How do we know ourselves? What do the various forms of ourselves look like in the rear view mirror? Is the view pleasing and received with compassion and love or with a grimace? Shift your story about your past. Love all of it.

These words invite us into the practice of radical self-awareness. The parts of ourselves we reject—our fear, grief, anger, sensitivity, and unmet needs—do not disappear; they wait to be seen and welcomed home. Awareness transforms judgment into curiosity, and curiosity dissolves the illusion that some parts of us are worthy of love while others are not. In this non-dual space, we remember that healing is who we already are.

We spend so much time feeling unsafe that we forget how it feels to be safe. Finally finding a practice that brings me to an experience of safety has saved my life. Returning again and again to that practice provides me with longer periods of resting in safety. Suddenly I see how, in the presence of safety, new ways of relating to people take root. Relationships deepen and nourish me.

How do I speak to my body when it is struggling?
• Where have I been demanding healing instead of supporting it?
• What would change if I treated my body as a beloved companion rather than a project to fix?

Meditation on the experience of witnessing the pain and struggles of someone I love. In those moments, I can easily be pulled toward sadness, worry, fear, or the feeling of being overwhelmed by what is needed of me. I also see that I have another choice
I can choose gratitude for the opportunity to love more deeply. Gratitude for the invitation to discover reserves of patience, compassion, and care that I might not have known were there. To be needed is not only a responsibility; it is also a gift. In caring for another, I am given a living opportunity to expand my capacity for love, and to offer that love where it is most needed. In that realization, burden softens into gift.

I am not simple. I am complex, and I honor that complexity rather than apologize for it. I am learning to embrace all the aspects of myself—both material and spiritual—that are woven together in an ever-changing expression of who I am.
I once called myself a chameleon. Now I see that I was simply expressing different parts of myself in communities that welcomed and resonated with those qualities.
I am larger than I once understood. Beyond my physical body, I am becoming aware of the energetic dimensions of my being. These living forces continue to shape, awaken, and reveal new capacities within my soul. As I grow, I seek relationships with those who can honor the fullness of my unfolding Self.

Spiritual teachings are not simply information to be collected. When they arise from genuine inner experience, they carry a living force within them.
We can tune our eyes and ears to perceive the energetic light and sounds of nature. We can read and integrate clear spiritual teachings that help shape the organs of perception within our soul. The words of an awakened teacher are seeds that germinate in the environment of the natural world softened by the energy of light and sound from plants, the earth and animals. Reverence and wonder are the fertilizer for the soul’s capacity to see all these dimensions of reality.
Spiritual study matters because we are participating in our own evolution. The soul is formed by what it takes into itself.
Every time we engage deeply with wisdom born from genuine spiritual insight, something subtle is strengthened within us. Our vision expands. Our intuition deepens. Our capacity to recognize truth grows.

One practice that centers us in the heart for more moments of our day is to walk and name what is seen while your hand gently rests on the heart. The trance of thinking is set aside and the experience is to live for step after step in connected awareness. Ultimately the goal is to experience the consciousness of nature itself and hear it. Yes it can be heard. Or maybe you will see the line of its energy floating around it - an aura of a tree, a flower , a stone. Then you know you are walking well.

Be inwardly receptive. No personal feelings or opinions can interfere. Listen selflessly and receive inwardly so that the higher spiritual being who speaks from within us can be heard.

Reverence, wonder, and devotion strengthen our capacity to perceive and understand the universe. Cynicism and contempt may feel intelligent, but they can slowly close us to deeper ways of knowing. What we approach with curiosity reveals itself.
