There is nothing more beautiful than the sharing of energy with intention.

“Our dreams are magic, and if respected, nurtured and honored, they ultimately bring an abundance of meaning and purpose to our lives. Dreams guide us as we reach for the stars, follow our heart’s desire and do the things we are passionate about. Dreams help weave the fabric of who we are, and they reveal what matters most to us. They allow our spirits to shine, and they reflect our uniqueness and authenticity.”
~Sandra Magsamen~

Threads of energy weave a tapestry of exquisite beauty and we are constantly in the process of creation. As we awaken, we have a greater capability to direct these energies consciously – to heal, learn and commune with each other and the world around us.

Seek to understand the connectedness of which we are all a part. There is no “other,” simply a dance of contrasts that awakens a world of infinite possibility. Remember, all that you see is but 1% of what is actually engaged around you. Send light and love across the miles for there is no limitation in time and space.

This moment is sacred and transformation is at hand. Scatter seeds of joy and nurture them with humor, love and positive intention. What does your garden grow?

Let your life be your message.

“The more we practice with our own struggles and relate to them as our vehicle to awakening, the less we will judge our struggles as defects. Likewise in relationships: the more we can remember that others also have the wish to learn from their struggles, the less we will judge others as defective when we see them caught in their distress.”
~Ezra Bayda~

As we walk this journey of awakening, we undoubtedly draw in the perfect people and circumstances to facilitate our growth. Challenges or indecision help us to become aware of what is ready to be healed. Support arrives when we are willing to receive. When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

When you have a breakthrough, quietly share that new energy with the people in your life by being more peaceful, less reactive, quicker to accept or forgive. Those who are ready to learn from what you have to offer will be drawn to you. Otherwise, simply see your loving actions as seeds that may one day take root.

Consistently do your work. This world is our playground of discovery, filled with infinite possibility and there is always something new to discover.

Love is simply discovering who you are in the presence of another.

“You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.”
~Thich Nhat Hanh~

Relationships offer fertile ground for spiritual practice. When in doubt as to the appropriate action or response, utilize the Celtic vows of friendship. Ask yourself, “Am I honoring his or her path as sacred?” Often we try to get others to adjust to our path. The key is to allow enough space for each person to thrive while offering love and support.

It’s important to be self-observant. Are you bringing an open heart to your interactions or do you keep protective measures in place? Relating to another is authentic when we feel safe and empowered; therefore, notice when you are closed down and tend to your inner state of consciousness prior to your interactions to ensure that you are open.

Nothing is more important than your state of consciousness in the present moment. Zen calls upon us to reside in the Now without distraction. Practice being fully present with those who grace your life. You’ll discover that time slows as inner joy is awakened. Love creates a space in which a transformation can occur.

Honor the present moment as sacred.

“Experiencing the deepest connection with life often requires taking a step into unknown territory.”  

~Ezra Bayda~   

When pretenses fall away and we stop seeking outside validation, we begin to discover a new level of authenticity. This inner grace and balance is demonstrated by how we choose to participate in the world.

As you change, the world around you is transformed. Your loving actions plant seeds of unlimited potential and, when you act with integrity, it becomes easier to release attachment to how life unfolds.

Love those who grace your experience by being yourself. They need your kindness, clarity, compassion and inspiration. You bring something beautiful and unique to the world and its shines naturally from within.

How does consciousness expand?
By facing spiritual challenges with integrity, love and courage.

Spiritual tools are not cultivated unless we are able to utilize them during the course of our day-to-day lives while witnessing their transformative nature. There will certainly be moments when we feel overwhelmed or confused – this is absolutely necessary for the evolving soul.

As awakening masters, we have a tremendous opportunity to turn and shine the light of consciousness upon our challenges. When we have the courage bring them into the light of day, we begin to understand the perfection inherent in these impactful situations which herald our growth into new playgrounds of consciousness.

The key is to handle each challenge with as much willingness, compassion, love and kindness as possible. Conscious practice strengthens our ability to rise above the mechanisms of the mind. There will be moments when you miss the mark. That’s natural; however, through observation, you can purposely utilize the tools you have amassed thus far. Keep track of your choices, your intentions and how often you are able to tap into higher wisdom. Each situation is a gift that transforms how you experience the world.

Don’t wait for life to fall into place before you choose to be joyful.

Each day is filled with infinite possibility and offers countless opportunities to be joyful, fulfilled, content… Your work is to consciously choose joy again and again. The ego-mind, as it is wont to do, will seek to disrupt your peace. It will find the worst “what ifs” or dwell upon regret in order to blind you to the beauty that is all around.

Rather than seeing the ego as the enemy or something to be overcome, consider it a teacher. When we can transform our inner state of consciousness, we bring new insight and interpretation to our life experience. Joy allows you to rise above the mechanisms of the ego.

Obviously, every life is filled with challenges and moments of sadness. The awakening soul learns how to navigate these moments without the ripples of intensity disturbing the peacefulness within.

Joy is transformative. It expands our outlook and frees the heart.

Don’t hold back out of fear. Trust the processes of your awakening.

We must simultaneously enter deeper into the experiences of life, yet consciously remain detached and aware throughout the process. The contrasts of dark and light blend together to teach us the nuances of compassion.

Immerse yourself in the present moment. Feel what you feel without judgment and honor the sacredness of the passion that propels you onward to new levels of adventure. Rather than seeking freedom with reckless abandon, choose to bring awareness and mastery to your encounters.

Expanding consciousness calls upon us to be more alert. We notice our habitual patterns and utilize different actions to break free from stagnant conditions. Through intensity, we learn how to respond to life rather than be reactive. The paradox of heightened experience is that it simplifies things. By exploring all the facets of a given situation with a clear mind and heart, we discover, ultimately, that everything is love.

Your gifts and light can transform the world.

Your perception expands as your consciousness expands. The awakening soul has the capability to see things differently and, because of that sight, can bring a higher frequency energy into their transactions.

Some people feel compelled to be more outgoing, dealing with large groups of people, joyfully thinking big and set amazing changes in motion. For those who lead quieter lives, never doubt the impact your consciousness has on the world around you. Frequency holders bring a stillness to the planet. They tend to hug trees, children and animals, activating the heart chakras of each. Their kindness plants seeds which spark higher consciousness.

These gifts of spirit are transformative and both serve a vital purpose in our collective awakening. Love your journey for you bring something beautiful to the world.

Be aware of the energy and expectations that you send out into the world.

Learn to see the perfection in the imperfection.

You are an awakening master – transforming, expanding, loving, teaching. The gifts you have to share are innumerable. Choose to see your life as the unveiling of pure potential as you explore whatever awakens creative passion within you.

Many can remain trapped in ego-mind generated self doubt, criticism or judgment. This mindset blocks the ability to see clearly. As we learn to clear the mind and open as conduits for the universal life-force, something amazing begins to flow through us.

With one word of kindness, one act of compassion, one smile or spark of insight, everything can change and a new adventure begins. We are constantly in the act of creation, and through creation, we discover new aspects of ourselves.

Our practice is about opening to life and to one another. Never stop evolving.
