Day 26~ Finding Peace In A Great Class

I have a friend who always says, “I would never ever talk to a friend the way I talk to myself.” I can often relate to her statement and wonder why I would chose to channel a negative voice when I can just as easily be kind to myself. There is something about the class […]

I have a friend who always says, “I would never ever talk to a friend the way I talk to myself.” I can often relate to her statement and wonder why I would chose to channel a negative voice when I can just as easily be kind to myself. There is something about the class that I went to today that I particularly love, not just because there is great instruction, but also because it somehow breeds acceptance within me about what I can do and what is not quite working. I leave feeling ok about my limitations and real gratitude for being able to participate in such a positive experience. The class has the effect of muting that unproductive negative voice.

Heart~ Day #7 (Week #4)

By Linda Malcomb • May 3, 2020
“There is a light in the core of our being that calls us home—one that can only be seen with closed eyes; We can feel it as a radiance in the center of our chest. This light of loving awareness is always here, regardless of our conditioning. It does not matter how many dark paths we have traveled or how many wounds we have inflicted or sustained as we have unknowingly stumbled toward this inner radiance. It does not matter how long we have sleepwalked, seduced by our desires and fears. This call persists until it is answered, until we surrender to who we really are. When we do, we feel ourselves at home wherever we are. A hidden beauty reveals itself in our ordinary life. As the true nature of our Deep Hear is unveiled, we feel increasingly grateful for no reason—grateful to simply be.” —John J. Prendergast, PHD, The Deep Heart

SUN!~ Day #6 (Week #4)

Seems like it’s been rainy, windy, dreary for eons. Which may have helped us shelter inside a bit more. I remember reading years and years ago in a Seth book that weather can be influenced, and even created by mass human emotion. Why not? We are far more powerful than we currently acknowledge, and science is beginning to validate many phenomena that had seemed inconceivable before. Those seemingly endless days of “bad” weather seemed congruent with the emotional tone of covid her in New England. And now SUN! Glorious, warming, invigorating, hope-filled Sun! Today I will be outside basking and gardening and thanking. And I’m sure the whole neighborhood, and most of New England will go outside, stand with our faces to the sun and breathe a huge healing breath of joy. And maybe the collective energy of that will resonate out across the word as a promise of brighter days to come.
