us, or the school teacher/accountant/lawyer part of us, or the addict part of us, or the rebellious teenage part of us.
We have different experiences of what we take to be ourself all the time. We blend and are identified as one part or another at a time, often changing and conflicted.
Don’t just assume that any one part is who you are. Even the part/idea you see yourself as most of the time. We are much more than any part or collection of ideas, thoughts and memories that make up a person.
We are that which sees all parts and ideas come and go and yet remains unchanging.
Structures in the mind can be helpful, but don’t let them imprison you.
Allow yourself to question even your own thoughts and beliefs.
Find the space of awareness beyond all mind. Open and vast and empty yet full, like the sky.
