Inner Peace

Expectations are so common to our sense of self and its well-being that we barely even realize we have them until we run into something that dashes them.

The "hard" part of this practicing of presence in the now is that our habitual mind, the false self, wants to know itself through one thought or another.

The things we put first in our life, our moment-to-moment choices in life, are a direct reflection of what we value most in that moment.

The more we believe, as we are inclined to do, that there exists something outside of us with the power to make us happy and whole, the more attached we become to these imposter ideas and those deceptive desires that weave into our hearts.

More often than most of us care to tell, we run into unwanted moments that seem to challenge the very fabric of our being. Almost anything can be the proverbial straw that breaks us: a friend's betrayal, loss of health or a loved one, unexpected financial strain. Even a shattered dream can throw us into a dark nightmare. Certainly, no one gets out of his or her bed in the morning thinking, "To...
