Meet Your Witness

Sit comfortably and breathe deeply. Allow the breath to gently fill you from the depths of the lower abdomen and up to the collar bone. Take three deep breaths and then watch as the breath returns to its relaxed state. Reality is taking place now, you are just not aware of it. We are so conditioned with responses to everything that our inner voice gets squashed in the mix. This witness sees everything though. Which nostril are you breathing out of?… Continue

Love Arrives - A Poem by Maya Angelou

Love Arrives

Love arrives, And in its train come ecstasies, Old memories of pleasure, Ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, Love strikes away the chains of fear, From our souls. We are weaned from our timidity, In the flush of love's light, We dare be brave, And suddenly we see, That love costs all we are, And will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free. - Maya Angelou, from Touched By An… Continue

Spring Cherries - A Poem

Spring Cherries

White Cherries are blooming, Wild birds are dancing, Green grass is shining, I ask them why they are so merry, They say, Come outside brother, Break the shackles of dead old habits, The tiresome chambers of cubicles, And empty hopes of vanity fairs, For spring has come, And time has come to shine and smile. -Bijay Raut, Spring… Continue

Review of the Day

Every night, before falling asleep, review the events of the day. Start with the first thing you remember and then continue as if you were watching a movie starring you. Try to remember everything. For instance, you may remember the alarm going off and you turning it off, pulling down the blanket and swinging your legs over the side of the bed to get up. Don't simply rehash how you usually go through your life's routine but rather note each nuance. An… Continue

The Untapped Source of Power that Lies Within - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
