We walk in a world filled with wonder.

“I would love to live as a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.”
~John O’Donohue~

We are in the process of discovering our own divinity. As we learn to uncouple from the frantic reactivity of the mind, we create the space in which a transformation can occur. To honor our own sacredness we must celebrate the sacredness which surrounds us.

The journey is one of remembering. As we awaken, we naturally cultivate greater intimacy, connectedness and compassion in our relationship to the earth and to one another. Let life’s magic and grace spark knowledge of the grace within you. When we choose to walk through the world as loving witnesses to its evolving wonder we discover that there is no distance or barrier that keeps us from being Love.

Spend time in solitude, walk in delight and let nature teach you her secrets. It’s time to reclaim the transformative heritage of your soul.

Let passion infuse your talents with purpose.

“Passion is is one great force that unleashes creativity, because if you’re passionate about something, then you’re more willing to take risks.”
~Yo-Yo Ma~

When you view life through the eyes of love, it comes alive in miraculous ways.

“We tend to forget happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.”
~Frederick Keonig~

Let your life be a pleasure trip, a joyous journey of discovery. Appreciation creates a foundation to build upon and the dance of gratitude acts as a magnet that draws in even more beauty into your experience.

Celebrate your existence. You have chosen to be here now for a purpose. If it has yet to make itself known, enjoy the adventure as you experiment, learn and participate in all life has to offer.

Be willing to try new things. Expand beyond your comfort zone. Every moment we are born anew and what we choose today sets the stage for what we’ll create next.

As you change your thoughts, the world around you is transformed.

“Look at a tree, a flower, a plant. Let your awareness rest upon it. How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being. Allow nature to teach you stillness.”
~Eckhart Tolle~

When you bring stillness into your daily experience, you cultivate the ability to see the beauty that is around you and within you. A mind full of thoughts only shows us what we expect to see, while a mind that is still can recognize the gifts of spirit much more easily.

The present moment has secrets to share. Choose to move through it with a sense of wonder and innocence and allow it to bring you into greater awareness.

Friendship allows us to discover who we are in the presence of another.

“A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one’s heart, chaff and grain together knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away.”
~Arabian Proverb~

Many of our closest friendships are the result of lifetimes of interaction. When you meet someone with whom you have an instant connection, it’s likely because you have had many experiences with that soul. Almost instantaneously there is recognition, trust and joy as you settle in to rediscover one another.

Know that these soul contracts hold great value for both of you. You have come together to help one another on the path of awakening and the love you share is infinite. Friendships add an exciting new dimension to our adventure.

Honor those who grace your life by being your authentic self. Allow them to support you and be willing to give of yourself in return.

Today you can choose to take a deep breath, smile, and walk one step forward.

“Every morning we are born again.
What we do today is what matters most.”
~Buddha~

Each day we have an opportunity to discover empowerment by taking personal responsibility for our choices and and how we respond to the challenges we face. Mastery comes from learning how to create peace in the midst of uncertainty. Gratitude opens the heart chakra and quiets the mind, creating space in which a transformation can occur.

In this space of awareness we discover that all things are possible and there is no need to strive or worry. Incremental movements of energy begin to weave a new tapestry of experience, each thread adding something unique to the design of our lives. You are a masterpiece, your life an evolving and beautiful work of art. Step back and view it through the eyes of love.

Mindfulness creates a sacred space that we can access at any time.

“Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything.
And between the two my life flows.”
~Nisargadatta Maharaj~

Conscious energy and love can transform your experience. It’s important to create space in your daily adventures through quiet pauses, meditative breath or immersive enjoyment of all that surrounds you. These moments of deep connection align us with the present moment.

Approach yourself with kindness and patience knowing that all you need is already within you. Seek wholeness in the gaps, in the silences. Divine truth resides underneath life’s turmoil.

Enjoy the beauty and wisdom that you discover on the path of transformation. Don’t be in such a rush to evolve that you neglect to apply what you have discovered to the more mundane aspects of your life. You have one purpose: to explore awakening through the human experience. Begin now, where you are, with what you have.

Your life is a consistent, loving conversation with the Divine.

“The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.”
~Joseph Campbell~

Answers are all around you. When you allow nature to spark a sense of wonder in your heart you begin to process information differently. Within the magic of existence we can dream a new world into being.

Pay attention to the messages that flow into your life. Everything has meaning and often the answers we seek are right in front of us.

We are connected to the Earth and she is connected to us – this connection is a reflection of our relationship to the Self. Everything has something to teach us when we are willing to listen. The lessons of nature can provide the insight you require at the time of the encounter.

When you slow down and observe, you’ll discover that the world around you is the gateway to greater understanding. Allow life itself to be your teacher and companion and honor your inner child by walking in the magical realm of infinite possibility.

Animals or insects that appear often in your experience may be your Nature totems. Learn all that you can about them – their attributes, habits and role in the tapestry of life – and pay attention to messages they have for you.

As you cultivate a reverence for the sacredness of all you see, you’ll create greater empowerment in your own journey. A totem is any object or animal with whom you feel a deep connection. It will choose you and awaken your heart.

Hatred has never been able to dispel hatred. Only love can help us to rise above.

“Neurons that fire together wire together.
You can rewire your brain for higher consciousness
by focusing on love.”
~Deepak Chopra~

When two awakened beings come together, something miraculous occurs. The synergy of harmonious energy begins to transform perception and interpretation as they lift one another to new levels of consciousness. The friendships you attract are meant to take you to higher realms of experience and discovery.

Honor those who grace your life by being willing to learn from them. Everyone has something unique to offer, and whether you share the journey for a lifetime or only for a moment, both of you will be transformed.

Collectively, we are experiencing a paradigm shift. This call to expansion typically occurs when facing a personal catalyst. Therefore, when your soul is ready to explore the next level of consciousness, your higher self will send out an energetic transmission requesting assistance. The resulting connections, experiences and breakthroughs are the gifts that will ultimately lead us home.

Immerse yourself deeply within the present moment.

“Life is not a problem. To look at it as a problem is to take a wrong step. It is a mystery to be lived, loved, experienced.”
~Osho~

Whatever you are experiencing, feel it fully. Lose yourself in the music. Feel passion, stillness, joy, gratitude, bliss… whatever arises, feel it fully. Thought has no place here. It is not a time to make plans or analyze, it is a time to be with what is.

So, dive deeply into whatever the present moment brings. Let the experience of non resistance teach you something new about yourself. Observe what arises. Perhaps you’ll discover that time stops as you find yourself immersed in a dimension of your own making.

Your spiritual practice lies in the human experience. Bring consciousness and awareness into the forefront of your life. Feel more. Laugh more. Love more. To be authentic is to live from the heart.
