Yours is an ancient journey and you are a soul who has spent lifetimes cultivating inner wisdom and love. Your unique awareness plays a significant role in the energetic transition of humanity – transforming a fear based culture to one based in love. Acceptance of yourself allows you to tap into this inner wisdom and bring the best version of yourself to any situation.

Old souls often feel that they don’t fit in. We are in the minority on this planet and part of the experience is learning to be okay with being different. The challenge is to maintain your belief, honor your inner wisdom and find a way to be a participant in the culture around you in your own unique way.

It takes strength and intention to purposefully maintain your high vibration – especially if those around you reside in a lower space. Trust the voice of your heart – if you feel it expanding, you’re on the right track. You are here for a purpose. You are needed. Be a conduit for love.

Today my intention is to love unconditionally.

One of the many aspects of soul growth is the development of higher consciousness. We constantly seek to move to new levels of perception, open to the guidance of the Divine and cultivate the qualities of compassion, joy, delight and freedom. This requires patience and the willingness to simply own our own stuff, dropping any barriers to love that we carry.

I’m preparing to go on a vacation in a few days. Initially, I was preparing to travel as I normally do but my guides have been instructing me to make some changes to my routine so that I can download and process new energy. I can see that this is a culmination of my willingness to change and grow and I’m excited to explore what lies ahead.

There are times when the soul is ready to travel more freely in the dimensions of higher reality. This allows us to communicate with our angels, guides, healing masters and helpers with greater ease. As we open ourselves, we begin to draw in more light from the Divine and participate in shifting the energy of the planet.

Today my intention is to live in a state of Oneness, deeply connected to all of life. I am willing to accept greater spiritual responsibility and practice at a higher level.

There are moments when it seems that nothing works. The mind is too busy for meditation, logic ceases and feelings of frustration or apathy set in. This is an opportunity for transformation and more importantly, to cease feeling trapped by the mind and flow with the heart. In the state of “breakdown” old structures no longer work and here we have an opening through which we can enter a new world, cultivate a new perspective and find new responses to life situations.

The ego will attempt to solve these unsettling moments by trying to get things back to the way they were; however, the way forward is to enter the gap of no-thingness, moving into an area of authentic neutrality. This moment of releasing old structures would not have arisen if your soul wasn’t ready and willing to receive.

On the road to enlightenment, we journey through three layers of energy: individual, collective and cosmic. This cosmic energy is the infinite light of the Divine and it sparks into use with enlightenment. The paradox of life is this: one gets as much as one is able to give up and let go.

Today my intention is to flow with whatever life offers, constantly moving forward, opening to new experience and discovering new aspects of myself in healthy, joyful ways.

Growth requires one thing – courage. We must be willing to take a risk, to delve into the unknown and make an attempt to dialogue with all of existence. If you rely too must on creating safety by building walls around you, everything is blocked… the challenges as well as the joys of discovery. If you are courageous enough to drop defense mechanisms and allow yourself to be vulnerable, who knows what may happen? There are no guarantees, and yes, there may be hazards along the way, but that is what seeking is all about.

The gifts you discover are yours to share. You loved yourself enough to set out on this journey, and love allows you to align with the Divine and discover facets of your existence which are ready to shine. We ride the highs and lows of life assisting one another one the way and this is the moment of transformation.

Today my intention is to give myself permission to be all that I can be. I deserve the very best that life has to offer.

Love rains down upon you from all dimensions. From the first conscious breath of a day filled with limitless possibility, to the embrace of twilight and everything in between, if you seek to find love you will find it. That’s the power of being awakened. We discover the joy of choosing how we wish to approach each moment and understand that life reflects it back to us.

No matter where you are on the journey, recognize that you are a master in the process of awakening. When it seems like challenge after challenge is being presented, walk courageously forward knowing that it is merely a pattern making itself known because it’s ready to be released.

You can create the life of your dreams and it begins now. Live it this moment. Forgive those who challenge you and make the choice to see them instead as healing angels who are helping you to cultivate your most precious qualities. There has never been, nor will there ever be, anyone with your way of being in the world – shine on, wondrous being of light!

Today my intention is to be the change I wish to see.

The way to feel fulfilled and balanced is to give your full attention to the present moment. No matter what you choose to do, do it completely; otherwise, your mind will carry that moment with you, gnaw at it and dissatisfaction will present itself in your experience. For instance, if you choose to take a bath, give it your full attention. Enjoy the scents and the feel of the water on your skin. Stay in gratitude for those who have made such a moment of peace possible. Immerse yourself completely in the experience. When finished, you will drop the idea of bathing and simply move on to the next action. If while you bathe you worry about the kids, how to solve a particular challenge or rush through it to get to the next thing, you deny yourself the gift of being fully present, and perhaps later find yourself wishing you had taken a moment to relax – the mind is carrying the past.

When we slow down – eating, walking, interacting and moving through the world with consciousness – the energy remains balanced. It’s easier to stay aligned with the present moment because the mind will not be carrying the unfinished business of the day. The internal monologues of the mind are a by-product of incomplete living and we can create peace in our experience by living each moment fully.

Today my intention is to create a loving space of peace and balance. I will practice giving every task my full and complete attention.

The source of light and love resides within you. This infinite energy radiates outward, ultimately touching everyone and everything. We live in connection with one another. It’s time to go beyond the limitations of the mind by going inward. In meditation, you experience the eternal aspect of who you are. When you learn how to reside in the stillness of Now, the energy transforms every aspect of your life. Greater creativity arises, more compassion and a quietness of spirit, for you are the light of love.

Many people struggle with the concept of worthiness and are unwilling or unable to receive love, abundance or joy into their experience. The very idea of approaching the present moment with a sense of ease and grace eludes them and instead, they attach to outcomes and become trapped within the highs and lows of events. Have compassion for these beautiful beings knowing that the best way to teach is to become more aware of the light within yourself. Be the change you wish to see and allow yourself to be a reflection of the peace, potential and Presence of those around you.

Today my intention is to create a space in which transformation can occur.

Repeated visualization changes your body on a cellular level, your mind on an intellectual level, your heart on an emotional level and your consciousness on every plane of existence. Therefore; visualize compassion, love, bliss, freedom and joy. See yourself choosing joy in every situation. These limitless ideas will inspire you to play in new realms of experience of the awakened heart and mind.

The world is filled with possibility and each of us has the opportunity to cultivate our unique way of walking the journey. Learning to slow down, breathe consciously, see yourself creating the life of your dreams and then let go and allow it to unfold in miraculous ways. Sometimes it can help to visualize a sacred image or figure who is traditionally known to carry the qualities you wish to expand within yourself. For instance, if you feel a kinship with Quan Yin, see her in your mind, appreciate the aspects you find inspiring with the knowledge that they are reflections of something which is already within you. Eventually, you will expand the idea to witness Quan Yin in all those with whom you interact.

Let your visualizations inspire you to transform your life in wonderful ways. The wisdom, compassion and kindness that you seek are within, waiting to be explored.

Today my intention is to embody compassion. I am willing to experience life with an open heart.
