Enough and beautiful.

Make sure you do your best to communicate and work through things with love.

In cases of abuse however, it is clear, the important thing is to say no.

We are distinct as individuals, and yet not separate from the whole.

The absolute is absolute. There is no thing, no expression, no experience that can be apart from it.

It is only in our thinking of ourselves as different that we create separation.

Even on a scientific level, at the level of atoms and energy, quantum physics tells us there are no actual definite boundaries.

When we have a wonderful time, it passes.
When we have a terrible time, it passes.

We are always ‘returned’ to that which we never actually left, the reality of our self, here and now.

Trust this. Know this. Deepen your knowing of this.

Awareness aware of awareness.

Here we come home to the heart of reality.

Seek to know that in you which doesn’t change.

Practice listening.

You are much more than your reactions. You are the conscious awareness that can relate to your observed reaction and make a choice.

Learn to stop and look. Learn to take responsibility for your experiences and how you are taking things.

The same thing can be responded to in many different ways, depending on how different people think about it/hear it.

When something triggers you, will you take the route of your higher expression or your lower acting out?

Your ego acting out will often lead to more of the same, as it attracts and is attracted to its own vibration.

Conscious awareness can prioritise peace and care and kindness and love and moving beyond conflict.

It might seem like hard work at first to learn to stop and hold yourself rather than letting lose into reaction, but in the long run it is much harder to live a reactive life. And your relationships will suffer.

And at the end of the day, you are the one that has to be in your experience, you are the one that is with yourself and your choices and feelings every moment.
Isn’t it preferable to practice to feel and create peace?

People often say they fear the unknown and prefer to stay in the known, their comfort zone.

Well yes there is that choice on one level, and yet in reality, we live in the unknown all the time.

Life ultimately, is able to change and turn and shake things up in any moment.

Sometimes recognising this can be a relief and liberation, as we can realise we don’t have to control everything.

We can let go. We can live in a more surrendered, trusting state and let life take care of life.

You are more than any thought, as every thought you have requires you to be there first to have it and engage with it.

You are beyond all thinking, ideas and definitions. There is no defining our formless consciousness. Even the word consciousness is just a word.

Become aware of all you do to avoid stopping and just being with yourself.

To become peaceful within, there is often a process of first having to identify, acknowledge, feel and sort through all the stuff we have suppressed.

Our ghosts, fears and belief systems often rise within silent space, in order to be seen, healed and released.

Not wanting to experience them keeps us running on the treadmill of distraction, busyness, addictions or perhaps repeated unhealthy relationships.

The first step is to start to explore and identify what these fears and ghosts are for you. We all have our version of them, no matter our upbringing. It’s just part of the human psyche.

When we can work through these with support, we can start to empty out. We can learn to see their threat as devoid of true reality or any substance in the now. We can stop running and just be with ourselves and whatever experience arises.

We can be safe enough to feel.

And we then will find ourselves in the space of silence and peace more often.
