Resting in Connection ~ disarming the ways in which we hold back from love & intimacy

A married couple I know and love shared with me last week one of the greatest resources they discovered last winter, as they were passing through a very difficult time: it was a practice they called ‘Resting in Connection.’ I was deeply inspired by the beauty and simplicity of this way of naming a very powerful resource. ‘Resting in Connection,’ if we take it up as a practice, will connect us with a deep source of nourishment and healing, and also with the challenges,...

Your Inner Joyful Burning

I was shocked at how cold it was, as the shadow of the moon fell across the sun today. My whole body started to contract and collapse, as the solar energy dimmed. I found myself, without even thinking, offering a prayer from my heart to the sun. I told the sun I was sorry for not fully recognizing its immense generosity, the gift of life it continuously pours down on every molecule of our planet, without holding back. I was down by the ocean, sitting there with my family, opening myself to the...

There is a Secret One inside

The Secret One inside only remains a secret because of us, because of you, because of me. And because of our ancestors, and how they lived. The lost and hidden parts of us are never completely submerged–they sprout signs of their existence for anyone who cares to really listen. Sometimes the signs are symptoms: weariness, illness, longing, ennui. The signals can be difficult to decipher, unless I am alert, like an animal tracker, sniffing the wind.
