      WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN to pray without ceasing? Does it mean we chant at the wailing wall in Jerusalem? Or is it more like the meditative murmurs of a cloistered nun? I used to think that was the picture of devoted prayer. Today, it looks like cons

All of us have within us the ability to reclaim this wonderful, miraculous state of being. Our one true nature. A life lived with effortless ease, lightheartedness and trust. Trust that everything we need is readily available to us in every moment. But it takes courage
