Spiritual Courage
Finding your compass in the chaos of today is sometimes overwhelming. I have gotten very clear that I cannot control anything outside myself. I find my grounding in managing one aspect of myself at a time. “Today I will practice patience.” “Today I will particle compassion.” “Today I will practice focus.” Again I find that I have to begin all those practices with my self before I can have patience, compassion, focus with anything outside of me. I think that’s what Spiritual Courage is. Spiritual Courage is having the Presence to choose moment to moment who I am being. This is an act of spirituality, because in those discrete moments I am profoundly present to something bigger than me.

High praise for our partner, Gloria Karpinski, and her brilliant and inspired book, Barefoot on Holy Ground: Twelve Lessons in Spiritual Craftsmanship. Grounding, uplifting and supportive, this book ushers us along a path of spiritual development that is deeply personal and at the same time, universal. Lucy and I are reading it together, and find ourselves savoring every moment. It is wonderfully exciting also to find that Gloria is giving voice to the same teachings we offer, but from perspective and experience that is distinctly her own.
The easy-to-follow lessons are divided into three parts. Knowing the Way explores the way we recognize and understand our mission through Knowledge, Revelation, Body Wisdom and Discernment. Becoming the Way illuminates the fundamental building principles of strong discipleship: Love, Will, Faith, and Power. Fulfilling the Way reveals the practical process through which we bring our journey to fruition by Creating, Transforming, Enduring and Serving. Integration, balance, wisdom and affirmation are the benefits of the twelve lessons. Full of effective spiritual exercises, Barefoot on Holy Ground
leads us along the path of conscious evolution and teaches us to live our spiritual calling in the world, as a contribution to others.
Gloria also provides Life Attunements. These are intuitive readings that reveal your truest nature, your history across lifetimes, and your destiny. Much more than an informational reading, Life Attunements provide exactly what they are called: a deep attunement at all layers of your being toward the multidimensional purposes of your life. Without question, you will find the experience to be one of the most shaping of who you become.
We honor Gloria Karpinski, and we are delighted to know her as our guide and our partner. To order your own copy of Barefoot on Holy Ground or find out more about Gloria, contact Libby Isley, Assistant to Gloria @ (336) 724-2027 or libbypc@triad.rr.com .

The Cliff Jumping® Audio and Workbook Program continues to cook! Here’s what people are saying:
“It was so cool to have you, and the class, with me on my way to and from work today. I am enjoying the class input and questions, and I find that this method (inclusion of a class) is helpful for me in answering the questions you put to the group, as well as to hear their views and interpretations.”
“Your definition of intention has captured what has been missing for me in my pursuit of increased consciousness, i.e. intention being the energetic feel in my body as opposed to just the cognitive thought about what I want manifested in life. This is particularly challenging for me since I'm so much in my head with stuff. Cliff Jumping is more body centered and less outcome-oriented.”
“Let me just say, "WOW!" I just received the CD's & workbooks and haven't listened to or read a thing yet, but my oh my are they stunning to look at! Really well done visually, so I can only imagine how great the actual product is!!!”
“As a direct result of listening to CJ I made a move at work to cut the cord with one of my patients whom I have been seeing for 2 years now. I've been thinking about it for a year, but I finally got the nerve. I'm staying strong this time even though this person is putting up all kinds of fuss, crying, threats, and calls to my manager (who fortunately agrees with me.) I'm noticing that if I concentrate on feeling solid and confident in my core, that it really does make a difference; whereas before, I would have let my emotions rule and just felt terrible, caved in, and let her keep coming forever.”
“My husband and I did this as a way of jump starting our lives and our relationship. It has helped us in many areas already.”
“The CD's and workbook...absolutely awesome! I never really appreciate how exhilarating the refresher is until I'm being refreshed! It is the best pick-me-up and put-me-on-the-right-track every day...any day!!!”
“Powerful, mind expanding training to do on your own schedule. The workbook included is very helpful. We cannot wait to get to the next section. “
Heartfelt thanks to All who are enjoying and using the Program!
With Enthusiasm for YOU,
Lucy Morris and Paula Sellars
