Awakening Acts

Sandra Ingerman shares her wisdom

Most of us were taught that healing and change come from thinking harder, analyzing more, or trying to “figure things out.” This is the mind doing what it knows how to do. But the mind is not where true transformation begins.
Perception shifts when we learn to listen beyond the ego, beyond the part of us that sees life through separation, fear, and control. The spiritual part of ourselves already knows how to heal. It knows how to transmute old beliefs, habitual thoughts, and emotional patterns that quietly shape the reality we experience.

Changing perception is not an intellectual act. It requires intention, diligence, and compassion. Every shift in consciousness asks us to let go of an old identity before we can step into a new one. And when that doorway appears, the ego often stands guard, offering doubt, resistance, and fear.

Do not abandon the work when this happens.

Instead, return gently to your practices. Begin your day by setting an intention to see through the eyes of Spirit. Throughout the day, notice when your perception contracts and choose again. In the evening, reflect and allow the day to be transmuted.

This…

Meet Aloka — The Peace Dog 🐾

This isn’t just an image of a dog standing still.
It’s a living story of light, loyalty, and love in motion.
A quiet reminder of what compassion looks like when it has a heartbeat.

Aloka’s name means Light — and he carries it softly, not to be seen, but to guide.
Born an Indian Pariah, once invisible on the roadside, he was never rescued in the way we imagine.
He chose his path.
Not comfort.
Not safety.
Not praise.
But purpose.

At just four years old, Aloka has already walked thousands of miles — across scorching heat and bone-biting cold, through illness, aching paws, mountains, rivers, and days that offered no certainty of rest.
He didn’t walk for treats or commands.
He walked because the ones he loved were walking.
Because real love doesn’t negotiate.
It stays.

🐾 That heart-shaped mark on his head?
Not an accident.
A quiet truth: peace always begins in the heart.

👀 Those calm, luminous eyes?
They don’t judge.
They don’t hurry.
They ask nothing — yet invite everything: patience, softness, a gentler way of being.

🐕 Those feet?
They carry a message louder than noise ever could:
Strength doesn’t shout.
Courage doesn’t intimidate.
Commitment doesn’t abandon the path halfway.

Even in simple, playful clothes, Aloka remains untouched by ego — teaching us that humility isn’t about lacking things, but about moving through life without harming it.

💛 His loyalty is his prayer.
Through pain, fatigue, and silence, he stayed beside the monks — not because he was trained, but because his heart knew belonging.

Aloka doesn’t explain peace.
He embodies it.
Step by step.
Breath by breath.
Mile by mile.

And in his quiet presence, he reminds us of something we often forget:
The purest teachers rarely speak.
Sometimes, they walk on four legs —
and ask for nothing in return.

May we learn from Aloka —
To remain when it’s difficult.
To walk gently through a harsh world.
To choose compassion even when no one is watching.

Because sometimes, the brightest light on the road to peace…
has paws. 🐾✨

Perfect description of awakening!

One of the greatest awakenings in life comes quietly. It arrives the moment you finally understand that not everybody is going to change. No matter how much love you give. No matter how patient you are. No matter how clearly you explain yourself. Some people stay exactly where they are, holding on to old habits, old mindsets, and old wounds. And that realization can feel heavy at first.

For a long time, many of us believe it is our responsibility to help others grow. We think that if we just say the right words or show them enough care, they will eventually see what we see. We invest our energy, our time, and sometimes our peace, trying to pull people forward with us. But growth does not work that way. Change only happens when someone decides they are ready. You cannot force awareness into someone who is comfortable in their ignorance. You cannot drag someone into healing when they are not willing to face themselves.

Understanding this is not cruelty. It is clarity. Their journey is their own. Their lessons, their timing, their resistance, all belong to them. It is not your job to fix them. It is not your duty to carry their emotional weight. And it is not selfish to step back when you realize that staying only keeps you stuck.

There is a quiet power in letting go of the need to save everyone. When you stop trying to change people, you free yourself. You create space to grow, to heal, and to become who you are meant to be. You learn that love does not mean self sacrifice to the point of self destruction. Sometimes love means acceptance. And sometimes acceptance means distance.

Not everyone will walk with you into your next chapter. Some will remain in the same place, repeating the same cycles, telling the same stories. And that is okay. You are allowed to move forward without guilt. You are allowed to choose peace over potential. You are allowed to honor your own journey without waiting for others to catch up.

The awakening is not about giving up on people. It is about choosing yourself. It is about knowing when to stop pouring into cups that refuse to be filled. Growth is personal. Healing is personal. Change is personal. And once you understand that, life becomes lighter, clearer, and far more honest.✅

Walk through this with love🙏

Message from White Eagle, Hopi:

“This moment humanity is going through can now be seen as a portal and as a hole.

The decision to fall into the hole or go through the portal is up to you.

If you repent of the problem and consume the news 24 hours a day, with little energy, nervous all the time, with pessimism, you will fall into the hole. But if you take this opportunity to look at yourself, rethink life and death, take care of yourself and others, you will cross the portal.

Take care of your homes, take care of your body. Connect with your spiritual House.

When you are taking care of yourselves, you are taking care of everything else. Do not lose the spiritual dimension of this crisis, have the eagle aspect, that from above, and see the whole; see more broadly.

There is a social demand in this crisis, but there is also a spiritual demand. The two go hand in hand. Without the social dimension, we fall into fanaticism. But without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and lack of meaning.

You were prepared to go through this crisis. Take your toolbox and use all the tools available to you.

Learn about resistance of the indigenous and African peoples: we have always been and continue to be exterminated. But we still haven't stopped singing, dancing, lighting a fire and having fun. Don't feel guilty about being happy during this difficult time.
You do not help at all being sad and without energy. You help if good things emanate from the Universe now. It is through joy that one resists. Also, when the storm passes, each of you will be very important in the reconstruction of this new world.

You need to be well and strong. And, for that, there is no other way than to maintain a beautiful, happy and bright vibration. This has nothing to do with alienation.

This is a resistance strategy. In shamanism, there is a rite of passage called the quest for vision. You spend a few days alone in the forest, without water, without food, without protection. When you cross this portal, you get a new vision of the world, because you have faced your fears, your difficulties ...

This is what is asked of you:

Allow yourself to take advantage of this time to perform your vision seeking rituals. What world do you want to build for you? For now, this is what you can do: serenity in the storm. Calm down, pray every day. Establish a routine to meet the sacred every day.
Good things emanate; what you emanate now is the most important thing. And sing, dance, resist through art, joy, faith and love. "

Resist - Be reborn

Renewal, courage and wonder♥️

This blessing honors New Year’s Day as a sacred threshold, acknowledging the breath, lessons, ancestors, and community that accompany us into a new cycle. It invites renewal, courage, and wonder as guiding practices for the year ahead, framing love as the steady thread that leads us from one unfolding moment to the next. Its significance lies in grounding the turning of the year not in resolutions, but in relationship, to self, kin, spirit, and the path yet to come.

“On this first dawn of the year,
we honor the breath that carries us forward,
the lessons the old year placed in our hands,
the ancestors whose wisdom still lights our path,
and the circle of kin and kindred who walk beside us now.
May renewal be our prayer,
may courage be our practice,
may wonder be our medicine,
and may love be the thread that guides us,
from threshold to threshold,
from dream to dawn.”

So true

Chaos often comes before clarity.
When life shakes you, it can feel cruel and unfair. Everything you trusted may seem to fall apart at once—plans, relationships, certainty, even your sense of self. But storms are not sent to destroy you.

They arrive to rebuild you.

Every storm strips away what was weak, false, or no longer aligned with who you are becoming. It forces you to let go of illusions, comforts, and attachments that were quietly holding you back. What remains after the storm is not less—it is truer.

🌧️ Storms don’t come to stay.
They come to pass.

They wash away what no longer serves you.
They clear the path you couldn’t see before.
They teach you resilience, patience, and trust in yourself.

In the middle of the storm, all you can do is endure.
After the storm, you understand.

You see what really matters.
You see who really matters.
You see how strong you actually are.

So when life feels chaotic, remember this:
clarity is forming beneath the noise.
Growth is happening beneath the struggle.

Hold on. Breathe. Stay grounded.

🌱 Every storm leaves the ground cleaner, the air clearer, and the roots deeper.

And so do you.

Ask Mother Earth and the Ancestors to bless you

This blessing asks the ancestors and the living earth to cradle you during the final days of the year, easing burdens that have settled in your body and rekindling warmth where your spirit has felt chilled. It also invites subtle, soul-level blessings, carried by moonlight, animal messengers, and the deep stillness of winter to arrive gently and support your renewal.

“May the last week of the year
be held by the ancestors and the earth, soften what’s been heavy in your bones, warm what’s been cold in your spirit, and bring quiet blessings carried by moonlight, owl wings, and the stillness of winter roots.”
