When you completely accept this moment, when you no longer argue with what is, the compulsion to think lessens and is replaced by an alert stillness. You are fully conscious, yet the mind is not labeling this moment in any way... It is a shift from identification with form --the thought or the emotion-- to being and recognizing yourself as that which has no form -- spacious awareness.

An emotion is your body's reaction to your mind.

To be aware of little, quiet things, you need to be quiet inside. A high degree of alertness is required. Be still. Look. Listen. Be present.

The pas has no power to stop you from being present now. Only your grievance about the past can do that.

In fact, the collective energy field of presence can be very helpful when people come together. It can give you an enormous boost.

Every challenge is a disguised opportunity for salvation.

All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.
