sacred threads ~ who is god to you?

Posted by on Jul 28, 2009 in mindfulness, power of now, sacred threads | 0 comments Several years ago, standing alongside fellow seekers in a temple, my voice joined with other voices to sing hymns of love for Consciousness, for God, for Shiva, for Allah. . .  After some time, I felt enraptured by waves of immense bliss and infinite love.  My experience of who I am began to shift.

sacred threads ~ pronouns for god

Posted by on Jul 1, 2009 in cultivating peace, power of now, sacred threads, Uncategorized | 3 comments “I, you, he, she, we.

interwebs meet sacred threads

Posted by on May 26, 2009 in sacred threads | 5 comments For the last several years, I’ve been writing a book called Sacred Threads. It’s a weaving of sacred teachings and psychotherapy principles that form a tapestry of practical spirituality.  Mostly, I’ve been writing this book for myself.  I’ve decided to share it now on the interwebs…a bit at a time. I hope you find it useful.  If so, I hope you will share with...
