Are we listening so as to understand what the other is saying to us? or are we listening to misunderstand them? While we would never believe we would intentionally do the latter, most of the time, most of us are doing exactly that. Our protective shields of conditioning and ego stories are constantly talking to… Continue reading Listen to understand

To be a loving person
“When one moves into the desire to be a loving person, the inner healing begins to take place, and one gets to experience Life as loving despite its emotional ups and downs. The process of Life itself and the innate nature of what is happening are loving and come from a God of unconditional love… Continue reading To be a loving person
The joy in play
I find this image so comforting. A warm, inviting toy shop full of toys waiting to be played with. A large play area where many toys can be arranged and re-arranged as the story of the play changes with imagination and wonder. Immerse yourself into this situation, perhaps there is snow falling outside, and a… Continue reading The joy in play
Sit back, rest with Life
Everyone of us has at least one thing we are figuring out right now, if not several. The problems/puzzles that seem impossible, too difficult to solve. Our inner critic and ego love having a go at this, they tell us that we need to keep working at it, and they come up with a myriad… Continue reading Sit back, rest with Life
Welcome in the new curriculum

We are taught/ we have perceived how love exchange happens from the caregivers that surround us as… Continue reading Humans just need to feel loved

At first we may not notice this inner voice of criticism. In the early parts of our spiritual journey we start to recognize its existence and may find it shocking, the vile that it projects toward us. The most common ones for me are these “you are a failure”, ” you have too much to… Continue reading The inner critic
The Energy Exchange
We aren’t always aware of this but we are always exchanging energy with each other, objects in our environment and with nature. In fact, this energetic system is vast, way bigger than our human physical bag of bones. As depicted above, this exchange may be healthy, unhealthy and apathetic for most of us. We have… Continue reading The Energy Exchange

We are also constantly telling ourselves stories. Consciously, and usually… Continue reading The stories we believe
