This moment is an integral aspect of your dance with the Divine.

That’s Right! We are one

As interconnected beings, we discover the magic that resides within the infinite details of life. We are part of an intricate tapestry. Threads of energy weave us together as One – and what harms one, harms all. What blesses one, blesses all.

Begin within. See yourself as worthy of your kindness and consideration. Make choices that benefit the balance of your mind, body and spirit. From there, expand outward realizing that even the act of cleansing your home space sends waves of healing energy throughout your family and neighborhood (and ultimately the world). Bring that kindness into your daily interactions while choosing to see the other person as merely a reflection of you.

There is much we can learn from one another. As often as possible, look beyond the role each soul is playing to the infinite source of love that is helping you to discover your highest potential.

All that you need is already here.

That’s Right! Every moment provides an opportunity to become more of who I am

Ego generated happiness comes and goes. The actions of others have a great affect on the well being of one who has yet to discover that true happiness comes from within. But for those who have taken responsibility for their own joy… every moment is experienced as a new beginning filled with limitless possibility.

Happiness or sorrow? It’s your choice. Move forward with confidence and ease knowing that all is well in your world. Remember that the Universe totally supports every thought you choose to think and believe. Today is the future you created yesterday; however, tomorrow is a blank slate, waiting for the gift of your intention.

Your thoughts dictate the flow of your life.

That’s Right! I now choose to release every negative, destructive, fearful idea and thought from my mind and my life.

Make a peaceful mind the primary source of your experience. Seek always to create a space of balance and authentic connection with the Divine prior to stepping into the world each day. In whatever way lifts your soul, find the flow of grace and immerse yourself within it.

When we begin our day with quietude, we set the stage for miraculous things to happen. In awareness, we open ourselves to receive and are more easily able to recognize the gifts of the Divine as they unfold.

While the world around you is rushing from one place to the next, fretting about the future or judging themselves for perceived past mistakes, you will be a quiet source of strength and peace – a much needed role in this beautiful world of ours.

Be willing to release all that no longer serves you.

That’s Right! I feel safe in the rhythm and flow of my ever-changing life.

Often, when we have identified with a particular way of being for a long time, the ego becomes invested in that idea and is resistant to all else. When in discussion with others, you may hear them say (or hear yourself say…) “that’s the way I’ve always been” as if that’s a good thing.

We are here to evolve, to discover the limitless depths of being and play in the realms of infinite potential. Imagine if the caterpillar, upon discovering her brand new wings, ignored them completely in favor of continuing to crawl  through life simply because that is all she has ever known.

Every moment offers the possibility of transformation for you. It begins with a thought or a realization and comes into being through experimentation and discovery. Trust the processes of your awakening, knowing that all is unfolding for you at the appropriate time and pace. You are safe.

What you give, you will receive.

Give those you love the space to be themselves.

Relationships allow us the opportunity to cultivate exciting new aspects of ourselves. Offering one another space provides the safety in which to explore, and the discoveries we make not only enhance our own self-worth, but also the dynamics within the partnership.

Many people confuse ego-based clinging and neediness with love; however, love is peaceful, accepting, forgiving and powerful… and it should evolve as we evolve.

“Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”

One important aspect of spiritual awareness is the consciousness we bring to situations we encounter with challenging people.

Anyone can feel “evolved” when sitting in mediation or on a mountaintop. True enlightenment requires that we walk among all types of people and honor the stage of growth in which they reside. Practice kindness in the face of anger or even when feeling attacked, knowing that the present moment provides an opportunity for you to make a difference… and whether you see the results of it or not, never doubt the power of the Divine.

There is great joy in taking full responsibility for every aspect of your life, releasing blame and excuses and simply walking your talk and speaking your truth with integrity. Your light shines throughout the darkness more brightly than you can imagine.

Be willing to take a risk.

Begin from where you are, with what you have, right now…

As you change, the world around you is transformed.
