A wise person is a humble person.
Being humble helps us stay open.
When our mind and heart are open, we live through listening.
With listening life is always alive.

Seek completion in the knowing of your true nature. Being at home in your own being, you are already whole.

The process of coming home to ourself involves seeing that which we are believing or acting from, which is not truth.

Sometimes we are scared to let ourselves really feel.
We might fear that we’ll be overwhelmed by our emotions or drown in them.

Sometimes we have spent a lifetime surviving, which has meant feelings have had to be shut off and the healing is the path of patiently opening.

Learn to safely connect with your emotions by following your breath and being with feelings as sensations in the body.

It is often that we need guidance and support to help do this. Somatic therapies are best for this.

We can use our grounded embodied connection to hold ourselves safely, no matter what emotional storm we are weather in.

And we can know that all feelings have a life span and will pass.

Acceptance doesn’t mean you are passive and don’t still take necessary actions. But with acceptance you gain a different place to step from within your being, a place of more wise, empowered action.

Acceptance is more powerful than we often think. It gives us back our ability to step in alignment with the flow of life and to move with the path of least resistance.

Whether we realise it or not, love is always present. It is just not in the way we usually think of love.

Love allows us to breathe. It brings life force to all things. Love radiates as light through the sky. Love is the simple presence of our soul. Love is serenity and knowing of Self. Love is grace.

Even in difficult times, in our darkest hours, love is there prior, as the overlooked awareness and power to know we exist.

“You are never alone or helpless. The force that guides the stars guides you too.” – Shrii Shrii Anandamurti.

You are not your image.
You are much more than any image.

And besides: line up six people and ask them what they see.. looking at the same image… and they could all give you a different answer.

There is no substance or reality in any image.

We seek connection and fulfilment through so many things, when the fundamental vehicle to help connect and fulfill us, is overlooked and with us the whole time…
That is, being at home and present with our own breath.

Every time you breathe out, you can surrender. Over and over again.

Learning to lean in to trusting the wisdom of life itself.

Surrendering is not a giving up. It is not passive. It is a very engaged, alive, trusting way of being. Present, connected and whole.

I could. I can. I choose to. I will. I want to. I feel like.

‘Shoulds’ are rarely helpful.
Use them to become aware of the things you are imposing on yourself.

Sometimes shoulds might help us see something we want to improve on some level, but it is more empowering to language them in a more consciously engaged way.

This small change in language can help generate and change our relationship with ourself and our level of motivation and energy for things.

We do all sorts of things, some consciously, some unconsciously, to move away from our difficult feelings.

Often with anxiety we try to move away from it by staying busy in our thinking or being distracted in doing things.

What helps relieve anxiety is, counter-intuitively, to move toward the anxious part in us and offer it our listening, open attention.

What is this anxious part in you wanting you to hear? What does it need? It might simply need to be heard and reassured by your awareness. It might help you know if there is something you do need to address and do, that you’re trying to put aside or minimise.

Listening to our anxiety as a communication from a part of us, is different from continuing with anxiety provoking thoughts. It is more like taking our inner child under our wing and giving it support.
