“By resting in the acceptance that every facet of experience exists as perfectly-orchestrated catalysts of divine perfection, a willingness to accept how everything is only here to be loved instinctively moves you into the reality of eternal grace.” Matt Kahn (A Deeper Surrender)
“The most direct thing that I can say to you is to not believe your mind. Shift your focus from the mind to the Heart, which means affectionate awareness and stillness. Your mind will not like you doing this at first but with some time and patience, and more than a little love, your mind’s reactions to the old beliefs crumbling will become less and less troubling.” Adyashanti (Redemptive Love” study course)
“Suffering is primarily a call for attention, which itself is a movement of love. More than happiness, love wants growth, the widening and deepening of awareness and consciousness and being. Whatever prevents that, becomes a cause of pain, and love does not shirk from pain.” Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
“We alone are the problem because everything other than ourself comes into seeming existence only when we rise as this ego, and we alone are the solution to this problem because it is only by attending to ourself alone that we can dissolve this illusory ego that we now seem to be.” Ramana Maharshi Foundation (social media post)

From Cindy’s website http://cindylora.com/
Cindy Lora is an innovative and extraordinary talent blending an eclectic mix of Visionary/New Age, Alternative Pop and meditative sounds with contemporary beats to create a unique style. Her sultry vocals, creative lyrics, and primal rhythms produce a state of mind which takes the listener to higher places where courage, wisdom, and passion can transform.
Born into a family of teachers and musicians and raised in the Midwest, Cindy was exposed to music early in life. As she developed herself emotionally and spiritually, her musical talents matured with her. Cindy is also a pianist and graduate of California State University, Northridge, with a B.A. in Psychology and a Minor in Music. She has also completed her Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica and uses her music and degrees as a “healing” tool to help others transform their consciousness into the “higher” octaves of life. She is currently accepting clients for Spiritual Counseling, and is available for phone sessions. Her touring schedule with her husband, Gary Renard, is extensive, including performances all over the world, where Cindy participates in her husband’s workshops, singing, guiding meditations, and occasional speaking.
Her eclectic CD, “Summer And Smoke,” reveals Cindy as a true Visionary Artist. Her second CD, “Journey Through Sound”, is for relaxation, and explores the use of sound and chant. The CD “Near The Beginning” was a collaboration with her husband, Gary, and includes a mix of some of their favorite popular songs as well as two original songs. Cindy’s latest CD, which was also a collaboration with her husband, is called “Meditations For Couples: Awakening to Love’s Presence Through Partnership”, and encourages couples to reach their full potential in partnership through the process of an inner journey. Cindy’s visionary lyrical style combined with her spiritual nature provides an unforgettable musical and healing experience. As we enter an age where the old paradigms are challenged to allow new ones to flourish, Cindy’s music is right at the leading edge, acting as a bridge to take us into this new way of living. For those who feel drawn to this vision, please join her in an inspiring journey!
Gina Lake reads a passage from one of her channeled books:
The Jesus Trilogy
A Heroic Life
or In the World but Not of It
This is either followed with a talk by her or a channeled session with Jesus about the passage.

“To use your mind in a natural way means to avoid trying to control it. The more you try to control your mind, the more stray thoughts will come up to bother you. In fact, the very fear of stray thoughts is another stray thought. Therefore, if you have many stray thoughts, consider it a natural phenomenon and do not despise them.” Master Sheng-yen (Being Natural)
“Simply by surrendering your need, desire, or tendency to fight your mind, fight your feelings, fight your symptoms, fight with others, fight with criticism, or any perceivable struggle or injustice, you become an open space through which the light of Divinity shines through for the evolution of all.” Matt Kahn (My mind is my shelter)
