When you take the time to draw on your listening-imagination, you will begin to hear this gentle voice at the heart of your life. It is deeper and surer than all the other voices of disappointment, unease, self-criticism and bleakness. All holiness is about learning to hear the voice of your own soul. It is always there and the more deeply you learn to listen, the greater surprises and discoveries that will unfold. To enter into the gentleness of your own soul changes the tone and quality of your life. Your life is no longer consumed by hunger for the next event, experience or achievement. You learn to come down from the treadmill and walk on the earth. You gain a new respect for yourself and others and you learn to see how wonderfully precious this one life is. You begin to see through the enchanting veils of illusion that you had taken for reality. You no longer squander yourself on things and situations that deplete your essence. You know now that your true source is not outside you. Your soul is your true source and a new energy and passion awakens in you.

There's a whole 5 session course available in this post for navigating tough times.

💓Love in the Time of Chaos

In this time of change and uncertainty, we want to share this five-part series that shares the compassionate insights of the Be Here Now Network’s teachers. They offer wisdom on how to meet the current chaos around us with love, compassion, and inner balance.

As we navigate these intense moments together, let’s lean into practices that help us stay grounded, open-hearted, and resilient.

This series is here to support anyone looking to find calm amidst the noise, respond with kindness, and hold space for peace.

Hello friends, a thought for this first day of the new year🎉💖

Every day is a New Beginning.

A new cycle begins this day, yet a new cycle begins
every day. Indeed, every moment. So if you recognise
anything on this day, recognise what it symbolises: The
miracle of the endlessly continuing Cycle of Life.

What a grand day! What a time for celebration! We
begin again today! We turn the page! And so, let go
of all that you do not wish to carry with you any further.
Any fear, any sadness, any anger, any resentment, any
disappointment, any lament...let it all go. And now,
using the specialness of this day as a springboard,
let's get on with Life🥰
(Neale Donald Walsch)

The best gift you can give yourself, and others, is the habit of attending to this moment in your life and paying attention to your actual experience.

Living moment by moment, in an attitude of thanksgiving that treasures every gift is a great practice.

Try to stop at least once every day during this Christmas season and ask yourself, “What is happening right now? What does it mean to me? How will I respond?”

Wishing you a wonderful Christmas Day and a peaceful, healthy and happy 2024🎄🎉🙏🏻💖
