This morning as I sat down to meditate, I heard myself say, "I'm hungry for God." I actually felt the cravings associated with hunger - spiritual hunger that is. Once I became clear of what was happening, I became still and invited God into my cells. This approach really works for me. It is as if I give the invitation and then open up to receive.

From my perspective and spiritual training, atonement involves relaxing into the most fundamental spiritual truth that exists - that we are all one.Of course, we are all separate beings from the body's perspective, but if you go to the deepest level of who we are, you arrive at pure spirit, and at thisThe Energy Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12772014552422725554noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852818.post-34988115825007707182009-04-05T12:09:00.000-07:002009-04-05T13:06:08.782-07:00At OneReconciling spiritual truth with material appearances can be challenging. I remember early on in my spiritual journey, when I'd have a fight with my husband and try to meditate it away. It never worked.

It's not surprising really. We're not taught anything about our emotions in school, and we learn how to deal with our emotions at home by observing other family members.A lucky few come from healthy families where emotional maturity is modeled, but the rest of us have to learn from whateverThe Energy Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12772014552422725554noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852818.post-2759667462072731142009-03-16T15:04:00.000-07:002009-03-16T15:32:57.993-07:00The Yin DeficitAccording to Chinese philosophy, yin and yang are always working together to create perfect balance. Yin is about receiving. It is the dark side of the yin yang symbol - the side responsible for regeneration and renewal. Yang is the bright side, and is is responsible for giving and action.Our society values yang. We want to be productive and always moving (myself included).

In order to experience authentic peace - both within oneself and with other people and nations - one must be willing to experience the bouts of tension and discomfort that accompany transformation. Constant harmony does not exist and the idea that it should is a myth. Take weather for example.

Think about it - closer than your breath - that's pretty darn close. Since then, I've been deeply comforted by the whole idea. But it's more than him being closer than our breath, God is our breath, our cells, and the air around us.Even though we all know God is not a man with a beard living "out there" somewhere, The Energy Coachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12772014552422725554noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852818.post-75687823629996250232009-02-11T09:55:00.000-08:002009-02-11T10:21:20.592-08:00More on Will Power...There was so much good dialogue generated on the last will power post that I wanted to share some of it with you.One of our frequent visitors, Ms. Melissa shared that the tricky part about will power is using it in a way that is aligned with your higher self.

It felt like muscling through something rather than gracefully moving toward a goal.

One day in college I remember seeing a young woman walking down the street as I drove by the campus. I can't recall what she looked like, but I can tell you that she emanated inner peace.
