If It Were An Ally

For all life?

Reset Time!

Reset Time!

Reset time is living in Beginners Mind as fresh eyes and fresh beginnings are revealed.

Here are a few ways Reset Time manifests:
-Follow your intuition as you drive yourself to an unknown location for an overnight.
-Spend 24 hours in your flannel pj’s unplugged so you can plug into your inner world.
-Wander around the town you live in as though for the last time.
-Take yourself out on a date and surprise yourself with unusual gifts.
-Go to bed an hour earlier and get up an hour later. Record your dreams as they arise.
-Give yourself permission to do what you have always wanted to do!

Following through…

Following through…

We promise ourselves so many things. Sometimes
we forget the follow through to make it a reality.

Remember: You are your oldest and dearest friend.
Without following through on self-commitment we
turn our backs on ourselves and forget who we are.

Challenge: Each day this week fulfill a promise you
have made to yourself and follow through.

In this moment: What is alive in you?

In this moment: What is alive in you?

Using breath as your ally, imagine the inhale and
exhale as a flashlight highlighting what is
manifesting within.

Developing awareness takes courage. The courage to
go slow while being attentive to how you are naturally

Again, ask yourself “What is alive in me?”

Give yourself a few minutes to witness what arises.

I-PhoneLookers and ShoeLookers

I-PhoneLookers and ShoeLookers

Being an I-PhoneLooker or a ShoeLooker keeps us
from experiencing the ten directions of a loving life.

As you keep your head down I challenge you to find
the heart of love in every thought and feeling that
arises from what you view.

Then bring your head up, breathe in the fresh air and
look around.

See the spontaneous smiles of two-leggeds. Listen to
the the HumourMakers and feel again how the body
comes alive with laughter. Smell the scent of snow
coming over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and
witness the excitement of your body. Feel your heart
beat. Notice the preciousness of your human body.

Let yourself evolve into a MiracleLooker…

Think into Emotional Truth Clouding

Think into Emotional Truth Clouding

Think into how you emotionally tell yourself stories
that aren’t necessarily true.  Think into how your
emotions cloud your reality and then perpetuate
illusions.  Think into all this…

And breathe it all out!  This is not who you are.  

Well, then who are you?
