So what does it mean to BE

Posted in Thought for the Week.

So what does it mean to BE?  We so often hear about Being, as Ram Das says Be Here Now, Now Be Here, Here Now Be.  So many words and really a simple thing to do.  All it requires is the willingness to feel, to unwind the seeming limitations within us and in so doing arrive at Being. It is what is there when the internal conflict dissolves.  The odd thing is most people will strive to obtain this and certainly some will achieve Being in this way.  However almost anyone who is willing to feel will find themselves effortlessly in a Being state as the blocks are unwound and the striving and yearning drops away.  The mind becomes quiet, understanding is present.  Enjoy ~Alain & Jody Herriott

I dream of things that never where

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask, why? I dream of things that never were, and ask, why not?” – Robert Kennedy

And so the mind looks and judges and stops the dream.  It holds to old ways and is afraid to let you dream beyond what is comfortable, what it is used to.  Through feeling we break this habit and move into whatever we would choose to dream.  Now we have set ourselves free and everything is possible.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Conquer the anxiety of life, breathe

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath.”–Amit Ray

So often we hear this kind of suggestion and as everyone breathes, the opportunity to use it is there for all of us.  Within it is the chance to discover sensations that lead one deeper into awareness than most would believe possible.  It is so simple when we are willing to feel the breath.  Feeling really is always safe and it will always lead us deeper into discovery. –Alain & Jody Herriott

The ocean can calm itself and so can we

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“if  the ocean can calm itself, so can you. we are both salt water mixed with air.”  —Nayyirah Waheed

Within us is a tumultuous ocean of feeling.  When we are caught in these currents of mental unrest all we see is conflict. Through feeling those feelings and allowing them to unwind we return to calmness.  This occurs naturally when we are no longer caught in our mind this is a natural state of being. —Alain & Jody Herriott

Accomplish your Dreams and be free

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.” – Anatole France

What we believe either sets us free or ties us down.  That is the nature of beliefs for as we find the boundaries of what feels possible and impossible we can allow ourselves greater and fuller freedom.  All it takes is the willingness to feel into these boundaries and we find we are again free to dream and be.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Learning to Heal

Posted in Thought for the Week.

So what does it mean to heal?  Healing is about physical well being, emotional balance and a sense of presence and balance in all that we do.  This is surprisingly easy to attain when we learn to let ourselves feel.  Feeling is more basic than the emotional gamut of the particular drama that we find ourselves in.  It is about the sensations that we call our feelings and when these are allowed to be experienced and naturally evolve as they are experienced, balance is what we get.  This now leads to greater emotional harmony and that in turn leads to greater health.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Lives to change

Posted in Thought for the Week.

Generally people want their lives to change but are afraid of how it might come about, how it might change their world.  When we allow ourselves to feel and unwind our fears about change, we realize that change is always happening.  We also realize that we will open to change in such a way that it will bring us joy.  We will have the experiences we crave through opening as opposed to pushing. In so doing life becomes balanced and satisfying.  Alain & Jody Herriott

Life and belief

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“We live in the world we made up.” —Jim Paul, Catapult: Harry and I Build a Siege Weapon

Our life is built around our beliefs and this sets the stage for what we will allow ourselves to do and what we won’t.  This means some of us will allow ourselves excellence and others of us will only allow mediocrity.  To free ourselves from the prison of mediocrity, we feel everything that seems to hold us there.  In so doing we realize we can be excellent too, all for the willingness to set ourselves free.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Feelings

Posted in Thought for the Week.

What do we do with feelings that feel out of control?   Most of us have been taught to push them aside, to bury them even though it feels wrong to do so.  We are told to rationalize and are told things like, “everyone feels bad once and a while, with time you will get over it.”  The first few times we do this it even seems to work.  But eventually we become overloaded with stuffed feelings.  To change this pattern, we can choose to let ourselves feel our feelings, so they can transform.  This begins the journey back to feeling whole, complete and at peace with ourselves.  ~Alain & Jody Herriott

Create

Posted in Thought for the Week.

“By being natural and sincere, one often can create revolutions without having sought them.” —Christian Dior

This is the nature of creating a new reality by being present and genuine.  Because feelings are what motivate us on our journey through life, people are drawn to this essential rightness.  When it feels right we allow ourselves to take a massive step forward and all else pales before it.  — Alain & Jody Herriott
