Each day, our new age of technology and social media are pushing us to live more open and authentically. When I do workshops and speaking engagements on Social Media, the bulk of questions are around image and privacy concerns. While we all have to be vigilant to ensure we are not putting ourselves in harm's way, today's technology is like a karmic accelerator forcing us to speak, write and live open and honestly.
All the noise we create by structuring our lives to collect things can actually be a way of building a monument of distraction. The rise of the organizing and storage industries—not to mention all the communication pathways and devices used to collect and store messages and information—speak to how distracted and fragmented we’ve become.
The shift from separation into unity consciousness is happening world wide. It is only as we are able to merge our divine and human selves into one voice that our outer authority will change. By doing our own inner work and clearing the “demons” so to speak, we give rise to our higher self and it is able now to speak clearly.
t is only when I contemplate the perfection in my life do I really appreciate it. Throughout the day, I was too busy going through my To Do List to notice.
Energy Posting by Brenda Harley Gazing out my window and wondering yet again about life and where we are headed, my eyes are drawn to the magnificent pine that sits on the edge of our property. It is well over a hundred years old and I am filled with such gratitude every time I look upon it. Its value lies in its enduring beauty, nothing more. If it were cut down and used to produce something, I’m sure that on some level it would be more valuable. Yet to me, it could not do anything more than BE to make me happy. Its beauty in my life adds value. The sun, continuing to shine down in earthy Taurus, supports this deep connection to nature. Sometimes all we can do is take care of our immediate surroundings and make decisions that respect our values. It is not about anyone else. The moon is waxing into full on the 20th and right now is about half way there in the sign of Virgo, asking us to take [...]
Energy Posting by Brenda Harley “What’s that buzz; tell me what is happening…what’s that buzz?” Listening to this live performance of Jesus Christ Superstar last weekend in Place Des Arts and taking in the full joy of the moment was almost too much. I had stumbled onto these lost lyrics during the Easter weekend. My back prevented me from saying yes to the bowling outing. Instead, I found myself forced into relaxing on a hot pack, while enjoying the musical that I had heard often in my youth, but had never actually seen. It was incredibly fortuitous to be watching it on Easter; a lovely synchronicity, as I understood fully that this outer experience is now happening on the inner planes. So what exactly does this mean? We are merging both our divine and human selves, no longer needing to die in order to live fully. This planet of ours is changing and so are we. We are in the midst of what will be known as “The Great Shift”. […]
Where two or more gather…let them do so with consciousness Version Français I have spent over 25 years working and consulting for all types of organizations – big, small, public, private, for profit and not. One thing I have found to be consistent is a general malaise in these organizations. The unbridled pursuit of profit at any cost has left them with products that are commoditized, employees at the brink of exhaustion and environments and communities close to depletion. Why is this happening? To understand, I removed myself totally from corporate life and gained a new perspective. I left my consulting practice and immersed myself into the mindfulness community. I went inwards using today’s contemplative practices to gain insight. I have been researching the most successful leaders in consciousness and sustainability looking for the best wisdom teachings. What I found surprised me and gave me hope. […]
I was extremely fortunate to have attended the Wisdom 2.0 Conference in Silicon Valley last weekend. It is the first of its kind, bringing together leaders in new media and technology, like Twitter, Google and Facebook, with spiritual and social consciousness leaders. I first heard about the conference about a month ago from a friend.
What do you think? The pendulum has swung. Some, like Michael Specter, may say too far away from science toward the intuitive approach. It is understandable, because our intuition has been silenced for so long. I, like Michael, look forward to the future and think we are in the most exciting time in history. But not only because of the incredible advancements of science, but because I see for the first time in history an opportunity to integrate knowledge, science and technology with intuition, consciousness and spiritual evolution. The Dalai Lama embodies this new direction, embracing all that science and technology have to offer with a deep, inner spiritual practice. Best selling author, Daniel H. Pink, emphasizes the need for a "Whole New Mind" to approach the future, a mind that integrates the best of the left more analytical elements with the right side intuitive brain. I believe that when we stop debating one approach over the other, and embrace a way forward that integrates both, we will see real advancements on this planet. One of the [...]
I recently asked Brenda Harley, who is a writer and energy healer in our local community, to share some of her experiences, insight and inspirations with DesigningTransformation.com readers. She immediately responded by sending me some of the pieces she has developed over the past few months. She suggested that I pick one that "calls out to me". There was no question, one certainly called out to me. The post below not only is well written, discussing a variety of important issues, but it takes place on the day my husband passed away. That date will be etched in my mind forever. Coincidently, at that time a friend had asked me to attend the Dalai Lama event, but for obvious reasons I could not. Here is Brenda's inspiring account of that event. By: Guest Blogger - Brenda Harley 4/10/09 Sitting in the Bell Centre and feeling the energy of all those who earlier had wrapped the entire building in a ribbon of shared humanity; I realized the enormity of the moment. It had all been orchestrated so [...]
