Mitakuye Oyasin
The phrase translates in English as "all my relatives," "we are all related," or "all my relations."
It is a prayer of oneness and harmony with all forms of life: other people, animals, birds, insects, trees and plants, and even rocks, rivers, mountains and valleys.
AWAKENING - SELF EMPOWERMENT
................................................................
~ COURAGE IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY ~
Ultimately, internal suffering is a daily practice imposed on one's self.
While the residues affect those around us, the delusion is that there is no other way to fix our self - other than escape. In contrast, suffering the physical pains of liberation is a small price to pay to settle one's mind.
Creating the conditions ourselves, purification enables the self to pass through the gateway. It seems to be no easy feat but simultaneously is an illusion that is easily broken - its success relies wholly on commitment, a skill we intimately know or have.
Surrender, most importantly intention, are the gems of our wealth. Worthy demands when pursued, they hold the keys to the greatest reward - of finding our true nature and happiness by means of self actualization.
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR ALL LIFE
