The Perfection Of What Is

By Janice Hylton

A compassionate body/breath practitioner said to me today that she felt the common definition of “perfection” was very constrained. I had been a recipient of her work as we shared some observations and questions about the nature of perfection.

What had come up for me a few minutes earlier as I lay on [...]

What does planetary and human evolution tell us about our financial and economic future?

By Diana Caughell

Just this! Human evolution can not be seen as separate from cosmic evolution. Our Universe is a living organic entity and we, the human race and our ability for survival are an integral part of this infinitely on-going metamorphosis of great power and energy. Knowing how to dance to the cosmic rules [...]

HDN FEAR

By Rebecca Traver

“It’s not because things are difficult that we dare not venture. It’s because we dare not venture that they are difficult.” — Seneca

A couple of afternoons ago as I was getting into my car I noticed that a jeep in the space ahead of me had a license plate [...]

Embracing Uncertainty

By Euphrasia Carroll

My interest in overcoming fear feelings around massive uncertainty (both real and imagined)… this is what prompted me to study, practice, and apply this model. When I say “this model,” I am referring to the evolving work of a group of guides who channel through Jennie Marlow, the most grounded channel I [...]

What Is Fear?

By Jennie Marlow

Question: Help me with the word fear. For me, the word has come to mean awe. Or a verb, an arrow pointing me to the unknown, a place of resistance sometimes, and a trusting that an opening will occur.

Fear is a painful emotion caused by our perception that something bad is about [...]

When Bad Things Happen

In the course of anyone’s lifetime, “bad” things are guaranteed to happen. Yet there is nothing wrong with these “bad” things—nor is there anything “right” about them either. They simply happen.  They are neither good nor bad, right nor wrong, and human judgment is best left out of the equation.  It  is much more useful [...]

Taking a Lesson from Monty Python

By Jennie Marlow

How we deal with life can look a lot like that old Monty Python sketch called, “The Fish Slapping Dance.” We really do think we are so clever as we dance around our fears and issues, playing at confronting them, prancing to-and-fro, kidding ourselves into thinking we are really doing something—really getting [...]

On the Move

By Meg Coyle Irsay

My yoga is on the move

Backward and forward and through
My yoga is turning me inside

I am drawn by the hand of my heartbeat right now
to the rhythm of breath and limb.

This blessed thread of Love that holds [...]

This plan you built out of the sticks your [...]

The Body Human

By Rebecca Traver

Lately, I’ve been noticing that my attention has been gravitating to pondering the physical aspect of being human. Like many, I have been influenced by the recent political and corporate debates over health care and insurance reform. Out of that conversation, I am conducting a personal inquiry about what it means to [...]
