Joy and gratitude

Gratitude raises your vibration. Focus on what’s working and consciously walk through each day in a state of acceptance and joy… for everything

spring equinoxThat’s Right! Gratitude is the gateway to higher dimensions

Life is filled with limitless potential. You are filled with limitless potential. Why take that infinite power and use it to call up the past? Why fret about tomorrow? Most people live in regret or anticipation because that’s how they were taught to live. The whole world seems trapped by opinion and perception and those who choose to experience the world in another way can sometimes feel misunderstood.

Begin small with daily gratitude. Expand it from the easy, wonderful things in your life to encompass whatever arises. Love your bills. Enjoy preparing and paying your taxes. See challenges as opportunities to shine. Asking these three questions can often open your mind to healthier perception:

1) What is the gift for me in this moment?
2) What am I trying to learn?
3) How can I bring the best version of myself to this situation?

You don’t need to know the answer immediately, simply live the questions and they will open your ability to receive.

The higher your vibration, the easier life flows. The infinite power of the Universe supports you in miraculous ways – always.
 
Today my intention is to open myself to limitless possibility, creating enough room for unexpected gifts from the Divine.

Expand into the unknown

Be willing to explore new ways of being. There is so much more of yourself yet to discover.

That’s Right! I am open and willing to receive the treasures of my own Divine soul

If ever you find yourself trapped by familiar patterns, realize that the whole point of playing in time and space is to experience all that life has to offer. If you have mastered a particular way of being, that’s wonderful, but it’s not the end. There are always new facets to explore.

There is no such thing as failure. In life, we either experience success or learn something new. Every nuance is important. Every experience is sacred. Break out of the norm by consciously taking a risk and seeing what happens.

It’s time to observe how far you have come thus far on the journey of awakening and feel your consciousness expand as you step up to the next level of your divine destiny. Embrace it with all your heart and let yourself align with the new energy.

This is how you allow you’ll come to recognize your own inner wisdom. Ultimately, you’ll find yourself guided into the fullness and expression of your true Divine nature.
 
Today my intention is to be an authentic example of peace, power, growth and transformation

Life is a reflection

All of life is a reflection of my state of consciousness.

That’s Right! As I change, the world around me is transformed

We life in a realm filled with limitless possibility. Your state of consciousness determines how expansive your vision can be and your perception of the experiences you witness reflects the level of your energetic vibration.

With this in mind, observe your thoughts. See what type of amusement you are drawn to, what books and movies spark interest within you, notice those you enjoy being with. Is there a trend? Do the things that fill your life bring you joy and contentment, frustration and disappointment or peace and fulfillment?

This is an important aspect of self-reflection. We need to create an awareness of what we are choosing to experience. Often, it can be challenging to see ourselves clearly. If that’s the case, observe those around you. What do you notice?

You are the master of your experience. If you wish to create joy, purposefully seek it in any form you can. Infinite possibilities provide a lifetime of practice, insight and opportunities to awaken to the fullness of who you truly are.
 
Today my intention is to purposely
create a world that is filled with love, light and laughter.

The power of gratitude

Gratitude changes everything.

That’s Right! I open my consciousness to the expansion of life. There is plenty of space for me to grow and change

Wholeness is about being abundant in body, spirit, mind, consciousness, joy… everything. With gratitude, we create a flow of energy that draws in more. When one focuses on lack, there will never be enough.

The expansiveness of life seeks to be experienced. If you feel cut off, tired, too busy, apathetic or procrastinate when it comes to following your joy, begin by changing your thoughts. Celebrate this moment. Find the good that exists and enter the temple of life itself.

Joy does not depend on outside circumstances. It comes from within and spills over into dance and laughter and gratitude. There are many opportunities to celebrate life, and doing so will share that wonderful energy with others.

“A little foolishness and a little wisdom is good, and the right combination makes you a buddha…”  – Osho
 
Today my intention is to be fully present. I choose to accept what is, celebrate it while it’s here and say good-bye with gratitude when it’s not.

Conscious growth

You make a difference.

That’s Right! I ask for more understanding so that I may knowingly and lovingly shape my world and my experiences

Just as a move of one pawn on the chessboard completely changes the possibilities of the game, our conscious actions can shift the energy in any situation. When you discover a group or practice that sparks joy and awareness in your experience, immerse yourself within it wholeheartedly.

Miracles happen all the time. We simply need to create the space in which a transformation can occur and remain open to the infinite possibilities of life. If we wish to raise our consciousness to higher levels, we must drop resistance to change. Choosing love and forgiveness as a lifestyle opens our perceptions and frees us to see greater possibilities.

Each and every jump in consciousness is preceded by humility and the release of the egoic thought process of “I know.” This is why breakthroughs happen after we feel like we’ve hit “rock bottom” – the ego is momentarily set aside and we discover we can open to greater understanding. The key is to surrender attachment to limiting beliefs before we hit rock bottom, thus growing wiser without the need for intensity and drama. The awakening spirit seeks growth rather than waiting for it to be forced upon them.
 
Today my intention is to look forward with enthusiasm to the adventures of the day.

The laws of love

Love resides at the core of all things.

That’s Right! The greatest gift I can give those around me is to be my authentic self

The seven laws of love are:

  • Attraction – to be attractive, one must be authentic
  • Infatuation – changes the filter through which we view life. The ordinary becomes enchanted
  • Communion – we learn to trust, connecting soul to soul as we enter uncharted territory together
  • Intimacy – we learn to tap into sexual and spiritual energy which is the creative energy of the Universe
  • Surrender and non-attachment – conscious surrender allows us to discover our true selves, the limitless, ego free awareness that lives beyond desire, fear and neediness
  • Passion – passion for life and passion for love merge and are expressed in our daily journey. All is love
  • Ecstasy – the final state of love and the expansive energy of our true nature. This is expressed by living a life of grace and intimacy with the Divine

(Paraphrased from Kama Sutra by Deepak Chopra)

The spiritual seeker utilizes the relationships in their experience to awaken a deeper connection with the Divine. Through conscious interaction, we learn to see through the mechanisms of the ego in order to access the Oneness that connects us all. In love, we come together and discover the power of trust, kindness, openness and empowerment.

 Today my intention is to honor those who grace my life by being my authentic self. I expect my life to be good and joyous and it is.

The dance of awakening

That’s Right! I am one with the very Power that created me

The paradox of being an infinite being having a human experience creates a dance between wisdom and love. As we access our inner wisdom – releasing ego, competition, judgment and limitation – we discover the boundless possibilities that love and Oneness have to offer.

Both states exist simultaneously. Seek to access the inner dimension of love and let it be the energetic undercurrent of your life. This will allow you to experience the present moment for itself rather than as a means to an end. Honor life by living the Now with intention, joy, acceptance and freedom. When you are balanced in this moment, life will fall into place perfectly.

“The moment you enter the Now with your attention, you realize that life is sacred. There is a sacredness to everything you perceive when you are present. The more you live in the Now, the more you sense the simple yet profound joy of Being and the sacredness of all life.”
~ Eckhart Tolle
 
Today my intention is to radiate
peace by realizing who I am at the deepest level… and living accordingly

Be the light

Be the light you want to see in the world.

That’s Right! All transformation begins within

Each of us has the responsibility to observe the energy we bring into our life situations. Mastery simply means that we are willing to take ownership of our state of consciousness in the present moment with the knowledge that we have a definitive impact on those around us.

Every circumstance offers an opportunity to discover the infinite facets of love. Periodically check in and ask if you’re bringing the best version of yourself to the Now. It’s empowering to observe, see clearly and shift when required… some of the many gifts of higher awareness. As you awaken, you’ll have access to greater perception. Don’t be surprised if you have a significantly different view of the world than others around you. Let your life be your message and bring gentleness to your journey – beginning within.

Each of us plays a role in the collective awakening of humanity. Some heal through adversity, some through loving example and teaching while others simply bring light and kindness into daily activity. Find your truth and live it to the best of your ability.
 

Today my intention is to participate in the dance of awakening.

Living fully present

Immerse yourself completely in the art of listening.

That’s Right! Inner wisdom speaks in whispers

Becoming aware requires that we slow down and bring our full attention to the present moment. Any sound can be transformed into powerful spiritual practice. Whether pleasant or distracting, release any inner resistance to the noise. This will allow you to enter into the realm of inner stillness.

Pay attention to the gaps – the gaps between thoughts, breaths, words in a conversation, birdsong, space in music – and you’ll discover that is the most important aspect of our experience. Awareness of the gaps brings us into contact with the infinite, formless consciousness which resides in the background of life

True wisdom operates silently. In the stillness we can tap into new ideas, creativity and solutions. Slow down, stop the mind and allow.
 

Today my intention is to let stillness direct my words and actions.

Learning to love

Every path is unique.

That’s Right! When I find balance and harmony in my mind, I find it in my life

Love resides at the core of everything. This is why there are so many ways to awaken, various belief systems and approaches from which to choose, and why we must honor each path as sacred.

Find the things that give your life purpose and passion and devote your life to them. Seek others who uplift and support you along the way. Share your discoveries, for you may spark the light of awareness in another.

Whether you are aligned with prayer, forgiveness, meditation, healing, service, yoga, shamanism, conscious politics, teaching, art, laughter or music, simply find love within that approach. Let your soul’s work heal any wounds that you carry. The love you have for yourself determines how much love you are willing to receive and what you have to give.

There are always new levels to explore. The infinite facets of experience and awareness await discovery.
 

Today my intention is to honor all paths as sacred.
