“The last thing that can help the non-right-minded, or the sick, is an increase in fear.” - A Course in Miracles

Most of my coronavirus conversations begin with a focus on what to do. In this writing I’d like to turn our attention instead on who we are. Essentially, how can we respond to lower fear in ourselves and others (rather than increase...

Skillfully coming into contact Slowing down, paying gentle attention to what’s here and now. We practice meeting in the delicate truth within us and between us from each moment to the next.

I just finished the 6-day long SAS Plus in Austin and would like to share one of the things that got clearer in me during that week.
