Craving he be more like me and Angry because he isn’t 2008-04-13 11:39:16 I am passionate about practicing awareness, my husband not so much. Can I live with that?

This is how it happened for me. My fear attacked me just before Christmas last year while lounging on the couch watching Greys Anatomy; the episode where a [...]
Overcoming Codependency or the Need to Control my Spouse or the Need to try to Make him Work less 2008-04-23 14:40:35 Following my steps and watching the Oprah/Tolle/New Earth broadcast has put the spotlight of my awareness on my codependent and controlling behavior and it’s killing me (in a good way). I observe myself as I gift wrap my attempts to control in words of wisdom, making it all sound pretty. Sometimes I stop, meaning I [...] Read more:Control

The Habit of Killing (little Beings such as Flies) 2008-04-25 21:20:45 Killing a fly, no big deal right? Well, at the meditation retreat I was not only in for a mind training but also encouraged to follow the Buddhist precepts of which one is saying something like, “You shall not harm any living being.” For obvious reasons: we’re all manifestations of the same life energy.
