Savor the moment

Savor the moment.

That’s Right! Divine peace and love surround me and dwell in me. I trust the process of life

This moment is all you have. Filled with limitless possibility, there are many ways to experience it. Self observation automatically brings more Presence into your life. Pay attention to how often you are choosing to focus on the past or the future and consistently draw yourself back into the present.

It’s important to be more invested in noticing how you are reacting to people and situations, rather than focusing on the external factors causing your reaction.

Most pain is self-inflicted, created by some form of resistance to what is. Resistance is expressed through judgment, negativity, resentment, self-pity, depression or anger. The intensity of pain is an indicator of how much the ego is in control of the present moment.

Fortunately, there is always a flow of love, peace, acceptance and compassion to tap into. We need only to quiet the mind, go within and seek out this stillness. It is the infinite energy of the Divine that resides at the core of who you truly are.

Today my intention is to be here Now. I honor this space, this moment as sacred.

Happiness

Happiness comes from within and is something we have the ability to choose at any time.

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

Celebrate life. Don’t wait for everything to fall into place before you choose to be happy. Happiness must come first. Allow life to enter you and discover what it is like to live in a world of wonder.

Many create barriers to their joy. While seeking some imagined utopian future, they live in a space of disarray – frustrated, stressed, unhappy, unfulfilled – destroying the only thing that matters… the present moment. There is nothing more important that your state of consciousness Now. When you live in gratitude and contentment, life responds accordingly.

Everything truly significant comes when we are in a state of grace. Love, meditation, kindness, peace, joy and awareness cannot be forced, we must simply become capable of receiving.

Today my intention is to express gratitude for the many blessings in my life. I open my heart and sing the joys of love.

Worthiness

empowerment08

You are a divine infinite being on a journey of awakening.

That’s Right! I am ready to create a life that is joyous, abundant and filled with love

Our beliefs create our reality. If you wish to manifest positive changes in your experience, yet carry the belief that you are not worthy or not good enough, you will create blockages to receiving the beauty trying to come your way.

Repeating patterns show us what our innermost beliefs are. When we pay attention, everything is a message. The act of self-observation shines the light of consciousness upon the issue and it begins to change. You will have the opportunity to try new approaches, listen to your self-talk and break free of self imposed limitation.

The belief “I am unworthy” leads to procrastination. Seek fulfillment now, from where you are with what you have. This moment is providing you the opportunity to receive the love which rains down upon you from all dimensions – can you see it?

Today my intention is to be kind to myself. I am willing to receive and choose to dance in the flow of my ever-changing life.

Self-awareness

Be a clear space of loving presence that allows all things and people to be as they are.

That’s Right! I am willing to create a space in which a transformation can occur   
To create change within relationships, you must learn to express what you are feeling without blaming and learn to listen with an open heart. If there are accusations, defense or attack, the ego is in control; therefore, we must first address our own lessons in order to bring an authentic way of being to the present moment.

The more work you do on yourself, the less drama you create in your experience.  Then, even if you are witnessing someone else in the midst of dysfunction, you will not get drawn into that energy. Instead, you will bring the light of consciousness to the situation.

Giving space – both to yourself and to others – is the most important aspect of being a loving person. It allows ego to dissipate more quickly and builds connection rather than continued animosity or miscommunication.

When you honor the present moment as sacred, resistance  begins to dissolve and life flows with greater ease and grace. Your rising consciousness is a gift to the world.

Today my intention is to accept people around me just as they are. I choose to handle my experiences with wisdom, love and ease.

Blessing

Walk gently through the world.

That’s Right! Divine peace and harmony surround me at all times    
When you can return anger with kindness, you have arrived. When you can choose to honor your challenges and bless those who have graced your life, you have arrived. When you have learned the power of acceptance, you have arrived. Mastery is an ongoing process. With each new experience we have the opportunity to explore the infinite possibilities inherent in the present moment.

Be a source of quiet strength and blessing as you navigate your journey. Leave each place and person better than when you found them. You have the ability to sow seeds of kindness that will last a lifetime. And so it is.

Today my intention is to live with an open heart.yum

Be the change

The only way to create evolution in your experience is to be the change you wish to see

That’s Right! I am aware that what I do not want to change is exactly what I need to change the most    
“The root cause of most difficulties in relationships is the fact that we want something from another. We imagine that we need the other person to be a certain way. Why? perhaps so that we ourselves will then feel a certain way – safe, supported, appreciated, happy. When we don’t get what we want, when other people don’t act the way we wish they would, relationship difficulties begin. We then view these difficulties as impediments to happiness, even obstacles on our spiritual path. But these difficulties – especially in relationships – are themselves the path. While we might prefer that a person be a particular way, it is our misguided requirement that they be this way that stops real love from flowing. Be giving up our requirements of others, we open to the love that already connects us.”
~ Ezra Bayda
Look at what you desire to experience in your relationships, then bring that attribute into your own way of being. If you perceive that you need someone to be a certain way, go within an observe whatever it is that you feel you lack. Immediately and consciously recognize that you alone can provide this for yourself. If it is the words, “I love you”, kind gestures or support, pay attention to the self talk that ensues when you are denied what you want. Disappointments motivate us to awaken. When you can come to a relationship whole and complete, peaceful and accepting, you’ll discover that the need to experience conflict disappears.
 Today my intention is to release all control to the Universe. I am at peace with myself and with life

Live from joy

Don’t take life too seriously.

That’s Right! I love who I am. My thoughts uplift and support me     
Spiritual awakening requires consistent effort and self-awareness, but it does not need to be somber or filled with feelings of self-deprecation. Rather, your transformation should be a celebration of new discoveries, laughter, kindness toward the self and learning to live from joy.

Your future is determined by your state of consciousness now. It’s that simple. Are you living in a way that honors the journey rather than the destination? Evolution happens in one place only – here, through whatever you are experiencing  right now.

Cultivate kindness and gentleness in your dealings with others. Before you speak, ask yourself if your words are supportive, healing or loving. If so, continue and spread the light of your consciousness. If not, determine if a quiet, empowered silence might be the more appropriate approach.

Today my intention is to open my heart to the endless love and peace of the Divine.

Act without expectation

Act without expectation.

That’s Right! I hold no cherished outcome    
Ensure that your choices are led by love rather than by fear. When you make a decision, act with integrity, do your best and accept what is… your life will reflect a greater sense of peace.

If you observe yourself, you may be surprised how often you attach to an outcome. The degree of disappointment or stress you feel is an indicator of how attached you are to the end result. Noticing this, you can purposely detach from the egoic desire and practice a healthy, loving sense of detachment. Whether your actions are small kindnesses or grand gestures, cultivate acceptance in all that you do. Be love.

The energy we emit dictates our experience of the world. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you were permanently in a state of grace? It’s possible. You absolutely have the ability to attain mastery, and it begins Now.

Today my intention is to love what is. My life unfolds perfectly.

Live, Love, Laugh

Purposely celebrate life with joy.

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

You choose how to experience the present moment. Even in the midst of sorrow and uncertainty, each of us has the ability to access incredible strength, positive expectation and, yes, even joy – the joy of being.

Rejoice in what you have knowing that new experiences are right around the corner. Seek fulfillment through gratitude, compassion and kindness and your life will be filled with magical, empowered moments beyond compare.

Real joy is often just a quiet presence in the moment. You are right where you need to be and your soul is opening to the infinite mysteries of life. Dance your way to enlightenment.

Today my intention is to be enchanted, mystified, intrigued and joyfully expectant.

Our shared journey

This moment is all that matters.

That’s Right! The pathway to love is forgiveness. I lovingly release the past and turn my attention to this new day   
 Spiritual practice is always about forgiveness. As we loosen our desire to carry a particular story, we learn to release the resentment so treasured by the ego. Forgiveness is something that also must be directed inward. It’s important to understand that everyone is our reflection. The ideas we cling to are born from our own limited thinking and beliefs.

Everyone experiences the present moment as best as they can based upon their life path, soul age, imprinting and level of consciousness. The realization of the shared pain of humanity serves as a reminder that people often act from a place of fear, seeking to protect themselves. From the egos point of view, it is easier to project fear and blame outward than to go within to explore unhealed wounds.

You are a child of the Universe… more than that, you are the Universe seeking to experience love through the illusion of separation. Our role is to see beyond the illusion to the truth which guides us all toward awakening.

Today my intention is to honor all paths as sacred. We are all simply walking one another home.
