Do you ever forget that you are a magnificent, abundant, infinite being of light playing a game of discovery…? \”Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.\”  ~Maya Angelou~ The game we play is not about winning. It is learning how to consistently bring clarity and insight to the present moment. Rather than blindly […]

This moment is an opportunity to awaken to your true nature. “You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand,

To participate in the flow of the universe, we must become adept at the art of giving. \”When you learn, teach. When you get, give.\” ~Maya Angelou~ Life operates though a dynamic and consistent energy exchange. We create a flow of abundance through our willingness to share.

Don’t hold back out of fear. Trust the processes of your awakening. “Spiritual practice is a mixture of struggle and integration, of confusion and clarity, of discouragement and aspiration, of feeling failure and going deeper. Don’t imagine that the spiritual path is a straight line to a fixed goal.”   ~Ezra Bayda~ We must simultaneously

Your wounds are a sacred passage to enlightenment. \”We taste the profundity of existence by simultaneously holding both the suffering and the wonder of being alive.\”  ~Ezra Bayda~ The challenges that we face strengthen us. Fear and frustration can be transformed into enlightenment through our conscious effort and intention. May you have the courage to

All of life is a reflection of your state of consciousness. \”Meditation is a good starting point, or even a little bit of contemplative reflection, asking questions like: Who am I without my name or form? What is my purpose if there is one? What do I want out of my life? What am I
