Pearls of wisdom I receive by going within and asking.

Peace is a Gift

Everything I feel is my own creation. If what I'm feeling is not enjoyable and causing me discomfort, I can ask myself, "Why would I want to entertain and cultivate this creation of mine, which feels bad?" Or I can just realize that it is the nature of the ego to find faults and justifications for the faults, in an attempt to stay in control. With this realization, I can just drop the issue and return to peace of mind. Personal peace of mind is a gift to the world.

About Me

My photo
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.
