Between the Mystic and the Mundane

“Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place.”

~Rumi~

To be the soul of a place speaks of conscious silence, empowerment and peace. Our role is to bring a sacredness to all that we do. Your spirit can lift the energy of those around you. An awakened spiritual seeker can transform the mundane into the ordinary because of the light that shines through them.

Unique gifts are discovered by slowing down and keeping things simple. Whether walking in a garden or standing on a subway, there is magic to be discovered. Oneness arises through Presence and rather than waiting for such moments to arrive, create them. This can become your natural way of experiencing life and that is the art of Zen – living an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.

Balance and awareness allow you to participate in situations one step removed from the emotion and drama, alert to the nuances of the bigger picture because of your expanded vision. Drop all judgment and attachment to the details and be available for whatever comes your way. If you stumble, find the humor, pick yourself up and walk on. You are a bridge between the mystic and the mundane.
