| Article Title :: Dreaming Perpendicular To Life |
| |
| The horses on the merry-go-round know something about life that we often forget. They go around and around in their “lives” much as we do. They face forward and move along their path. We do that too. But they have a vertical pole that’s physically visible and palpable. They go up and down within the forward thrust of their movement. Most of us prefer getting on one of the horses that goes up and down to riding the ones that just go forward. The kids all run for the horses that will give them the feel of the perpendicular movement.Our lives would be much more “merry” if we’d remember to include that vertical component in our personal “go-round.”Creating Your R (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Touching The Air |
| |
| The tealeaf steeps in the water that surrounds it. This is how it makes tea. We drink the tea. A similar but invisible process takes place on a much larger scale all around you. All material things steep in the air that surrounds them. They make a sort of “air tea” in their aura. While we don’t think twice about touching most things, we rarely take the time to touch the air around them. But just as we enjoy drinking the tea, we can also benefit from touching the air.Why Touch the Air?Why bother touching the air around something? For the same reasons you would touch the thing itself.
You get information about things by touching them. You can get additional input about (read full article) |

| Article Title :: You Are Your World |
| |
| S/He who sees all beings in the Self
(Atman)
And the Self in all beings,
Shrinks not from anything thereafter.-Isavasya Upanishad
translation by Swami SivanandaWithin you there is an opening. Within the vastness of your consciousness there is a doorway. The air is
the same on both sides. The scene is no different inside or out. But on one side you are a separate being
living a distinct life in a concrete world. On the other you are fluid consciousness, continuous with all of
creation. Both possibilities live inside you. Both realities offer you a day of activities when you wake up
each morning. Do you consciously choose (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Power Of The Edge |
| |
| Reality has no edge. In fact, that’s how we recognize it. If it has an edge, it’s not reality.A movie on a big screen draws you into its reality immediately. Once you lose your awareness of the edge
of the screen, the film becomes your world. A world with no edge becomes reality. For an even more
extreme experience of a simulated no-edge-reality, try on some virtual reality goggles. They fill your entire
visual field right up to the edge and so we put the word “reality” into the name of that technology. We
don’t usually get this shift in reality from watching a TV screen. The edge of the screen is always visible
and constantly whispers, “What you are watching is no (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Jell-O And Workboots |
| |
| A few moments with your shoes can change your life. Your worn out boots can show you how you move through life. Your sneakers get tilted, scuffed and stretched out. Your slippers get pressed on, pushed on and shaped from your soul to your sole. Your shoes sit beneath all your movements and they form
themselves to your gesture. Like jello in a mold, your shoes become just like you. Look at them and sense the trail of your activities.Meditate on Your LoafersYou can even meditate on your shoes. You will find your strength, your fear, your power and your
distortions all in the contour of the wear of your running shoes. What you will come face to face with in
this process is t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: New Life Soup |
| |
| January always offers the hope of a fresh beginning. We get a
glimmer of a feeling about the new year to come. We think that
this may just be the year that our dreams will come true. We
create resolutions and goals. We outline new ways of eating,
new exercise routines, new heights of romance and new
schemes for financial abundance. We set out to make a new life
soup.But our fantasies don’t always turn out the way we would have
hoped. Our soup doesn’t always taste much different from last
year’s batch.If this has been your experience, you may be so focused on the soup that’s already in
your pot that you have no room for a new recipe. Have you ever tried to (read full article) |

| This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.-FolksongHow bright is your light in this moment? Is your beautiful spirit
glowing in your face? Is your field radiating rainbows of love? Or
is your brilliance hidden within worries? Has your armor blocked your luminosity? Have you forgotten your true nature?Plodding through physical life on Earth can become so challenging that it distracts you
from your own light. That may not seem like such an important loss but try watching a
movie with no light streaming from the projector. Try navigating your ship when clouds
block the stars. With no light, life becomes difficult and di (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Invisible Progress |
| |
| Have you noticed that some desires manifest quickly and easily
while others seem to drag on and on without even a hint of
fulfillment? Does your heart long for a mate? Does your pocket
ache for some cash? Does your mind chat about enlightenment
all through your meditation? As spring approaches we have the
opportunity to plant seeds. Long before the seeds bring us
zinnias and zucchini they offer us a far-reaching lesson.We place the seed in the earth. The clock ticks. Days pass. The
ground is quiet and still. It looks like nothing is happening.
Meanwhile, under the surface, the seed awakens. A life is born. However, the seed’s
transformational awakening looks exactly like (read full article) |
