I am the student and my experiences are my teachers.
 ~ Author Unknown

Student: How should I meditate?

Master: Meditate on the center.

Student: But shouldn’t I practice a certain kind of meditation?

Master: Meditation is the focus of attention, nothing more.

 Meditate in your center, and allow your  Balance to be.

Student: Should I choose something that reminds me of The One?

Master: Is your body pleasing to you?

Student: No, not really. I mean it is, but not for meditation.

Master: Your body is a reflection of your mind, and is of The One.

 It will do you no good to focus your attention on something outside yourself,

 unless you are fully pleased with yourself. Meditate with your body.

 Begin with your breath and become aware of the Balance within you.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


I walk serenity’s path to a place of inner peace and quite solitude. Here in the stillness, I hear the voice of wisdom. Here in the stillness, I feel my spirit soar. Everybody can find strength to take just one more step.

Everybody can climb the highest mountain one step at a time. No matter our age or where we’ve been or what we’ve said and done, each sunrise is a reminder that we’ve only just begun. If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.

~ Betty Reese

Never place a period where God has placed a comma. 
 ~ Gracie Allen

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

 ~ Written by Marianne Williamson (made popular by Nelson Mandela at his inaugural speech)

An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life. A fight is going on inside me", he said to the boy. It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil, angry, envious, sorrowful, greedy, arrogant, self-pity, guilt, resentful, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego, he said. The other wolf is good, full of joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and deep faith. This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too. The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather which will win the fight.

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
~ Cherokee Saying
