Your Inherent Goodness

Caverly will also be teaching a weekly class at Yoga Shala starting January 4th: FREEDOM THROUGH MEDITATION & AWARENESS PRACTICE Wednesdays, 7:00pm at the Southeast Shala 3249 SE Division Portland, OR 97202 This ongoing class will focus on meditation skills as well as practices that assist in deepening your experience of the chakra system. Specifically, we will learn how to take what we experience 'on the cushion' into our everyday lives. Each class consists of a short period of guided meditation followed by a facilitated group discussion that is interactive and personal, though there is no requirement to speak. In this class, you will learn to see how suffering is created in your life and gain tools to let those processes go. Class starts Wednesday, January 4th at 7pm. The class will be open to all and can be joined at any time. No experience required. California friends are invited to join us for our first class at Simple Human Studios in Sacramento.

Meet Lisa Kummer, creator of MyPLANet. MyPLANet is a one-of-a kind engagement calendar. It takes you beyond tracking appointments to engaging with yourself. It asks you to allow time each week for reflection and listing intentions. Because the messages, quotes, and themes in this planner are in perfect alignment with theme of 'Consciously Setting Intention for the New Year,' we'll be selling them at these workshops. If unable to attend one of those events, contact info@onehouseofpeace.org to place your order. Planners are $17.95 and if you order through One House of Peace, 40% of the proceeds go to our 'Peace in the Schools' program! More info at: www.ColorYourPath.com

There will come a day when you fully receive the gift of your own goodness. When you will be overcome with the unconditional love that surrounds you. When the awareness of your inherent goodness will sweep you out of the misery of all the conditioned mind threatens you with. Awareness Practices teaches us how to open ourselves to such an experience. It opens our arms to the embrace.
