The infinite is always available. The vast potential in this statement is what we tap into as we open more. As we unwind our concerns and fears, this door opens a bit wider all the time. This gives us access to more than we can imagine. It is the avenue and road map to experience Being. Enjoy the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Life is often about comparisons. For example, this experience is better than that one, this food tastes better than that one and so on. The Tao te Ching also talks about this but relates to it on the level of consciousness and the art of being a balanced whole person. Number 2 of this book starts with:
“When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, others things become bad.”
“Being and non-being create each other. Difficult and easy support each other. Long and short define each other….”
To move past this active mind comparison it goes on to say:
“The master acts without doing anything….”
It goes on with this attitude that there is no need to compare; simply realize we are complete within ourselves without the need to compare and argue about most everything. If we take the time to feel our frustrations, doubts and fears and allow them to unfold in the manner that The Wonder Method is about, then balance is the result. Enjoy the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

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

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

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 |

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

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

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

The search for who we are and what we should do is often on our minds. As we feel the sensations within us, these internal conflicts begin to drop away and bit by bit we discover we are able to make good choices, learn from our experiences and finally realize we are enough, sufficient to the day and our life.
Enjoy the journey. ~Alain & Jody Herriott

We join spokes together in a wheel, but it is the center hole that makes the wagon move.
We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.
We hammer wood for a house, but it is the inner space that makes it livable.
We work with being, but non-being is what we use.
In our life we are always looking at what is around us and believe what we see there is what is useful. Yet as the quote tells us how we choose to use something can be viewed from a very different perspective. We can choose to draw from innovation, from a place of inspiration that moves well beyond the norm and many will say amazing, yet we know that living in that quiet space of non-being all possibilities exist. Enjoy ~Alain & Jody Herriott
