Patience

Trust that everything will unfold in the perfect way at the perfect time.

“We live in an infinite Universe. There will be enough time to fit everything in.”

When you are fully engaged in the present moment, time stops. Suddenly the energy flows differently. All that is heard, felt and experienced has greater impact because your total awareness is immersed deeply within the Now.

Conversely, when the mind takes control through worry, doubt, excessive thought and confusion, it seems that there is not enough time to accomplish everything that you believe needs to be done. Precious energy is then dispersed in a million different directions and dissipates without truly engaging the power of the Universe.

Life will always present the opportunities, experiences and circumstances that best serve your growth. Pay attention, keep yourself balanced and then step into that flow with a sense of patience and stillness.

Today my intention is to remember that all that I need is already here.

Believe

You are in the midst of a great awakening.

“Today I am willing to accept a miracle.”

Choose one thing today and immerse yourself within it. Treat yourself to a new book. Take time to recharge. Explore your creativity. Listen. No matter what you choose to do, approach it without expectation and simply allow something different to arise within your experience.

Willingness is the key. When we allow new energy to flow, we are transformed. This is the beginning of a new phase of awakening; ask the Divine for enlightenment. A new perspective or inspiration is waiting to find its way into your consciousness and it’s up to you to be willing to receive.

Expect your life to be filled with amazing experiences, people, insights and opportunities. You will then bring meaning and momentum to a life filled with infinite potential.

There are facets of you that are waiting to be revealed. Releasing old beliefs and habits will free you to embark upon this epic journey of self-discovery.
Today I am willing to align myself with a new mission and purpose.

Mindfulness

Bring mindfulness to the present moment.

“Talking a lot about something that bothers you is a clear sign you’ve got something huge to learn, unrelated to ‘the thing’.”
~The Universe~

Observe how often the mind prompt you to talk about things it doesn’t like – politics, family drama, the weather, challenges – and choose instead to be mindful and quiet. Honor whatever arises; however, instead of feeding the negativity, seek to go within in that moment. The ego loves to create distraction whenever profound growth is possible.

Invariably, that gentle moment of awareness will steer you into an empowering and beautiful new direction. Recognize that you have the power to create any experience you like and consciously control what you choose to put out into the world.

When you learn to see beyond the mechanisms of the mind, the spiritual insights are in harmony with life itself. They are rooted in the deep stillness of your true being. You are here to discover your infinite beauty and potential and no matter how much you’ve learned so far, remember that you have barely scratched the surface.
Today my intention is to create a space in which a transformation can occur.

Breakthrough

Breakthrough

Anything can spark a breakthrough…

“Allow yourself to take the risk of shattering the old patterns and limitation that have kept your energy from flowing.”
~Osho~

Living consciously is the greatest adventure that life has to offer. When you bring awareness to your life experience, anything can spark a breakthrough. Something as unexpected as a chance encounter, vivid dream, new insight or an unexpected “aha” moment can change everything.

There are places where your life-path can diverge from repetitive beliefs and behavior into a whole new area of experience. Consciously facing a dark night of the soul allows us to emerge into the light with a new level of courage and a higher perspective. Old structures disappear as we shed the weight of old beliefs.
When you reach a point of inner despair, resistance or darkness, it indicates that something profound is getting ready to happen. Push through, keep moving forward. You may be surprised at the power that flows through your life when you are willing to create a space where a transformation can occur.
Today my intention is to expect the very best. 

Let your life be your message

We are One.
“All of life is a circle or spiral of experience, and no point on the circle is better than any other.”
~From Michael, the Basic Teachings~
In judgment, we believe that the other person should “know better” and demand that they have greater self-awareness; however, it’s important to remember that each of us is doing the best that we can based upon our level of consciousness. As we evolve, our perception expands and we choose to act far differently than we did when we were asleep.

There are five different soul ages:
Infant – learning about basic survival
Baby – needs rules, religion, structure, sees things in black and white
Young – seeks to explore power, control, greed, skeptical about science
Mature –  seeks to develop compassion and focuses on healing family, community and the planet, lots of drama
Old – attention turns toward spiritual growth, detaches from drama and begins to teach others. The last lesson that we master is unconditional love for self and others

It makes no sense to expect a young soul to understand the importance of love and compassion. They have not yet had the experiences or spiritual growth to make that possible. Similarly, one wouldn’t expect a sixth grader to suddenly understand calculus. Instead, we would assist in teaching fundamentals and lovingly support them throughout
their level of learning with the knowledge that they will explore higher levels of knowledge later.
Before you can accept others, you must learn to accept yourself. Always begin within. It’s important to remember that all paths are valid and play a role in our collective soul development, regardless of how it may appear. We are all just walking one another home.
Today my intention is to let my life be my message. 

Be led by joy

Your purpose is to awaken.

“The heart that seeks to awaken, to live genuinely, is more real than anything. That nameless drive calls you to be who you must truly are.”
~Ezra Bayda~

How can you live authentically when you postpone your joy? Happiness is your birthright, your path and your mojo. The path to wholeness calls upon us to bring conscious awareness to our choices. It’s important to be led by joy and enthusiasm rather than fear or the “shoulds” created by self-judgment.

One has greater success when they are passionate about life, work, love, friendships, art, awakening, nature… anything! Rather than trying to fit into a mold created by society or family, ask yourself what you have to offer and what inspires you. Then open to it and see where you are led.

When considering changes, seek to expand rather than seeking the known and be willing to explore new aspects of yourself in the process. If you believe that you can’t be happy until life falls into place, you’re approaching change and manifestation backwards. Happiness comes first, then you’ll draw in the people, circumstances and experiences that will lead you forward in amazing ways.
Today my intention is to open to life. There is always something new to discover.

We are surrounded by miracles

Energy never ends. It simply changes form naturally and effortlessly.

“What happens when we slow down and pay attention? Everything! Innumerable delights are right at hand.”
~Ezra Bayda~

Life is filled with gifts. Sometimes presented as simple beauty, sometimes arriving in the guise of hardship, the miracles of life awaken a sense of the Infinite within us. Take time to look at the world around you through the eyes of love. Recognize how contrasts work together to keep balance in the world. We must have darkness in order to discover the beauty of light.

Bringing a gentle awareness to the heart allows us to recognize the sacred in everyone and everything. The key to spiritual transformation is the willingness to be at ease in the physical experience of your life. Resist nothing; rather, operate with the knowledge that everything blends together perfectly as part of our collective awakening.

Today my intention is honor everyone and everything as my teacher.

The quieter you become…

Give yourself a moment of peace.
“Those who know do not talk.
Those who talk do not know.”

~Lao Tzu~
Be still and listen. Bring your full awareness to this moment without any mental commentary and become
One With Life. Here, in this place of stillness, you can access your own inner wisdom. This simple exercise is the beginning of mindfulness.

Observe how often the mind will attempt to intervene with its meaningless thoughts. They seem to run on an endless loop, distracting and often disrupting the grace we seek; however, underneath it all is the infinite, calming peace of the Infinite.

In our busy, multi-tasking world its important for each of us to find our unique way of staying balanced. In stillness, we discover a vast reservoir of energy that replenishes our soul. Throughout the day, give yourself time to be fully present, breathe and re-connect. This simple act of self-love will allow you to bring the best version of yourself to any situation.
Today my intention is to live in a place of silent knowing. 

Reclaim your magic

Road in magic dark forest

Enthusiasm and passion are awakened when we fully participate in the dance of existence.

“When you quit believing in the magic of life, you get a life without magic.”
~Bryant McGill~

You are connected to all of existence. Seek to fill your life with joy, passion and enthusiasm. This intensity will allow you to immerse yourself into the flow of life and experience the sparkling mystery that awaits.

Imagine that every word you speak is sending energy out into the Universe to do your bidding. Imagine happiness is possible right now, no matter your circumstance. Discover the liberating experience of empowerment and personal responsibility and tend to your own state of consciousness by allowing this moment to be a loving conversation with the Divine.

Today is filled with infinite possibility. Begin something new. Discard old energy and embrace whatever brings you joy.
Today my intention is to dance in the rain. 

Life is the journey

It is said that love is the destination and life is the journey…

“The healthiest response to life is laughter from the heart, and even in the face of global turmoil, we can cultivate an internal sense of optimism.”
~From Why is God laughing? by Deepak Chopra~

You have a unique way of being in the world. Honor it simply by being yourself. Your style, perception, grace and laughter spark a new energy in our awakening consciousness. Everything in your experience is filled with infinite potential – what will you choose to create?
Remember that what you see in the physical world is often the exact opposite of what is occurring in the spiritual world. Look deeper. If you ego clamors for reactive patterns or worry, strive to do the opposite. This will allow you to transform challenges into your strength.
Gratitude will always create a flow of positive energy in your experience. It takes us from victimhood to empowerment. You are right where you need to be. You are safe, supported, loved and guided each and every step of the way. It’s time to reclaim your freedom – the freedom to thrive.
Today my intention is to love.
