Leaving Impatience Behind

By Anya Phenix June 3, 2013 Leave a comment

Soon after we got married, my husband told me that I was the most impatient person he’d ever met. I think it had something to do with me wanting to move our furniture around at two o’clock in the morning, because I’d had a great idea for how to better use our space. We both […]

Seeking Truth

By Anya Phenix May 13, 2013 4 Comments

I had just formally renounced Christianity, citing an inability to believe in a God who would create humans only to sentence the majority of them to an eternity of pain and suffering – among other issues I have with traditional Christian beliefs. I knew in my heart that love was the most important thing in […]

Last Thursday my husband, daughter, and I went to an Asian Art museum to see Tibetan Buddhist monks making a beautiful sand mandala. My daughter got to try out the tools that the monks use to make the mandala, and she learned how to use a Tibetan singing bowl – from a Tibetan monk! She […]

Fear and Love

I am frightened by the power I feel when I am angry. I know that I have the potential to do tremendous harm – emotionally, spiritually, and physically – if I were to harness the power available to me. For this reason, I have made it a priority to learn how to control my anger. […]

Today I get to celebrate the birth of the most amazing man I’ve ever known – my wonderful husband. We’ve been married for nearly nine years, and in that time I have learned more about life, love, acceptance, myself, and understanding others than in all the prior years of my life. In the course of […]

Choices

I am part of one great organism. I choose to be a healthy cell instead of a cancerous growth, sharing my energy with all who need it and being replenished by the healthy cells around me. Everything you touch, you affect. Everything that touches you affects you.

This Morning’s Meditation

I receive power from the earth. Strong, enduring, full of health. I breathe in and out, feeling the pulse of life. I shift my focus to the sky and am reminded of Spirit. I am daily renewed as the sun and moon are renewed. I give my energy to all things and receive energy freely […]
