May 29, 2014 being in the moment 18 mile meditative run,”Underneath our ordinary lives, underneath all the talking we do, all the moving we do, all the thoughts in our minds, there is a fundamental groundlessness. It is there bubbling along all the time. We experience it as restlessness and edginess. We experience it as fear. It motivates passion, aggression, ignorance, jealousy, and pride, but we never get down to the essence of it.”

May 27, 2014 inner strength 18-mile meditative run,"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. You are playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. In addition, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

May 26, 2014 getting back up 18 mile meditative run,”When you fail, do you find it hard to get back up and try again? If so, you are completely normal. Many people use failure as an excuse to give up. It is important to understand that failure is a part of the growth process. How many times does a small child fall over before he finally stands and eventually walks? The number of falls he encounters is countless, but it does not stop him from trying! Unlike a child learning to walk, most of us lose that same ambition to keep trying until we succeed. The next time you are defeated, think about it as part of a process. Get up and try repeatedly until you move forward. “

May 16, 2014 believe in yourself 17-mile meditative run,“You drank acid, and it turned a vitality drink in your stomach. You had an accident, and you find yourself sleeping comfortably on your sofa. Robbers shot you, and the bullets became a basking fire on your skin. Your enemy cursed you, and you became a president next year. You were headstrong and rude, and then suddenly, you find yourself very humble and compassionate. Don't think all these things are magic, you're not under the possession of the world nor its people, but Supernatural being is the power behind your metamorphosis.”

May 15, 2014 inner wisdom 21 mile meditative run,”When we learn to honor the wisdom in our heart, then we act from the core of our being. We experience it in moments when our needs and worries quietly dissolve and confusion or pain no longer dominating. Tears may spontaneously arise and there is a sensation of great warmth and peace. It is the letting-go of fear and the need to control that needs paying attention too. In the end, when it has done properly everything always work out just fine. All we have to do is just believe and learn the heart of being in the moment.”

May 10, 2014 inner guidance 40-mile meditative run,“We often hesitate to follow our intuition out of fear. Most usually, we are afraid of the changes in our own life that our actions will bring. Intuitive guidance, however, is all about change. It is energetic data ripe with the potential to influence the rest of the world. To fear change but to crave intuitive clarity is like fearing the cold, dark night while pouring water on the fire that lights your cave. An insight the size of a mustard seed is powerful enough to bring down a mountain-sized illusion that may be holding our lives together. Truth strikes without mercy. We fear our intuitions because we fear the transformational power within our revelations.”
