Resources for Conscious Living
This poem by poet James McCrea may help you remember why we came to Earth.
These are wise words to embrace the human experience.
A reminder of our higher purpose in this crazy world.
This could be the manual we were all supposed to come with to this planet.
If we all understood these deep guidelines, the world would be a different place.
In the event that you wake up
and find your soul separated from Source
and manifest into material form, […]
If fear and anxiety are flowing through your system now. If your heart feels tender and raw for the challenges you are going through. If you are tired of so much suffering. If you find yourself irritated longing for the uncertainty to finally come to an end, know that there are ways to come back to balance.
Do not judge yourself. There is a healthy place for those emotions. […]
Have you been worrying or thinking too much to the point of creating anxiety, feeling an intermittent anxiety background hum that puts you at the verge of reactivity at the slight trigger?
If you do not interrupt that pattern, your nervous system may get stuck in overdrive.
It is then that you need tools that work quickly and quietly – like turning down the volume without anyone knowing.
Here are 6 science-backed ways to bring yourself back to calm, […]
You have been given a precious, priceless gift, the gift of life. What are you doing with it?
The hard truth is that if you wait until you feel better to start living, you might be waiting forever.
Go live your life. Do it sad. Do it anxious. Do it uncertain. Because healing doesn’t always come before the experience. Sometimes, the experience is what heals you.
This truth is a reminder that life does not wait for the perfect moment. […]
I know it can be super tempting to just sweep things under the rug and avoid dealing with the tough stuff, but trust me, that avoidance ends up costing you big time down the road.
I’ve seen it happen time and time again – people who just keep putting off that self-work, whether it’s addressing unhealthy patterns in their relationships, getting their finances in order, or taking care of their physical and mental health.
And you know what happens? […]
Spiritual Bypassing or Spiritual Materialism, has become rampant lately in both religious and non-religious circles. But what is Spiritual Bypassing?
According to author Teal Swan, it is the practice of using spiritual beliefs to avoid facing or healing one’s painful feelings, unresolved wounds and unmet needs. It is a state of avoidance and therefore it is a state of RESISTANCE. […]
Eventually, everyone gets forgotten.
In just a few generations, no one will remember your name, your struggles, your achievements, or your failures. Whatever feels so important now will disappear completely.
So, why spend your precious time taking everything so seriously? Why worry about what others think? Why stress over small problems? Why care about mistakes that no one will remember?
Think about it. You’re living a temporary life on a tiny planet in an endless universe. […]
This groundbreaking study conducted by UC SanDiego is the latest in a myriad of evidence of the profound impact meditation can have on human biology:
Meditation may boost plasmalogens—powerful antioxidants linked to anti-aging and protection from chronic disease.
It may increase tryptophan metabolism, which supports serotonin (mood) and melatonin (sleep).
It may elevate proteins that support tissue repair and regeneration.
Emotional bonds influence shared changes in brain and heart activity. […]
Mindfulness is a way of being in the world. It is stepping out of our business, our autopilot tendencies, our propensity to worry about what is coming next or what has already happened. With mindfulness we bring deliberate awareness to the present moment.
It is a way of relating to our experience with curiosity, attention and non-judgment.
Life offers so many opportunities in our daily routine to develop our mindfulness practice! Here is one great way to start to meditate if you just have a few minutes: I invite you to consider bringing mindfulness to your next cup of coffee. […]
The cultivation of mindfulness is key to waking up and fully experiencing simple pleasures. Simple pleasures are small things that don’t cost much, if anything at all.
Some examples (among my personal favorites) are:
* going to bed with freshly clean sheets,
* taking a bubble bath,
* listening to your favorite music,
* looking up at the moon and stars,
* feeling the shade of a tree canopy on a hot day,
* sipping a cup of tea in front of a crackling fire on a cold day, […]
