Tao Te Ching Excerpts

Tao Te Ching Excerpts: While much of this ancient text applies to the Akashic Records. For me, Verse One and Verse Six speak of the originating boundlessness and its connection to us in this moment.

What are Mindful Moments? by Cheryl Marlene

What are Mindful Moments?

What are Mindful Moments? For me, a mindful moment is that moment when I take a breath while also becoming aware of whatever is at the edge of my awareness. I observe. I give attention. I let whatever is just at the surface bubble up. I pay attention to my mind and also my body. …

Learning to Live Inside-Out by Cheryl Marlene

Learning to Live Inside-Out

Learning to live inside-out sounds a bit odd at first. Let me explain. I’ve been working with the Akashic Records for over 20 years and in that time, I’ve learned so much about myself. One of the biggest changes in my life has been what I call the shift to inside-out — instead of outside-in. …

Resistance as Course Correction by Cheryl Marlene

Resistance as Course Correction

Today I have been thinking about how resistance is course correction. When I ran into resistance, I used to think I had done something wrong. That I had missed the turn.
