Spiritual Blogs

So I am beginning this blog without anything specifically planned to say. As I write the words are flowing. I feel though, a need to write something, to share SOMETHING, like there is a message in my being waiting to get out. With a pause it feels like people need encouragement to keep going, keep pushing, keep fueling their visions with more juice. So do that! Keep trusting that your life is indeed moving forward (really, as long as time is flowing, that is the only way it can go), and trust that you are moving with your divine purpose, because that is built into the very essence of who-you -are. Your purpose is built into your physical/emotional/spiritual makeup, so it doesn't need to be forced out, just let out. ;)

Also I want to point your attention back to your essence. Not to necessarily become so immersed in it that one is blissed-out and unmoving, but just to re-call attention to that source where all awareness comes from, where all creations come from, where all appearances/forms pass through. That thing is you!  A quick way to experience your essence is to quiet down and take a moment to shift your attention to your breath. As you watch it rise and fall, you notice thoughts/emotions/bodily sensations and all kinds of things pass through your awareness. You will notice that these things have no "hold" on you; they are not essential to who you are. 

If your attention gets too caught up in any one of these passing things, just notice it, and gently remember to return attention to the breath. You may also notice that ideas you have about yourself like "man/woman, old/young, happy/sad, good/bad, etc. etc" are also not-essential to your existence, to "who you are."

So what remains? (This is not something you can answer with an idea, but something to be recognized and experienced)

You've just re-established contact with the very essence of who/what you really are. Use this however you please!

Namaste,
