Article by Shusara Akona Kumara October 14, 2016An real life example of how the ego projects its own issues onto others.
"Get over it."
There was great wisdom in those words…..if only he had consciously directed them at himself.
The boy messed up – again. His love for computers and one particular game put him in a space where he made the choice to linger on the website after he had been told to get off. The father came in to the room and saw the computer was still on. He became upset. Why? Any number of reasons.…
Article by Shusara Akona Kumara October 5, 2016Following the spiritual path does not mean you are meant to disengage from the world. Just the opposite is true.
A Message from The Kumara Center for Spiritual Awareness
An unfortunate byproduct of following the spiritual path, for many seekers, is the desire to leave the world altogether. In fact, it is precisely this desire that has brought many of them to their inner work in the first place. This is a trap.
Remember, your life IS your spiritual path! You did not choose to come have this 3rd…

Brussels:

Article by Shusara Akona Kumara October 2, 2016Living life from the heart does not have to be relegated to children and people called to service. It is your nature.
Greetings!
The program of the ego is centered in domination, manipulation and control. It is not capable of doing anything outside of attempting to attain its personal agendas. Desire is born out of unmet needs and those desires to meet the needs drive the personality to disregard everything that is not in alignment with its quest.
It is all done from a place of pain. The unconscious need for…

Article by Mark Susnow September 26, 2016When you are a writer and teacher you're always looking for that next story or insight to share and when it comes to you, it's a gift. So it was with delight when my youngest daughter, Savanna, a teacher herself, made such a gift.
WHAT WE TELL OURSELVES
We learn from all of our experiences and from everyone we meet, although at the time we might not realize the impact they have on us.
I love stories. My kindergarten teacher, Ms. Burdette, was one of the best storytellers I've ever heard and I've met some great ones. In many ways she was my first life teacher. She always got me to dig deeper, to get excited and to…
Article by Elizabeth Joyce September 19, 2016This week brings us the Fall Equinox! The Sun transits from Virgo into Libra, initiating Autumn (in the Northern hemisphere). You might not even know it, but most likely you felt it somewhere in your body, mind, and/or soul. Mercury also goes back into direct motion on this powerful date. This is one of four days, the Equinox and Solstice, celebrated by many different cultures and traditions in the past as well as the present. On Wednesday evening â Thursday morning, the Earthâs orbit around the Sun, the day and nightâs duration is equal, bringing balance to the earth.
Autumn Equinox: The True Valentine’s Day

Article by Shusara Akona Kumara September 16, 2016Shusara shares the messages she received during facilitating a group meditation during the full moon in Pisces on Sept. 16, 2016
Greetings!
At The Kumara Center for Spiritual Awareness, I facilitate group meditations each month during the new and full moons. Rarefied energies from our central sun bathe Earth at these times and group meditation brings with it the benefit of exponentially increasing the expansion of consciousness for the entire collective, versus individual meditation practiced at home.
I don’t normally…
Article by Elizabeth Joyce September 5, 2016I want you to think about opening your 8th chakra, which will open you up to your truth. Truth is something that can withstand the test of experience. Without the core of truth there can be no real justice, equality, success, progress, intelligence, security, peace, love, spirituality, or even our survival. Without truth mankind is lost â and is headed for certain disaster â perhaps in the near future. How can one open up and release their pain â and move forward into the Light of peace and happiness? Truth has a common denominator â be assured. Truth is the only thing that can unite all human beings. It is what we all have in common and something that will always remain.
I want you to think about opening your 8th chakra, which will open you up to your truth. Truth is something that can withstand the test of experience.
A man should look for what is,
Not for what he thinks it should be.

Article by Mark Susnow August 30, 2016Perhaps the fear movie is the most powerful. Weâll do almost anything to avoid itâyet you have to admit that it has an aliveness about it. But when we live in that emotion, it consumes us and itâs difficult to really experience some of the positive emotions such as love, peace, joy and harmony. The fear movie makes us feel as if weâre stuck in a tunnel where all we see is darkness. At times we feel that weâll never see light again.
THE MOVIE OF YOUR LIFE
You're in the mood for a movie. What looks good—you just want to be entertained. Perhaps you’ve read a few reviews. You think about what emotions you want to experience. Do you want the drama, sitting on the edge of your seat watching a thriller, or something lighter that makes you feel good? Perhaps you want to be inspired by a touching story. That's the question we ask…
Article by Mark Susnow August 21, 2016We know by now that worry doesn't help. What helps is clear thinking. Turning off that worry machine is a mighty challenge, one worthy of our best effort. Let's say we don't turn it all the way off but we diminish it's effect on us. Perhaps each day we're able to turn it all the way off even if just for a brief interval.
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION WE CAN ASK OURSELVES
We ask questions all the time, although we might not think of them in that way. When we think about the future, what comes to mind for many are the loose ends and uncertainty that we will be facing. How we handle this uncertainty is different for each of us. At times these concerns seem daunting, and at other times, like an exciting…

Article by Mark Susnow July 22, 2016When you feel good inside, you see the good in others. It is also true that when you feel loving, you see others as loving. Unfortunately too many of us are looking to find love outside of ourselves--itâs an inside job that has its own language.
The Language of Love
We live in a relational world. Successful relationships transform our families, schools, institutions, governments and the world we live in. In the process we’re able to experience more joy and happiness in our lives. Most of us would agree that there is ample opportunity for us to express more love in our lives. But we don’t always do it. Love is such a powerful emotion that…
Article by Mark Susnow July 15, 2016There was the swing, the slide, the seesaw and the sandbox. And of course the other kids. Once you felt safe, you let go and forgot about time.You weren't concerned with what you had to do "afterwards;" you didn't even think about "afterwards" or tomorrow. You were in the moment. Nothing else mattered. You can be there again!
ENTER YOUR MAGICAL PLAYGROUND
Perhaps more than even ever this message is timely. There was a time when you didn't worry about yesterday or tomorrow. You were totally engaged in the moment. Do you remember what that was like?
Many of us have fond memories of playing at the playground. There was the swing, the slide, the seesaw and the sandbox. And of course the other…
Article by Shusara Akona Kumara July 2, 2016A look at our concept of freedom and what it really is.
As we in the United States celebrate Independence Day again, I am moved to take the concept it is built upon and put it under greater scrutiny.
What is it to be free? Here in America, we think we are free because we have civil rights set in place by our forebears, the right to vote for our elected officials and the ability to move within the country as we please.
However, for those who have…
Article by Mark Susnow June 27, 2016Most of us are familiar with the phrase in the titleâthat moment when you freeze, that moment when youâre unable to respond. Itâs usually not an actual deer in the road, although sometimes it is, but a form of communication that lets you know that your life wonât be the same.
The Deer in the Headlights
I wasn’t sure what to call this story. You’ll see why in a minute. Most of us are familiar with the phrase in the title—that moment when you freeze, that moment when you’re unable to respond. It’s usually not an actual deer in the road, although sometimes it is, but a form of communication that lets you know that your life won’t be the same.
Some of those moments might…
Article by Mark Susnow June 21, 2016At some point on our lives, we ask ourselves if we are living the life we really want. Very few of us can say yes to this question. Most, if not all of us, settle for what we have. We make up a story with many variations that explains why our life is the way it is. Usually these stories involve many of the limiting beliefs we have adopted during our lives. It might sound something like this:
GETTING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE
And the day came when the risk to remain closed in a bud became more painful than the risk to blossom. Anais Nin

Article by Sheryl Hirsch-Kramer June 6, 2016What is fear management? And what does Santa have to do with this post?
Fear is that really icky feeling caused by the belief that something or someone will hurt us. Some fears are justified, like the possibility of getting badly burned if we choose to run into a burning building. People have been known to die if they run into burning buildings. Not running into burning buildings is a good way not to get badly burned and/or die. And some fears…
Article by Sheryl Hirsch-Kramer May 23, 2016The above photo was taken on Friday 3 May 2013. My dog had been diagnosed with terminal cancer four days earlier. My brain was still messed up from the stroke Iâd experienced 14 months earlier. Thinking wasnât something I remembered how to do.
In lieu of a functional brain, I’d begun operating on intuition, not yet understanding that surrendering the idea of thinking my way through problems instead of allowing myself to be guided was the wisest thing I could do.
Thanks to being unable to work because of brain damage, my life savings were rapidly vanishing and no new money was coming in. Thanks to nearly all of my loved ones dying…
