View these facial expressions and notice what happens inside you!
Imagine telling a child (or anyone) you are happy without any of these facial clues.
Now consider how you use the word happy. Are you honestly expressing happiness because you have happy sensations in the moment or are you incorrectly using it to get your way by saying – I am happy that you, she, he, they……

Meaningful change happens when a tribe of bodies in alignment with each other begin to manifest together. Positive change can happen with the coming together of those who share similar connection beliefs such as acceptance, empathy, direct expressions of honesty, respect, consideration and acknowledgement. The willingness to listen to each others needs will show up in the creation of concrete solutions for the sustainability of life and the planet. Why? It is about growing and expanding not controlling.
There is only experience, and nothing else. It is how you experience that is important, not the end point. It is about the journey on the way. You will know which community is your tribe through the experience of being enriched or drained.
The question becomes then, can you tell soon enough which state you are experiencing and move to the one that serves you better? or, do you like struggle as it is familiar, therefore stay stuck in the mud as it is familiar?

A meditation practice will help you to focus your mind, open your heart and find insight. I can personally recommend Shambhala Meditation offered in North America since the early 70’s. Having discovered this in my *own practice I can attest to the value of exploring this in one’s life and recommend this style of meditation. It will benefit an awaking communication and movement practice.
Examine for yourself how the tools of mindfulness and awareness can help you learn how to work with emotions when they arise, both on and off the meditation cushion. Explore the concept of peaceful abiding that is the core of our being with this on-line introduction.

Recently when describing how contemplation can be an outcome when using a precise formula of spoken words, a colleague mentioned a verse in the bible as follows:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
What a wonderful insight and comparison!
The quote I have connected to in the past as describing this experience comes from Rumi:
“Out beyond right doing and wrong doing there is a field. I will meet you there.”
Here are a few more lines in this chapter that continue to describe an experience of connection that may happen between two people speaking with honesty and listening with empathy.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
