We are consciousness

Posted on by

Your state of consciousness matters.

“The heart that seeks to awaken, to live genuinely, is more real than anything. That nameless drive calls you to be who you most truly are. ”
~Ezra Bayda~

Imagine being the type of person who gracefully flows with whatever life has to offer. Imagine that it is easy to move into compassion, to drop judgment or be mindful. See yourself as an ever-evolving being of light and love. Can you see it? If you imagine it, you can achieve it.

The Universe seeks only to express itself through you. Your job is to remove any obstacles that you carry – old beliefs, limiting patterns, emotional baggage – and to live in abundance and joy.

When each of us does our own work, transformation is not only possible but probable. Our state of consciousness matters. Purposely choose to be a bringer of light rather than participating in ego-driven behavior for you are a master in the process of awakening.
Today my intention is to walk my talk and speak my truth with integrity.

 

A quiet mind

Posted on by

Stillness speaks.

“A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part. ”
~Nisargadatta Maharaj~

If your thoughts create turmoil in your experience, let them go. If your desires make you feel that you are missing something, let them go. If you are looking for love, you are looking in the wrong place. Be love.

When you quiet the mind you can feel the pulse of life. Take a breath and draw in unconditional love and the essence of pure potential. Feel every cell of your body awaken with new vitality and a joy of being.

When you honor your path as sacred, you open the door to higher planes of consciousness. It is here right now, where you are. Be willing to drop the things that no longer serve you. This creates the space in which a transformation can occur.
Today my intention is to simplify.

Write a new chapter

When you notice yourself speaking often of the past, make a conscious effort to bring yourself fully into the present moment. The Now is your true point of power.

“Looking with a mind that’s awake reveals the shimmering pulse of life. Looking with a mind full of thoughts reveals only your thoughts. ”
~Ezra Bayda~

Maturity has nothing to do with the experiences you have had or what you have achieved. The depth of your awakening is discovered by journeying within and expressed by how you merge the insights you have had into your experience of the present moment.

Honor the past as your teacher but allow the emotional intensity to fade. See everything as an integral aspect of your spiritual growth, the fulfillment of soul contracts or planting the seeds of consciousness.

With that in mind, walk in the present moment with a sense of innocence and trust. Know that you have infinite potential and allow the seeds that have been planted to bloom into new experiences and understanding. You are the co-creator of your own story.
Today my intention is to be here Now.

 

See things differently

Posted on by

As you change, the world around you is transformed.

“Life is an adventure. Invite constant adventures, and whenever a call comes from the unknown, listen to it. Risk all and go into the unknown, because this is the only way to live at the maximum. ”
~Osho~

As an old soul, you view life differently and walk a unique path of experience. Many old souls go through a period of struggle because they do not fit in. This is a purposeful aspect of higher levels of consciousness. Embrace it!

We are here to assist in the transformation of the planet. You have chosen to be here now for a specific purpose and, until you discover your path, simply live in accordance with love. The truth will make itself known in the perfect way at the perfect time.

Each life you touch sends waves of energy outward in all directions. This interconnectedness becomes more apparent as the coincidences and synchronicities merge around you. Know that you are guided, loved and supported each and every step of the way.

Millions of possibilities await discovery. Everything is divine. Seek with an open heart and mind and choose to enjoy the journey of discovery.
Today my intention is to be aware and alert and let things happen.

 

Living without judgment

Posted on by

You can create a safe space where others can thrive.

“The greatest gift that you can give others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance. ”
~Brian Tracy~

Release any thoughts of judgment about friends, family, strangers, those in the spotlight or hidden behind the scenes. This can be accomplished by seeing everyone as a spark of the Divine with the knowledge that each of us plays a vital role in the awakening consciousness of the planet.

Eliminate labels from your experience and choose to interact with each person from a place of acceptance, compassion and kindness. This creates a space in which a transformation can occur.

When people live trapped by their own opinions, judgments and expectations, they block the flow of love. Opinions and labels set up limitation of others and of ourselves because they dictate current behavior based upon a set of previous rules and restrictions.

Bring an unprotected heart to your meeting place. Disengage limiting thought and simply share your light with whomever crosses your path. You will discover that a sense of ease and grace flows through you into whatever unfolds in your experience.
Today my intention is to honor all paths as sacred. All is well. 

Seeing others

Posted on by

It’s surprising how often we feel betrayed by our own filters of projection.

“When we first meet people, we inevitably see them through the filters of all our associations, expectations and projections. Over time, as the filters diminish, we may feel betrayed or deceived: ‘You’re not the person you were when we first met!’ Of course they’re not – in fact, they never were. ”
~Ezra Bayda~

Relationships offer opportunities to explore hidden aspects of ourselves. We act as mirrors for one another, reflecting whatever needs to be seen. Bless those who challenge you, for they are willing to risk losing your love and goodwill in order to help you discover who you are.

It often seems that the one thing that we want from another is the one thing that is hardest for them to give. This tango of desire and frustration eventually motivates us to awaken and is, in fact, the exact reason you initially attracted that energy into your life.

The best way to see through your projections is to heal the shadows within yourself. As you clear repetitive patterns, release expectations and learn to accept what is, your relationships will transform.
Today my intention is to act with integrity, do my best and accept what is.

Detachment

Posted on by

Enjoy life and all that it has to offer. When joy comes from within, it is not dependent upon things, people or circumstances.

“Detachment does not mean non-involvement. You can be deeply involved but not entangled. ”
~Jaggi Vasudev~

The level of anxiety you experience in a given situation indicates the level of attachment you have created. Use the circumstances of your life to measure your growth in this area. Just observe. Notice, notice, notice, and when required, purposely shift your thoughts from desire to acceptance.

There is an ebb and flow to life that is natural and necessary. Both the highs and lows have something to teach. Enjoy your successes and all they have to offer. Enjoy too your failures, for they provide an opportunity to discover your strengths and can teach things that success cannot.

Everything changes. When we live in detachment, anxiety disappears and we learn how to truly appreciate the present moment. So, whatever comes your way, experience it. Enjoy it and create bliss you in your experience.
Today my intention is to remember that this too, shall pass. 

Life is responding to you

Posted on by

Want to create change? Begin within.

“By taking responsibility for how you choose to respond to anything or anyone, you’re aligning yourself with the beautiful dance of life. ”
~Wayne Dyer~

Empowerment is not about controlling the events of your life. It is awakened by bringing a conscious awareness to how you choose to respond to the circumstances you encounter. Once we discover that all that we experience is a reflection of our own state of consciousness, we can learn to rise above blame or the tendency to complain, and go within to create change.

Pay attention to repetitive experiences. If you notice that you draw in people who create drama, seek to balance that tendency within yourself. If you notice that the people around you are generous and compassionate, realize that you, too, are expressing those beautiful qualities.

The world acts as a mirror, allowing you the opportunity to see yourself more clearly. What you do with that knowledge is up to you.

As you become more enlightened, the world becomes a beautiful place full of potential and endless opportunities to express love.
Today my intention is to honor this moment as sacred.

Karmic imprints

Posted on by

There is much more to life than meets the eye.

“Whatever makes you uncomfortable is your biggest opportunity for growth. ”
~Bryant McGill~

Our energetic bodies carry the informational history of every life we have ever lived. Traumatic past-life events create a wound in the aura that can be triggered by interacting with a soul that inflicted old pain or finding oneself in similar circumstances or patterns. Often these karmic imprints seem to come out of nowhere. They feel real and disruptive and must be healed at the level of spirit.

For instance, if you drowned in a past life, being in water may be frightening for you. If your soul wants to address this, you may subconsciously choose to live near water in this lifetime so that you can face your fears. The proximity to water brings that energy to the surface. If your soul desires a break from working with drowning fears, you may subconsciously choose to live in the desert and that imprint would remain dormant.

Operate from the premise that everything in your life plays a vital role in your awakening and that you are safe, guided and supported each and every step of the way. Conscious participation allows you to find inner balance and release old imprints. Neutrality about a person or situation indicates that the karma has been cleared.
Today my intention is to remember that I am a master in the process of awakening. 

The addiction to worry

Posted on by

Ever wonder what would happen if you gave up the addiction to worry?

“If a problem is fixable, if a situation is such that you can do something about it, then there is no need to worry. If it’s not fixable, then there is no help in worrying. There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever. ”
~Dalai Lama XIV~

Many masters have taught that worry is a waste of your precious energy. Live today consciously, mindfully attend to your tasks, be responsive rather than reactive and allow tomorrow to take care of itself.

When you place your full attention on the present moment and do one task at a time, it drops from your consciousness. There is no need to carry additional thought or worry about it. Worry arises only when something is left unaccomplished or we know that we have rushed through a task in order to get to the next thing.

To break the addiction, focus on doing one thing at a time – fully and completely. Your conscious focus will slow down your concept of time, everything will get completed, typically with greater accuracy than when it is rushed. Practice extreme alignment with the Now. You’ll discover the ease and grace which comes from living a Zen life.
Today my intention is to be present and do what needs to be done.
