Purpose and the New Moon

This week the value changes from purpose into support during a new moon phase.  In Tibetan Buddhism the New Moon is a time to breathe in to a calm state and watch your emotions come and go.  It is also is a time for contemplating your true purpose.

  • Why are you here?
  • What do you want to do with your life?
  • What do you want to accomplish?

If you pause to consider your purpose take a moment and consider your nine live areas.  You may have one or two that speaks to you more loudly that the others, yet give a moments thought to each area. Note that each life area may represent the best seasons for certain changes and ecology focuses.

Facilitating couple groups is a powerful experience….

RelationshipDialogue series for couples wrapped up last night for the summer. It ended on an honest note of expressing how this experience was for people in the group and how to move forward with options for practice and future connection. We focused on how if you don’t use it you lose it!  This means if you are shifting your conscious awareness one sentence at a time, you need a tribe to practice with for support to stay in connection and develop different speaking habits. This begs the question, do you have a practice tribe that is committed to expressing honestly and listening with empathy in a way that provides the witnessing and acceptance that is needed for a shift in behavior to happen?

Working with couples in a group like this has been one of the most powerful experiences I have had in facilitating learning groups for shifting consciousness and behavior awareness one sentence at a time. It has allowed me a glimmer into how deeply we love and in turn feel pain when we become enemies in our inability to relate, understand and equally hear each others point or perspective. Think about the power in our personal coupling.  After-all,  it is our parents coupling relationship that shaped us, how we feel, think, react, love, fight, hate….

Unknown Journey……..

There is a meaning in every journey that is unknown to the traveler.

Healing the world through human doing…..

If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear.  People who can open to the web of life that called us into being and who can rest in the vitality of that larger body.

Inspiring oneself……

So many people don’t know how to inspire themselves.  Use everything that moves you:  music, walking by water, flowers, photographs of the enlightened ones.  Inspiration helps so deeply in overcoming laziness…..

The creative person seems to have a special talent for dipping into his intuitive, image-filled right hemisphere while harnessing the illuminating experience with his left brain.
