December 16th, 2008 | Posted by Mushin in acceptance | alchemy | alignment | beauty | between-us | emotions | feeling | feeling field - (0 Comments)

Desire is a meeting place. And it’s a matter of timing, aligning so much that synchronicity of desiring is much more likely. Have to have your ‘eye’ on the feeling-field, and keep the connection. This is an inner gesture, an immediate expression of what you have learnt before. Like walking. Ever looked at how a … Read more →

The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and their destination. — John Schaar There is a healing quality to bitter tears. When we’re moved into the depths of our … Read more →

“Thanks to the human heart by which we live; thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears.” – William Wordsworth Last night, brushing my teeth I looked in the mirror, and what I saw made my inner critic come out.

A calm day starting out beautifully. And the interesting fact that, if a day starts like this it’s hard to focus on the more challenging feelings. So I took that as an invitation to explore – with my imagination, a major tool if used with care and not to avoid this, that or the other … Read more →

Enlightening the Passions – Experiment: Day 8

November 23rd, 2008 | Posted by Mushin in connectedness | feeling field | insecurity | jealousy | love | presencing | shyness - (17 Comments)

Even though this morning I sat with “a sense of insecurity” it was next to impossible to get to the core of it.

As I was sitting this morning, scanning the list of the ingredients in the alchemical mix that is cooking in the cauldron of my heart (yes, my heart is also a cauldron; actually it’s the whole region between my lower throat and my pelvis) I finally was ready to face one that isn’t even on … Read more →
