If your everyday practice is open to all your emotions, to all the people you meet, to all the situations you encounter, without closing down, trusting that you can do that - then that will take you are far as you can go. And then you’ll understand all the teachings that anyone has ever taught.

Learning how to be kind to ourselves, learning how to respect ourselves, is important. The reason it’s important is that, fundamentally, when we look into our own hearts and begin to discover what is confused and what is brilliant, what is bitter and what is sweet, it isn’t just ourselves that we’re discovering. We’re discovering the universe.

ashramof1 asked: Just got back to a network to find your explosion of joyous posts. Thank you for all the effort. It is deeply appreciated!

It’s kind of you to take the time to say so.  I mostly just reblog what inspires me and I enjoy it very much so it truly is my pleasure.

People get into a heavy-duty sin and guilt trip, feeling that if things are going wrong, that means that they did something bad and they are being punished. That’s not the idea at all. The idea of karma is that you continually get the teachings that you need to open your heart. To the degree that you didn’t understand in the past how to stop protecting your soft spot, how to stop armoring your heart, you’re given this gift of teachings in the form of your life, to give you everything you need to open further.
Pema Chodron

A dark night of the soul is ultimately a good thing, for it both precedes and prepares your spirit for rebirth. The darkness is simply the revisiting of old feelings, in the absence of which true healing cannot occur. It’s important to remember that this darkness is temporary, and leads ultimately to the light beyond it.
~ Marianne Williamson

Group consciousness is something that is not widely understood, yet it is extremely powerful and can, if you are not careful, often overcome individual consciousness. If you cannot find a group whose consciousness matches your own, be the source of one. Others of like consciousness will be drawn to you.
Neale Donald Walsch

Go into the heart of love, and come from that place in all your choices and decisions, and you will find peace.
