Pure Release Guided Meditation MP3 Track
Ocean
Dive
During coaching
sessions, guided mediations that are targeted
to the clients needs come through spontaneously.
Ocean Dive was created during one particular
coaching session and birthed a guided imagery meditation CD
(available in the bookstore) with three tracks,
all uniquely powerful in releasing old patterns
of belief and their sticky fears
Poems
Love Letters
to God
Gayle Gregory
began writing these poems, or rather they began
to be written through her, while attending spiritual
intensives with her teacher, Elle Collier Re,
in December 2004. The latest poem was written
March 2007. They are in chronological order
and are a testiment to the mind’s ability
to quickly and deftly
counter any breakthrough threatening its survival
and the Heart’s deep and abiding presence
and absolute support regardless of mind’s
shennanigans. They speak to the depth and breadth
of her spiritual journey and are an open invitation
to any one willing to dive into a deeper understanding
of the Godmind within.
Love Letters to God Volume II
This sequel
to “Love Letter to God, Poems from the
Heart”, consists of writings from April
through December 2007. The Heart’s Win,
the prominence of delirious YES is evident.
These poems speak to the continued journey,
the pure ecstasy of falling so deeply into Love
that no desire for escape survives.
Love Letters to God Volume III
The latest volume of poetry is now available. It is called "Love Letters to God, I am That I AM." This collection was written December 2007 through June 2009. Beyond the
YES, all that survives is Love. The
expansion continues. There is no finish line,at least none that is recognized.
Articles
Poking
Around in Fear
"It is our
sense of a separate self, a self requiring protection
that creates all the problems in our worlds.
It is what makes us anxious or depressed.
It is what makes us feel just plain bad.
But more importantly, it is what stops us from
realizing our full potential, our true brilliance."
Don't Worry...Be
Happy
"The Amish taught
us a beautiful lesson this month. They
lost their own most innocent members and even
amidst the pain accepted both their children’s
killer and the killer’s family.
They let go of their minds’ ideas of how
it should be and stepped into the flow of what
was. With that movement forgiveness was
possible. What is interesting to
note is that with that action, the Amish set
their own healing into motion."
Musings on Choice
"Letting go can be
addicting. It brings with it a taste of true
freedom. After the first brave step, the
next steps tend to fall away in front of you,
drawing you upward and out of your self.
The first step is a willingness to see things
differently."
Musings on Gratitude
"I could
have sat with that lump in my stomach and hid
in the nearest closet, an alternative that initially
seemed appealing. My old programming could
have given me all the justification I needed
to do just that, but I couldn’t.
My commitment is to live life as a grand adventure.
It is always the perfect antidote to what ails
me."
Musings on Being
Alone
"What would we each
do differently if we weren’t worried about
tomorrows’ next meal, our retirement,
or leaving something behind for the children?
From a place of fearlessness, what would we
do differently right now?"
Magical Leap
of Faith
"Suspending my
mind’s story is quite a request, but it
is one that holds great promise. It holds
the promise of freedom from fear, a pre-requisite
for peace and true authenticity. I love
it when I am in the flow, effortlessly living
life. It feels wonderful when my mind’s
story stops and all that remains is an amazing
quiet. The peace is remarkable."
The Simple Secret
"I learned a
simple secret over the holidays. I don't know
how many times I had heard or read of this secret
before but, this time I HEARD it. It is so simple
that we discount it, believing that the secret
of life must be extremely complex and impossible
to understand. Perhpas it was grace, or maybe
I was just tired enough of the game to pay full
attention, worn down by my failures...and my
success."
Notes from a Coaching
Session
Q:
So here I am on page 30 of the book...for the
4th or so time. The lesson 'Dream a Little Dream'
keeps calling me back. Yes, it is asking me
to come back to it, and some thing insde won't
let me go past it.
Going Home,
They say we can never go home again...perhaps
we should
"For
several weeks I had been hearing a voice telling
me it was time jump in the car and go visit
my mother. Going home is always interesting
for me. I love my mother dearly and as I was
shown last week, I still held out a desire for
her full understanding and acceptance of me.
I knew that she loved me in her way, but I still
wanted her to love me ‘in my way’.
I wasn’t aware that I held out a desire
for this ‘appreciation’ of me—for
her to ‘get’ me—but on the
trip that fact became undeniable."
Relevance—a
Life Lesson...Like a Thief in the Night
"This
week has been a time for looking at relevance.
The thesaurus lists several synonyms for relevance,
among them: significance, meaning, importance,
consequence. For me it comes down to two words—to
matter. Isn’t that what we all want? Don’t
we all want to matter, to make a difference?
If we disappeared from the face of the earth,
wouldn’t we want to know that someone
would go looking for us? Sounds like a worthy
goal—to matter—but as I found this
last week, it comes at a fairly high price.
"
Protect and
Defend or Learn and Grow...An Either / Or Choice?
"Protect
and defend or learn and grow. I was deep in
conversation with my son and he said, “Mom,
it doesn’t have to be a choice between
the two.” His energy was protected and
I was having difficulty being with him. It felt
as if I was sitting next to an impenetrable
hedge, not an ordinary hedge, but one with great
thorns and deeply troubled energy. I felt as
if I had been transported to Grimm’s land
of fairy tales and plopped down in the middle
of the wonderful story about Little Briar-Rose."
The Surprise
in Letting Go of All Expectations...it's not
what you think it is
"My
son is a wonderful mirror for me. It’s
uncanny. Sometimes I wonder if he is really
sitting next to me or if I just envision his
face on reflections of my own thoughts. It seems
every time we get together I come away with
a fresh look at something I thought I understood.
Whoever said, “We are our children’s
teachers,” had it backwards. This time
our topic was expectations, or more precisely,
letting go of all expectation. My son was a
little resistant to the idea, especially when
asked to apply it to people whose behavior he
wasn’t exactly fond. He couldn’t
see how letting go would result in anything
other than an acceleration of the behavior—basically
giving license to the individual to continue
pushing his buttons."
On the Inside
Looking Out
"Most
of my life I have felt as if I was on the outside
looking in. When I think back to my school days
I never quite fit in. There were always people
more popular than I, people who appeared to
be happier, to have more friends, or a more
interesting family. Always a problem solver,
I set about trying to prove to myself that I
could fit in too. In my innocence, I reasoned
that all I had to do was try harder, work longer,
be nicer. It is interesting to note that when
I was younger everything I desired had to do
with people and connections, rather than acquisitions
and security."
In Love with
the Mystery
"No
wonder we avoid it. Surrender has some pretty
negative connotations. To give up completely…into
the power of another…especially as a prisoner…isn’t
very appealing. I have spent the day searching
for another word to use instead of ‘surrender’
because its meaning does not do us justice.
We hear the word surrender and immediately a
red flag goes up—way up."
The Secret Behind
"The Secret"
"Are
the people portrayed in "The Secret extraordinary--one
in a million--or are they just like the rest
of us? One way to decide would be to look at
their success and compare that with yours. If
you believe they are special, somehow exceptional,
write off the experiment as unworthy of attention.
Yet, if "The Secret" is still playing
in the back of your mind, you might want to
consider an alternative that opens the possibility
of realizing your goals."
In Search of the Golden Core Within
"Three
months ago I merely tapped into the vein of
self-hatred in those weeks prior to the publicity
summit. I had no idea how deep the mother lode
ran. For the past week I have been staring into
its hot core, awaiting revelation, willing at
last to see all exactly as it is and little
by little the scars mind inflicted bubble to
the surface, in search of sweet release."
Tinkering to Get the Fraud Out
"Recently,
I watched an interview with Brian Dennehy. As
he talked animatedly about his long, illustrious
career as an actor, one sentence he used grabbed
me and I found myself reaching for a pencil
to capture the juicy phrase. Of his performances
he said he was constantly, “tinkering
to get the fraud out”. As I listened I
wondered if we are constantly tinkering to get
the fraud out of our lives as well."
Into
the Belly of God
"Fear
of financial insecurity is intricately interwoven
in all we believe. It is a mighty dragon, chained
and held fast in the dungeon of mind. A divine
request for its release wordlessly, artfully
arose in awareness several weeks ago. At first,
as with all the other slices of ego that have
been stripped away, it was just a nagging discomfort.
For me, messages from God seem to show up first
as uneasiness in my body before making their
presence intelligible to mind. If I am not tuned
in, it’s easy to miss them altogether
or to shrug them off and placate myself with
distraction. Commitment to freeing this self
from ‘all’ self-made prisons means
that paying attention to body’s signs
becomes a daily ritual, one perfectly matched
with a vast incentive. This request invited
me to let go completely and dive into the belly
of God—to live there, love there, take
my sustenance only there, to release the control
I believed I had over my life, to release even
the idea of control—in essence, to stop
this mad game and come Home."
...On
Separation: NewConneXion, Portland,
Oregon -- May 2001
"As we block off
our minds and hearts to those others, whether
it be that other in the car competing for the
same spot in line, or our raging boss, an incompetent
colleague or defensive subordinate, we further
separate ourselves from the world we live in.
We shut off our own ability to feel, to sense,
to participate – one person at a time. "
Speaking
Up When It Seems Risky: The New Times,
Seattle, Washington -- June 2001
"Until you can stand
up and be counted the beliefs you hold are merely
paper tigers, shadows of the real thing.
Only these paper tigers have real teeth, biting
you every time you deny who you are, every time
you remain silent."
The
Absolute "Yes": New ConneXion,
Portland, Oregon -- August 2001
"What does it mean
to say “yes,” to say it with complete
conviction without holding anything back.
If I had truly said “yes” to Self,
this “I” would be gone – annihilated,
all my stories, all my desires, wiped away with
that one word."
On
Being In The Now, Effortlessly: New
ConneXion, Portland, Oregon -- November 2001
"Is the mind in constant
agitation, trying to control the dream, worrying
about the outcome or do the events just arise?
If you think about it you will realize that
the events unfold just like the scenes at the
movies."
Oh,
Sweet, Intricate Mind: The New Times,
Seattle, Washington -- December 2001
"Oh sweet mind, sweet
intricate mind! I see your game.
You are the protector! You sweep in to
protect me at the exact moment you create the
fear from which I need protection. As
long as I do not question the system there is
no risk of my seeing the paradox. "
