Awakened Doing…

Awakened Doing…

The modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm. Each one represents a certain vibrational frequency of consciousness. You need to be vigilant to make sure that one of them operates whenever you are engaged in doing anything at all -  from the most simple task to the most complex. If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.
Eckhart Tolle

Dear Friends,

We often talk about focusing on being rather than doing and that is the doorway to awareness in the present. But, when we are really present we will see that there is much to be done as we enter this momentous great turning towards a more humanistic and life affirming society… I invite you to explore the areas of acceptance, enjoyment and enthusiasm as components of your awareness today.

Blessings,
michael

Doubt and Commitment

The relationship between commitment and doubt is by no means an antagonistic one. Commitment is healthiest when it is not without doubt but in spite of doubt.
Rollo May

Dear Friend,

Thank you so much for signing up for the new blog and newsletter for the Well of Light. Unfortunately we have had some major technical difficulties with computers and the launch of this project. You patience is appreciated as we work through these so that we can better serve you…

There are many times in this evolutionary work which we are co-creating that I have doubt and when I read this quote I felt I had to share it with you. It is in our sharing and our interconnection that we will realize our common dream of a world that works for all life. I am so grateful for your partnership in this endeavor.

In love and gratitude,

michael

Loving Kindness

dali lama

When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
HH the Dalai Lama:

Let’s practice loving kindness for the day and feel the joy, smell the freshness and open to the peace of receiving this most precious gift of life…

Love is its own reward

Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward

Thomas Merton

Can we love another for what they want, rather than what we want for them or think is best? What we call love is often no more than attachment. An attachment to our own ideals, a needs, a desires or something that will enhance our own egoic identification to form… Let’s just love people today, for no reason at all. Perhaps miracles will unfold before our very eyes.

Beginnings

Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.

Meister Eckhart

With this breath, can we start again newly? Can I leave the past behind me and ask, what kind of day will I create today? We get what we focus on. What am I focused on right now? What miracles will unfold today? Look for the miracles. They are all around us…

Great Blessings,

Every day is a new beginning. Treat it that way. Stay away from what might have been,
and look at what can be.

Marsha Petrie Sue

Awe and Reverence

The human venture depends absolutely on this quality of awe and reverence and joy in the Earth and all that lives and grows upon the Earth. As soon as we isolate ourselves from these currents of life and from the profound mood that these engender within us, then our basic life-satisfactions are diminished. None of our machine-made products, none of our computer-based achievements can evoke that total commitment to life.

Thomas Berry (in memory on his passing)

Living Movements

Many times we tend to live a mechanical life with our bodies that is based on mechanical movements, not on living movements. Living movement is a deep experience, felt very deeply in our body, when we feel that we are really experiencing life.

John Pierrakos

When we begin to see ourselves as energy we recognize that energy moves in patterns. Most of these patterns are unconscious and many are unhealthy learned behavior. By raising our awareness of the patterns of our day to day movements we expand our aliveness and presence. I invite you to begin to break old patterns and explore new ones in your movement today, such as drying different body parts in a new order when getting out of the shower, writing with your non-dominant hand, chewing longer and in different parts of the mouth… By including breath awareness to this process you will feel a richer and deeper experience of yourself and life itself and increase your range of choice in movement and your daily life…

Changing our story...

Change the story and you change your perception;
change perception and you change the world…

Jean Houston

Faith

“Faith is a bird that feels dawn breaking and sings while it is still dark.”
Rabindranath Tagore

Faith is the light that guides us through the darkness. It connects us with the miraculous, the mysterious and if we open our hearts to faith we are left with a deep sense of overwhelming gratitude…  It cannot be explained, but it can be intuited. It is the antidote to fear. What do you have faith in today? How will it impact your action moment throughout the day?

“Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof.”
Kahlil Gibran

Forgiveness

He who is devoid of the power to forgive, is devoid of the power to love.

~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dear Friends,

My apology for sending out 2 newsletters yesterday and for the mistake in my friend Vinn Marti’s Bio. Vinn is a brilliant teacher and the founder of Soul Motion. Please visit his inspiring site at http://www.soulmotion.com/

I think the hardest person to forgive is always my self. I invite you today to join me in the practice of forgiveness  by listening for the voice of self-criticism and using it as an opportunity to honor and be grateful for the Divine being you are… This is the road to ultimate freedom!

Great Blessings,

michael

We achieve inner health only through forgiveness – the forgiveness not only of others but also of ourselves ~ Joshua Loth Liebman
