If I could do one thing in a day it would be to experience the act of being with each breath. It is infinitely simple yet amazingly complex. The mind in its search for the ineffable is constantly confusing us with its over activity. When it becomes quiet, when our body sensations are allowed to mingle with the mind. When mind and body truly become co-mingled, we enter Being. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. Translation by Stephen Mitchell
As we follow the path to self knowledge realizing we are enough and through acknowledging this we find our inner completeness and our true power.

As we continue to feel our feelings and unwind our issues, the sense of presence deepens. The mind relaxes and we experience an even deeper sense of peace and tranquility. If we let it, this space becomes unlimited. Enjoy the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

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
