Conscious love

Allow the winds of heaven to dance in between you.

“Love is the bridge between you and everything.”
~Rumi~

Conscious love allows you to discover who you are in the presence of another. It feels supportive, empowered and safe. The desire is toward expression and freedom.

Ego-driven love is filled with drama. It seeks to cling, demands constant validation and contains a sense of longing or fear of impending loss.

Both serve valid purposes in our awakening. When the ego engages, it provides opportunities to heal the barriers to love that we carry. We fumble toward ecstasy – sometimes caught in repetitive patterns that linger until our awareness transforms them. Soul-driven love rises above fear and is an genuine expression of the heart that leads to intimacy. It allows the other person enough space to evolve in their own way.

When you love yourself and are completely fulfilled and happy on your own, you are ready to experience authentic, conscious love from another.

Today my intention is to bring an unprotected heart to our meeting place.

Personal responsibility and empowerment

Let your life be your message.

“If you understand it, the world is a great device to make you conscious. Your enemy is your friend, and the curses are blessings, and the misfortunes can be turned into fortunes. It depends only on one thing: if you know the key of awareness.”
~Osho~

Challenging situations are blessings in disguise – always. When faced with frustration or pain, go deeper into the present moment. Without asking the other person to understand you, seek to understand yourself.

It is helpful to utilize the energy of gratitude by saying “I am grateful for this situation. Even though I may not yet understand the lesson or be aware of gift, I know one awaits me.” The willingness to be grateful in the midst of challenge opens you to higher levels of consciousness.

As you release old layers of programming and dysfunction, your life will naturally become more peaceful. Rather than be reactive, your responses will be mindful and empowered. The key to awakening is simply taking full responsibility for your life as it is while transforming the mundane into the miraculous.
Today my intention is to stay alert. My life is a walking meditation.

Take one conscious step forward

You can create the life of your dreams

“It is always worth considering, ‘Am I blissful the way I am living?’ If one is not then one must take risks. New paths, new life styles, a new search will have to be undertaken.”
~Osho~

Each day take one conscious step forward toward your goals, fresh ideas or spiritual enlightenment. This allows new aspects of yourself to awaken. Change provides the opportunity to cultivate facets of your personality that have remained dormant in your current way of living.

Change doesn’t guarantee happiness or success, but it does open the doors of infinite possibility. A joyful journey does not depend so much upon the path we travel as it depends upon the traveler.

If your growth feels stagnant, your current way of living may have served it’s purpose in your development. Take the lessons you have learned and move on to something new. Ultimately, you are the culmination of all that you have experienced. Mastery comes through the integration of knowledge from these different experiences into a new way of being.
Today my intention is to see potential and change it into actuality.

The path

path of light

You were born to thrive, to learn and to awaken.

“What is the path? Residing in this very life exactly as it is right now… liking or not liking has nothing to do with it.”
~Ezra Bayda~

Your spiritual work begins here and now. Sit, observe your breath for a moment and listen. Feel the textures and nuances of the present moment and see your life, and all the rough edges of it, as perfect.

Choose to bring periodic moments of stillness into your experience today. What do you notice? With each new circumstance or interaction, seek to discover something new. Even the familiar or the mundane can be transformed through this practice.

Letting life be is an act of self love. You deserve your compassion and your kindness. Begin with what you have from where you are.
Today my intention is to open up and connect.

Be an ambassador of peace

Choose to bring something peaceful to life’s conversation.

“One has to become feminine. One has to become receptive rather than being aggressive. One has to learn the art of relaxation rather than learning the strategies of how to conquer the world.”
~Osho~

Our state of consciousness affects everything and everyone around us. When you embrace the beauty of life with gratitude and appreciation, it naturally opens your ability to receive. Empowerment is simply the realization that you determine how you experience the present moment.

The enlightened soul operates from a place of quiet awareness. When in the midst of challenging circumstances, seek to go within to create change. The shift happens first on the inner, then we see it reflected in our life experience.

Thus, everything becomes a movement of energy in the game of awakening. We begin to see others as soul mates and participants who assist with our spiritual growth and development.
Today my intention is to live with an open heart.

Attachment and disappointment

Posted on by

The depth of your suffering indicates the intensity of your attachment.

“Disappointment is always a reminder that you’re still attached to something. Take that disappointment as opportunity to investigate and awaken.”
~Ezra Bayda~

The secret of life is to experience it fully. When we close ourselves off out of anger, fear, disappointment or frustration, we limit our ability to discover something new. Look for exciting ways to show love and kindness. Share your light in such a way that it transforms the vision of those around you.

Participate without attachment. The willingness to seek the lesson ensures that you will always find one. Act with integrity, do your best, and accept what is with the knowledge that your soul knows exactly what it is doing. Everything in your experience serves a unique purpose on your journey of awakening.
Today my intention is to trust the flow of life.

Self expression

Articulation solidifies the truth of your beliefs.

“I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers.”
~Kahlil Gibran~

Old souls need to teach a certain amount of people before they leave the planet. This allows articulation of one’s insight and beliefs learned on the journey of transformation. There will be times when you may discover that it’s challenging to utilize mere words to explain your perception of the infinite. These are the moments that we teach by example.

With each transition to higher states of consciousness the Divine sends someone to you specifically for this purpose. Live your truth and bless those who demand that you be consistent and authentic. This anchors each new layer of spiritual understanding.

All of us share the same journey of awakening. As Ram Dass once said, “We are all just walking one another home.”
Today my intention is to walk my talk and speak my truth with integrity.

Thrive, awaken, participate

Be courageous and dream a new world into being.

“…Realize that your dream is fueled by the passion of the soul rather than the will of your ego and find a way to act courageously before the day ends.”
~Alberto Villoldo~

Seek to expand your ideas, dreams and behavior. Honor the sacred path of your souls awakening by taking one conscious action today. What do you wish to create? What can you do to bring that energy into your experience? Small consistent actions add up to powerful transformation. Begin now.

When we first begin to observe our thoughts and words, it can be surprising to discover how often they destabilize our precious balance. We activate the power of the soul by re-framing old limitations and focusing on the gift, the goal and the potential within the present moment.

Our role is to engage life from the level of soul rather than the level of mind. Our lives are epic journeys of spiritual maturation and courage is born of the willingness to walk forward with faith. Trust your inner wisdom and know that you are an empowered participant in the collective awakening of the planet.
Today my intention is to look at life as a journey of discovery and growth.

Cherish the moment

This moment is beautiful. And precious. And gorgeous.
“Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have Make the Now the primary focus of your life.”
~Eckhart Tolle~
Are you blissful? Rather than trying to fix what is “wrong” in order to bring greater joy into your life experience, choose to go deeper into the joy of the present moment and watch the positive changes that naturally begin. Cultivate the rightness. Don’t fight illness, just try to be healthy.

The inner processes of awakening call upon us to become conscious of how we utilize our energy. You direct the flow with your thoughts and attention. Focus on the beauty and it becomes more apparent and easier to access. This is the very obvious difference between cursing and bemoaning the darkness or simply choosing to turn on a light.

Rejoice in the beauty that surrounds you. Become enchanted and fall madly in love with life. In that state of blissful awareness you’ll discover that even when all seems chaotic, all is well.
Today my intention is to follow my bliss.

The doorway of perception

Posted on by

Your level of consciousness determines how you view the world.

“Realize that the feeling we need fixing is predicated on the belief that we are broken. That belief is just another thought.”
~Ezra Bayda~

Memories, judgments and opinions create blockages in your experience. They reflect the programming that your experience of life has presented via imprints and upbringing, societal consciousness, advertising, spiritual and political ideology.
If we were to remove all titles (which carry all sorts of implied and “accepted” truths) and just experience what is without a filter limiting the experience, we’d see life from a myriad of viewpoints. We rarely see things as they are: we see things as we are.
Awakening is the systematic removal of limited perception. When you look at a flower or a tree, notice the minds tendency to name it rather than experiencing it with your senses. Take a moment to breathe in it’s presence, let your eyes take in each detail, feel the texture and listen to its message. The infinite is all around you, and within you. Listen without words.
Today my intention is to see clearly.
