Summary:
This blog invites you, dear reader, to explore you unique middle way through compassion and consistency. Compassion is introduced as an inner whisper of healing, not just kindness to others but deep care for self. Consistency is reframed as devotion—a sacred rhythm of showing up, even imperfectly. Readers are given a gentle practice to check in daily with one question: 'What can I do today to feel more balanced—with devotion, not pressure?' The transformation promised is profound: shifting from striving to soulful flow. Enjoy! 🪷

Your Soul's Gentle Path: Walking with Compassion and Consistency

We’re each called to walk our own middle way. A path of balance, not perfection. A rhythm we don’t always hear, yet it pulses quietly beneath the noise of our lives.

In this second part of Your Middle Way, I want to invite you deeper into two qualities that can bring you back to center your—compassion and consistency.

Let’s begin with compassion—not the Hallmark card version, bu...

YOUR ENERGETIC CENTER OF GRAVITY

The core of your body, your belly, is a powerful place of integration. Yet, with smart minds, come busy lives. We scatter ourselves too much and so the dreaded syndrome starts to push your mind way ahead of your body. You body can’t be heard as well when your mind takes strides away from it.

SMART EMPATHIC PEOPLE ARE SUSCEPTIBLE

This condition is usually occurs when people are so smart their mind takes over and pushes their lives too fast. You can feel as if you’re learning forward, part way out of your body. Thoughts ...

Many years ago, when I was still in the process of getting used to my new level of physical sight I had a dream. 

In the dream I was in a darkened, yet, very pleasant room. I was cleaning a large mirror.

Some of the mirror’s surface was clear, some was slightly dusty. Some was smudged, almost to the point of not being able to see a reflection.

Suddenly, back outside and now looking at the mirror, I knew I had work to do. My eyes landed on the part of the mirror’s surface which was dusty. As soon as I looked at the dust, I found myself, cloth in hand, now cleaning the mirror. 

At one point in the dream, I stood back to check my progress. It didn’t seem like I was making any headway on the mirror’s dust-coated surface. 

And there it was…the reflected realization. 

The part of the mi...
