This is who runs this account. Hi I’m Maria. 😁 For more than a decade I’ve trained with an array of gifted spiritual teachers. I’ve studied a variety of types of meditation but at the core of all of these practices is the ability to rise above the chaos and connect in amazing ways. Connect with what? A topic for another post. We each have our own journey but when I guide people in meditation part of my mission is to help them attain what some of my teachers call “A Beautiful State”. We can’t control happenings around us but we can decide how we will respond. Responding from a grounded, intelligent state (“A Beautiful Stare”) can help elevate our lives in amazing ways, alleviate suffering and enhance our relationships. Here are just a few benefits of meditation. •⁠ ⁠Learn to rise above fear and experience a great sense of inner freedom •⁠ ⁠Become more present, connected, and receive benefits from every experience that life gives you •⁠ ⁠Pursue love, achievements, success, prosperity from a beautiful state

Did I really do that?😝😱🦋#NewProfilePic

Hello beautiful! This is a snowy egret. Photo by: me Information by: Grok Core Spiritual Themes • Purity, clarity, and simplicity: The immaculate white feathers symbolize a clean or unburdened soul, spiritual clarity, and the ability to rise above messiness or distraction. It is often linked to renewal, starting fresh, and aligning with higher consciousness (sometimes associated with the crown chakra). uniguide.com • Grace, dignity, and elegance: Its long neck, poised stance, and fluid movements represent moving through life (or challenges) with composure and beauty rather than force. • Patience balanced with precise action: Egrets (including snowies) stand still for long periods while hunting, then strike with focus. This teaches knowing when to wait and when to act. Snowy egrets add an active, inventive element—they stir mud or use their yellow feet to flush prey, symbolizing creative problem-solving, resourcefulness, and dynamic energy alongside stillness. spiritualmeanings.net • Peace, tranquility, and harmony: Its quiet, gentle presence is associated with calm, balance, and diplomacy. In some Native American traditions (notably Cherokee), egrets represent peace; feathers were worn by diplomats or athletes as emblems of harmony. worldbirds.com • Transformation, adaptability, and spiritual growth: Moving between water (emotions, the subconscious, or the underworld) and air/sky connects it to transitions, resilience, and evolving with grace. It is frequently described as a guide for spiritual awakening or navigating life changes. ourspiritanimal.com • Messenger and divine connection: In various modern and some traditional views, it acts as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms—a sign of guidance, protection, or higher insight. Related white herons/egrets in other cultures (e.g., Māori kōtuku) carry connotations of rarity, blessing, distinction, or carrying souls.

Pause for a brief meditation

This is for people to work on whatever they personally are focusing on; the idea is to BE with others in a productive way. Is that right Becky? @becky_sing84602

Let’s keep evolving. Let’s not feed the dark while we are doing it.
