We are fragmented into so many different aspects. We don’t know who we really are, or what part of ourselves we should identify with or believe in. So many contradictory voices, dictates, and feelings fight for control over our minds that we find ourselves scattered everywhere in all directions, leaving nobody home. Stop then, get centered, quieten yourself and meditate. This is the only way to bring our mind home.

~ Sogyal Rinpoche

Meditation is when you sit down and do nothing. Poetry is when you sit down and do something. 

In doing something or doing nothing we are still living and loving. The moments quickly pass, so meditate and breathe and then create a life of poetry that exhales love and passion for living in each day.

Love and Peace!

By recognizing that our unconscious emotional reactions to others are reflections of our own emotional past, we begin to break the illusion that other people are making us feel these things.  That puts us in a position of strength rather than feeling like a victim of circumstances.  From there we need to heal the pain from our past so that our history of trauma does not continue to generate more suffering in our present.  To do that we need to make the unconscious emotional patterns of our psyche more conscious. 

Meditate daily to bring a permanent sense of self-awareness present in all your thoughts and behavior.  The stronger that self-awareness is, the more the light of that consciousness will penetrate all the dark recesses of your unconscious mind.  That light of consciousness is healing and non-judgmental, its background presence will remove your past conditioning and bring a sense of abiding peace.
