Immense Ocean of Pure Awareness Picture taken on a beach in Maui     ”As long as we imagine ourselves to be separate personalities, one quite apart from another, we cannot grasp reality which is essentially impersonal.  First we must know ourselves as witnesses only, dimensionless and timeless centers of observation, and then realize that immense ocean of pure awareness, which is both mind and matter and beyond both.”   From "I AM THAT"  Talks with Sri Nisargadatte Maharaj - page 205.     Surrender the thinker into the being-ness of this moment and allow the nature of consciousness to reveal that which is real.   Lisa

The Cost of Sleeping Our stories are where we go to sleep.   Watch and be attentive to when a story starts to roll, take shape, and have apparent significance. “You must learn the cost of sleeping and refuse to pay it.   Only then will you awaken.”   from: A  Course in Miracles (chapter 12, Vision of Christ, paragraph #5)    “Insistence means investment, and what you invest in is always related to your notion of salvation.” from: A Course in miracles (chapter 12, Vision of Christ, paragraph #3) Our stories we practice again and again create the belief (and illusions) that what we see and feel is real and defines us. Stories are stories, and are only temporary veils on reality.   Drop the stories for one moment and recognize what is always here. HERE/NOW is the place of true meeting of Self, where stories are suspended and truth is revealed.

Causeless Wisdom “When you are not caught up in your story, there is naturally this causeless peace, benevolence, and wisdom that allows you to discriminate between what’s true and what’s not true. This causeless wisdom is not in your mind, it’s not a product of thought.”   Adyashanti Our true nature is always here, simply our “story” is covering it up.  Watch today who the watcher is.   Can you find it?  Who is seeing, tasting, thinking etc… Don’t replace with another concept... it is here now beyond the thinking.     Can you tract the watcher, can you get behind it?  This inquiry is a doorway into recognizing and having a direct experience of Self.    Lisa

Thought On Living From Essence
Versus Living From Concepts
...from LISA

ssence is pristine and timeless.  Like the fragrance of a flower, it cannot be found, only experienced.  When we stop searching in our lives and quiet the mind, we have an opportunity  to be “Presence”...our  true nature. As we become more established in the moment, or the Now, a profound shift in consciousness is set in motion.  We begin living our life spontaneously without reflection of the past or projection into the future. A magical and beautiful unfolding takes place.

 Most of us are taught to live in a perpetual state of concepts or ideas that create illusion. With concepts we impose history on the now, like a movie being projected on a screen …thereby creating an illusion of identity or existence.  Our True Self is simply presence which is open and available to all possibilities.

By allowing things to be as they are , we become attuned to  what is, and we are awakened in the moment …in the moment all is Self... a conscious field for creation that is based and inspired in the now.  With an open heart and a still mind, our essence is reflected through everything before us

As separation is dissolved through total inclusion , we no longer live in the fearful state designed by our concepts.  We live a life that is spontaneous authentic, and real.

y deepest love is for the planet Mother Earth.  I have spent many years refining my own energy fields by slowing down and listening to the  frequencies of universal truth...a process of evolution, transmutation and liberation. My life has been a series of multidimensional experiences.  In the beginning any number of energies could enter my system, often creating unrest and confusion.  Now, I have a choice in the matter.

Through this journey of self discovery my purpose has become clear; to be a vehicle in which to ground the universal energies of the cosmos within myself and to facilitate this process with others.  I now feel myself to be a link between the cosmos and the Earth, which I believe is "bridged" through the body - mind connection.  

The foundation of my work is allowing.  Allowing pleasure and intention to guide me through an alchemical process which brings about integration and cohesion, creating a more unified system in which to become fully present, out of separation and into essence.  

What is “Bridging”?

Bridging is a process which begins by focusing the mind in the body; placing our attention, inward.
By essentially diving into the body's fluid system through very slow movement, sound and breath, we begin to reconnect to our essence. By focusing the mind inward and allowing the body's own pleasure to guide us, we tune into a much slower moving, grounded vibration of ourselves...our Source. Being grounded in the moment allows the body's own innate wisdom to reveal itself.  In allowing this connection between the body, the mind and the pleasure of spirit, our listening skills become refined and  we create a connection or “bridge” of divine trust and communion with the cosmos. In this bridging, there is a quickening of sorts.  But in reality this quickening is actually a slowing down... where the light and information of the cosmos is received and embodied. When the mind and the body meet in this way,  we begin to transmute our history....a resolving and dissolving of the apparent reality of separation.  

When we are being present in the moment, through mind - body connection, we can access our unlimited potential.

I am sincerely grateful for my mother Cynthia's love and support throughout my lifetime.  Her dedication to the truth and her unending positive outlook has truly been an inspiration.   I am excited about co-creating workshops that bring together our true gifts.
