Why are we here?
Meaning, why are we here together sharing these words? Before we get to that I want to welcome you here for whatever reason. We are exploring and more importantly experiencing that which is beyond the realm of concepts, ideas, opinions and beliefs. We work with a variety of those to cultivate clarity.
The beginning of all this is simple:
Just want it.
Open to unbelievable possibilities and allow it to unfold. It’s really just a matter of remembering what has been there all along!
About Joyful Illumination Practice...
It seems appropriate to offer a brief overview of what we are up to here. We are exploring and more importantly experiencing that which is beyond the realm of concepts, ideas, opinions, and beliefs. We work with a variety of those to cultivate clarity. All of these have their time and place in our spiritual journey for sure, but the experience of unity consciousness and our reconnection with the Source of all that is cannot be contained in language-based expressions. Mystical union unfolds as a very intimate process of realization. There are many paths leading to this state and yet, at some point most of us need to relax and silence the thinking mind, to be still, to see the limitation and impermanence of the ego-self and even our physical body. This is one way to say “meditation”. The ultimate aim of this is to integrate all that we are. The body, the egoic self, the learned reality that has been our life can all be aligned with the Inner Self as we awaken to our essential oneness with our world and with our Highest Truth. Awakening to the Truth of our own nature opens us to the frequencies of peace, joy, love, compassion, wisdom, freedom, wholeness, health, inspiration and gratitude.

Our Origin:
I have facilitated a meditation group for several years now in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Our group is composed of full- time residents, part time people and folks just passing through. We meet once a week to explore, discuss and meditate together. For years some of the part time people have requested that I put the teachings and meditations online. Eventually someone leaving San Miguel said that our group was one of the main things she would miss. I guess my heart just cracked open and I said ok. So, we are here because the request was made with an intensity that has made it happen.
All are welcomed
My hope is that anyone who wants to join us remotely will feel free to do so. Certainly, the part-time people that want to join us but also anyone I’ve met along my life’s journey who might be curious about their inner world, or just old friends who want to know what I’ve been up to since I left the great state of Texas. In any case, please use what you wish and know that all are welcome to leave comments and to join our circle. This approach to inner work is very simple and direct, suitable for those beginning or continuing on their own unique spiritual path.
