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

Each moment is like a flower in bud. It is has the potential to burst forth and blossom or to slowly fade almost before being born. This is akin to our hopes and dreams. When we feel our feelings we have the opportunity to bring what is submerged within us to the surface like a bud and, when allowed to be fully accessed, to blossom forth and be both beautiful and transformative. Give yourself this opportunity to enter your sensations and be reborn. ~Alain & Jody Herriott |

We often see things as obstacles and then try and change the obstacle rather than opening to the solution. When you find an issue, something that pushes or bothers you, does your mind argue? If so you are in the obstacle orientation of the issue. Instead soften and feel the opening potential of the solution, and allow things to unfold into rightness.
In a sense the problem is the solution and the sensation within both is the unfolding of the answer and the balance within it. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

What does it mean to explore our inner terrain? Within us there are sensations that are naturally present. We get used to this and as we age we expect the sensations to stay the same or we begin to expect them to be less comfortable. This may be due to previous injuries or expectations associated with old age. The art of feeling begins to give us a more conscious awareness of these attitudes and how we are holding. Feeling these sensation sand processing them can markedly change our approach to living and reframing our world. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Most of us fear change, yet without change we never evolve. Our inner feelings, or more specifically, the sensations within us are often feared too. This fear is what keeps us from being willing to change. When we allow our sensations to be felt and to evolve, we find greater and greater balance. The more we apply this approach to our lives the more we become happy and whole. ~Alain & Jody Herriott.

Each moment is unique and linked through sensation. Many think of these sensations as fraught with discord and concern. What if instead, they are the arrows pointing us toward the walls of resistance in our minds and because they are felt, they are also the entry point to change. Through feeling and allowing the sensations to change we unwind and arrive at harmony and balance. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

We are in a state of constant change. Our inherent nature is to both run towards and yet resist change. While change is always with us, we can be in a space of balance, wholeness and peace. This peace is not stagnant, it is a dynamic integration where Being is experienced. All it takes is the willingness to feel the subtle nuances within us, allow them to unfold and the rest is simply there. Being only needs the willingness to feel. ~Alain & Jody Herriott
