The Cup

Cyndi — Sun, 23 May 2010 20:55:03 +0000

Grab a glass of water, cup of coffee, or simmering brew of tea. Now imagine the Divine whispering this word into it: “Luck.” Allow the lucky potion to bubble within you all day.

A Blessing for the World

Cyndi — Sun, 16 May 2010 20:55:29 +0000

Live your life perfectly in tune with your higher self and your life becomes a blessing for the world. Every good thought and action goes out in waves to make this a better world. Consider that tainted energy does likewise. To make this planet a better place for all beings, animate and inanimate, known and unknown, we must each commit to living the most perfect life we can. May we all be blessed by each other!

Nourishing the Spirit

Just as we feed and exercise our physical bodies to maintain good health, it is also necessary to nourish the spirit. How can we do this? By having NEW experiences. By having adventures. By making mistakes. By having fun. By coloring outside the lines. Nearly everything you can do with your physical body has a correlation with your spirit. Don’t starve your spirit; look for the richest banquet of experience and enjoy!

Tolerance

Cyndi — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 20:48:52 +0000

JFK is quoted as saying, “Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s own beliefs.’ And indeed, tolerance is taking the time to understand another’s beliefs and actions, according the same courtesy as one accords oneself. It is the withholding … Continue reading →

A Light Heart

Cyndi — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 20:49:11 +0000

Shakespeare said, “A light heart lives long.” And what can make a heart light? Doing things for other people, volunteering, sharing the burdens of your friends and family, a balloon in the hand of a child, good news – any sort of good news, a dinner shared with loved ones – even if it is pizza and popcorn, a movie to which you look forward. Paradoxically, your own cares diminish as you share time with others.

Divine Power

Cyndi — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:49:33 +0000

Once upon a time, the Source divided its power into a nearly infinite number of buckets. To each of us, a bucket of grace, power, and abundance, to use as we wish—ideally toward furthering our spiritual mission. Have you started … Continue reading →

Good Judgement

Cyndi — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 17:01:30 +0000

As we all know, good judgement is a quality to be valued. It can guide us through the most difficult of situations with – if not confidence – at least a level head. But where did that well of good judgement come from? Poor judgement, mistakes, wrong turns; we all have a full backpack of these. Remember when you next make an error, be grateful, because your good judgement is getting more brilliant and faceted.

Living in the World as a Spiritual Being

Cyndi — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 20:48:21 +0000

As we grow spiritually, there is a temptation to renounce worldly things. But the true spiritual path is one of the everyday person who brings light to every situation. It is as important to bring light to the darkest room, as it is to the conference room and the supermarket. Each of us is a child of the Divine, and when we can recognize this in others, we have taken an important step on the path to our own divinity.

Our Stone Nature

Cyndi — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 20:50:21 +0000

“Compel yourself to wear away your stone nature
So your stone can radiate the qualities of a ruby”

This couplet is from a poem by Rumi, the profound Sufi poet. Don’t we all walk in the world shielding ourselves from view with thoughts akin to “Don’t let them see the real me.” Yet the inner essence of each of us is this ‘ruby’. Each of us that can ‘radiate the qualities of a ruby’ encourages and strengthens the rest of us to continue to work on wearing away our stone natures. Let’s all glow together!

Pull out the Arrow!

Cyndi — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:49:57 +0000

Shakyamuni the Buddha, once said, ‘If one comes across a person who has been shot by an arrow…one should focus on immediately pulling out the arrow.”

Our current culture focuses on process and therapy (from which direction did the arrow come, who fired the arrow, from what wood was it made, etc.). The most direct path is the most healing. It can be traumatic, but peripheral information can be distracting and divert the healing process. Stay on YOUR path!
