The power to repair the world is already in you. When someone blesses you, it reminds you a little – untying the knots of belief and fear and self-doubt that have separated you from your own goodness. Freeing you to bless and receive blessings from everything around you.

From the Heart of Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D.

Are you ready to be blessed and to bless others?

Daily Exercise

“This exercise requires no movement, no thinking and most of all no judgement or evaluation” After you are awake and you realize you live in a miracle, everything is inter-connected and there is always a choice, do the following: Watch a creature, a bird, an ant, a dog, person or ...

Martin Luther King, Jr.

“I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.” It is my experience ...

Age

As i began living my 74th year, years, months, hours and minutes have all become much less significant. As i focus on how i am being in this second, i find my clarity around how the world is doing sharpened considerably. How about you? ...

Crap

As in Who Gives a Crap! This is what corporate responsibility looks like: https://us.whogivesacrap.org/pages/about-us Recently i received notice that the company had donated another half a million dollars to create toilets for those 2.3 Billion who do not have one. Their products are outstanding and ecologically sound. Would you like ...

Perspective

Yesterday, a relatively powerful storm interrupted electrical power to 219,000 households in Maine. Today, some were told that it may be three days until power is restored. Globally, 1.2 Billion people have little or no access to power at all. Perhaps we might want to think from time to time ...

Fall colors

There are a million differentiated colors on display in New England in the US at this time of year! And this has been a spectacular demonstration of the beauty in our world this year! In my experience it is nothing compared to the miracle of you! ...

IN THE FACE MIRACLES

Right this second you are participating in an absolute miracle. The question is, do you experience it? If you are able to see, a collection of between 10 and 50 trillion cells are organized so well that you can see, read and understand these words. Can you "see" (pun intended) ...

Breathing

It doesn’t sound like much. Or does it. To me, each breath means I am still alive and that life itself is miraculous. What could be more practical or more magical than the experience that this second, this breath is a miracle? ...

Evil

Evil is a concept begun to allow us to act as if it were a force beyond our influence. Nothing could be further from the truth. The moment I realize every action I take is important, contributes either positively or negatively to the world, evil has no power. Whose responsibility ...

Ownership Does Not Equal Guilt

In the situations I have witnessed, there is no divine intervention. All we have is each other. We create our own problems, and it is up to us to solve them. Deliberately to remove oneself from this dialogue is a way of turning one’s back and confirms the sad proposition ...

No Exceptions

The gifts of God/Allah/Mother Nature are bestowed on every person, rich, poor, white, black, brown, red and yellow.

I wonder what gives us the notion that the rules are any different for us?

Precious Relationships

My life is blessed with deep, powerful, long lasting friendships and family. I cannot imagine my life without these spectacular relationships. Nothing needs to be said and in the saying of nothing, everything is said!

I wonder what might be so in the world if these relationships were shared by all?

Testimonials

Constant awareness of how I approach others, and how I hold them when I approach them, has been a really revelatory concept for me. In some respects, it has given words to something I had always been doing, and in others it has significantly increased my ability and willingness to do this all the time.
Erin Kilbride | Portland, ME

For me this is probably the most “radical” change in my life.
Gareth Davies | Capetown, South Africa

[This course] is one of only a few that had real life applications that helped prepare me to teach
Gina Martin | Springfield, MA

Thinking about standards boundaries, things I tolerate and things that excite me are all very powerful and things we should but likely would not do unless prompted like this!
Maureen Clancy | Portland, ME

Through this course I began “living” the beliefs. I demonstrated them more naturally and comfortably. Instead of having to remind myself, I began innately “becoming” that inspired teacher I always had in me but only called upon at certain times. I changed. I am complete in every area of my life.
Maureen Oswald | Jay, Maine

With each session, the conversation became easer and easier to grasp and experience. This was primarily resulting from the mounting proof that the conversation was real and true…it is the holistic nature of the conversation, as one conversation, that makes the process so satisfyingly effective.
Roy Chatterjee | Portland, ME

My entire world has changed and I see things a lot differently today than I did before I began this process…I’m a lot more grounded and am learning how my self-care allows me to take better care of myself so I can be a better leader to my team; lead by example.
