 Photo by Eileen MacAvery Kane “…the lilacs flung their fragrance to the air” Lilacs, so fragrant and fresh at this time of year, remind us of the fleeting moments we share with nature every day. Buddhist teachings about “non-conceptual awareness” encourage us to experience the natural world without preconceptions.

Continue reading Surrounded by Love  “Kathy’s Garden,” photo by Eileen MacAvery Kane “Every tree and plant in the meadow seemed to be dancing those which average eyes would see as fixed and still.” Wide angle vision is a concept that was introduced to me by Donna Brickwood, founder of Sacred Space. It extends our vision to the most outer edges of the periphery. It is amazing how it increases your awareness of your surroundings and anchors you more firmly into the present moment. Once you begin to practice wide angle vision, another dimension opens up.

Continue reading The 3 Pillars of Practice  Artwork by Eileen MacAvery Kane Our first chakra, Muladhara, the root chakra, affects us at the level of our basic needs. Our physical safety, health, and anxiety over finances to fulfill our basic needs – food, clothing, and shelter. When we feel threatened for our safety, or any of other first chakra issues, we can strengthen ourselves by tapping into the power of our root chakra. Use this visualization exercise to strengthen your root chakra: Imagine a grounding cord that runs from your spine deep into the earth. Imagine in your mind’s eye any excessive mental energy running down your spine and dissipating through the grounding cord into earth. Imagine the grounding cord growing roots, like giant trees. Picture the roots of your grounding cord intermingling with the roots of the giant trees. Now imagine that you can draw energy up from the earth through your grounding cord. Picture the same centered strength of the trees being accessible to you.

There is beauty in nature, Beauty in the sky and in the clouds, In the mountains and in the sea. There is beauty in the creative work of man, Beauty in true friendship. And immeasurable beauty in love. All God’s blessings To delight us in this world. —Emmy Nielsen Reyes de Gaspar

When we are striving to make improvements to our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves, we take it very seriously. Remember to lighten up—not only will you breath easier, you will also experience a sense of freedom.  Artwork by Eileen MacAvery Kane We all live with fear—whether it’s a gentle murmur in the background, or a tsunami wave about to crash down upon us. Continue reading Shine a Light on Your Fears |
