February 8, 2015 a project of ServiceSpace Our heart knows what our mind has forgotten -- it knows the sacred that is within all that exists, and through a depth of feeling we can once again experience this connection, this belonging. - Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee - Awakening The Wisdom Of The Heart What does it mean to live from the heart? According to Dena Merriam, founding member of the Contemplative Alliance, it means living with a fuller appreciation of what it means to be a human being on this earth. The wisdom of the heart shows us our connection to the whole. If we move from a consciousness of just thinking about ourselves first, to one of the well-being of the whole, things will evolve naturally into a much more caring, loving, and sustainable society. Listen to Dena and other leaders from different spiritual practices share their thoughts on how we can live from the heart. { read more } Be The Change Carve out 15 minutes of quiet time for yourself each day, whether it is in meditation, taking a walk, or sitting with a cup of tea.

February 6, 2015 a project of ServiceSpace To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float. - Alan Watts - The Gifts of Hibernation "So hibernation is a threefold time. It is a time for retreat and replenishment... a time for our wordless philosophy to finally be born...a time for our hidden destiny to whisper in our heart, You're not forgotten. I'm still here. We're in this together." For all of us who feel swept up in the buzz of achieving rather than being, Andreana A. Lefton's sincere reflection on rest and integration is a treasure trove of welcome wisdom. { read more } Be The Change The first chance you get to choose between doing more or resting, choose the latter, and just be.

February 5, 2015 a project of ServiceSpace If you want happiness for an hour -- take a nap. If you want happiness for a day -- go fishing. If you want happiness for a year -- inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime -- help someone else. - Chinese Proverb - Why Happiness Is The Wrong Pursuit "On some abstract level, we know that money and other outward signs of success won't ultimately make us happy -- perhaps because we know wealthy or famous or powerful people who are deeply unhappy -- but on another level, we don't really believe it ... or at least we don't believe it applies to us. Why do we experience such a disconnect between what we know to be true in the abstract and what we believe is true for us?" Christine Carter thinks a big part of the answer lies in our flawed pursuit of happiness.
