Enlightenment doesn’t mean you have reached superhuman status. What it means is you have the same life lessons and life experiences, and you are choosing to view these experiences with a lens of expansive awareness, striving to release judgment and criticism. You are also attempting to maintain inner peace in the midst of all life experiences.

Sometimes this may all feel overwhelming in your day-to-day living. Remember, regardless of what is happening in your life; you have the power to direct your thought and choose how you will respond. Open your mind and heart to this practice, and you will be amazed at the development of your inner peace. No matter where you are in your life, you always have the capacity to expand this inner light.

Listen to this brief exercise to help you connect to your light at heart center.
