Expand into a new way of being.

Challenges arise to assist us in our spiritual growth. They originate from limiting thought patterns, judgment, fear or anger – often growing larger due to others who are willing to participate in the drama. It is often from this space of confusion and dysfunction that we attempt to correct the situation… and therein lies the mental trap. We must first focus on creating inner balance and shifting our awareness to a higher level. From there, perceptions change, new solutions are discovered and the power of love enters.

There is a purpose behind every circumstance. Sometimes clear, sometimes murky, but always, ultimately a beautiful coordinated movement of consciousness which is attempting to manifest in the present moment. Seek to bring the best aspects of yourself to every situation. When you are willing to slow down, become aware and approach this moment with compassion, everything changes.

Perfection. Acceptance. Allowing…

In the tapestry of existence, we learn to see the beauty in all things, in all people and in all circumstances. As we release our limiting opinions of others, the patterns begin to make sense. The perfection lies within the perceived imperfection.

The way we approach one another is a reflection of our current state of consciousness. You can choose to see through the mechanisms of the mind to uncover the knowledge your soul requires in this moment. Ultimately, all roads are one and there is nothing to be gained by resisting or judging one another.

Seek to see the grace and unique beauty in everyone with whom you come in contact today. Observe what arises. Listen without thought. See with acceptance. Everyone and everything is a teacher.

Allow others the space and time to make their own discoveries.

Everyone has their own path. Unless they specifically ask for your direction and guidance, leave your friends and family alone as they embark upon the path of enlightenment (or not). It can sometimes be difficult to watch those you love as they struggle; however, forcing new information or perspectives too soon can cause the ego to engage and create additional blockages.

Let your life be the light that inspires others. The quiet grace of living with intention and kindness can be a powerful tool for expansion. When the student is ready, the teacher appears, the soul opens to new perception and transformation can occur in an instant.

The joy of awakening is unique for each of us. Be willing to act with integrity, do your best and accept what is. Worlds of discovery await.

What we choose to embrace, we become.

Surround yourself with things that enhance the beauty of your life. Since everything emits energy, it\’s helpful to be aware of what we choose to have in our experience. Wherever your attention goes, energy flows.

Your spiritual awareness is affected by everything you pay attention to. Those who fill their day with seemingly insignificant bits of negativity – watching the \”news\”, participating in judgment, gossip, worry, fear, etc., – create a perception of helplessness and fatigue. Pay attention and make choices that support your joy throughout the day. Layer upon layer of positive and nurturing experiences create a sense of serene inner peace.

Awareness itself has a way of altering events. When we step into the role of observer, we detach from the mind\’s limited interpretations and are able to see more clearly.

Consciously approach this moment as sacred. What will you choose to talk about? How will you speak? What will you bring to share? What will you place into your body?

Sometimes you have to be who you aren\’t in order to discover who you are.

Accepting yourself is empowering. Consider the idea that you purposely set up the blueprint of your life by choosing your parents, body type, personality, lessons, talents and passions. There is great joy to be discovered by recognizing the beauty and perfection of who you are and fully embracing yourself with love.

This may be the reason why so many people enjoy delving into the various systems we have of analyzing the tapestry we create together such as astrology, numerology, the Michael Teachings, personality types, etc. When you discover your traits and tendencies in print, it can allow another piece of the puzzle to fall into place and lead you further down the road to acceptance.

Too many try to please others rather than live in their truth. Living authentically allows you to have more to give to those you love. Stillness comes from this beautiful sense of inner peace and purpose. You\’ll know that you\’re on the right track when you embrace your uniqueness and joyfully share your gifts.

Life is quite simply this:  interconnected, continuous, transformative movement.

Whether your life situation is challenging or beautiful, remember that \”This too shall pass.\” Life, by it\’s literal definition, is the process of adapting to change that occurs internally. The human condition is an experience that we choose and all aspects of it have great beauty to share.

Be open and receptive to change. Collectively, we are often in the process of upheaval and discovery, and it\’s in those moments that a sense of inner peace is paramount. There is nothing more important than your state of consciousness. Energy emits from every thought, word and action and flows through us out into the world, only to return in the form of experience.

You have the ability to choose how you wish to respond to life. When you are conscious of the ebb and flow of constant change, it becomes easier to rise above the events and see more clearly.

The point of power is always in the present moment.

Worry about the future or regret about the past destroy the only thing that truly matters – the Now. We are given this wonderful opportunity to learn, love and live in the present moment, yet it\’s amazing how something as seemingly intangible as a thought can suck the life-force and joy from our experience.

Your thoughts have power. They dictate your next action and expectation. Worry leads to inaction, procrastination or hesitancy and robs you of your strength.

If you should observe your mind turning to worry, notice, shift your thoughts to something more productive in the present moment and take some kind of action. Conscious movement can often break you free of the limiting energy of doubt.

Trust the processes of life. Whether the worry is for yourself, someone you love or for the state of the world, recognize that it is a waste of your precious energy. We all (personally and collectively) create the lessons that are required for our awakening, and thankfully, we also have the strength and ability to break free of the shadows of the mind to emerge into the light of courageousness.

What are you creating?

Your words have power. Use them consciously to create the life of your dreams. Each moment provides an opportunity to discover new facets of yourself.

Celebrate the process of your awakening. The energy of \”I Am\” makes you a powerful co-creator on the Path of Transformation. Seek to expand your experience with a positive, powerful and mindful \”I Am\”.
