Wounds Are Where Light Comes

A discussion of wounds, healing and resilience during times of crisis. Wounds can be our deepest pain and fear, yet maybe the source of our greatest strengths.

The Heart of Darkness

A brief reminder that within the dark, there is light. In the heart of darkness, fear doesn’t exist. It only exists in “your” definition of a situation. Look into the dark… for the light. Don’t look at the dark (can’t see anything anyway). But look  (investigate) the dark for the light. What does this reveal?Continue reading “The Heart of Darkness”

Into The Mystic

“Gonna leave this broke down palace…” Wherever you look, crisis of things collapsing, strange behaviors and glitches. It is time to focus inward.

In Vipassana meditation,Continue reading “The Strategy of Equanimity”

A brief discussion of the tri-part of us. We are part beast (subconscious and unaware), a victim responding to the environment with limited awareness.
