As I hold ‘ Perserverance’  in my hands, my senses come alive. I can feel the wisdom oozing from the book through its cover. The size of the book is very lovely and easy to hold, with its pretty soft pages, delicately illustrated, I love flipping through it and finding nugget after nugget of wisdom. Each page a new offering, an insightful perspective, a quotation, poem or essay to take in and to satisfy the evolving soul.

I am excited by and committed to the direction revealed to me by my intuitive promptings each day. The curiosity and trust I place in my intuition  allows me to be steered in the direction that best serves my own evolution. As I act upon these gentle promptings with certainty and conviction, the way is more easily and clearly revealed.  I am always learning how to best listen to, trust upon and allow the experience of my intuition to support me in my life. As I increase my capacity to discern authenticity from image, soul from ego and essential nature(self) from personality, my fulfillment and satisfaction deepens. Uncovering and trusting one’s intuition is no doubt a life long process, one that I am enthralled by because it is so enriching and vital to living a purposeful and meaningful life.  Andrew Cohen, spiritual teacher and founder of EnlightenNext Magazine says it so well in his article  ‘Authentic Intuition‘. It is one of my recent favourites and speaks volumes. Enjoy and please share your comments below. I would love to hear from you to learn how your authentic intuition reveals itself.  Click here to read Andrew Cohen’s article on Authentic Intuition.

Preparing for, and then engaging in a meaningful and important conversation with Andrew was undeniably soul -satisfying, deeply enriching and moving. In fact I have since listened to our conversation several times (and most recently while adding some music to the interview) and each time am elevated to new heights by the hope he invites us all to discover and take upon ourselves to realize, and by the sheer depth from which his words emanate.  Andrew Harvey is a renowned and distinguished mystical scholar, Rumi translator and explicator, poet, novelist, spiritual teacher, architect of Sacred Activism, and author of over 30 books. His newest book The Hope A Guide to Sacred Activism provided the basis for our conversation on Heart Beat.

In this conversation you will hear Andrew talk very personally and intimately about : Sacred activism- what we can do right now to become sacred activists and help birth a new world- suggested practices and disciplines to maintain hope and inspired action-why it is so important to live from our heart in these rapidly changing times- the importance of deep shadow work,  joy, love and justice and much more.

Please enjoy this conversation.
