This essay focuses primarily on Avila's own 16th century writings
translated from the Spanish from her autobiography. Supplemental material
came from Teresa of Avila's later work, articles from the internet,
The Stormy Search for the Self and,
Touched With Fire: Manic Depressive Illness and
the Artistic Temperament. A comparison of the content of these texts
and articles shows the close relationship between the Christian mystical
experiences of Teresa of Avila and the shamanic journey in many other
cultures throughout history and the artistic and ingenious personalities of
some of those people suffering from mental illness.

For many years there has been a calling within me to connect deeply to the
Earth. As a child I spent hours walking in nature every day, immersed in a
sensory communion that flooded me with well-being and assistance. I took
that merging for granted. I don't anymore. Now after decades of other jobs I
am able to truly heed the call to return to my childhood way of life: living
in alignment with nature, actively using my skills as an Earth Intuitive and
Earth Energy Worker.
Meditations with
Teresa of Avila
Edited by Megan Don
Teresa struggled enormously with her dichotomous life, that is, with her
desire for the Beloved on the one hand and her enjoyment of life's pleasures
on the other. Teresa was not naive, however, and she was perfectly aware
that the Beloved works in and through the world. It was the attachment to
the ways of the world that concerned her, the desire for her senses to be
satiated through the pleasures of personal attention and recognition. Even
though she was ostensibly doing the Beloved's work, she knew that she was
erroneously claiming the credit.

Outside of Hollywood and Hogwarts, the idea of a multiple universe reality seems rather ludicrous if you think about it. After all, the universe includes the totality of space and time and energy and physical constants and dogs and, yes, even teenagers. It's such an all?inclusive definition that it's hard to imagine that there's more to things. How, then, can there be multiple universes?

My husband, Ehud, and I were married in India fifteen years ago, on February 22, 1996. During our traditional Hindu wedding ceremony, we walked around a sacred fire seven times and took a vow that for seven lifetimes we would give each other nourishment, strength, prosperity, happiness, progeny, long life, harmony, and understanding. These vows were pledged according to Vedic tradition, with priests, family and friends, and the fire god Agni as witnesses. Although no prenuptial agreements and marriage contracts were signed to authenticate the process, our vows are binding forever; according to Hindu tradition, there is no way to break these sacred vows--not just in this lifetime, but in seven lifetimes.

Today, more people than ever are thinking of making a life change, reinventing
themselves to live more vibrantly, healthfully and creatively -- especially in
the latter years of their lives.
Becoming a life change artist involves the same skills and creative process that
great artists use in their work. To sustain a creative body of work, great
artists have seven creative skills in common: Preparation for creative insight,
seeing (connections and possibilities), using context, embracing uncertainty,
risk taking, discipline, collaboration (engaging with others).
