We approach each day

Posted in Thought for the Week.

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

When we feel

Posted in Thought for the Week.

When we feel at the sensation level it is like we are connecting to our origins.  It is a quiet peaceful way to live.  Every observed limitation then becomes the road to balance. When we stay at the sensation level the “drama” drops away and being is the result.  Enjoy.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

The Tao is like a well

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“The Tao is like a well used but never used up, It is like the eternal void: filled with infinite possibilities.” The Tao te Ching translation by Stephen Mitchell

As we reconnect to our feelings and unwind our fears, we realize who we are and are again filled with infinite possibility.  Alain & Jody Herriott

When you seek a cause you have already created a result

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“When you seek a cause you have already created a result.”  This is such a lovely phrase.  The very act of doing anything puts into motion a whole series of events and any expectation within that creates Need.  That is the nature of all Maya.  That is because if we seek we are in desire.  This action causes expectation and that leads to tension.  If we choose to feel our feeling within any issue, then we unfold and balance and openness is the result.  We end up in harmony and there is nothing that needs to be done as we are simply there.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott (quote from Gravity Dreams by L.E. Modesitt, Jr.)

Today is a beautiful day

Posted in Thought for the Week.

Today is a beautiful day, not a surprise and not headline worthy.  We can “judge” the qualities of its beauty and in so doing create tension that some might call excitement and others might call uneasiness. That is the nature of judging. It feeds the existence of drama and draws us in so that we forget that it is still a beautiful day.  Can you coax your mind from the need to perpetuate drama?  Are you open to experiencing “you” for the sheer joy of letting yourself unfold?  This evolves to living a life of open balance and pleasant, ever-evolving being.  Enjoy.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

How do we deal with a world defined by drama

Posted in Thought for the Week.

How do we deal with a world that is defined by drama, in effect a land ruled by upset?  We feel ourselves and thus live a life of being vs doing.  For us what matters is the feeling within ourselves that the response produces; everything else is drama. And we use that feeling as the corridor to travel down, which takes us out of the drama and sets us free.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Every experience in our day has sensation

Posted in Thought for the Week.

As every experience in our day has sensation in it, there is always an opportunity to open. And as tension is often present just below the surface and is subliminally suppressed it is a golden opportunity to reawaken to ease.  Taking a few moments to unwind, through feeling our baseline feelings, gives us this opportunity to again experience ease in our day.  Take the time, feel, it is simply fabulous to be us.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

We are taught from an early age to achieve

Posted in Thought for the Week.

We are taught from an early age to achieve, to push, to beat others.  This is probably the #1 thing in our way in order to know ourselves.  All the striving takes us out of the moment and places us firmly in the mind, separated from our essential self. People believe that striving is necessary in order to achieve our goals.  This simply isn’t true. Instead we find harmony is born, which makes everything possible.  It is easy enough to create balance in our lives; all we need to do is be willing to feel the sensations within us. T  his will change our focus from pushing to opening and the rest simply unfolds.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott
