On the Threshold of Being: Existence in essence.



Today, I embark on a sacred pilgrimage inwards, towards the hidden chamber of the Ich, the core of my being. This journey, I hope, will lead me to a state of unification, a point of confluence where self and higher self embrace.

As I journey deeper, I witness a magnificent exchange of energy, a symphony of light within the very essence of my existence. Like a curious child perched on the edge of a wise gathering, I observe the subtle dance between the known self and the unknown divine.

But who is this observer that arises within me? Who is the child gazing upon the observer? This question, never contemplated before, hangs heavy in the air, a riddle whispered on the wind.

It feels like an inner monad of innocence, untouched by the world’s harsh wisdom yet separate from the ego’s worldly attachments. This presence, a facet of self, yearns for the guidance of the higher self, yet possesses a radiant wisdom of its own.

Is this the innocent child of being, residing eternally in the present moment, bathed only in love? Untainted by the world, it exists in its purest form, untouched by the grasping tendrils of the ego. Perhaps it is the soul, or perhaps simply a stroke of cosmic grace.

This essence, a phantom presence, is devoid of drama and physical encumbrances. It is a self-contained being, radiating a powerful light from the heart. Its awareness exists solely in the ‘now’, not seeking growth or knowledge, for it is already complete within itself.

This state of harmonious innocence, an embodiment of pure beingness, vibrates with a profound beauty. It is a reminder that wholeness lies within, an exquisite dance of presence and awareness, forever perfect in its present moment, existing in the essence of being.

~  A Delicate Dance: Where Logic Meets Zen ~



This morning, dawn’s gentle nudge awakened me, not just to the day, but to a recurring theme in my life: balance. It’s a captivating waltz, this interplay of logic and Zen, playing out in both my financial realm and physical being.

The financial arena, often portrayed as a chaotic jungle, surprises me with its hidden harmony. Money pirouettes, flowing in from one source, then gracefully twirling away to meet a need. But worry not, it always returns, a testament to living in sync with my values and aspirations. When my focus aligns with what truly matters, the financial dance seems to follow suit.

Beyond the realm of coin and commerce, I find myself drawn to the earth’s grounding embrace. Barefoot walks awaken a primal connection, while sun salutations energize me with the sun’s golden touch. These practices are more than mere exercise; they’re a balancing act, harmonizing my physical and emotional energies, leaving me feeling centered and anchored to the very planet beneath my feet.

As I ponder these seemingly disparate spheres, a beautiful connection emerges. Financial stability grants me the freedom to explore my physical and emotional well-being. Conversely, a balanced mind and body empower me to make sound financial decisions. It’s a captivating tango, logic and intuition intertwining to create a harmonious flow.

Suze Orman’s wisdom echoes: “Money is but a tool; its true value lies in how we wield it.” When used wisely and ethically, it becomes an instrument for crafting a life that sings in perfect harmony.

My journey towards balance continues, and with each step, I gather invaluable insights. As I remain steadfast in my values and goals, I know this dance will lead me to a life brimming with fulfillment and graceful balance.

Phoenix Rising: Chaos to Serenity, My Sanctuary Reborn

~ Phoenix Rising: Chaos to Serenity, My Sanctuary Reborn ~



The sun peeks through my window, illuminating the chaos in my sacred space. Sunlight, a symbol of new beginnings, dances on the remnants of last year’s break-in, a stark reminder of the past. A memory lingering of unwelcome  guests forcing there way into my house with ill intent.

But instead of dwelling on the calamity of yesterday,I choose to see this as an opportunity for transformation. This “controlled chaos” holds the seeds of a Feng Shui haven, a space aligned with harmony and peace, both for myself and those who enter.

Yes, there are obstacles – clutter, lingering sentimental attachments. But instead of feeling overwhelmed, I feel energized. It’s time to let go, to practice non-attachment to material possessions. Each item I declutter is a step towards inner peace and spiritual growth. This chaos is the fertile ground for transformation, a blank canvas for Feng Shui magic!

With every donation, every throwaway I am not just sending out ripples of love, but  I’m creating space for clarity, meditation, and contemplation. This space will be a sanctuary for my soul, a fertile ground where my hopes for the future can blossom. Material possessions cannot replace internal peace and growth.

This future, I envision it filled with wisdom to guide my path, courage to act with integrity, and a heart overflowing with service to humanity. I no longer feel like I’m adrift in a storm, alone and lost. Instead, I stand in the calm center of my sacred space, my world aligning with my destiny. With every action, I uplift others, offering hope and a vision for a brighter future.

The new door, symbolic and literal, welcomes visitors and invites peace. I reclaim my sacred space, inviting welcomed guests to experience hospitality and a spirit of acceptance. Here they can enter and freely receive the sacred vibrations of peaceful beings.

This is my new dawn, a day filled with enthusiasm, purpose, and the power to manifest my dreams.

Gratitude in the Flow of Life


With a deep breath, I settle into the present moment. Gratitude washes over me as I acknowledge the blessings already present in my life. This well-being, this sense of peace, is a precious gift I choose to fully appreciate without clinging to it. As with all things, this feeling too will gently shift and change, reminding me of the impermanence of existence.

The edge of uncertainty exists alongside every moment, even during times of joy. Just as a sprawling lawn borders the unknown, shadows dance beside light. Yet, I choose to focus on the light, on the welcome respite offered by this peaceful moment. My whole being radiates appreciation for what is, for where I am.

True progress cannot be achieved while clinging to good or bad situations. Each circumstance, each experience, carries the potential for self-discovery, for becoming the best version of myself. I am grateful for the present, not despite its uncertainty, but because it allows me to explore and grow.

With this newfound clarity, I set my intention for the day. This intention fuels my actions, yet I remain patient, understanding that manifestation unfolds in its own time. I release myself from the need to control the outcome, trusting that even seemingly denied desires may be steps towards a greater good.

Fighting the world is futile. Instead, I lean into it with calm confidence, seeking my inner truth. My journey is to discover and become the best version of myself, not to force anything upon myself or the world. This is my sole task, nothing more, nothing less.

With each mindful breath, I embrace the present, grateful for the journey ahead.

The Ripple Effect: Transforming Relationships Through Inner Peace


I stand as the architect of my reality, gazing upon the reflection of my inner self in the world around me. With each step, I strive to refine myself, honing my awareness of the universe’s subtle whispers reflected in my life. Currently, I sense a prevailing “strive” – a tension I may not directly engage in, but one that ripples through my being nonetheless. Family ties bind me to this dynamic, making it impossible to turn a blind eye.

Yet, I am learning to untangle myself from the emotional currents and vulnerabilities caught within this situation. My wisdom tells me I don’t need to be swept away by the tide; I can bring calmness to the storm. My support and guidance are readily available upon request, offered with love and understanding.

I recognize the inherent value of balance and harmony. While I respect the individual responsibility others hold for managing their own lives, I choose to be a pillar of support, actively weaving positive intentions into their journeys. When necessary, I step forward, not to fuel the drama, but to offer a blessing of illumination, seeking to shed light on each situation from a higher perspective.

By connecting with the observer within, I transcend the negative vortex of emotions and attachments. As I rise above, my creative spirit empowers me to act with greater wisdom and impact. It is not about controlling the external world, but mastering my own inner responses, ensuring they contribute to a more positive collective reality.
