There is a secret about human love that is commonly overlooked: Receiving it is much more scary and threatening than giving it.

Yet spiritual realizations often remain compartmentalized, apart from everyday life, or become used as a rationale for living in an impersonal or soulless way. That is why, if we are to live our realizations and bring them into this world, we also need to work on the vessel of spirit - our embodied humanity. Soulwork is the forging of this vessel... If spiritual work brings freedom, soulwork brings integration. Both are necessary for a complete human life.

Forget about enlightenment. Sit down wherever you are. And listen to the wind singing in your veins.

The light of unconditional love awakens the dormant seed potentials of the soul, helping them ripen, blossom, and bear fruit, allowing us to bring forth the unique gifts that are ours to offer in this life.

We are not just humans learning to become buddhas, but also buddhas waking up in human form, learning to become fully human.

A soul connection not only inspires us to expand, but also forces us to confront whatever stands in the way of that expansion.

In recognizing exactly where we have been unconscious, we become more conscious. And in seeing and feeling the ways we've gone dead, we start to revive and kindle our desire to live more expansively.
