We are much more than our trauma.
We are the light of awareness. We are love, we are aliveness itself moving in the eternal present.

Take the time to look at life more slowly. Learn to receive beauty wherever we can.

Confidence doesn’t mean that we’ve got it all sorted and down or that we know that we are right and always have things in control. Confidence is also in knowing that we can rely on ourselves to show up, be open to learn or receive new insights and remain deeply real, kind and relational even within our human limitations and discomfort.

The nature of life is intelligence itself.

Awakening to who and what we truly are is not reaching some peak state that takes us out of reality. Awakening is recognising and enjoying the divine within the ordinary. It takes us more deeply into reality.

In truth we realise there is nowhere else. There is only here and now.

“If there’s an enemy to awakening, it’s time. It’s preparing, it’s getting there, it’s progressing towards it. All of that’s about time. Where as the fertile ground for spiritual clarity is actually not in time, it’s in right here.” – Adyashanti.

Practice to remain aware to stay present as both the student and the teacher.

When we relax trying to change or impose anything on our thoughts and instead we practice seeing and letting go of thinking on the whole, then we can more often find ourselves in an alive, present neutral space.

Here positivity arises naturally without denying anything in the process or making our negative thoughts wrong. In presence beyond thought, we are grace and gratitude, and we are compassionate with our suffering.

Wisdom embodies both humility and clarity. It is seeing from and surrendering to our formless heart-centered being, beyond mind.
