Everything in your experience has a purpose. You are on a journey of awakening to your true infinite nature and the ultimate goal is unconditional love – for both the self and for others.

Enlightenment is a process. It begins with a growing awareness that there is more to our experience than meets the eye. The soul prompts us to delve into life more deeply, searching for answers, seeking to heal and raising our level of consciousness.

Any pain, frustration, blockages or perceived missteps are created by limited vision. They simply indicate that there is something more to learn and it’s important to remember that you are loved, guided and supported each and every step of the way.

In the end, this is what awaits: peace, joy, bliss, enchantment, awareness, gratitude, wisdom and love.
Keep going….

Ego-driven love is filled with fear. The mind doesn’t feel fulfilled or complete so it attaches to another person and, for a time, gets a glimpse of communion. Relationships will always act as your greatest teachers. They eventually bring old wounds to the surface and then the ego says “You’re not who I thought you were!” or “You’ve changed.” …and we begin to play the roles required for one another’s growth.

To experience healthy, supportive relationships, one must begin within. The amount of love we have for ourselves determines the amount of love we are willing to receive. As we mature spiritually, we no longer expect someone else to be anything different than who they are. We enter into authentic communion – accepting, supportive, fearless, empowered. The person on the receiving end of such energy feels free to grow. Together you walk the path of transformation and your love simply lights the way.

You bring something unique and sacred to the world of form and it can only be fully expressed when you choose to live from the heart. Whether you seek to touch one life or many, realize that you do make a difference.

There has never been, nor will there ever be someone with your unique energy and way of being in the world. When you allow yourself to be led by love, the Divine takes you by the hand and guides you down new paths of experience. You naturally share your gifts by living authentically.

With each challenge that you rise above, new facets of your infinite nature are discovered. You life becomes your message and thus, the world is transformed.

It’s important to remember that you are responsible for your own joy. When you seek fulfillment outside of yourself, you choose to give away your power. Then happiness becomes measured by expectation, attachment to outcomes and reliant upon other people’s choices.

When gratitude, mindfulness, joy and peace come from within, we gain mastery over our own experience. Now life becomes a journey of discovery and adventure. We bring a different energy to the present moment – one that is empowered and aligned with life itself.

This is what is means to take responsibility for your own joy. It’s a choice that you make again and again throughout your journey. Should you notice any form of discontent arise in your experience, observe your thoughts.When you shine the light of consciousness on the ego, it loses it’s momentum and you are able to create a space where a transformation can occur.

We chose this planet for the multi-faceted experiences it provides. The contrasts of dark and light, hope and fear, kindness and hate, are all opportunities to explore the infinite possibilities of love.

This human experience is nothing but a fleeting moment in the playground of eternity. Live your life with passion. Seek joyful experiences. Recognize that you have the strength to rise above any challenges that may unfold.

Every moment is filled with the miraculous. You have the rare opportunity to bring a higher level of consciousness to the Now. Honor your journey as sacred remembering that enlightenment can come through any situation or circumstance.

Underneath the busyness of human experience resides a stillness that is eternal. This is the space in which life happens. Many people keep themselves and their lives so chaotic that they never discover the beauty of tapping into this realm of infinite possibility.

Learn to slow down and listen to the gap between thoughts. Multi-tasking is a distraction, though one seemed to be revered by those who have yet to awaken. If Zen were to be defined, it would simply be to place your  complete attention on doing one thing at a time.

This process slows down the tempo of your life. By doing less, more is accomplished. This mindful focus ensures that any actions you choose to take are filled with empowerment and intention. The ego loves to say that there’s not enough time… by living in the gap, we create a world of our own making.
