Hello my beautifuls:

At this time of the year it is important to deliberately raise our vibrations. It helps to look at Winter as an opportunity for reflection and renewal.  With this intention at heart I want to share with you this beautiful piece of writing by  Phillip Moffitt .

One of the beautiful things about the early twilight at this time of year, as it fades into the dark of the long nights, is that you can just surrender yourself to it. Allow the twilight to remind you that it is a time of consideration and renewal. Know full well that in this world the darkness and the light are one. There is no new dawn without the night; their seeming separateness disguises a unity that reflects the unity of life, an unfathomable dance of opposites. This paradox is the very essence of what it is to be alive—joy and pain, sickness and health, light and dark, wonder and fear.

You are only here now, in this moment as the light fades, the night settles. Be alive to this moment. It is all you have, the only time when thought and action can occur for the benefit of yourself and those you love.

May your inner and outer life be of balance and harmony. May the darkness be your light. May your life be peaceful, but not to the point of lethargy. May the season’s ending be a new beginning.

Phillip Moffitt began studying raja meditation in 1972 and vipassana meditation in 1983. Phillip is the co-author for The Power to Heal and the founder of the Life Balance Institute.

Author of the ‘Powerful Beyond Measure’ quote used by Nelson Mandela- Marianne is one of the most respected spiritual teachers. It was certainly an experience and a fantastic opportunity to attend her seminar in Dublin last weekend. What impressed me most was that this tiny, delicate  lady was so strong and powerful and with a ‘no nonsense’ approach to her teachings which was refreshing.

The talk was certainly challenging and mostly based in her interpretation of the Course of Miracles. My brain and soul were absorbing every bit of it. It was interesting to hear her views within the larger context of global healing but on a ‘micro level ‘ I am sure a lot of healing went on in that room last Saturday as more than hundred people were there ! 

This famous quote opened my eyes at a time when it was crucial to start living my full potential and I am sure it has helped many more people to do the same . Enjoy.

 ’Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.’
