Your unconscious shadow attitudes, inescapably, become the lenses through which you look at life. Refusing to “own” a shadow tendency just makes you less conscious that it is distorting your perspective. Because inevitably, when you can’t see something in yourself, you project the quality onto someone else, either judging or admiring the quality in them. ~ Sally Kempton

Time spent alone doesn’t have to be lonely. Embrace it as a chance to connect with what’s truly essential. ~ Sally Kempton
November 17th Daily Meditation Moment
Spiritual practice will not eliminate negative emotions. Emotions are part of the palette of life, part of the way consciousness moves. Not only can’t you get rid of them, but you’d feel empty and impoverished if you did. Practice can change your relationship to emotions, so that instead of being swamped by certain feeling states, you can hold them, contain them, see into their essence, and ultimately, use emotions in the service of your liberation. ~ Sally Kempton

Meditation is an entry into the cave of the heart, the cave of the spirit. ~ Sally Kempton
September 12th Daily Meditation Moment
Many of us have awakenings. We awake to a deeper sense of our life purpose. We awaken to the self beyond the mind. We awaken to our interconnectedness with others and the planet. Whether our awakenings lead to lasting transformation depends on how much we are willing to work with the gap between our awakened experience and our daily life. Transformation is what happens when you bring your life into alignment with your glimpses of awakened states. ~ Sally Kempton
