If we believe, as many of us do, that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, then we understand that we were spirit long before, and will be long after, our birth and death. And we know that when we meditate, pray, spend time in nature and ask for guidance, we sink into and are held and guided by the great depth that is our Source.

Here on Mothership Earth, humanity hoists our sails, while soaring with the spirited winds at our backs as yang (masculine, light) energy is rising. In our brightening luminosity, we reach the peak of sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere on the forthcoming Summer Equinox on June 20th. Aye, isn’t it the question, rather than the answer that drives us to press on? Energetically, summer is a season when Life abounds, while celebrating and nurturing our growth and prosperity. At this natural junction, specifically around the Solstice, summer is particularly a hot time to have a fire ritual to express gratitude for what is and state our intentions for manifestation on the year's horizon.

I used to believe that the world in the future would be scorched and desolate, filled with suffering, polluted soil and water, famine, war, and suffering. But I realized that this was a view that was taught to me—over many years, through many mediums, people and books. I learned to see the world this way. But I don’t anymore, because it is a false view.

Love: we hear and use this word every day. However, rarely do we think about what this word really means. Love is hard to explain and easy to recognize. My natural personality style is a director. Although my intention is never to hurt anyone, my past actions have resulted in a few strained relationships. With time and financial pressures, occasionally I gave more importance to getting the job done than to my sensitivity to others. This approach has neither served me well in my personal life nor in my professional life.

We have been inundated lately from all fronts — economic, political, environmental, astrological, and spiritual — with predictions and threats of terror and trauma. These are indeed scary times. What is at stake is our safety, our peace of mind, our centered inner selves, our very lives and the lives of all the species who share our lovely planet home. Indeed, Mother Earth, Herself, is very vulnerable right now.

It is no accident that in the new hit TV show Touch, the dramatic thriller that explores the inner connectivity of all life, the lead character’s surname is Bohm. Bohm is also the surname of quantum physicist David Bohm, who developed an interpretation of the quantum world that accounted for the connectivity of all matter and energy at a deep and hidden level of reality he called the implicate order. The world of matter and energy, our physical universe, he developed a physics that embraced a fundamental wholeness of the universe connected through the implicate order.

I believe that you can be happy no matter what your circumstances are in life, whether you’re rich or poor. Some may still think that buying stuff can make you happy, but it is short lived and usually ends up giving the opposite effect because it’s like any other addictive behavior, like alcohol where you end up needing more and more to feel good. A recipe for disastrous debt if you’re a shopaholic. Ultimately, money can’t buy true happiness, in fact research has shown that many of the happiest people live in third world countries like Bali and are lucky if they have the basic necessities to stay alive, yet they are quite content and often smiling.

It seems that everywhere we look these days, there is a new a study sharing the benefits of meditation. It’s said that a regular meditation practice can help reduce stress, lower high blood pressure, reduce anxiety, alleviate mild depression; some even say it can help us lose weight! Meditation studies have shown that just 15 minutes a day can provide both long-term physical health and psychological benefits. What the studies don’t indicate is how challenging it can actually be to meditate. One definition of meditation is “the state of non-distraction.” I find it a very rare circumstance to actually be in the “state of non-distraction.” More often, I find myself recreating a stressful situation or getting caught up in my to-do list. I suppose this is why people say that we “practice” meditation.
