In an email today, a friend wondered, “how did you come to have deep wisdom?” I was touched by her comment and also humbled.
When I am following much of what goes on in my personal mind, I think I’m probably more wacky than wise. But when I seek an inner quiet, cultivate beautiful feelings and ignore the chatter of my brain, I find that a deeper wisdom, what some might call a higher consciousness, whispers to me continuously.
I’ve been seeking to have a steady access to intuitive wisdom for a long, long time. I know that when I’m accessing the grace of that wisdom, life is just SO much gentler and easier. In the flow of wisdom, I’m safe from feeling overwhelmed or stressed.
There have been several important guides for me. One is Sydney Banks, a very humble spiritual teacher. You can listen to him at www.sydneybanks.org.
My husband, Bill is another guide—a highly outgoing, fun, funny man whose inner quiet is amazing. My daughter, Laura teaches me constantly through her gentle, thoughtful ways.
Two women psychologists have also been important teachers: Sherry and Ursula introduced me to Carl Jung’s work and the mysterious artistry of dreams. Then there’s Gail McMeekin, a creativity coach at www.creativesuccess.com, who helped me reclaim and extrovert my creative spirit.
Remembering and honoring our teachers is a great way to feel appreciative. Who are yours? I’d love to hear about them....
