As you practice recognizing the emotions in you - just like a musician practices musical scales and an artist practices mixing paint - you can begin to use this awareness in an empowering, life-changing way. You are no longer at the whim of whatever emotion arises in you. You can determine what you feel, and when. Why is this so valuable? Because what we are feeling emotionally is a direct reflection of what we are thinking. And Continue Reading
Where Your Anger Hides – Part Two
Take a moment to reflect ... In which of these area(s) do you most often feel angry? Write whatever comes into your awareness inside of these piece(s) of your pie. Use extra sheets of paper if you need more space. Take a moment just to breathe. Relax. When you feel ready to, notice one of the entries you've written in your pie. Which of the 3 Purposes of Anger was occurring? Can you identify it? How did you express this anger? Continue Reading
Recognizing the 3 Purposes of Anger in Your Life
Take a moment to reflect on a recent situation in which you felt anger. Which of these 3 Purposes was the anger fulfilling? 1. Was the anger rising inside of you endeavoring to alert you to a boundary that had been breached? And / or to the need to create a boundary … precisely … 'there'? 2. Was the anger present inside of you endeavoring to alert you to this: that unless you erect or fortify a boundary, it is about to be breached? Was Continue Reading
Gandhi – Self-Reflection as a Way of Leading (Part 2)
In 1992, when I returned to my then-home of Vancouver, Canada following my participation in the UN Earth Summit’s Global Forum, I began meeting a quick succession of highly influential people – people who were leaders and initiators of powerful movements. One afternoon I was sitting in a quiet seniors learning centre by the sea (a beautiful heritage building), having tea with one of the founders of the Vancouver Peace March – one Continue Reading
Gandhi – Self-Reflection as a Way of Leading (Part 1)
What’s so intriguing about Gandhi is how he transformed himself. One of the most influential people of all time, he didn’t lead a nation of 400 million Indians to freedom and self-government as the man he was when he began this epic journey. He led it as the man he was committed to becoming. Gandhi’s story – and his incredible and timely / timeless example to us – is that if something isn’t working, we must become what can allow Continue Reading
Feng Shui in URLight
So … how does this relate to the creation of URLight? It’s obvious to me. Everything we do is a direct reflection of our state of consciousness. If we are murky inside – emotionally, mentally, and / or physically – everything we present to the world, and how we engage in the world, will also be murky. If we are clear inside – inspired, aligned, congruent, in harmony, in respect – how we engage with the Continue Reading
Your ‘Predominant Pulse’ – Part 2
As we begin to give the seeds of our gifts, we discover more about them. We begin to recognize our true worth, which is amazing. It is only our wounds that have had us believe otherwise. This has been the illusion, the greatest 'loss' of all Time. As we begin to know our True Selves, we develop Self respect. This alone is worth living for – the experience of forgiving ourselves for the illusory Continue Reading
Your ‘Predominant Pulse’ – Part 1
One of my key observations is this: No matter how much someone wants something, and seems to train their attention on it, if their 'Predominant Pulse' is still one of wounding, this is what they will attract. It is only when we change the nature of our 'Predominant Pulse' to our true story – which is that we are inherently good, deserving and beautiful – that we can begin to attract, allow, and receive that which we most deeply Continue Reading
