The one who wants to be free is incapable of letting go. But eventually, as the space of awareness grows, it loses its power to control. So as you’re able now, rest in awareness.

Awakening is when you’re just here. Nothing coming or going. Everything is new, everything is fresh. When all our filters drop away and there’s just this presence, we can come to a deeper, centered alignment in our being. And when you feel that presence emerging, that’s what you want to give your attention to. Words […]
It’s in times of darkness that we most need the light. That’s when we’re really challenged to either run and hide and avoid, or face what’s right here. So thank you for showing up for yourself. As hard as it is right now, to cultivate consciousness is to drop knowing; to drop, at least for […]
“Have you found out yet what a relief it is to not think? It becomes effortless as you learn to relax into openness. It feels nurturing and comforting and healing.” When you’re no longer caught in meaning, or in trying to orchestrate or manage your experience, then you’re just here.

The draw to become spiritually free is often just have a little more joy, a little more enjoyment, a little less angst. Can you find that moment, even right now, where you’re not seeking, not trying, not resisting? Can you let go, just for a moment? It feels good, doesn’t it? Recorded 3/7/2016 in San […]

Every moment is the beginning of the journey. When you wake up, there is not endpoint called “enlightenment”. There’s just this closeness, this intimacy of connection. No one to defend.
