Awakening is about experiencing your true nature and experiencing life directly—

not through a story, not through an old belief system, but directly,

before your mind tells you anything about it.

finding the courage to respond well….

inquiry for today~ whisper the truth to your dreams…..

maybe you can know me, too

The most beautiful quality of all in a human being, in my humble opinion?

The ability to listen deeply.

To listen from Presence. From stillness.

To listen without trying to fix someone, or change them, or ‘save’ them.

The ability to allow another to be exactly as they are.

Not giving unsolicited advice.

Not lecturing them about the latest psychological research or the ‘most true’ spiritual teaching.

Not trying to mold them, manipulate them into matching a concept of who they ‘should’ be.

Not projecting your own trauma – or traumatic answers – all over them.

Just listening. Listening with an open mind and an open heart and a receptive nervous system.

Allowing them to breathe, to express, to weep, to question, to be completely unique,

to expand into the space, to discover their own truth.
