Essential Skills for a Full and Courageous Life

When you think about personal transformation, do you have a picture of who you want to become? Many of us unconsciously create an idealized image of our "awakened" selves - and in doing so, reveals David Whyte, we undermine both the work and reward of genuine transformation.

On What to Remember When Waking, this celebrated poet and teacher offers wisdom for building the essential disciplines that will see us through the difficulties of our human journey - skills of trust, vulnerability, momentum, and courage in the face of the unknown.

Engage in the Great Conversation That Defines Your Life

Our lives are defined by what David Whyte calls the "great conversation" - a give- and-take relationship between our vision of ourselves and the unfolding mystery of reality. Yet there are many conscious and unconscious ways that we often avoid living at this ever-moving frontier. Do you diminish life by attempting to assign names to everything instead of living more robustly with the unknown? Are you turning a blind eye to the invisible help that is all around you? With penetrating insight and gentle guidance, Whyte illuminates the core competencies that you must build in order to fully engage in the richness that life offers—and to express your true work in the world.

What You Can Plan Is Too Small for You to Live

"We do not always move forward because of the plans we make or the effort we expend," teaches David Whyte. "The conversation itself more often does the true work of transformation." Make sure the conversation is alive and everything takes its place. Combining a teacher's ability to provide practical guidance with a poet's insight into the depths of the human soul, he presents a powerful resource for anyone seeking growth and fulfillment on life's journey with What to Remember When Waking.

DailyOM Course Spotlight

Release Yourself from Family Karma
by Sara Wiseman

Each of us enters this lifetime through the miracle of birth--conceived by humans, pushed into the world through the body of our mother. It's said that we choose our families; that we choose our parents, siblings, cultures, even the time and place we are born into, because our souls have determined that this is where we will learn fastest on our journey of soul growth. Well chosen or not, we are all born into family, lineage, tribe. Now, it would be lovely if the family we've landed into is brimming with nothing but love and light, a continuous feast of honey and roses. However, for many of us this is not the case. In this course, we will take on the task of healing whichever of the seven shadows are present in your family, either now or in the past. This is possible no matter how difficult or painful your family relationships have been. When we work in Universal energy, as you will learn to do in this course, you will learn how to correct and heal the karma of your family s! hadows, both backwards into the past, and forwards into the future.
