Writings

Today I had the joy of video-recording a conversation with another longtime friend who has deeply influenced and supported my awakening for the past 20 years.  Raven operates deeply from Truth (rather than from an egoic identity) and discusses this in this video. You can find Raven at the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga (definitely worth the visit there too!) where he is the head of the kitchen, or here.

Thank you Raven for this visit – and for your true unconditional support, which has always meant supporting the truth – and not enabling the false ;). You should know that during those years (over a decade ago now!!) when you could see through the story I was trying so hard to uphold, I was able (willing) to hear you as you gently called my bluff (which of course, my ego didn’t want to hear, as egos don’t!) because of my deep respect for you and for what shines so clearly from your words, your ways and the fullness of your knowing (and not knowing) silence.

To those reading/listening – we will be having another meeting like this soon – and if you have a question to bring forth, please email it to me at theawakeningheart@laurapshaw.com  Your questions – wherever you think you are ‘at’ would make our day and bring such important diversity and presence to the mix. It is both of our deep joy to hold your questions, turn them upside-down, play with them, and respond from awareness.

Peace xo

 

There is an intelligence

that perceives your inner witnessing

this is your true being

a self-aware spaciousness

that simply is

infinitely vast

conscious presence

empty

of intentions, desires, attachments

and control

complete

whole

utter stillness

utter peace

in this deep silent endlessness

that is home

 

 

I’m so excited to share this post!  I just had the great joy of speaking with Dr. Kathryn Jefferies about her book (which launches today!) Awake: Education for Enlightenment.  In this interview Kathryn openly shares her personal and academic journey of awakening – and her insights on what it all means for how we educate and parent our children.  Kath has been a long-time personal friend (which you will hear in our giggling start) and I think you will find that her authenticity, warmth and human-ness – as well as the incredible work she is undertaking serves well in pointing us all to a greater truth and a greater way of being.  We would both love to open up the dialogue and hear your feedback and comments from this interview.
