Ideal Practices


 

Despite the outrages surrounding your generation, you have a deep source for peace and everything else you need.

You have come to be here at this time, because you truly have the solutions.

They are, of course, within.

You arrived with them.

Your actions are calling attention to the need for a change of direction.

Your courage and authenticity are requiring real answers and a new direction.

It is your job to show up and see the great distances between what is happening and what the ideal practices are.

Ideal practices have the advantage of belonging to everyone.

They take care of everyone.

We are all precious.

There are no favorites.

The peace of knowing we are all precious and then listening for the ways to see this practice take shape is the privilege of your generation.

It is wonderful to have you.

Work Calmly


 

I am discovering the advantages of working calmly.

I do get excited about my projects, but the ones that run deep are very, very calm.

Aligning myself with the best of who I am directs a completely different feeling from running down a list of things to do.

When I dedicate myself to the deep, meditative calming work, it sets up each element of the day in a perfectly orderly progression, even if it looks like I am running from one thing to the next.

I sometimes sit down for the meditative work after I realize I am just running around.

Then, no matter how much time I spend there, and it may be hours, the rest of the work gets done.

I appreciate the discovery of how to live and work calmly, but that is not my purpose in doing the meditative work.

My purpose is simply to spend time being.

Once I made that my priority, the rest simply got done.

Now I know to go back to just being.

Whatever comes from that works.
