Like the Sun, the light is always shining within, but sometimes we have to pass through some dark clouds to see it.
Hang on. Don’t be fooled by the darkness; when we pass through, it’s sometimes an indication that we are moving closer to that light. We will never be left in the dark. We all push through eventually and blossom. It’s our destiny to blossom.
I know it can seem challenging, but the best way I’ve seen to pass through those dark clouds is (more…)

Better days don’t just come; they require our participation and willingness to allow them to come into our experience. It’s not blind faith or some sort of wishcraft.
Better days tomorrow are found by what I do today, in this moment. Every moment offers a fresh opportunity for these “better days,” but it’s something (more…)

Almost. This morning I realized the wreath is still hanging on the front door. Oopsie.

Today I will be looking at everything as an opportunity to grow, go deeper, shine brighter…and to bloomin’ blossom.
We don’t always see this, but within everything that happens, there’s an opportunity to grow and go deeper. When our life seems to play on repeat, we are simply getting another chance because we didn’t take it the first, second, or third time. Oopsie. (more…)

One of the most common misconceptions about meditation is that we must stop our thoughts. I’ve heard so many people proclaim that they can’t meditate because, try as they might, they can’t stop thinking. On the contrary, meditation isn’t about not thinking. The more we try to do this, the louder and crazier the thoughts will become. Why? Think of your thoughts as shadows on a wall, and when you raise your fists to fight them, what happens? They fight back. The more you fight them, the more they will fight back because they are merely shadows. So what do we do? (more…)

Why do we even want to meditate? Imagine you are in a little box floating in the infinite universe. All that you know is in this box. It’s dark and tiny, and you are searching around in this little box for answers and solutions to your problems—solutions that can only be found outside the box. Outside the box is infinite, limitless beauty, light, joy, and peace—everything you are searching for inside the box, is everywhere and all around the box.
When I began to see this, I saw that it was no wonder that all I felt was a constant disappointment; I was looking for something where it didn’t exist. I began to see that to find what I was seeking; I had to look to where it was.
Mediation is a practice that helps allow cracks in that little dark box. Light only needs the tiniest sliver to shine through. It’s what it does. It does this automatically when we allow space for it. It’s all very simple, but in a box of complexity, we have to learn simplicity and practice it. (more…)

I’ve been thinking about writing a book about meditation recently because it’s through my meditation practice that I’ve experienced the things I’ve experienced.
Then it occurred to me that I don’t have to wait to publish a book to share the things I’ve learned; I can do that now. So I’m thinking of sharing a series of posts here about my meditation practice and some of the things I’ve learned. It will cost nothing–except perhaps your misery, sadness, and loneliness. Wink.
During a recent conversation, I was reminded of a type of meditation I did many years ago. I filled many notebooks with an exercise that can help uncover hidden thoughts and beliefs; I found this to be a helpful tool to bring them out of the shadows and into the light. That being said, let’s uncover some shadow thoughts.
Keep in mind that you do not have to do anything with what’s uncovered. Please don’t try to analyze them, figure them out, or attribute them to this, that, or the other thing. (more…)

There’s a way of seeing that’s not negative or positive. It transcends both of these so that you’re able to see good everywhere through a sort of spiritual vision. It’s also not a put-your-head-in-sand way of looking at things. This has to be developed and actually experienced to understand what it’s like. (more…)
