Welcome...

Come meander with me on the pathless path of the Heart
in these anecdotal,
sometimes inspiring, sometimes personal meanderings of the Heart's opening in the every-day-ness of life...

The Invisible Circle - John O'Donohue and more...


“There is a resonant heart in the depth of silence.
When you true heart speaks,
the echo will return to assure you
that every moment of your presence
happens in the shelter of the
invisible circle…”

“You belong within a great embrace
that urges you to have the courage
to honor the immensity that sleeps
in your heart.

When you learn to listen to and trust
the wisdom of your longing,
you will awaken to the invitation
of grace…
…and become aware of the
presence within and around you…”

‘The invisible remains the great background…”


John O’Donohoe
Quotes from Eternal Echoes

~

“You’re always standing in the middle of a sacred circle…
There is always a space around us called gentleness…
Allow yourself to experience how large
and fluid
and full of color and energy
that space is.

That space is our circle.

“Everyone who walks up to you has entered that sacred space,
and it is not an accident.
Whatever comes into the space
is there to teach you what you need to know.”

”Life’s work is to wake up;
to let the things (people) that enter
that circle wake us up.

The only way to do this
is to be open,
and
curious…”


Pema Chodron
Quotes from The Wisdom of No Escape

~

“Truth is the perfect circle.
Its center is everywhere;
its circumference
stretches into infinite space…”

We’ve all been touched by the sacred;
a sense of cosmic divine love,
and feel as though
we have come home.”

“Awareness is the essential ingredient.”


Surya Das
Quotes From Awakening to the Sacred

~

“Pain is a moment of grace
because we surrender
into the deep space
around us
that is alive
with consciousness,
and fall into the arms
of infinite Grace.”

I received the following musci video from Sukipoet recently.
It is a beautiful Blessing Chant that I wanted to share here.

Thank you Suki!

  1. There's a sense of contentedness in that beautiful, lush pink vortex, Christine. I appreciated the sweetness it tells... and can see how you create that one while listening to those great sounds. Amazing words to inspire a new week...thank you! I'm especially loving this great minder from John O'Donohoe, "“You belong within a great embrace
    that urges you to have the courage to honor the immensity that sleeps in your heart." Happy Day, my friend ((LOVE & HUGS))

  2. Ah, yes, the longtime sun song. We sing that at the end of each Kundalini yoga class. It is such a beautiful blessing to send into the world, and into our own hearts.

    1. Oooo Yes! I had actually not heard it before, so I am delighting in its music and message. My husband put it on an MP3 player and looped it so I could listen to it over and over again. It is a wonderful blessing, and touched my heart deeply. And blessings to you!

    1. Hey Ed :) Yes, it is! Can hardly wait to see what you write to it! This should be interesting :) I haven't been over in a while, but I just popped over to check to see what I've been missing... Like the one about the balls under the sea (?) made me laugh!

  4. So glad you are enjoying the chant. I too love the idea of an embrace always surrounding me. I wish I could feel it more often or remember more often. love the other quotes too. Pema is one of my favorites.
