"I never imagined that the spiritual path could be so easy and so much fun. I am having more joy than ever and I am growing spiritually faster than ever. I have been doing spiritual practices diligently for 35 years.

But until I took my first Open Heart workshop, my spiritual path was like swimming upstream against a raging current. Now my spiritual path is like being carried downstream, letting the love of my heart gently carry me home.

My first profound spiritual experience came in 1970. So, I have long known that the spark of the divine is within me. But I didn't know how to easily and consistently access that spark. All the pathways I had been taking involved going through my mind. Unfortunately my mind is full of pitfalls, and those 35 years have felt like climbing a steep mountain on an uncertain path. Allowing my heart to take me to the divine spark within is like relaxing on deck of a boat on a warm, sunny day while the boat carries me to my destination.

I feel as if I have found what I have been searching for my entire adult life. I am so grateful. I am letting go of the struggles of my mind and enjoying the sweet love of my heart. I still stumble and fall on my path at times, but now my heart is always ready and able to pick me up and guide me ever deeper into the love that is my birthright as a human being."
