Words of Wisdom

All of us can work for peace.
We can work right where we are,
right within ourselves,
because the more peace we have within our own lives,
the more we can reflect into the outer situation.

On Meditation

On my way to meditation, I travel, I dance, I sing, I live and I love the world. But today, whenever I can, I appreciate more to be alone to drink the inner silence, it is so fulfilling and so sweet.

Looking for Lasting Happiness?

Start Searching Inside Yourself

Lasting happiness is not out of reach. In fact, it's right where most people don't want to look -- inside.

The fact that you will only find lasting happiness by looking inside yourself explains why most people can’t find it. Most people spend their lives looking outside of the self for happiness, rather than starting the search inside. This truth is at the heart of the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, Neale Donald Walsch, Tony Robbins and many others.

What Stops a Person from Looking Inside

The most obvious block to finding happiness is whatever it is that stops you from looking inside yourself. People don’t want to turn and face what is hunting them, not even if it is happiness itself. It is easier to run away from emotions by watching TV, being endlessly busy, self-medicating with drugs and alcohol, or sleeping. Even pretending to be happy is a way of avoiding finding out what is going on under the surface.

Meditation and Everyday Life

Meditation is a wonderful path to stillness, and it, too, can be a way of avoiding feeling emotion. In fact, much of meditation aims at teaching the individual how to put the mind and emotions into a state of emptiness. True, it is a great way to clear negative emotions and access peace, joy and sweet liberation, as Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, author of Getting in the Gap and many other books, demonstrates. And yet, the challenge is always to come back to everyday experience and maintain that peace or happiness. Awareness will reveal a dependency if the first thought when faced with a challenging experience is “If only I could meditate right now.”

Staying Inside the Emotion

It is not the meditating that gets you where you need to go, but its exact opposite -- staying inside the negative emotion long enough for it to lose its power over you. This can take a minute, or even less, if you have learned that negative emotion is just energy which will dissipate completely if you let it come and go, and don’t act on it, don’t feed it. Eckhart Tolle speaks of this eloquently in A New Earth - Awakening to your Life's Purpose.

Memories and Emotions

Strong emotions are usually associated with specific memories. The body holds onto these memories. During a Journey process the person is guided to empty out the emotions in the context of that memory. The emptying out can lead to a watershed moment of release. Healing starts from the instant the body reaches forgiveness for whatever caused the pain. This does not mean that the behavior that caused the pain is condoned or that it is considered in any way acceptable. Rather, the person feeling the pain is freed from the associative link, through the act of forgiveness.

Baby Steps

If you are afraid to face what is inside of you because it causes you fear, then you also cut yourself off from access to the happiness and joy that is inside of you. Like a baby learning to walk, the first steps are the hardest. Trusting that this is the way to go is essentially a choice. It is a choice to trust that people like Tolle and Walsch are telling the truth – that lasting happiness is available to you if you are willing to look for it inside yourself.

Dates for this week's free Live Video Meditation (Zen)

"I could tell that you seeing meditation as a something "to do" and that there should be a result to obtain.Trust me when I say there is huge value is being quiet and attaining nothing. Think of it as a mental rest from everything else you are doing and in that rest, you are allowing your mindbody to recharge as it needs to. There is nothing you have to do but sit and know that you are benefiting from doing so."(Eric Reynolds)

Spiritual Wisdom

I have entered the deep mountains to silence and beauty; in a profound valley beneath high cliffs, I sit under the old pine trees. Doing zazen in my rustic cottage is peaceful, lonely and truly comfortable.

Spiritual Wisdom

Whatever the tradition, years of practice are necessary before an opening occurs and you finally realize the absurdity of trying to achieve anything. This search for truth or enlightenment is the barrier itself that separates us from what we seek.
