Awaken to a Great Day

This beautiful presentation was forwarded to me by my colleague Kris Stockwell, an acupuncturist in Tacoma. Click here to view the multimedia presentation (note it may take a couple of minutes to load) or just enjoy the inspirational words below. Wishing you a GREAT day.

Sun Awaken
by Ralph S. Marston, Jr.

In your life
A new day is dawning
Awaken and touch the beauty

Wherever you've come from
Whatever you've been
New possibilities beckon
Right here and now
Awaken and make them real

There was a time when you held in your heart
The most magnificent of dreams
A time when life seemed to carry
Endless promises and possibilities

Those dreams are still with you
Awaken and bring them to life

What you long for
Is longing for you
What you dream of
Is what you are meant to create

The doubts you have exist only in your mind
The anxieties that seem so burdensome are of your own making
Now is the moment to awaken,
and allow those doubts to melt away

Awaken, and dive deeply into the beauty of this moment
Allow your spirit to fully experience the richness of it all

Awaken
Allow peace to fill you completely
Let it touch your deepest longings
Let it bring those longings to life
Your most treasured possibilities are real,
If you will simply let them live through you

Awaken to this moment, and life begins anew
Reach inside, and allow
your most treasured
dreams to awaken with you
Into a bright and shining new day

Remind yourself again and again
Of how beautiful life can be
Remind yourself again and again
That you can make it so

Awaken
Step boldly and lovingly forward
Into this day

You've already come
So very far

You're stronger, more experienced
and more determined than ever
To fulfill those longings
That tell you who you are

Now is your moment to create real meaning
Now is your moment to awaken
And to truly and fully live

Upcoming Retreats

On My Bookshelf

  • : A General Theory of Love

    A General Theory of Love
    This is the one of those books recommended to me by four different people in the span of a week. After I read the book, I understood why. A fascinating and very well-written read about how the brain develops and comes to experience love, and so much more.

  • : A Women's Book of Life: The Biology, Psychology, and Spirituality of the Feminine Lifecycle

    A Women's Book of Life: The Biology, Psychology, and Spirituality of the Feminine Lifecycle
    Among my very favorites. Learn about the biology, psychology, and spirituality of women at every stage.

  • : Boundaries: Where You End and I Begin

    Boundaries: Where You End and I Begin
    A must read for anyone confused about boundaries. Learn about how to identify boundary violations, and practicing good self care, and more.

  • : The Pregnant Virgin

    The Pregnant Virgin
    A beautifully written book, rich in Jungian archetype, about a women's coming of age.

  • : The Secret

    The Secret
    Worth the read, and you'll enjoy the DVD even more. The Secret explores the Law of Attraction, a concept which could transoform the way you experience your self and your life.

  • : When Things Fall Apart

    When Things Fall Apart
    Every book written by Pema Chodron, one of the great spiritual teachers of our time, is worth reading.
