Take Your Power Back
I've spent much of my life seeking peace. Maybe you have too. I've explored the world's spiritual and mystic traditions: living in a Zen Buddhist monastery, meditating in ashrams and temples throughout India and the Far East, and teaching English to Tibetan Buddhist Nuns in Dharamsala. I've also worked with some of today's great teachers, including Deepak Chopra, Byron Katie, Debbie Ford, and Gary Zukav. Many say I'm blessed to have had all of these fantastic experiences, and I truly am, though I realize that the way to finding peace has nothing to do with where I've traveled, with whom I've worked, or what I've accomplished. Instead, I discovered the key to peace isn't somewhere else or in another time or place, the key to peace is hidden in plain sight, right here, right now. You see, what I had been looking for all along, was what was looking. Though the outside world may influence, delight, or stress you out, underneath all the buzz, there's a center of ever-present calm and peacefulness that you can find inside yourself, anytime. And all you have to do is pay attention to it, tune into it. As you read the words on this page, turn your attention to the one who's reading them. The one who is experiencing all things. You'll experience for a moment the presence of YOU. This aspect of you is ever-present, it is the witness to your life, it is your inner self, beyond the external measures of this world. It has been with you since the day you were born. Some people call it your soul or your spirit, but I call it your center of peace, or your soul-center. If you turn your attention inward, often, you will deeply know this peaceful part of you, become more integrated with it, and access it anytime you like. This soul-center is the source of your attention. Your attention arises from it. And your attention is powerful - full of power. The kind of attention I am talking about is non-judgmental, welcoming, loving attention. And it energizes and enlivens all things in your life. What you pay attention to and how you pay attention is how you use your power. And so it's important to be wise about it. When you take charge of what you are paying attention to, you can lead a more peaceful, fulfilling and creative life.

A Soul-Centered Moment:
Robert Adams, the late American mystic, who once lived in Sedona, said:
"True silence really means going deep within yourself to that place where nothing is happening, where you transcend time and space. You go into a brand new dimension of nothingness.
That's where all the power is. That's your real home. That's where you really belong, in deep silence where there is no good or bad, no one trying to achieve anything. Just being, pure being. . . . Silence is the ultimate reality." | |
