We are in this together

 

 

We are living in turbulent times, right?  I don’t know about you all, but I am on a viewing/listening restricted diet when it comes to the news.  I have my vetted sources so that I can keep up somewhat…just enough to continue to stay mentally stable.

One of the reasons that I offer spiritual coaching is because it is needed in the world imho. It seems, imho there are many techniques all around,  however basic morality is typically absent, though the practices taught in a mental health framework derive from spiritual traditions, somehow the core is removed.  Without nurturing our inner guidance system we can become lost in the chaos that abounds.

Usually when we are younger we may think if only… (fill in the blank) then everything will be all right.  However the state of calm, emotional balance and peace is too precious to be held hostage…by anything or anyone.

Did you know that we all actually emit light? Here is a link to read the article.  All living things do.  This light is not visible to the naked eye.  But I’m pretty sure we know when someone is  beaming or not.  Pretty sure it is a good vibe.  And just imagine growing that light within you and repelling the darkness.  It seems so cool to create a loving and harmonious world.  It is doable.  We are in this together.

 

P.S.  My introductory Homeopathy guidebook is going to be released soon!  So happy about that, please stay tuned for updates.

 

You Are a Miracle – The Odds of Human Birth

 The Preciousness of Human Life

  • As a human being, we have the greatest potential of all creatures on earth to realize the Dharma and
  • to realize the true nature  of reality and
  • to experience an ineffable, unconditional peace
  • and to discover a way of living that is in harmony with the profound truths of life

According to the Buddha, our human birth is very rare.  There is a classic story about this rarity in the Pali Canon, the ancient text recording the teachings of the Buddha.

The Buddha was speaking to a group of monks.  He said, “Monks, suppose that this great earth were totally covered with water and a man were to toss a yoke with a single hole into the water.  A wind from the West would push it East, a wind from the East would push it West, a wind from the North would push it South; a wind from the South would push it North.  And suppose a blind sea turtle were there.  It would come to the surface only once every 100 years.  Now what do you suppose the chances would be that a blind turtle, coming once to the surface every 100 years, would stick his neck into the yoke with a single hole?”

And the monks answered, “It would be very unusual, Sir, that a blind turtle coming to the surface once every hundred years would stick his neck into the yoke.”

And the Buddha replied, “And just so, it is very, very rare that one attains the human state (birth).”
