  • The road to success

    The challenges, difficulties and delays that we encounter allow us to discover the strength we have within ourselves. Each time we rise above the stories of the mind and take conscious, decisive action, we release a layer of doubt. Over the course of a lifetime, the successes and breakthroughs create a new paradigm.

    When faced with a challenge, remind yourself that you are always completely loved and supported by the Divine. Know that every situation has the ability to teach you more of your own divinity and potential. Not only can you overcome all obstacles, in the process you will also discover new facets of yourself.

    When things are easy we don\’t search for answers, seek assistance or take the time to examine limiting beliefs. The gifts that life brings us are often wrapped in a challenging situation. Knowing this can shift how you view obstacles – they are not impediments on your journey, they are the journey. We can set the tone for our experiences by choosing to start each day with gratitude and intention, your words, thoughts and actions carry great power and momentum. Choose wisely.

    Today my intention is to visualize the end result, set my intentions and consciously walk forward.

  • Unlimited movement

    All of life\’s experiences have brought you here to this moment. As we discover our inner mastery, we step into the realm of unlimited movement with the knowledge that energy can flow in any direction. No matter where you are on the journey, take a moment to observe your how far you have come. Life mirrors what is happening within us and the more centered and expansive we become, the less we are affected by externals.

    The springtime of spiritual awakening is a beautiful thing to watch. We share our light, our gifts and insights and bring a new sense of wonder to the present moment. Now is a very precious time filled with depth, peace and understanding and now is the time to come home to yourself.

    Visualize beautiful light and energy forming around a thought. See it expand and take on a life of its own as it flows out into the Universe, sparkles of joy merging with the life-force and love of the Divine… how big can it get? How far can it go? Change is all around us; however, the stillness and limitless potential remains the same.

    Today my intention is to teach by example. I can be the change I wish to see.

     

  • The message of butterfly

    I am in the midst of transformation and change, manifesting a new space and all that entails. Yesterday, Butterfly came to my side and together we sat in the sun. She spread her beautiful wings and even allowed me to pet the soft downy hair of them several times during our moments together. This little messenger of spirit is a reminder that change and joy are just around the corner. Her colors – black, orange and white – represent mystery and magic, energy, joy and purity and in that moment I was reminded that I am supported and loved each step of the way.

    Butterflies teach us not to take ourselves too seriously. They awaken a childlike sense of wonder and lightness, sharing the message that life is a dance and all the more powerful when we take pleasure in the small things.

    Today my intention is to lighten up, look for change and enjoy the transition.

  • Solitude and celebration

    Love is possible only when you are fearless. In the silence of stillness we can discover our own inner potential, beauty and ability to love. The human condition prompts us to seek out one another – to engage in lessons, contrasts, support, connection and communion – but when we base our joy upon others for fulfillment, we begin to block the flow the authentic flow of love. Create a silent space within you where love can reside. Let it be filled with innocence and wonder, awe and clarity. In that space, the concept of \”I\” disappears and we become more aware of the spark of the Divine within us.

    Discover the beauty in the moments of solitude, the freedom of it, the purity of it, and choose to become one with all that you see… the wildness of spring, the smile of a dog, the purr of a kitty, the caress of a breeze… interactions are sacred when we approach each moment with this sense of openness and possibility.

    Today my intention is to dance with the Divine, be open to love and accept what is.

  • Inspiration, motivation and transformation

    Life is meant to be a constant process of growth and experience… each moment shedding old layers of limitation and belief while discovering new facets of our divine potential. The transformation of suffering into something empowering and beautiful begins with the ability to see the necessity of opposites. In darkness, we discover the magnificence of the light. We walk through shadows, facing fear and limitation, only to emerge transformed and courageous. Once we learn that all things participate together for the sole purpose of our growth, we can more easily move into a state of acceptance.

    Sometimes you have to be who you aren\’t in order to discover who you are – this is also the dance of opposite polarities. Each side of the coin serves a purpose and one cannot exist without the other. The beauty is in the contrast. Accept all aspects of life as part of the human experience and become a loving witness.

    As the observer, you will remain able to see objectively, experience the present moment consciously and process new information and insight. This is an important aspect of spiritual growth. It\’s important to ensure that we don\’t begin to identify with the judgments, stories or absorb the suffering – instead, we simply seek bliss now from wherever we are with what we have and move forward from there.

    Today my intention is to embrace change. This is the moment of transformation.

  • Detached compassion

    Sometimes love means allowing others to learn from their own suffering rather than trying to take the suffering away. We all learn our greatest lessons from the challenges in our lives, and the misguided desire to save someone pain can actually prolong it. The struggles of the world awaken empathy within us and allow us to relate to others. When you witness someone caught in the distress and frustration of an inner struggle, remembering that their soul is engaged in profound growth may help you to judge them less.

    The greatest gifts that you can give another are kindness and acceptance. Our role is to create a space in which a transformation can occur – this is how you assist those you love. In the silence of the heart, love whispers. Spiritual work is possible Now – notice whatever arises and choose to see the value in it. Let life guide you through the layers of perception and repeatedly seek to expand into love.

    Today my intention is to remember that we all walk the transformative path to freedom.

  • Divine power within you

    The source of all love and light resides within you. It does not ebb and flow, it simply waits with patience ready to be of service. When you feel drained, all that is required is that you go within to tap into this energy. It fires the imagination, expands with intention and allows you to be one with life. Seek the Divine within yourself, seek it within others and experience it within the miracle of growth, death and rebirth.

    When aligned with the power of Now, everything is transformed. You become the alchemist whose awareness changes energy into light, love, compassion and creativity as your divine potential is expressed.

    Whatever you choose to do, do it mindfully – completely aware and fully present. This allows you  to experience life spontaneously without projections or expectation because all of your attention is involved in the experience itself rather than in the thoughts about it.

    Today my intention is to remember that this moment is a dance with the Divine.

  • Fear and the ego

    Fear is the created by the perception that one is alone and disconnected from the Divine. All fear is generated by the ego – that little voice in the head which creates the images and thoughts of worst case scenarios – and it blocks us from experiencing all the beauty and potential that the moment has to offer.

    There is no need to prove anything and we can detach from fear by reminding ourselves that everything works toward our highest good (regardless of how it appears) and all that you need is already within you. Since fear and love cannot coexist, as you release fearful thoughts, love enters.

    When you wish to manifest transformation in your life, seek the joy in the present moment. Practice gratitude and you will become a magnet for more things for which to be grateful. All the energy that you send out into the world returns to unexpected ways.

    Let each day simply be a walking meditation, a communion with the Divine and seek that connection within each and every interaction. Blessings await!

    Today my intention is to move beyond limited human thinking and live in alignment with the Divine where all things are possible.

  • The power of unconditional love

    Unconditional love frees us from hatred and violence because judgment and love cannot coexist in the same space. Each and every time that we make the conscious choice to show love, we step into empowerment and begin to create a new reality. In every situation, you can ask yourself, \”How can I present the best version of myself in this moment?\” The answer is always found in love.

    To access the realms of acceptance, compassion, kindness and love, we must first cultivate those qualities within ourselves. All life is a reflection of what is occurring on the inner. Think of the joy you experience in those moments of freedom – freedom from self sabotage, limiting thoughts, doubt, anxiety or fear – and know that you can absolutely live in the frequency of love right now if you choose.

    Experience the joy that comes from living in conscious partnership with the Divine. Be the change that you wish to see and honor each step of the path as sacred. You are a master in the process of awakening.

    Today my intention is to be gentle and kind with myself as I grow and change.

  • Beyond Illusion

    No matter how long one walks in the dark, illumination is always at hand. The only goal of human existence is to awaken to who we truly are and each of us must ultimately walk the journey alone. Release the things which bring stress to your experience. When you find yourself juggling too many tasks at once, struggling to please those around you or placing excessive demands upon yourself, recognize that you have the ability to shift the energy. Beyond the illusion lies the peace and silence of your inner wisdom.

    The emerging freedom will allow you to be as a butterfly releasing from the cocoon – forever transformed with new and exciting aspects of life to explore. Be willing to release any patterns within yourself that have created limitation in your life. The natural progression of spiritual awakening will allow you to navigate the journey in a way that is wholly unique.

    Today my intention is to remember that whatever I need to know will be revealed to me at the perfect time.
