awareness – A Twelvemonth of Self Love

Living Guidance

This year my husband and I made a vow to invite spaciousness into our days and weeks (minding our schedule, daily meditation, listening to our own desires). Last year was so full, so very intense that we all but crawled into 2016. We declared January is for napping. As we moved back into our busy days and weeks I began to feel concern that we were going down the road of busy and exhaustion once...

11. Day 15: A Mighty Peace

Eva Lisle — Sun, 15 Feb 2015 13:17:26 +0000

I read today these known words in a book I randomly picked up off my bookshelf: “If thou canst but believe; all things are possible to him who believes.” It is the crux of opening up to success of any kind. And it bloody annoys me. It stirs up in me anger, hurt and shame because I again wonder, “Why and how could I have forgotten who and what I am?” This is what is being forgiven in my extending...

11. Day 12: Awareness By-The-Measure

Eva Lisle — Thu, 12 Feb 2015 13:05:59 +0000

I finally came across the best reason I have ever heard for measuring goals. I seem to be one of those people who equate measuring with judging. It might have stemmed from always being the last person picked for the team for athletic pursuits and the first person picked to lead an academic squad or entertainment committee. Measuring, in my mind, must inevitably lead to judging something better or...

5. Day 29: Do You Have EVERY DAY Awareness?

Eva Lisle — Fri, 29 Aug 2014 12:12:57 +0000

One thing I have noticed in my extending love to my old fear of EVERY DAY is that I have strengthened my awareness of my awareness. I know that sounds like double talk but I believe I actually am and have Awareness all the time. It might even be what I call Holy Spirit or at least it is how I connect to Holy Spirit (or Consciousness or the Universe or Divine MInd). In strengthening my awareness of...

5. Day 20: Honesty Is The Hot Seat

Eva Lisle — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 12:04:31 +0000

I have a bone to pick with honesty. Though it is lauded as a very helpful quality it completely alludes me as an avenue of peace. At least in the short term. I had an incident happen recently where I was asked a very simple question which immediately split me into two thoughts: 1) what I want to do & 2) what I think I should do. My dishonest answer was inevitable because I was seeing with double...

5. Day 9: You Are Love-Able EVERY DAY

Eva Lisle — Sat, 09 Aug 2014 12:01:12 +0000

It feels like I have barely had time to look directly at my fear of EVERY DAY. I have been walking every day (to be honest I did miss one day due to traveling but let the joy of letting go allow that to be exactly perfect sans guilt of any kind). I feel something important is creeping into my periphery, I can feel it’s presence but can’t quite see it. Me: What would you like to tell me about EVERY...

2. Day 21: How Do You Relate To Your Thoughts?

Eva Lisle — Wed, 21 May 2014 12:40:35 +0000

I am struggling to extend love to depression. It feels like depression is anti-gravity and deflects all attempts at joining or welcome. Perhaps the energy of depression is non-attractive? Is it actually repelling? It feels more like zero gravity or exactly center on the spectrum of gravity. Is this stillness??? This is interesting. Stillness is that quality of love that simply abides quietly.

2. Day 9: Unbolting the Door

Eva Lisle — Fri, 09 May 2014 05:00:04 +0000

I am finding trouble accessing the feelings of fear I have for depression. Somehow just (!) being willing to meet and greet something that has caused me grief, confusion, anger, loneliness and silence is lessening all these feelings. I feel almost cheerful, hopeful even, in greeting and welcoming depression. This makes no sense. Me: How can I extend love to a fear if I am not feeling it in the...
