As we approach each day we are usually thinking about what needs to be done and how to go about it, who to contact and the rest of what we call accomplishing the day.What if instead we gently orient from the inside, feeling our sensations, and choose to use this art of presence to accompany us throughout the day.We would still get all the same things done and likely more.The internal dialogue will be greatly reduced or simply gone.The need to achieve will instead become more of a dance of “being” from moment to moment in simple exchanges of balance and wholeness.We invite you to dance with us in the ever evolving game of being. ~~Alain & Jody Herriott
As the year winds to its end,many of us look to the future for things to get better or old painful memories to be forgotten.Yet there is always something within us that still carries the old fears .That is why it is valuable to feel our sensations and allow them to unfold.Be willing to feel; it is safe and it leads us back to balance and wholeness.Happy New Year everyone.~Alain & Jody Herriott
Have you noticed the beauty in the silence? The mind isn’t usually comfortable with it. It wants constant feedback from itself. The mind believes that all of it is real, yet it is only the box that it has been playing in. As the feelings within us are allowed to be experienced, then the silence many only experience outside of themselves, becomes the new normal. Balance, the exquisite harmony of the integration of body and mind. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
As we evolve on the path of self awareness our experiences change. The softness within expands, and the sense of vastness as a daily experience in life appears to as well. Our awarenesses vary; sometimes just occurring naturally, sometimes affected by how we choose to focus our attention.Enjoy the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
The willingness to feel may seem odd. After all aren’t we feeling all the time? Most of us are actually judging our feelings, naming things as good or bad and then living in reaction to that experience. Most of the time everything feels like turmoil instead of harmony. That’s why we need to feel our feelings at the sensation level. Letting the sensations arise and allowing them to change through a gentle interface can lead us to greater balance and harmony.
When the mind is quiet enough to allow a sense of emptiness to exist, motion fills the vacuum. We are, by default, filled with this subtle movement, a gentle hum of vibration. It is always present within us and its presence can be used in any way we want. Enjoy the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

As we continue down the rabbit hole of self-discovery it is so amazing to find that within us all is an extreme quiet, and within that is a sense of balance the defies explanation. The Tao te Ching says you can’t know it but you can be it. Suffice to say we agree. Feeling at the sensation level will take you there if you only choose to begin the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
