Opening to receive

Posted on by
This is the moment of renewed clarity, opening and awareness.
“The more Light you have, the better you can see what is trivial and outmoded in your conditioning.”
~Ralph Blum~
The light of consciousness dispels the darkness that obstructs some aspect of your life situation. When you choose to open to receive, it is ready to pour into you. Utilize your relationships to heighten your awareness. Seek to cultivate the art of love for you are the Universe in motion.

We are participating in a collective shift of energy. Joyousness illuminates our ability to see clearly and this new clarity may call upon you to shift direction and move into new experiences. Ask, “What do I have to offer?” and then allow love to lead the way.
Today my intention is to receive instruction from the Divine. I am a lifetime student of love.

Oneness with all life

Posted on by

Live gently.

“As we feel the pain that all people feel in facing an uncontrollable world, compassion naturally arises – even for our ‘enemies.’ ”
~Ezra Bayda~

Collectively, much of humanity is absorbed in the mundane, obsessed with appearances and the unfolding dramas around them and have forgotten or neglected the only thing that matters – awakening to the truth of who we truly are. Each of us is a fragment of the infinite Oneness of the Divine. Our journey here was intended to utilize forgetfulness to facilitate the joy of awakening.

See if you can see past the roles that people play (both consciously and unconsciously). Look deeper to connect with the soul of another and interact with them from a higher level of consciousness. Consider this: all definitions create limitation. See if you can stop defining yourself and others. Instead, operate as a field of awareness, bringing the vastness of soul connection into play.

When faced with opposition, remember that the other is acting from a place fear and has lost touch with the deeper perfection of life. This may foster compassion rather than anger. Thus, your actions will be based upon love, balance and perspective.
Today my intention is to follow the Zen adage: Don’t seek the truth. Just cease to cherish opinions.

Disruption

Life’s disruptions reveal your strengths.

“…something very beautiful happens to people when their world has fallen apart: a humility, a nobility, a higher intelligence emerges at just the point where our knees hit the floor.”
~Marianne Williamson~

Acceptance is saying “Yes” to life. It is not dependent upon liking what is unfolding, rather, it is an inner awareness that releases the ingrained habit of struggle and allows you to step into the present moment with power and grace.

You are much more than this body or this experience. You are a vast, infinite energy that is in the process of discovery. Simultaneously unique and part of the Oneness that connects us, we are here to discover how to live from the heart.

The purpose of the human existence is to experience every facet of life. So, lifetime after lifetime we play in the world of form. We interact with one another as lovers, enemies, teachers, family and friends in order to discover compassion. Our challenges send us on new roads of adventure and discovery. When you are ready to learn, you’ll find that everyone and everything is your teacher. Your unique way of being in the world will help you to access your inner wisdom.

Today my intention is to bring a higher awareness to my life situation.

Buddhist prayer of forgiveness

Forgiveness is releasing your attachment to resentment.

“Looked at from a spiritual standpoint, our discomfort in any given situation provides a signal that we are out of alignment with spiritual law and are being given an opportunity to heal something.”
~Colin Tipping~

As long as there is one person whom you can’t forgive, there is still work to be done. Every circumstance in our experience has meaning and purpose. The small injustices, the betrayals and lingering disappointments all point to aspects of ourselves that need to be cleared in order for us to be free.

Those who challenge you the most on the physical plane love you the most on a soul level. They are willing to risk losing your love and your goodwill to assist you in the most profound ways. Healing requires that we become consciously aware of our wounds. What better way than to generate an emotional upset that temporarily clouds your mind and your experience of joy? It grabs your attention and takes over.

The moment you recognize that you are behaving in a unconscious manner, you become more conscious. Now you have the ability to shift your thoughts and attention toward balance and healing. Bless the challenges of your life for they take you places you would never dare to walk on your own and ultimately lead you to mastery, insight and a deeper experience of love.
Today my intention is to transform shadows by shining the light of awareness.

Inspiration

Posted on by

Seek to be inspired, enchanted and amazed.

“There’s a voice in the Universe entreating us to remember our purpose, our reason for being here now in this world of impermanence. The voice whispers, shouts, and sings to us that this experience – of being in time space and time – has meaning.”
~Wayne Dyer~

What is the driving force of your life? You can choose to be inspired. Your birthright is to thrive, to be joyous, to discover how to live balanced and peacefully.

From a young age, we absorb conditioning that blinds us to life’s beauty. We are bombarded with violence in our art, sports and news reporting. Is it any wonder that it is now rising to the surface? Collectively, I believe we are engaged in the process of facing our shadow so that it can be healed.

Many believe that hatred is a necessary part of life. They fear people and things that are different and see any challenge to the status quo as something to be conquered. The only danger we face is the danger of losing compassion for one another.

Love resides at the core of all things – love, or a call to love. Seek to remove low energy vibrations from your personal experience. Cultivate a sacred space and purposely be conscious of what you’ll allow in your world. This calls upon us to break free from what is considered the norm and choose to experience the miracle of life in a way that is engaging and inspirational.

Today my intention is to live in the realm of infinite possibility.

Finding your purpose

Every moment provides a wonderful opportunity to discover your own true nature.

“When contemplating what our life’s work might be, we are often driven by our attachment to security. Perhaps the one question we don’t ask often enough is ‘What do I have to offer?'”
~Ezra Bayda~

For those in the process of discovery, still seeking your purpose or your direction, I salute you. The willingness to embark upon the path of transformation ensures that you will find it. The road may be long. It may cause you to pivot again and again as you explore the possibilities that sing your name, but that is the process of awakening.

Do not be discouraged. Your challenges will temper your abilities. Your disappointments will teach you how to be strong, to rebuild and to step out of limiting patterns. Eventually, you will simply discover what makes your heart sing as your life becomes a melody of joy and celebration.

Today my intention is to help create a world where it is safe to love one another.

How triggers help us to heal

Posted on by
Chakra Healing
Awakening is a constant process of feeling, observing and releasing.
“Mindfulness and meditation lead you gradually toward the four pillars of life: true work, true play, true study and true rest.”
~Jose Stevens~
When the soul is ready to work on a particular issue, a flare of energy attracts others to come and assist with the process of healing. Their role is to behave in a manner that brings the issue to the surface, so the process of getting triggered by someone is actually a gift of love.

The unhealed wounds we carry silently control our lives. We may often bury them under work, drama, busyness or by focusing on helping others; however, they are powerful even when dormant.

Once the trigger occurs and you’re feeling angry, sad, disappointed or reactive, notice it! See how quickly you can bring your attention to the thoughts that are guiding your actions in the present moment. They will give you an idea of what is ready to be healed. Awareness begins the process. Sit with the feeling without taking action. Shine the light of consciousness upon it without inner judgment. Visualize releasing the energy into the earth and replacing it with stillness. You may notice that if action is still needed, it may be the exact opposite of what the reactive mind wanted to do. Thus, mindfulness opens the way to peace in the present moment.
Today my intention is to take responsibility for my own joy.

Collective consciousness

Posted on by

What are you contributing to our collective experience?

“There is only one perpetrator of evil on the planet: human unconsciousness. That realization is true forgiveness. With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges – the power of Presence. Instead of blaming the darkness, you bring in the light.”
~Eckhart Tolle~

Whether alone or interacting with others, your state of consciousness matters. We constantly emit waves of energy into the Universe with our thoughts, words and actions. Some may believe that since they do not give action to their anger that it is harmless; however, the energy behind anger is actually quite destructive. So, when one consistently vents out loud in an empty room, cries behind closed doors or carries the weight of resentment, the negative energy is eroding the fabric of experience.

Conversely, those who begin and end the day with gratitude, emit kind and charitable thoughts, pray for those who need love, send light and healing outward or spread loving-kindness through their actions witness their world being transformed. As they change, everything around them begins to reflect a higher state of consciousness.

So, in the end it becomes very simple. Pay attention to the seeds of energy that you are planting in the world. Nurture those that bring beauty to your experience and know that loving energy will naturally expand outward.
Today my intention is to spread love and kindness.

 

The artist

Metaphysical Art 1

Life is filled with art, music, creativity and potential.

“I like nonsense, it wakes up brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of the telescope. Which is what I do and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”
~Dr Seuss~

You are the artist of your own experience. There is great joy in discovering your unique way of being in the world and sharing that gift with others. Observe how life makes it’s own art. See a leaf dancing caught within a spiders web. Watch the clouds create pictures. Listen to the symphony of sound that is all around you and then step into it. That is also a creative, immersive act.
When you choose to see through the eyes of love, you begin to unlock life’s mystery. The artist is a channel of divine inspiration. The moment shimmers with potential and we can allow that expansive energy to flow through us into the world of form.
 
Today my intention is to live differently.

 

The process of transformation

Posted on by

Within you, there is great beauty waiting to be discovered.

“As the lotus rises on it’s stalk unsoiled by mud and water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.”
~Buddha~

The slow, transformative process of change leads us inward. We must learn to turn and face our fears, acknowledge our challenges and honor them as sacred aspects of our awakening. The experiences of life allow us to cultivate new spiritual strengths and insights while providing the opportunity to apply them in the world of form.
Don’t shun the darkness for it makes the light even more beautiful. Love in the face of hatred is profound. The awakened soul sows kindness when others flee in fear. This world was created to teach through adversity and contrast and this is why we are called upon to rise above judgment. Rather than seeing some things as good and others as bad, we now are able to see the Oneness that connects them all.
You are right where you need to be. All that you need to know will make itself known to you in the perfect way at the perfect time. When you live authentically, your light will shine in the darkness.
 
Today my intention is to let every breath be a reminder of life’s magic.
