Quotes from this Download:

“Tune into the energy of wanting and trace that energy to the source of wanting. What is at the heart of what might be calling you?”

“‘What is wanted in this situation?’ You can ask others, but also sense your own way into an expression of knowing that is not grasping for personal satisfaction, or for the satisfaction of others. It is a way of inviting yourself into soft, open listening. It’s a realm of unknowing that is ripe with possibility.”

“Sometimes I ask, ‘What is an outcome that I would like to happen that I could participate in?’ This is in the realm of intention, a returning back into yourself and listening deeply, opening to a sense of clarity about what I could put my energy toward.”

“Often in satsang circles, there is a great emphasis on awakeness and awareness around the head—becoming more conscious and aware through the eyes, ears, and smells which are all in the realm of the head. Another component to consciousness is below the neck and in the body—beingness and consciousness waking itself up as ‘I Am-ness.’”

“One of the most important things in parenting is keeping a child’s connection to spirit or something greater than themselves, especially in light of the top-heavy learning of our culture.”
