Experience Natural Brilliance Now

How do you respond when you’ve filed every last piece of paper on your desk? (Can you remember or was it too long ago?) How do you feel when you finally find that great lamp you need to fill a dark corner in your living room, and when you set it up, its light makes everything in the room look new and better than ever? When the last puzzle piece slips into place and you find yourself moving your hand over all the pieces to smooth them into perfect alignment, do you find a smile on your face?

If you feel exhilaration after the filing is done; if you have a sense of appreciation for the glow of light that spreads warmth all around you; and if you smile in simple satisfaction at putting all the puzzle pieces together, then you have experienced one small glimpse of what living from your Brilliance can offer.

How many minutes or hours a day do you find yourself feeling satisfaction, excitement, joy, and genuine happiness?  If you answered “Not enough”, then a thorough study of natural Brilliance is a gift you should give yourself.

Oprah has featured many writers over the years who have stressed the value of mindset. Her project with Eckhart Tolle stresses expanding one’s consciousness, which is moving from old beliefs and patterns of thinking to a broader mindset that encompasses much more. Mindset is mainstream.

Perhaps it’s time for a new mindset for the holidays. Some of the major holidays of the year celebrated by different religions have already passed. Thanksgiving is over as well. But no matter where we go we are surrounded by the trappings of Christmas, with Kwanza and Chanukah coming up for those who celebrate these days.  Gifts, decorations, food, and more can frazzle us while they dazzle us. It could be time to start some new traditions.

What is the true gift in our gift-giving? It seems that one reason we give gifts is to show appreciation to another person.
