			<title>Is Your Heart-Light Dim?</title>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>How quickly do you notice when your heart-light begins to dim?</p>
<p>Over the years of working with women from many different paths, I have found a common denominator, the lack of awareness when their heart-light begins to fade. Most of us don't get it until it is almost completely out!</p>
<p>Many times we just bulldoze through those precious attempts from our heart to get our attention because we are just too busy. Most of the time it is asking for us to slow down</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Imagine yourself working hard at something, like in a relationship or a career, and you find yourself baffled by the lack of progress in the direction you wanted to go.</p>
<p>In the past when this happened, I would try to figure out a solution. I would try this and try that, but when it didn't work I was left frustrated and confused. I soon found that there was a very important message that I was missing as the discomfort continued to grow. I was trying too hard, and that was causing a disconnect from my ability to see the solution.</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The last two weeks I have been immersed in learning. It is part of a program that I committed to at the beginning of this year and as usual, when you align with the Universe, things start to happen!</p>
<p>So much has transpired and so many new friendships have been made with these wonderful and courageous women from all over the country and beyond.</p>
<p>One of the key things I realized, as I felt myself stretched and challenged, was how much fun it is to create your own career based in the</p>

			<title>The Language of Deep Wisdom</title>
			<link>http://www.listeningwithin.com/eponaridge/free-articles/13-the-language-of-deep-wisdom</link>
			<guid>http://www.listeningwithin.com/eponaridge/free-articles/13-the-language-of-deep-wisdom</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[<p>We Are Loved Beyond Compare</p>
<p>Do you know the sign of acknowledgment when the Universe has touched your soul?</p>
<p>This week I was moved almost beyond words in the Reiki Path of the Healer Retreat.</p>
<p>As one of the participants said, "This is Holy Ground."</p>
<p>It was Easter Sunday for many people, and a sacred time of rebirth. How fitting to share it in the fullness of healing and compassion.</p>
<p>It was like no other retreat, as many of them are. Even the horses seemed to connect on a whole different level.</p>
<p>Maybe they knew that these women came here to learn the precious art of Reiki Healing, and maybe they appreciated the opening to the inner spirit that each one experienced while they were here. There was clearly a reciprocal fullness of love that permeated all of the plants, trees, four-legged and two-legged Beings.</p>
<p>I have heard that Native Americans have long understood that it is a sign of completion in a sacred lesson from the Universe, when an unexpected breeze fills the space.</p>
<p>It is when you have gone deep into the learning and a breath of fresh life blows you back into the present.</p>
<p>You could have heard a pin drop in the midst of the session with Zorro this weekend.</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever felt tumultuous energy swirling around you? Maybe it wasn't even something in your life - yet you find yourself wondering if it was ever going to stop. It is a familiar feeling of being out of control and sometimes it can come in layers that build on each other, leaving you overwhelmed.</p>
<p>That is always a sign to me, some major life learning is about to happen!</p>
<p>Mercury begins retrograde today, and I have been told that this is the worst possible time to control new beginnings and</p>

<p>Her work was running a highly successful non-profit organization and she loved all of the good that they were doing for others throughout the world.</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>So what is the empowering transformation happening within so many women? What is this 'inner awakening' that we are being pulled towards?</p>
<p>Something very wondrous is happening ... For some who have learned to listen within, it feels invigorating and inspirational. You stand fully ready to embrace the YOU-you-came-here-to-be, tuning in for guidance every step of the way.</p>
<p>But for others who have not honed these skills, it can</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Lessons From Zorro</p>
<p>Sarah came to me a year ago, wanting to just relax and find a sense of rejuvenation. She led a hectic life at home with a more-than-full-time focus at work.</p>
<p>Sarah had not taken many vacations. In her mind, sitting and doing nothing was not fulfilling, and most of the time she spent her vacations checking in with work and slipping in emails to the office.</p>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Connecting with One Heart</p>
<p>Though the years, I have felt a certain uniqueness of time in my life... special moments when I felt felt the deep awareness and connection to so much more...</p>
<p>Those moments embody a kind of bliss that is hard to describe with words. They are moments when I know that life is exactly as it should be.</p>
<p>When these moments happen with horses, I have a deep sense of awareness that we are no longer separate beings - that on some level we are all one... one Source of love.</p>]]></description>
