There is so much to be said for how we wake up and how we go to sleep. This precious time can be the most powerful of the entire day. Upon awakening, there is a newness, a sense of opportunity, of new beginnings that we can access so long as we do not rush to pick up the stress or agitation we were running with the day before. At the end of the day, if we take time to clear our mind and emotions we will get to sleep more easily and rise with a clearer mind.

Waking Up Consciously

One of my teachers told me something that stays with me to this day. He said, “as soon as you wake up, get up.” The sleep we get after we hit the snooze button can often make us more foggy and tired. If we get up right away, we can use the time to connect inwardly, before the duties of the day pull us into action.

When you first wake up, you are relaxed, your brain has been operating at the theta and delta brainwave states during sleep, which linger as you wake up. If you pay attention at this...

Remaining Centered in a Turbulent World

At any given moment we are influenced by so many things. Our senses are reporting in about our environment. Our mind is busy with some agenda whether conscious or unconscious. Our experience is being colored by whatever dominant emotions we feel, and somewhere in the midst of all this is our center, the still point around which everything else is turning.

PHYSICAL CENTER – In the Yoga Tradition, when you are standing upright, your physical center is considered the navel, typically described as around 1-2 inches below the belly button. This is your gravitational center. Gravity pulls mass downwards. When we are balanced and connected to our navel point it allows us to ground through the legs (with gravity) and lift through the spine and torso (resist gravity). When we are aware of and connected to our center of gravity, there is a natural balancing of the body, which in turn brings a feeling of ease, stability, and connection.

MENTAL CENTER – The mind...

Embracing Growth

The web of love and light that connects us is enlivened as we feed it with energy. To do this we have to overcome our habitual state, dominated by often negative and worrisome thoughts and emotions. This habitual way of being is like the warm familiar cloak that veils possibility and keeps us in the ever repeating known. While the routine knowns of life can feel comfortable for a time, after a while we begin to stagnate and lose our zest for adventure, and to fear what we do not know.

The way to step out of this ever repeating past, to begin to evolve and awaken new potentials is twofold:

Embrace a willingness to change, and techniques that allows you to penetrate through your veiled perception to the inner expansive field of light. You can then learn to attune to a higher frequency, stabilize it in your consciousness and return to three-dimensional reality with the capacity to operate from a clearer and more connected place.
Surround yourself with conscious community....
