Integrating

This whole afternoon, I’d been feeling this jagged part of myself, like an energy that was outside of me but felt familiar, a teenager or even younger, adolescent perhaps (or maybe even younger! like 4,5 with its middle fingers raised, kinda saying “f- you get out of my energy”.  I had a feeling I was actually…

Meditation Musings 3.22

Do you ever wonder where your thoughts come from? and why you believe what you believe? Do you ever wonder why you were born you and not me? Or he? Don’t you ever ponder the fact, that you’re a human and not a rock? 😆 Or maybe a palm tree or a dove, soaring high above……

stillness

Do you know who you are? Have you experienced that self that flows through your body when everything else slows to stillness when all your attention is within when the whirl-wind of thoughts have slowed to a gently breeze… and maybe even disappear.. when the to-do lists, and the “I should’ve done..” fades when you…

A Dream Within A Dream Within A Dream Within…

As I shut my eyes last night I asked if I could experience lucid dreaming, to KNOW I was in a dream and be able to manipulate the dream, consciously. I awoke this morning around 5am with no memory of a dream, ‘no worries, maybe tomorrow’, I thought… I got up to feed my sweet…

Happy Valentine’s Day

“There are human beings on the face of this earth who do not know what love means, or companionship, who do not have parents, who do not have sisters or brothers, who understand an isolation that is bleak and cold, even if it is of their own making. Each of you in this room who…

Through the Ages

Art by Autumn Skye Morrison ~ http://www.autumnskyemorrison.com/ There I was, sitting on my pillow on the floor of my room, wrapped in a blanket, crosslegged, back straight, deeply open, flowing, feeling, after one hour of practicing addithana (strong determination, non-movement) Vipassana Meditation… I opened my eyes, and looked at my hands… and they began to reveal…

Silence

Let silence take you to the core of life. All your talk is worthless. When compared to one whisper of the Beloved. – Rumi Lately, I have not felt like writing, or reading, or speaking.  I desire Silence. Stillness. Awareness. Breath. Myself. Sitting. Very strange compared to how I used to be a year ago,…

Beyond Names – Who is this Me, You, I, We, “Jess”

“Study me as much as you like, you will not know me, for I differ in a hundred ways from what you see me to be. Put yourself behind my eyes and see me as I see myself, for I have chosen to dwell in a place you cannot see.” – Rumi I don’t know…

Silence to Transcend

Three days facebook free.  It feels FREEING, empowering, wonderful.  I do not miss John Doe posting about his gym workouts or Jane Doe posting about her baby and her empowerment seminar she’s holding, or things people are complaining about or feel the need to share publicly. I had a thought today as I was driving…
