So often we hear this, “we need to be more grounded”. If we take a moment and simply experience the sensation the words create within us, we begin to link to the sensation that makes us doubt that we are grounded. As we ease ever so gently into this sensation we link to the wholeness of the Earth as well as our relationship with it. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

All the things that make your mind go into overactivity show you where your resistance is. This is what we then process — the resistance. Some people call them fears, or things that make you doubt yourself or others. They are simply opportunities to process. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

The Tao te Ching number 10 says: “Can you coax your mind from its wanderings and keep to the original oneness?” When our mind is quiet we are at ease, life flows in a natural rhythm. Experiencing our body sensations allows this to naturally flow through us and we find that Being is what is there. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Notice the nature of your breathing with Wonder. Is it pressing on you or is it soft and free? Yes your attention is still on the even flow of self, yet the breathing is simply there, it does not need to be pressed against nor does it need to add any pressure to work for you. Its purpose is to allow sensation to exist in communion with it. Breathe and Be. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Every difficulty is a gateway to resolution. The act of feeling and allowing those feelings to unwind is the beginning of becoming us. This unwinding is the entry to Being, for as each issue is felt and unwound what is left is peace and balance. Enjoy! ~Alain & Jody Herriott |

Discovery of who we are is an ongoing process. The common desire is to name what we find. Instead, just experience it and allow it to change. We are, and that is enough. Enjoy the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

In our day to day lives we are often caught in the drama of the season– who to visit, what presents to get or even who should we avoid. All these thoughts point out how the mind gets over zealous about these dramas. Take some time, feel the sensations and allow them to unfold and return you to a place of balance and harmony; really this is a whole new way to approach life. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

In number eleven of the Tao te Ching the last line says: “We work with being, but non-being is what we use.” Realize we each come from this special place of potential; it is infinite in variety and all we need to do is let it lead us in our lives. It will carry us like a benevolent parent, to a beautiful creation that arises all around us. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

What is Maya? It is considered to be the world as illusion, or the fact that everything is always changing. Another definition is illusion of the senses, meaning our senses tell us one thing but things may actually be very different around us because our senses can easily be fooled. To help bring our senses into greater alignment with our world we have the option to feel our inner sensations. Through the act of feeling, mind and body become integrated and we begin to realize our full potential. The more we do this action of feeling, the more deeply we become present. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

We are always talking about feeling. Of course everyone feels. Some people assign more value to their feelings while others push them away. We all realize that we are feeling beings and when the feelings are pushed away often conflict arises within us. Take the time to experience the sensations within your feelings. Allow them to arise within you and travel through your body. In this way the mind begins to get the feedback that the body naturally produces to complete itself, this is the beginning of truly Being. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
