Enlightenment At Home | by Madisyn Taylor Many spiritual seekers feel called to far-flung places across the globe in the interest of pursuing the path of their enlightenment. This may indeed be the right course of action for certain people, but it is by no means necessary to attaining an enlightened consciousness. Enlightenment can take root anywhere on earth, as long as the seeker is an open and ready vessel for higher consciousness. All we need is a powerful intention, and a willingness to do the work necessary to moving forward on our path. In terms of spiritual practice, at this moment, there are more tools available to more people than at any other time in history. We have access to so much wisdom through the vehicles of books, magazines, the Internet, television, and film. In addition, the time-honored practice of meditation is free, and sitting quietly everyday, listening to the universe, is a great way to start the journey within. There is further inspiration in the fact that the greatest teachers we have are our own life experiences, and they come to us every day with new lessons and new opportunities to learn. If we look at the people around us, we may realize that we have a spiritual community already intact, and if we don't, we can find one, if not in our own neighborhood, then on-line. Meanwhile, if we feel called to travel in search of teachers and experiences, then by all means, we should. But if we can't go to India, or Burma, or Indonesia, or if we don't have the desire, this is not an obstacle in terms of our spiritual development. In fact, we may simply be aware that our time and energy is best spent in our own homes, with our meditation practice and all the complications and joys of our own lives. We can confidently stay in one place, knowing that everything that we need to attain enlightenment is always available right where we are. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Dan Millman Most of us go about our daily activities without much attention towards the subtle and simple pleasures of life. The experiences that captivate our senses and stand out to us are usually more dramatic as we as a society have collectively come to expect flashiness and grandeur. We want to be wowed, but are less easily impressed with each passing day. What would it feel like to awaken each morning grateful simply for the gift of a new day -- the ability to move your body, see a palette of colors and shapes, enjoy aromas, taste an array of food, feel the pleasure of touch, play with the material world, and bathe in the currents of passing time? This course teaches a brief yet powerful meditation practice to instill a profound appreciation for the life you were given on planet Earth -- something most of us take for granted. By the end of the course, not only will you have memorized this meditation, you'll also have gained a deep understanding of its benefits. This understanding will evolve into realization and revelation over time, with practice. Top 10 DailyOM Courses 1. Fit and Fierce Over 40 2. 14 Day Spinal Reset 3.
