“If anything disturbs your peace, practice having faith that divine grace is already actively at work restoring wholeness and well-being.
Then make any necessary adjustments in harmony with that insight.”

The Blessings Of Divine Community
Paula Whang-Ramos
"In a spiritual community, there is opportunity to learn and to uplift one another by example. The wisdom and divine companionship we experience with such company helps us build faith and strengthen our resolve." ~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, Living For The Sake Of The Soul, p. 87
Our active participation in spiritual community provides unique opportunities for spiritual awakening to enhance our individual practice. Our individual spiritual practice allows us to directly experience the benefits of Kriya Yoga to live from our true Self. In spiritual community, our experience and consciousness are expanded as we witness other like-minded individuals thriving through their own daily practice. We are inspired by courageous beings who skillfully use soul wisdom, and not the mind's reactivity, to navigate through challenging circumstances. In the presence of others committed to awakening in this lifetime, our own clarity, courage, inner peace, divine wisdom, and joy can also be greatly enhanced.
Additionally, a unique and powerful synergy is created as we gather together to meditate, study, and remember to reclaim and radiate the essence of our spiritual dignity in all aspects of our lives. We grow in wisdom and compassion as we realize the divine gift of being able to share this most sacred journey with our fellow travelers. Together, we are uplifted in the remembrance of our divine, eternal nature, and the oneness of all beings. And who knows? Perhaps our own presence in spiritual community may serve as an inspiration for another spiritual seeker as well.

Forever Free
Paula Whang-Ramos
"Imagine living freely without restriction, forever conscious of your essential unbounded spiritual nature, abundantly contributing to the well-being of
all. Feel this to be true now. Cultivate this joyful experience as your consciousness expands and your life more fully expresses your divine Self."
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, Living For The Sake Of The Soul, p. 46

Imagine the butterfly as she breaks free from the confines of her chrysalis and emerges into a wondrous new world of possibilities. No longer a caterpillar with limited mobility and horizons, she now flies free and unrestrained in the remembrance of her true nature. In the same way, we can shed the limitations and restrictions of the mind/body and live spontaneously in the freedom, potential, and expansiveness of our essential Self.
When we remember our true nature as unlimited beings, we welcome opportunities to live a magnificent life with divinely-inspired courage and conviction. Like the butterfly, we cooperate in our divine transformation with faith and patience. Opening to possibility, we unfurl our wings and ride the winds of grace, abiding in the unbounded love, joy, peace, and clarity of the soul.
