Be a hope-giving force!

 

Strive to be uncynical, to be a hope-giving force, to be a steward of substance.

Welcome the Abusers

 

 

You can rest assured, Ron, that those who have hurt you had absolutely no idea of what they were doing nor what might come from it. It never occurred to them that you'd become even more magnificent. That they'd be invoking your sympathy, adding to your compassion, and increasing your "sparkles." And it will still be eons before they can grasp that you actually welcomed them into your life for some of these very reasons. Cute.

Love you with all of my heart,
    The Universe



Day 3 Bringing the True Self Home

 

Bringing the True Self Home

“Each one has to find his peace from within.” – Mahatma Gandhi

We have all experienced those moments in life when we felt loved, secure, and at peace; that is your true self shining through. This core self is the real basis for all successful and rewarding relationships in your life. The true self is fundamentally different than our false self with its ego-centered desires, judgments, and goals. When we try to establish relationships based on our ego needs, we invariably find conflict.

In today’s meditation, we learn that when we experience our essential self and make it our core identity, we have found the common ground of love and peace to connect with others.

CENTERING THOUGHT

My true self is the source of peace and love.

SANSKRIT MANTRA

Shanti Hum
I am peace.

"Be anxious for nothing"

JUST TO BE ALIIVE

I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable...but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Day 2 Ideal Relationships and Where They Come From

Ideal Relationships and Where They Come From

“For I no sooner in my heart divin'd my heart, which by a secret harmony still moves with thine, joined in connection sweet.” – John Milton

In today’s meditation, we learn that ideal relationships are based on how we relate and connect to our core self. To feel loved, respected, cared for, and close to others, we must find and feel those values for ourselves first. All that we seek in relationships will only be found if we start by knowing and actualizing love in our own being.

CENTERING THOUGHT

My relationships begin within, through love and caring for myself.

SANSKRIT MANTRA

Karuna Hum
I am compassion.

Day 1 All Relationship Is Connection

 All Relationship Is Connection

“A bond is a deep connection that cannot be broken – heart and heart are connected.” – Pheng Xiong

Welcome to our 21-Day Meditation Experience, Creating Peace from the Inside Out: The Power of Connection. We are happy you are joining us in this Meditation Experience to learn how to become your peaceful self from deep within your own heart. On this journey over the next three weeks, we will come to understand and experience that peace starts from the inside out.

Today’s meditation teaches us that to create heart-to-heart connections, we must begin by connecting to our own true self. Secondly, that our relationships will be strong, loving, and nurturing when our awareness is expanded. Over the next 21 days, we will explore how the peace and love we find inside can grow and connect with others through all our relationships.

CENTERING THOUGHT

Ideal relationships are my intention every day.

SANSKRIT MANTRA

Aham Prema
I am love.
