GET UPDATES FROM Toni Emerson
 
Toni is a writer, a speaker and a spiritual activist with over 25 years of experience. She is the creator of The Love Dialogues Series and of the Love Evolution Movement. She has successfully integrated the richness of the inner journey with the delights of the worldly life and enjoys 100 percent of life.

Toni was born in Genova, Italy and raised in Italy and France. At 10 years old, Toni spontaneously experienced a complete state of freedom and Love from innocently asking this simple question: “Who am I, who am I?….” This instinctive inquiry is common to us all. Falling back into the unbounded Love which is our true nature is uncommon, although it is the simplest state of Being. This profound experience set her on a lifelong course to discover and permanently connect with our inner source of unshakable happiness and peace.

After majoring in Philosophy, Toni moved to Manhattan to pursue a fast-paced business career and became a top real estate producer while continuing to study and deepen her understanding of the major spiritual systems by immersing herself in the study of religious texts, scriptures from all traditions, spiritual books from all paths. In 1985, after being diagnosed with a life-threatening chronic disease, Toni met her teacher, Her Holiness Mata Amritanandamayi (known as Amma or “The Hugging Saint”), and embarked on an intense spiritual quest under her direct guidance. Spending eight years on and off at Amma’s side in India, meditating eight hours a day, all the while raising her two children, Toni continues to deepen the experience of unconditional Love and oneness with all.

“Love is the traveler, the destination and the journey. And it is never about us. It just is.”

Her burning desire now is to share this inner joy, the many discoveries made along the way, and empower all to connect to their own source of Love. With boundless enthusiasm and a heart big enough to fit the whole universe, Toni inspires you to start your own journey within, to deepen your experience of Love, and to join her in a transformational Love Evolution!

Grace: The Ultimate Game-Changer

Posted February 27, 2011 | 12:04:00 (EST)

Grace, like love, is not a thing of the mind. It doesn't act upon our demands but appears on its own, unannounced and unexpected. Grace is the benevolent loving sign that life is good again and that we have, for an instant, connected to our source.
One of...

Are You a Love Junkie?

Posted February 16, 2011 | 15:12:00 (EST)

I'd like to thank a commentator on my last post, "Love Is Talking, Are You Listening?" for prompting me to ask this question after he mentioned the "ever-present desperation" with which we look for love. With Valentine's Day behind us, this is the perfect time to take a...
