On Getting Good Grades

Spiritual longing is not on a grading scale. There is no cosmic teacher who only give you a 85% on how far you’ve come.  We don’t average the amount of time spent mediating by the amount of books you’ve read and retreats you’ve attended. There is no inventory to be kept for a spiritual education. […]

Finding Heaven and Earth Here and Now

Our minds crave structure. In our busy lives we sometimes stop and let our minds get a taste of peace. Our fears can be soothed, our mind can be reassured. Our thoughts can slow down and we can be still. Peace and quiet are refuges in our lives. Many religious and spiritual practices bring this […]

Cube Farm

On Cubes and Where Did you Keep Your Mind at Work Today?

So I work in an office. In a cubicle, lined up perfectly with other cubicles. Some people refer to this as a “cube farm”. I work in building with four floors, with the top three floors all having the same concept of being solid enough to hold up rows and rows and rows and rows […]

Go Find Your Sacred Stall

Go find your Sacred Stall. If this is your home, then it will be easy to chose where to sit. You can take a moment and catch up with yourself. Breathe. Stop. Stop pushing to do  anything other than what you’re doing right now. Feel your feet – do they hurt? Feel your legs – […]

Rush Hour of your Mind

How and Why to Meditate (since I know you’re looking for this)

“Well you should meditate!” “Meditate on it!” “Well, you know you’d feel better if you just took time to meditate” Phrases like this get tossed out like clichés now. They make is sound like if you take 2 aspirin and some mediation then everything will be fine in the morning. Even Huffington Post has an […]

All you do to me is Talk Talk

So the other day I heard this song on Pandora . It got me to thinking about words and other people’s words. As soon as I type out these words in my head, they are no longer living in me. They are dead words. Don’t get me wrong: dead words contain the potential for lots of […]

What does my soul say to me?

What does my soul say to me? That we are all Brightness Inspired. It’s said that, “You always have a choice.” No one ever said *seeing* the choice was easy. We’ve conditioned ourselves to not see our own choices. But we *can* decide to stop trying to cover up who we really are- brilliant and […]
