Wholeness is coming home to yourself. Spirituality is meant to bring magic back into your life. There are many paths to awakening – choose the one that brings you the greatest joy, and then support others in their joy.

When life becomes a drudgery, judgment arises. Self-criticism and frustration block us from recognizing the beauty that surrounds us. It’s important to keep playfulness in your outlook and experience. Laughter enriches the soul and is a powerful expression of the Divine.

Find awakening in your life as it is, for you are right where you need to be. Acceptance draws in the circumstances, experiences and  synchronicities that are in alignment with your joyful, expectant, optimistic attitude.

“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. I recognize my body as a good friend. Each cell in my body has Divine Intelligence. I listen to what it tells me and know that its advice is valid.”
~Louise Hay~ 

Part of the awakened spiritual experience is to consciously work in cooperation with your physical body. It is the vehicle through which you experience life and is a sacred expression of the Divine. Learn to tune in and observe what you are feeling. Any pain or tension has a message. You may be releasing old toxins, have an imbalance in your energy field or feeling a wound from a past life that may be bleeding through into this lifetime (sometimes experienced as a pain without cause or an “incurable” disease).

Conscious breathing can allow you to access your inner wisdom. Once you sit with whatever you’re experiencing and listen to the messages of the heart, you may be surprised to discover the gift that is being offered.

What becomes possible when you pay attention? Everything. See your life as a constant dialog with the Divine.

“A life of equanimity and appreciation is lived in the immediacy of the present – not in the mind.”
~Ezra Bayda~ 

Today my intention is to be open to whatever life offers. Every moment and experience supports my journey of awakening.

As an awakening master, you have the ability to observe life from a higher state of consciousness. Practice looking for ways to express love. Challenging people and circumstances can sometimes take more conscious effort; however, the rewards are immeasurable. They allow you to cultivate facets of your soul that would otherwise remain fallow.

Be thankful for everything in your life – the joys and the sorrows – gratitude brings a new quality of empowerment to your life experience. Mastery calls upon us to be living examples of the potential of love. Your Presence has the ability to awaken the Presence in others. This is a gift that you can give those who grace your life.

The Celtic Vows of Friendship can be utilized to ensure that you are approaching your interactions with an open heart. Relationships offer us the opportunity to cultivate the ability to love. Each of us is responsible for our own joy; therefore, honor yourself by bringing mindfulness to your interactions.

The gifts that life has to offer are often beyond our understanding. We broaden our view by bringing an open heart to our meeting places. When you are able to drop preconceived ideas and attachments, the world opens.

If you had no fear, no doubt, no regret, how would you interact with those you love? The Divine seeks only to express itself through you. The gift of grace awaits those who can drop all seriousness and judgment and immerse themselves within the love, light and laughter of the Universe.

“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”
~Rumi~ 

Today my intention is to be authentic.

When creating a healthy, balanced, joyful life, remember to be kind and compassionate to yourself. All too often people give and give until they are burnt out, stressed out and overwhelmed. Your kindness must begin within.

Remember to allow time to recharge. This can be as simply as employing conscious breath throughout the day, taking a walk in the sunshine, mindful eating or meditation. No matter what you choose to do, approach life with joy, enthusiasm or acceptance. If your energy is too depleted to experience one of those three levels of consciousness, it’s time to stop and tend to yourself before you move forward.

Life is unfolding around you with celebration. Be a channel for the love, light and laughter of the Universe. Enjoy your journey. Do what is needed and love yourself enough to bring an open heart to your meeting place.

Often, what we experience on the physical plane is the opposite of what is unfolding energetically on the spiritual place. Someone tests your patience… you find them frustrating. Ultimately you cultivate a sense of grace regarding the situation and find your way back to inner peace. Has this relationship been an obstacle, a curse or a gift that subtly alters your life experience ever after?

Anytime we are ready to heal an old wound or work on breaking free from outmoded patterns, our higher self sends an energetic request out into the Universe. Whoever responds is led by love, no matter how it may appear. Look beyond the roles being played to the blessings that assist you on your unique journey of awakening.

“Don’t worry about what happens after the death of the body; pay attention instead to the ‘deaths within life’ – the times when you are closed in anger, in fear, in protective stances, in resisting the unwanted.”
~Ezra Bayda~ 

You don’t need to be angry in order to create powerful and productive change. Discontentment can be used to initiate a spark which sets new forces in motion; however, only love will ultimately bring about the true transformation you seek.

When you choose to bring an unprotected heart to your interactions, you create the possibility of true communication. Become the observer, the listener, the wise one. The higher your state of consciousness, the more power you emit. This is why the quiet voice of an enlightened one can often catch one who is screaming in anger and righteous judgment off-guard.

Try this: each time you appreciate a beautiful day, see if you can see something different. When you interact with someone you love, honor new facets of the beautiful energy they have to offer. Make a conscious attempt to break free from repetition. Let the new enter your life, be grateful for it, strengthen it and be a loving witness to the changes you set in motion.
