Live consciously

What we choose to embrace, we become.
 
That’s Right! I see my patterns and make changes without embarrassment or guilt
 
Surround yourself with things that enhance the beauty of your life. Since everything emits energy, it’s helpful to be aware of what we choose to have in our experience. Wherever your attention goes, energy flows.
Your spiritual awareness is affected by everything you pay attention to. Those who fill their day with seemingly insignificant bits of negativity – watching the “news”, participating in judgment, gossip, worry, fear, etc., – create a perception of helplessness and fatigue. Pay attention and make choices that support your joy throughout the day. Layer upon layer of positive and nurturing experiences create a sense of serene inner peace.
Awareness itself has a way of altering events. When we step into the role of observer, we detach from the mind’s limited interpretations and are able to see more clearly.
Consciously approach this moment as sacred. What will you choose to talk about? How will you speak? What will you bring to share? What will you place into your body?
Today my intention is to choose joy.

Discovery and acceptance

Sometimes you have to be who you aren’t in order to discover who you are.
 
That’s Right! I am willing to walk my talk and speak my truth with integrity
 
Accepting yourself is empowering. Consider the idea that you purposely set up the blueprint of your life by choosing your parents, body type, personality, lessons, talents and passions. There is great joy to be discovered by recognizing the beauty and perfection of who you are and fully embracing yourself with love.
This may be the reason why so many people enjoy delving into the various systems we have of analyzing the tapestry we create together such as astrology, numerology, the Michael Teachings, personality types, etc. When you discover your traits and tendencies in print, it can allow another piece of the puzzle to fall into place and lead you further down the road to acceptance.
Too many try to please others rather than live in their truth. Living authentically allows you to have more to give to those you love. Stillness comes from this beautiful sense of inner peace and purpose. You’ll know that you’re on the right track when you embrace your uniqueness and joyfully share your gifts.
Today my intention is to walk in truth and joy.

The continuity of change

Life is quite simply this:  interconnected, continuous, transformative movement.
 
That’s Right! It is always easy for me to adapt and change. I choose to live with grace and gratitude
 
Whether your life situation is challenging or beautiful, remember that “This too shall pass.” Life, by it’s literal definition, is the process of adapting to change that occurs internally. The human condition is an experience that we choose and all aspects of it have great beauty to share.
Be open and receptive to change. Collectively, we are often in the process of upheaval and discovery, and it’s in those moments that a sense of inner peace is paramount. There is nothing more important than your state of consciousness. Energy emits from every thought, word and action and flows through us out into the world, only to return in the form of experience.
You have the ability to choose how you wish to respond to life. When you are conscious of the ebb and flow of constant change, it becomes easier to rise above the events and see more clearly.
Today my intention is to live in harmony with all of life.

Expect the very best

The point of power is always in the present moment.
 
That’s Right! I expect life to be safe and joyous. I attract all that is good
 
Worry about the future or regret about the past destroy the only thing that truly matters – the Now. We are given this wonderful opportunity to learn, love and live in the present moment, yet it’s amazing how something as seemingly intangible as a thought can suck the life-force and joy from our experience.
Your thoughts have power. They dictate your next action and expectation. Worry leads to inaction, procrastination or hesitancy and robs you of your strength.
If you should observe your mind turning to worry, notice, shift your thoughts to something more productive in the present moment and take some kind of action. Conscious movement can often break you free of the limiting energy of doubt.
Trust the processes of life. Whether the worry is for yourself, someone you love or for the state of the world, recognize that it is a waste of your precious energy. We all (personally and collectively) create the lessons that are required for our awakening, and thankfully, we also have the strength and ability to break free of the shadows of the mind to emerge into the light of courageousness.
Today my intention is accept my decisions knowing that I am free to grow and change.

I Am…

What are you creating?
 
That’s Right! I am a master in the process of awakening
 
Your words have power. Use them consciously to create the life of your dreams. Each moment provides an opportunity to discover new facets of yourself.
Celebrate the process of your awakening. The energy of “I Am” makes you a powerful co-creator on the Path of Transformation. Seek to expand your experience with a positive, powerful and mindful “I Am”.
Today my intention is step into my strength. I am willing to accept a miracle.

Anything is possible

How often do you hold yourself back out of fear?
 
That’s Right! I am willing to release the patterns that no longer serve my growth
 
Whether you fall prey to procrastination, doubt, fear or the idea of lack, realize that all are products of the ego mind. It’s amazing how powerful ideas are. Beliefs form the basis from which we approach life and the most dangerous is the idea that you aren’t worthy enought to live the life of your dreams.
There are no limitations, except those which are imposed by the self. One way to break through limiting patterns is to say, “It could be…” or “Wouldn’t it be nice…?” So instead of thinking “This is going to be a hassle”, we can transform the energy by thinking “Wouldn’t it be nice if everything fell together perfectly?” This is the bridge between limitation and affirmation.
Many people say affirmations but, unconscious of their words, later sabotage them by saying and believing the opposite of what they’re trying to create. Pay attention. If you notice limiting thoughts or words trying to interject into your experience, purposefully restate your desire in a positive way, and then support that with your conscious actions.
Today my intention is to handle all of my experiences with joy, love and ease. I use my mind and thoughts to enhance my life.

Be willing to receive

The world is your reflection.
 
That’s Right! I am willing to love unconditionally, beginning with myself
 
Relationships are the mirror that shows us where we are on the journey of awakening and acceptance. Some people, when offered love, will sabotage, run away, find the dissension or simply be unable to recognize it because it’s not part of their level of consciousness.
Your state of awareness creates the filter through which you view the world. It creates unique experiences for you based upon your beliefs. The more aligned you are with the Divine and your own true nature, the easier it becomes to give and receive love.
Constantly be willing to find new ways of looking at the world. Choose to see beauty everywhere, in all situations, all types of weather, every interaction – the choice to seek for the gift ensures that you will find it.
When you offer kindness and experience rejection, take a moment to recognize the other persons state of consciousness… are they in a space of self love and acceptance? Look within and observe your own state of consciousness – what are they reflecting to you? Is there any part of your life where you are rejecting kindness?
Act with integrity, do your best, accept what is, give yourself a big hug and don’t forget to look in a mirror and say, “I love you!”
Today my intention is to recognize that every moment presents a wonderful new opportunity to become more of who I am.

My life is my message

We teach by living our truth.
 
That’s Right, I love life! I look forward to every moment of it
 
Conscious actions leave a lasting imprint. Each step of the way we have an opportunity to walk our talk and speak our truth with integrity and the results can be life changing.
Be courageous. Be kind. Learn from your mistakes (knowing that there are no mistakes…). Listen to the messages you receive from the Universe and walk forward with faith.
The people who have drawn you into their lives seek to experience your unique way of being. Honor your own path by living it to the best of your ability. You are ready. You do have enough time. It will make a difference.
Let your life be your message. A loving and authentic nature may create the spark that lights the flames of awareness in another.
Today my intention is to be willing to see my own beauty and magnificence.

Living with grace and ease

My inner purpose is to awaken.
 
That’s Right! When I find harmony and balance in my mind, I find it in my life
 
With greater awareness, we begin to discover how often we have created stress and imbalance in our experience. The soul’s purpose is to awaken and no matter what challenges arise, what karma we have arranged or how successful we are at cultivating our unique gifts, it’s important to understand that nothing matters more than our state of consciousness.
Your state of consciousness is measured by the degree of peace you are experiencing in this moment. Peacefulness comes from releasing things which no longer serve us, from kind and supportive self talk and allowing the love of the Divine to flow through us.
You may feel compelled to accomplish certain tasks as part of your role in this lifetime. Every journey is different and exquisitely beautiful in it’s uniqueness. These outer tasks are merely the means through which your inner purpose is fulfilled.
Approach each moment with a conscious willingness to experience grace and ease. Consistently take the time to bring gentleness and acceptance to the forefront of your experience and observe how life responds to you.
Today my intention is to be gentle with myself. Every moment offers an opportunity to align with the Divine and I am grateful to be here, Now.

Strength comes from facing our shadows

You are stronger than you know.
 
That’s Right! The gateways to knowledge and wisdom are always open to me
 
When life presents our darkest moments, we have the opportunity to rise above. Know that your soul is ready to face whatever life offers – and realize that challenging situations only come into our experience when we have the tools and ability to handle them.
The only blockages  we have are our beliefs about our own worthiness, strength, ingenuity and vision. Challenges provide the opportunity to leave behind the baggage, take action and break through to new levels of enlightenment.
Perhaps you have postponed changing because you were afraid to try something new. The Universe has creative ways of propelling us into growth – life sometimes take a turn into the unknown and we must either face it or give up. Fortunately, the human spirit’s tendency is to evolve. Faced with no other option, fear disappears and we simply walk forward.
These are the moments of transformation. Trust the processes of life and know that you have the fortitude to conquer your fear… not only facing it and conquering it, but shattering the old beliefs and patterns that created it in the first place. Then, the world opens and new experiences await.
Today my intention is to trust the processes of life. Whatever unfolds is what I need most to awaken to my infinite and true nature.
