Have you heard the story of the man who drops his keys on the ground one dark night and is frantically searching under the streetlight? When his friend asks him where he dropped them he replies, “Over there, but the light’s better here.” Notice where you’re looking for answers or solutions in familiar places just because it’s what you know. Ask your inner presence to expand your light of awareness a little brighter then…
Open your mind and prepare for delight.

If you’re in the habit of stewing over the injustice in the world, it might be useful to take a look at what’s going on in your own life. You may be distracting yourself from what needs fixing a little closer to home. Getting worked up over events that you can’t do anything about is not only fruitless, it diverts your attention from the one thing that will make the world a better place.
A balanced you.

Think of a few things you regularly worry about, like health, money or the future. Now think of several aspects of your life that you take for granted, like friendships, family or good health. Next time you find yourself worrying, refocus your attention on gratitude for the things you normally take for granted. Replace the stressful energy of fear with the healing energy of appreciation…
And experience the grace of what is.

The fast pace of modern life can distract you into forgetting that a calm equilibrium is your natural state. Even though it’s obscured by the running list of activities and obligations, it’s always there beneath the surface. Find it by closing your eyes and taking three slow, deep breaths. Focus on the air coming in and release all tension from your body when breathing out. When you become present, you find the place…
Where sanity lives.
