The Need For Attention

Harmony is my true nature. Yet harmony is threatening to my ego. When I am in harmony, my ego tries to find ways to get my attention and regain control. If I stay aware and watch it's strategies, trying to find fault with this or that, having opinions about this and that, I can recognize it as the child it is. When I forget and slip into distraction, it can grab a hold and whip me around. Now when I find myself in the grip of my ego and behaving from a less than harmonious state and resisting what is, I can smile and remember, harmony is my true nature, all else is just an illusion created by a child in need of attention.

About Me

Sausalito, California, United States
My purpose and vision is to live an authentically responsible life in alignment with my True Self, joyfully expressing my creative nature, nurturing and fostering a heart alive with wonder and awe. Meditation, tai chi, self-inquiry, reflection, therapy, and an extensive reading of Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, have helped me to develop a serious commitment to living in the moment in peace and joy. Through my persistent questioning regarding troublesome aspects of my own life, I have cultivated effective techniques to guide myself in learning how to recognize, examine and transform the beliefs I hold that cause suffering in my life. Love, gratitude, and surrender to what is, is the key to living a life in flow.
