enlightenment get-better needs
A flash of enlightenment offers a preview of coming attractions, but when it fades, you will see more clearly what separates you from that state - your compulsive habits, outmoded beliefs, false associations, and other mental structures. Just when our lives are starting to get better, we may feel like things are getting worse - because for the first time we see clearly what needs to be done.
letting-go inspirational-life attachment
Life is not suffering; it's just that you will suffer it, rather than enjoy it, until you let go of your mind's attachments and just go for the ride freely, no matter what happens.
recovery tasks done
A little bit of something beats a lot of nothing. Break the largest of difficult tasks into the smallest of steps and it can be done.
faith spirit recognition
Faith is the recognition that Spirit works in, as and through each and all of us - through every person and every circumstance.
wings greatest-fear forever
Your greatest fear is death and your deepest craving is survival. You want Forever, you desire Eternity. In your deluded belief that you are this 'mind' or 'spirit' or 'soul', you find the escape clause in your contract with mortality. Perhaps as 'mind' you can wing free of the body when it dies, hmm?
yoga light comfort
The light will disturb us when we're comfortable, and comfort us when we're disturbed. We turn to spirit for help when our foundations are shaking only to find out that it is spirit who is shaking them!
spiritual self practice
Inward spiritual practices such as meditation, breathing techniques and self-analysis generate insights and enhance abilities, but none are so useful as learning to live harmoniously in a committed relationship, being a skillful parent, or juggling the demands of daily life.
spiritual law challenges
When we align our lives with spiritual laws, challenges remain, but we can approach them with arms open wide, ready to dance.
blessing clarity difficulty
Looking back we see with great clarity, and what once appeared as difficulties now reveal themselves as blessings.
warrior stronger demand
Remember that life develops what it demands - the toughest path creates the strongest warrior. Pray not for a lighter load, but for stronger shoulders.
mind loses senses
When you lose your mind, you'll come to your senses.
peaceful-warrior moments
Where are you? Here What time is it? Now What are you? This moment.
exercise law body
Your body is malleable; you can sculpt it over time with daily habits of diet and exercise. The law of accommodation reminds us that the body may change slowly, but it will change.
blessed responsibility choices
We are both burdened and blessed by the great responsibility of the will - the power of choice. Our future is determined, in large part, by the choices we make now. We cannot always control our circumstances, but we can and do choose our response to whatever arises. Reclaiming the power of choice, we find the courage to live fully in the world.
