Hi,

Welcome to your sacred kiss.

This kiss invites you to step out of the pressure to constantly improve,

And instead reconnect with the steady,

Transformative power of awareness and breath.

I invite you to sit back and let yourself settle into this moment as it is.

No striving,

No fixing.

Just truth and peace.

You are living in a collective soup of conditioning.

The communication all around you says,

You must be better.

Try harder.

Improve yourself.

Get to the next level.

Do better,

Feel better,

Be better.

You do not have to do any of this,

Because that communication is incorrect.

Here is what is true.

Cultivating awareness of your highest self with compassion and creating a steady relationship with the present moment cannot not lead to growth and evolution.

What prevents growth is ignorance.

What prevents the blossoming of one's life beyond chronic pain and suffering are the distractions and delusions of the mind stuff.

The stories,

The dramas,

The narratives,

The attachments.

When we rise above these layers of thought and emotion,

And then observe them,

Something opens.

We become aware that there is more going on here.

We become aware that we are more.

More than our thoughts.

More than our emotions.

More than our traumas and dramas.

And growth is the natural result of this awareness.

Wisdom blossoms.

The evolution of your life unfolds moment by moment.

Books can offer tools.

They can help shine the light on the parts of yourself you may not yet see.

But don't get attached to needing to improve.

This too is just another layer of mind.

Be where you are now.

Trust that your practice of awareness will take you where you need to go.

The constant awareness of your breath is the antidote to this collective soup of conditioning that feeds all these layers of mind.
