Meditation takes place when you bring all your awareness to this moment.

True forgiveness is one of the most healing releasing, and freeing gifts we give to ourselves.

After about ten years of study I ended up feeling so full and blessed that I wanted to give some of what was given to me back to humanity.

When you are willing to shine the light of love onto the parts that you are not proud of - onto the unaccepted parts, the unloved parts, the unwanted emotions, into all the darkened corners of your soul - love will suffuse them, embrace them, until you are left as nothing but love itself. Love arises when you expose everything.

You have to love with an open hand. The heart is like a bird and you have to let this bird fly freely, you cannot possess it.

I'd overlooked the obvious because my focus had always been elsewhere! All along, this that I had been seeking was already here.

Know that whatever is happening in your life right now, it's there for a reason. Just accept the things the way they are. Just relax and let go of all the mental constructs that your mind is creating. Acceptance leads to wholesome right action.

I ended up spending years on a spiritual quest - diving into the world's great spiritual traditions.

Recognize how truly blessed you are. Take time to count your blessings and write them down. To make your dreams come true you must already be soaking in the very presence you wish to create.

Relaxing, embracing, surrendering, trusting - these are the only tools of a lover of truth. So, turn from warrior into a lover.

And I deeply pray that everyone discovers that they can strip away anything that might be holding them back on every level, and can begin living life from the real essence of their own soul.

The song of your soul is longing to be sung. Let your own essence express itself freely.

If emotional issues remain unaddressed over long periods of time, sometimes they can manifest as physical blocks or disease.

Have the willingness to go into the roots of your worst fear until you feel the essence of what you are, your pure potential, the foundation of what you really are.

Honour, cherish and nourish yourself.

No matter how deep the issue is and no matter how long you have struggled with it, the possibility exists for you to become absolutely free, whole, and healed.

True courage is the willingness to fully experience whatever you are feeling at the moment. You can attempt to run from your emotions, but eventually they will catch up with you. They will chase you, haunt you, until finally you give up the chase.
