All those who grace your life play a role in facilitating the lessons you wished to learn in this incarnation.

Karmic relationships provide an opportunity to experience and examine both sides of a situation and learn compassion for the other in the process. We tend to get the most growth by interacting with those who are our opposites. The flow between the two opposing polarities ultimately becomes neutral when the karma is complete.

Some relationships are simply loving and supportive. Rather than accelerating growth, they offer a foundational, consistent experience that allows us to feel safe while processing through other, more challenging interactions.

Other encounters may be brief but life-changing. Someone comes in like a whirlwind, inspires you or pivots your course in some way and then exits once their karmic role is complete.

All of these interactions weave together for your benefit. As your consciousness expands, you’ll play a more active role in recognizing soul connections when they appear, understand the lesson more quickly and move through the process by utilizing the tools you have cultivated along the way.

It’s time for you to recognize your own magnificence.

Peacefulness comes from living in alignment with your true nature, honoring your strengths and insights, learning from your challenges and knowing that your path is sacred and unique.

Many people defer to their inner critic, typically seeking to please others based upon childhood imprinting, parental or societal expectations. The tendency is to put aside their own joy and they walk through life striving to attain outside validation.

As we awaken, we come to understand that life is about being an authentic and conscious expression of the Divine. The illusions which surround us become less important as we discover the value of experiencing happiness and fulfillment in the present moment.

Respect your vision and trust that your inner guidance will lead you to see yourself clearly. When you live in harmony with your true nature, your life will become your message and you’ll make a difference in the world.

The dance of awakening expands with every step you take.

Many are imprisoned by the cacophony of their own thoughts.

Stillness is a wonderful aspect of spiritual practice. Cultivate the ability to step into the gap and simply be – fully present, at peace and deeply connected to life. Create several moments throughout the day to honor the sacredness of your journey. Gratitude and appreciation open your heart to receive the many blessings that life has to offer.

There is nothing missing in your experience. All that you seek is within you and all that is required is the willingness to allow the Divine to express itself through you. When we quiet the mind, this becomes possible.

Turn off the distractions. Turn inward. Pay attention. You may be delightfully surprised at the myriad messages of love, light and laughter that flow into your consciousness. You are loved more than you can imagine.

The greatest gift that you can give another is the space to grow and thrive.

How empowering it is to walk through the world without expectation. Each moment becomes an expression of kindness and compassion with no thought of need or attachment to outcomes. Simple pleasures are met with gratitude and appreciation and experienced with a sense of well-being.

When there is no desire that anything be any different than it appears, we create an opportunity to see life more clearly. Energy is not wasted on trying to change what is, nor is it focused on manipulating some future moment to be what the mind thinks it should be.

Let your interactions come from a place of complete acceptance and watch how they unfold. When others feel safe in your presence, they will be able to explore the present moment without defensiveness. The greatest gift that you can give another is the space to be authentic, and ultimately, this comes from finding authenticity within yourself.

Courageousness is not about being fearless. It is the ability to move forward and take conscious action in spite of any fear that may arise.

No matter what you wish to create in your experience, all transformation begins within. Visualize opening to the vast potential that exists within you and all around you rather than expecting, and therefore receiving, repetitive limiting circumstances. At first, the mind may balk with it’s “Nothing’s ever going to change” mantra; however, consistent intention always sets new energy in motion.

You can dream a new world into being. See yourself as an artist who utilizes divine inspiration in order to guide new visions into life. Forgiveness, gratitude, positive expectations, joyful enthusiasm and willingness demonstrate unwavering commitment to creating new experiences. Each approach, practiced consistently, releases old patterns and resentments and sets you free from past perceived limitations.

All of existence conspires to assist in your spiritual awakening and love rains down upon you from multiple dimensions. Open to receive the new through willingness, imagination and sprinkling a little magic throughout your life.

It’s time to find your unique blend of self-acceptance and purposeful, consistent growth.

Each of us is a work in progress. See yourself as an evolving, living, breathing miracle. The energy of Oneness reveals itself through the constant process of awakening. As each new facet emerges, we can recognize the picture of perfection that is unfolding.

Any perceived flaws simply add to the unique expression of the Divine that expresses itself through you. Embrace them as a source of empowerment and let laughter and acceptance break you free from the bondage of the ego-mind.

You are perfection. As you come to know this your journey will seem more purposeful and meaningful. Each and every interaction, circumstance and challenge is intended to help you see your beauty and magnificence. Train yourself to consistently seek the gift in every situation. Your willingness to seek the gift ensures its discovery.

Neutrality is a world away from apathy.

Neutrality creates a flow of acceptance in your experience and allows you to genuinely be at peace no matter what unfolds. It is also a wonderful indicator when karmic agreements have been completed. The emotional intensity subsides and the person or situation no longer creates an emotional charge.

Apathy, on the other hand, is a state akin to helplessness. One sees no point in living, feels like nothing will change and the personality becomes trapped in heavy energies that suck the life out of the people around them.

To find a personal state of grace and balance, we must cultivate the ability to allow life to unfold without attachment to outcomes. The dance between dark and light opens our consciousness to explore the space in between, a resting place, which allows healing to take place.

After this time of peace, we embark upon the next level of consciousness which is Willingness. The journey proceeds with a new understanding of hope, optimism and intention… and from there, anything is possible.

Though it may seem far away at times, love is all around you.

This planet is a playground of discovery. As we journeyed through the veils of illusion we came to believe what we see more and more and forgot that there are layers of love and protection all around us. Eventually, the challenges we faced prompted the process of self-examination. One by one we drop the layers of illusion until finally, all that remains is love and joy.

It is safe for you to act from the heart and allow circumstances to unfold as they will. Navigating our way through the unknown cultivates the ability to have faith during times of indecision. We are called upon to act with courage and integrity in the present moment and trust that whatever unfolds is working toward the highest good of all involved.

Remind yourself often that all of life is conspiring on your behalf. Seek only to bring the best version of yourself to your choices and interactions. As you awaken, you’ll discover that the challenges you face seem more manageable. Reactivity will decrease and a sense of safety will be the grounding force for all that you experience.
