Our egos are built with thick walls fortified by our childhood experiences, our need to fit in, our want for success, our inner judge

This is not goodbye. Today is about welcoming you home. You’ve climbed out of the cave and are atop the mountain.

By Mary Sorrells Two days before I joined this meditation group, I wrote a self-diagnosis in my journal. I declared that I had...

I let go of outcomes. An affirmation sign I have displayed on an index card all over my living space because I tend to be goal oriented.

I was raised understanding my job was to be nice above all else. That translated into forgetting about me. And to fibromyalgia.

I replenish myself by making time for spiritual connection. I integrate my inner life and my outer life. I am peaceful and at ease.

I used to beat myself up. If I messed up, I'd call myself names. I'd have deep regrets for things I didn't do. That changed with a question.

My reparenting began as I was welcomed into this world. No matter what truths were happening as a child, I redefined a core belief.

I choose acceptance over resistance. I choose to pause and listen rather than assume. I choose full responsibility for my actions.

On the other side of this pandemic, we will have changed. We'll be sadder, happier, wiser, and stronger. I ask myself three life questions.

I didn’t know my strength until I was broken open. Life dealt circumstances and I learned It takes a catastrophe to wake us up.

Covid is looking in my window. I experience a guided meditation early this morning, and tears welled up. I choose to face my fear.

Worry has weight. Worry pulls energy down. If I could put a texture on worry, it would stick to my hands like cobwebs. Worry blocks light.

Training my brain to stay in the moment is a day-by-day process. One little affirmation can change the direction of my thoughts.

I was stuck in a habit of negative thinking -- the worst thing would happen in any situation. Then I learned words have energy

It’s time we put down the fight and pick up the love. It’s time we see the good in the different.

I stand as one in my world. My truth lies within my walls. I lead by my own example. My heart pointing the way.

I know what sand feels like when I’m standing on the beach. I want to live in the beach scene. I don’t want to live in the circus.

Wisdom particles hold health, truth and love in my being. I welcome wisdom in my life, in my body and mind, in my very being.

Food is a buffer and gives me perceived peace and conformity. I belong when I eat what others eat. I’m part of the web of life.
