Each of us experiences life through the filter created by our level of consciousness. Someone vibrating at the level of Fear will have a far different interpretation of a situation than someone vibrating at the level of Acceptance or Love. Likewise, communication between two people of differing consciousness can be challenging – the person who is more aware must often take greater care to ensure understanding (and exercise patience in the process).

It’s important to recognize our projections as they occur. Some are providing you an opportunity to see how much you have grown and others can clarify what your soul is working on healing.

The inspired spiritual student becomes excited by the limitless potential of the Now and seeks to apply new knowledge to the world as it unfolds. This is the beauty of infinite possibility. We can choose how we experience life. Let the reflections you see motivate you to higher levels of consciousness. The circumstances around you provide the optimal conditions for your spiritual evolution.

“When life is simple,
pretenses fall away;
our essential natures shine through.

By not wanting, there is calm,
and the world will straighten itself.
When there is silence,
one finds the anchor of the universe within oneself.”

~ From the 37th verse of the Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu

Change the way you view your approach to life. When you are able to replace your attachment to outcomes with a strong sense of calm contentment, you’ll discover that life unfolds as it should. When we attach to the “hows” resistance is created; however, when we choose to get out of the way and allow, we create a space in which transformation can occur.

Cultivate this strength in your experience by releasing judgment as well as the need to tell others how you think they should act or solve their problems. Give yourself and those around you permission to just be and lighten the burdens you have placed upon yourself.

Today my intention is to honor this moment as sacred.

“There is only one perpetrator of evil on the planet: human unconsciousness. That realization is true forgiveness. With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges – the power of Presence. Instead of blaming the darkness, you bring in the light.”
~ Eckhart Tolle

Light transforms the darkness. Our ability to love plants seeds of consciousness that help in the collective awakening of which we are all a part. Peaceful, empowered souls have a dramatic impact on those around them. Pay attention, observe, seek the gift in every situation and you will discover a new way of walking in the world.

Oneness requires that we release judgment and move into compassion in the present moment. Whatever unfolds in our life situations – both personally and collectively – is teaching us the healing power of higher consciousness. Everything is interconnected. When you are balanced, all your actions and relationships will be a reflection of the oneness of life – that is love.

When ready to work on strengthening a particular facet of our experience, we emit an energetic signal that draws in the perfect people and circumstances to support that growth. When you respond strongly to someone, it is one soul recognizing another in joyful reunion.

The moments you share may be wonderful or challenging, or a blend of both, but once you engage in a karmic contract the opportunity for growth begins.

You can measure the impact this person has on your experience but the level of emotional reaction you have to them. Once the lesson has been learned, the intensity will decrease and you will enter a state of loving neutrality. Lingering energy indicates that you are still processing and healing. Be thankful for the healing angels of your life – no matter what form they take – for they are walking you home.

Your role, as a spiritual seeker, is to raise the vibration of those nearest you by living aligned with higher truths and holding space. It’s important to be so grounded in being that you don’t get drawn into others’ negativity. In this way, you bring light to the world.

One of the greatest things I learned from working with spiritual teachers was my own definition of mastery. Any time I witnessed unkindness, impatience or judgment, it sparked within me the desire to do better in my own life.

Should you ever feel somthing is lacking from your experience in the present moment, that is your signal to open to the Divine and become a channel for that energy. Imagine yourself having a conversation with someone who holds strong judgment and anger. In the moment you realize that you wish he or she would have some compassion, you can purposely move into compassion yourself. Bring it into the Now through your response and intention. Give compassion to the person who desperately needs to understand how powerful it is. Feed it into your experience and watch what unfolds.You can be the change you wish to see in the world.

Our limiting thought patterns place limitations upon what we are willing to receive from the Universe. All of life is vibrant, responsive energy that aligns with what we emit with our thoughts, beliefs, words and actions.

The point of power lies in the present moment. What are you feeding your energy into? It’s imperative to focus upon the beauty you seek rather than place your attention on perceived problems, frustrations or the ego’s attachment to specific outcomes.

Does your vibration energetically match what you are working to create in your life? We must be what we wish to draw into our experience. A slight change in your energy can open the door to a whole new way of being. The Art of Allowing calls upon us to remove all that blocks the movement of love and joy in our experience. Each step forward on your journey of awakening opens offers an opportunity to grow and change.

The physical world, as we experience it, originates from our thoughts, beliefs and expectations. You are not trapped by the world of form, it responds to you – providing a canvas upon which you can paint your dreams.

Rather than repeating the same old patterns and experiences (been there, done that!), be willing to break free from your comfort zone. Trying something different provides new levels of experience. It shifts the energy – perhaps slightly, perhaps a cascade of life changes – and allows you the opportunity to expand into uncharted realms.

All change begins with a vision. Keeping the end result in mind, taking conscious action in the present moment and celebrating the new as it appears is all that is required. Leave enough room for a miracle. Micromanaging from our limited human perspective is way too exhaustive, and it’s much more exciting to watch the Universe in motion.
