Don’t we all want to be free from the limiting patterns of ego so that we can abide in the natural great peace and love at our essence and to live from there as we move through the world?

Grace is the direct experience of Divine presence coming alive from within you. When this occurs, you feel connected to the Source of real love, clarity, peace, strength, and joy. You recognize that these qualities are inherently part of who you really are and that they are ultimately independent of external circumstances.

We all want to stretch out in our consciousness, to allow expansion to happen so that we are not so boxed in by our conditioning and by our ego with its judgmental chatter.

Sometimes when what I am seeing is more heart-breaking than I feel I can bear, I turn into mantras – living streams of Grace that contain the love and spiritual support of all the beings throughout the ages who have turned into them to find and radiate peace.

The primordial fire transmutes the dense log of our consciousness back into a pure flame of strength, courage, and capacity as we learn to stay present and not leave our direct experience. When we do not pick up a strategy or reify a story in our mind, we have the capacity to practice with our reactive energies of
frustration, irritation, anger, and outrage.

It’s pretty obvious that for something beautiful to be born in and amidst the intensity of our times it needs and wants to be grounded in a consciousness that is both unified and full of loving-kindness.
