Quotes
View all problems as challenges. Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow. Don't run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence. You have a problem? Great. More grist for the mill. Rejoice, dive in, and investigate.
–Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"
Do not lose hope in Allah, for He is the Creator. He will create another way for you. Do not flee from your trials; patience in adversity is the foundation of all virtue, of compassion and sainthood. Patience is the foundation, and without a sound foundation you cannot build a monument.
–Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jillani, "Fayuz E Yazdani
Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all.
–Buddha
"If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere."

FEATURE ARTICLE:
Finding and Living in Peace
Last night I was listening to a song by Sade called The Color of Love. It made me think about several different subjects. One was: How can we create the world we want if we are seeking power and control or fighting with others or internally with ourselves?
One truth I know is that we cannot change the world from the outside. By placing blame on others or thinking that if I just get “that thing or person” then everything will be perfect. The only way to change the world is by changing ourselves first, from the inside out. We live in a thought-tormented age, which makes this kind of change very difficult -- but not impossible.
“Those who offer instant enlightenment mislead us. After all, we have to bring the mind itself under control, and there is no more difficult task in life. We should be prepared for a lifetime of challenge. But then, ... continueThis article was written by Tim Custis and edited by Elaine Baskin

Finding “YOUR TRUTH”
Exploring the Human condition
Pain, fear, resistance and suffering play an important role in our human and spiritual existence. Learn how they can be used to accelerate our growth as a spiritual being having a human experience. In addition, you will learn body scanning a technique to help connect on a deeper level with your body.
About the Global Healing Circle
Our mission is to create a safe and healing environment for those who wish to connect with others while exploring their own path in life. We do not practice religion but draw from our own life experiences so we may come together as equals to foster the growth of who we are as human and spiritual beings. We seek to learn about ourselves for the betterment of our lives, relationships and for the healing of our planet. We do this with the understanding that changing the world first begins with changing ourselves.
The Global Healing Circle was created with my friend Suzy Baldwin we will encourage you to participate more in the process of creating your life by releasing blocks, setting new goals and reaching for new heights. We believe that your potential as an individual, and our potential as a global community, is unlimited.
Those who choose to join our circle will be part of a process that is ever-changing and ever-evolving to meet the needs of the group. Individually, we will explore, honor, and learn from our differences. United, we will connect, inspire, and reach for something greater than that which we currently know.
Come try us out. Do as much or as little as you like. Share, only, if and when you’re ready. If it feels like home, stay awhile. If it does not, we thank you for your time and consideration, and send you blessings as you travel onward. Whoever, wherever you are, we honor you as part of the whole.
The meetings are free and everyone is welcome. So if you are ready, we invite you to join us. Dates and time listed below.
