Your life experiences change as you are transformed.

“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 bring sacredness to all that I do.

There is a place that you can visit anytime.

“Cleansing by sacred water specifically indicates that your emotional life and your life direction are being purified and healed.”
~Alana Fairchild~ 

You can experience Oneness in a world of difference.

Each of us has access to innate wisdom of lifetimes of experience. Our angels, spirit guides, healing masters and helpers consistently offer support and insight, yet, we often feel alone and confused.

To awaken is to learn how to listen with an open heart. Messages from the ego will cause anxiety and destroy your peace in the present moment, while authentic messages of wisdom will bring grace and empowerment – even in the midst of upheaval.

Find your own unique way of accessing your inner knowledge. Utilize gratitude, meditation, music, silence or be creative. All of life supports you on this journey. Know that you are loved every step of the way.

Today my intention is to be willing to receive love and support from the Universe. All that I need is already here.

Higher consciousness calls upon us to be deeply rooted in the Now.

“Must I fear what others fear?
Should I fear desolation
when there is abundance?
Should I fear darkness
when that light is shining everywhere?”
~Lao Tzu~

(from the Tao te Ching, 20th verse) 

You can bring freedom into your life experience. When you find yourself striving for more or trying to please others at the expense of your own joy, choose instead to relax into the power of the present moment. Set down your burdens. Notice any “what ifs?” that arise – see how they steal your peace?

Be present, move into complete acceptance and see yourself as whole and complete. This empowered choice aligns you with the flow of life. We live in a thriving energy field. Our thoughts and beliefs send waves of energy throughout the Universe, only to have them return in unexpected and beautiful ways.

Act with integrity, do your best, accept what is. Everything unfolds in the way that is most appropriate for your souls evolution. You are a child of light – accept what is offered Now. Imagine having a worry-free existence. That is the gift that awaits you.

Unconscious beliefs can silently run our lives.

“A spiritual teacher is sometimes necessary to help you uncover that one thing you do not wish to see.”
~Ezra Bayda~

Our culture is based upon doing rather than being. Throughout many facets of life, we are taught that we must take some action to fix, achieve, or be productive in order to feel happy and fulfilled.

A life of spiritual practice is often one of opposites. When a challenge arises or when we are triggered, take a moment to simply be with it. Allow yourself to be a loving witness to whatever unfolds in your experience rather than immediately jumping up to fix the problem. After all, it’s purpose has some meaning for your journey.

Remaining present and in a continuing state of acceptance is not passivity or apathy. Quite the opposite, it takes an incredible amount of conscious awareness and discipline to stay deeply centered in the Now – aware, empowered and aligned with grace.

Use the zen practice question, “What is this?” throughout the day and see what you discover.

Today my intention is to observe ways that I obstruct my own sense of peace and consciously bring myself back to a life of Presence.

Have you ever stopped to listen to the symphony of existence?

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.”
~Albert Einstein~  

All of life plays its perfect part in the symphony of your experience. Dedicate a moment today to listen to the song of your heart. The beauty resides within the contrast and in the silences as much as the melody.

Step outside and hear the music of nature. Existence itself sings your name with messages of love. Feel the rhythm and allow it to move your soul. When you find the place where sound and spirit meet, you’ll discover a new depth and breadth of experience.

Become a pure channel for the creative energy of the Universe. Open yourself by learning to embrace periods of silence. Remove all distractions and focus on the beat of your heart and the breath as it fills your lungs. Realize that you are a living, evolving work of art.

Spiritual maturity is the realization of your potential.

“Maturity has nothing to do with your life experiences. It has something to do with you inward journey, experiences of the inner.”
~Osho~  

Presence is achieved by going inward and accessing grace. The ego disappears, the roles and life situations become transparent and only empowered silence remains. When you begin to realize that you are much, much more than the stories of the mind, you have planted the seeds of your own spiritual maturity.

We seek validation from others when existence itself is ready to communicate with us. Go inward and free yourself. The Divine seeks expression through you – allow it to flow without limitation. Be.

Today my intention is to be a living flame of awareness.

Your words create your reality.

“I Am: two of the most powerful words; for what you put after them shapes your reality.”
~Bevan Lee~  

Your words have power. They send energy outward and moment by moment create the reality you experience. Observe your inner dialogue as well as the words that you choose to speak. Are you supportive of yourself? Excited? Passionate? Optimistic?

Many people have wonderful moments of accessing their infinite potential when focused upon gratitude or meditation, only to sabotage later in the day with words of self deprecation. Your thoughts, words and beliefs are constantly setting the stage for what you experience; therefore, it’s important to purposefully consider what you send out in to the world so that you create movement and growth rather than reinforce perceived negative aspects of your journey.

Be gentle with yourself. Know that you are supported and loved and guided each and every step of the way.

Today my intention is to bring a conscious awareness of purpose and empowerment to any “I Am” statements I make.

New experiences bring new beginnings. They offer an opportunity to explore undiscovered aspects of ourselves. Fresh adventures have a unique beauty all their own. When you see your journey as a joy and a celebration, you’ll find that true security comes from a willingness to be fully present within the never-ending expansiveness of life.

Today is a new world filled with infinite possibility. When you meet another, be spontaneous. Listen and let your authentic self shine. Planning creates a rigid sense of expectation and limitation that precludes our ability to trust and express our inner wisdom.

Today my intention is to remember that life has been given to me to celebrate, create and rejoice.

As we change, the world around us is transformed.

Whenever you are faced with a challenging situation you have three choices: change it, leave it or accept it. All transformation begins within. You have the ability to shift any limiting patterns or beliefs and move into conscious empowerment, and that change begins now.

What do you wish to create in your life? Ensure that your choices and words reflect the magic of infinite possibility. Ideas of lack are simply egoic stories that tend to keep us trapped in repetitive patterns. Be willing to expand your current ways of thinking by exploring new expressions of energy and movement.

Your happiness and inspiration will inform the energy that inhabits every cell in the body, every thought and dream. You have the power to set miracles in motion.

Today my intention is to be a living expression of the love, light and laughter of the Universe.
