Your souls purpose is to awaken. That’s it – everything else is secondary. Those who have mastered self-love (agape) seem to find beauty everywhere. They view the world through a different filter and therefore have a different interpretation of life.

Notice any limiting thoughts that you may still carry, those deepest, darkest beliefs that enslave you. ….None of them are true. The human condition is to manage to our beliefs, albeit unconsciously. That’s the egos way of being able to say, “See, told you so. Here is another example…” and thus strengthen the energetic field around that belief.

Fortunately, each of us is equipped with the capability to shatter these barriers. The light of consciousness dispels the dark. The key is to purposely turn and face those fears so that your light shines upon them. The more aware you become, the easier it is to break free.

As you awaken, your interactions will become more empowered. Think of someone you admire. Their positive traits are a reflection of traits that you possess – that’s why you’re able to recognize them. With that in mind, bring those attributes to the surface and utilize them as often as you can. This is how you achieve self love and mastery.
 

What type of energy do you bring to your interactions? In every situation we have an opportunity to bring the light of consciousness to the present moment, demonstrate compassion and sow seeds of kindness and acceptance.

Even when you are in solitude, your energy dictates the flow of experience you have with the Now. This is the moment of transformation. Use it to the best of your ability. Bring your spiritual awareness to your daily life. Let it flow through your thoughts, words and actions. This cultivates the beautiful aspects of your being that are ready to shine.

When you can be at peace wherever you are, it indicates that you have healed and released layers of old energy that no longer serves your growth. Emotional wounds are transformed into empowerment and joy becomes your natural state of being.

Each of us is a master in the process of awakening. Whatever experience arises is the one that is required for the next step of your growth.
 

Freedom begins in the mind. Look at your life situation and observe how often you are blocked by perceived limitation. We live in an infinite universe filled with potential. Fear, doubt, regret and worry prevent us from living vibrantly and expanding into empowerment.

What if you begin this morning with simple gratitude and a few moments of conscious breathing? Instead of planning out the whole day or focusing upon a problem, take one mindful and conscious step forward at a time. Bring love to each task you choose to complete. This will transform your day into a series of beautiful moments. Slow down and discover the miracles that abound all around you.

Allow yourself to see beyond the world of form. Sense the infinite energy flowing through the present moment. All of life will be transformed. As you change, your experiences will change.
 

Be still. See through the incessant chatter of the mind. There is no need to solve any problem, to find the reasons why or fret about tomorrow. Step into the stillness of the present moment and allow life to unfold without any resistance.

You, as an empowered, infinite being, are here for a purpose. The journey is unique and each of us must ultimately walk it in our own way. The true mark of enlightenment is the ability to bring your spirituality and deeper awareness into the world of form. Then your conscious approach will enhance your life in miraculous ways.

The answers are already within you. In the stillness you can touch the Divine. Learn from all that you witness in your experience. Everything is here to aid you on your journey of awakening. Use it.
 

We can learn silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant and kindness from the unkind. Contrasts allow us to find our own integrity. When you interact with consciousness and intention, everything becomes a powerful aspect of your awakening.

Life’s magic unfolds in the simplest of things. A smile, loving action, compassionate listening or authentic acceptance and kindness can create a space in which a transformation can occur.

Take time to slow down and appreciate whatever unfolds in your experience today. Find the beauty in the present moment and transform it into a vibrant, enchanting way of being.
 

Every day offers new opportunities to show love and kindness. When we dance through the present moment with the desire to evolve, we are more apt to recognize new ways to explore myriad nuances of being.

No matter how far we have come, we are still at the beginning. Act with integrity, do your best, accept what is and allow your life to be your message. Joy is expansive – it opens greater understanding and compassion. We block this movement of awakening when we attempt to protect the heart from pain.

Karmic experience is complete when we’ve experienced both the beauty and the challenge in a given situation, and finally come to a place of acceptance and loving neutrality. Remind yourself that love, the authentic, eternal, unconditional love of the Divine, resides at the core of everything.
 

The language of the heart speaks in gentle whispers. It often comes once, creates a positive flow of energy and, if allowed to flourish, propels life into inspired and healthy directions.

The ego, on the other hand, is repetitive, fearful and clamors loudly to be heard. It can be easy for the instinctive and supportive messages of the heart to become lost in the cacophony of thought.

You have the means to transcend ego. The ability to recognize intuition and inner knowledge will grow stronger with use. Practice trusting your initial instincts so you become aware of the energy connected to Truth. This will help you to adjust course more easily when required.

Fear and anxiety are destructive flows of energy. They emerge from the illusions created by excessive thought and seeking fulfillment outside of ourselves. Travel inward. Listen to the love that flows through you – it comes directly from the Divine.

Give yourself a gift today. Choose to consciously walk through each moment with the expectation that every interaction has something beautiful to offer – a gift, lesson or insight. Notice how often “unawareness” finds a way to creep back in and simply observe the flow of these two movements of energy in your experience.

Awareness is the key. Whether you are noticing the mechanisms of the ego or witnessing the expansion of your soul, you are becoming more conscious.

Shine the light of consciousness upon everything in your experience and it will be transformed into something that inspires you to rise above. Begin with gratitude and, as the poet Rumi says, “Open your eyes, fall in love, stay there.”

The enlightened person has the ability to interpret life from many different perspectives. As your vibration increases, new viewpoints become available. Reactivity is an automated reaction that is driven by the ego. Observe these initial responses to the challenges in your life. It’s likely that you’ll notice the intensity and duration decrease as you awaken.

Periodically bring your awareness to your own state of consciousness. Are you fully present? Can your purposely shift your thoughts in ways that are empowering? How often do you show yourself love and compassion?

Consider this: the person who challenges you the most on the physical plane loves you the most on the spiritual plane. They are willing to risk losing your love and affection in this life to aid you in your soul’s growth… and there is no greater gift than playing a role that stimulates awakening.

Our thoughts create our reality. Plant seeds of kindness and gratitude and nurture them with intentions that support empowerment, growth and transformation. Consider any negative thoughts to be weeds which must be removed quickly before they multiply and take over the garden of your creation.

You have the strength and ability to manifest joy in your experience Now. This moment is the gateway to transformation. No matter what your circumstance, remember that happiness comes from within. Find it in the little things and expand it outward.

Whatever is unfolding in the field of Now is exactly what your soul requires for your awakening. Intensity, peacefulness, solitude or throngs of activity – all are a manifestation of the Divine. Bring the highest version of yourself to the present moment. Life will respond to you.
