The flow of love

Soul-inspired love is filled with energy and possibility.

“Love flows through my very being. It touches everyone I meet and leads me to greater compassion.”
~ Louise Hay ~
Our greatest joy is found in giving. Relationships are a fascinating energetic field of discovery. Within them we discover the mysteries of love within the intricate dance of light and dark. Learning to honor another’s path while appreciating the contrasts between us awakens our ability to love without demands. Rather, we seek wholeness within ourselves and bring a sense of grace and acceptance to all of our interactions.

Your love, whether inspired by your partner, children, animals, those in need, the planet or (for the advanced among us) your enemies, should be a living, thriving, evolving space of exploration. There is no end to what we can discover together.

Live from the heart and allow life to unfold as it will.

Today my intention is to be an authentic example of the love, light and laughter of the Universe.

The tapestry of life

Act with integrity, do your best, accept what is.

“With my loving attitude, I help to create a world where it is safe for us to love each other.”
~ Louise Hay ~
Every moment, we are emitting eternal waves of energy outward. They ripple, expand and transform as they travel, creating a momentum of change. Consider that when you choose the words you speak or the actions you take. Bring a consciousness to your choices. If you were mindful of the spoken words power, would you choose to complain, blame or gossip or would you turn your attention toward something of greater value?

Be an inspiration. Share kindness with every one of earth’s children. Seek the sacred in all things. If the actions of others’ are hateful or dysfunctional, do not add to the imbalanced energy with judgment. Instead, be the change you wish to see. Your sense of purpose and your unique way of being has the power to change everything, whether you are a witness to that change or not.

Today my intention is to remember that every experience leads me to a greater understanding of my life’s purpose

Do what you love

You have something to offer that no one else does.

“A smiling face and joyful, loving words are the best presents I can share with everyone I know.”
~ Louise Hay ~
Moving from one achievement to the next, seeking the perfect relationship, moving from goal to goal is an ego-driven trap that keeps us believing that the perfect situation is out there and all that we need to do is reach it in order to achieve happiness. This approach to life will keep you searching.

Rather than seek security from outside factors, create a sense of peace and grace within yourself that is absolutely unflappable. Find your truth and live it to the best of your ability. Be yourself rather than who you think you should be.

You may discover that others find healing in the authentic energy you emit to the world. Success is measured only by the amount of joy and fulfillment you experience. The dollar amount changes, the presentation of your appearance changes, but the joy remains the same.

“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~
Today my intention is to bring a sense of purpose and joy to all that I choose to do. 

Allow and be free

Attachment and desire create dissatisfaction and pain.

“I inhale the precious breath of life; and I allow my body, mind and emotions to relax.”
~ Louise Hay ~
There is nothing wrong with having preferences; however, when those preferences become requirements, we experience frustration and pain in our experience. The degree of emotional distress you feel in a given situation is directly tied to how attached you were to a particular outcome; therefore, it’s important to practice detachment. Begin with the little things – a text, business meeting outcome, the amount of traffic or road closures you encounter on your journey or changing plans – and observe the emotional level of your response to life’s frustrations.

Awareness sparks transformation. The moment you notice you are behaving in an unconscious manner, consciousness is actually arising within you. The ability to recognize it in the present moment means that you are becoming more aware and  creates the opportunity to shift your thoughts and actions more quickly.

Live in alignment with the present moment. Non-resistance allows the Divine to inspire your actions. When we get out of our own way, amazing things happen.

Today my intention is to easily adapt to the ebb and flow of my life.

One change

Today’s choices create tomorrows experience.

“I choose to feel good about myself each day. Every morning I remind myself that I can make the choice to feel good. This is a new habit for me to cultivate.”
~ Louise Hay ~
It is said that baby steps spark miracles. Whether physical, spiritual, mental or emotional, any conscious change creates a movement of energy that will take you somewhere new. Begin today. Organize a closet, choose kindness over anger, meditate, take a walk, dream more, listen more, rearrange a room or give extra hugs to those you love… and see what unfolds. You may be pleasantly surprised.

“There is great value in doing new things, not just for diversion or escape, but in order to help us awaken. When we put ourselves in a new or foreign situation, that very act awakens our senses, our awareness, our presence. Sometimes we have to take a leap in order to experience and heal the fear that holds us ever at the edge of familiar safety. Our task in awakening is to go against the grain of our mechanical tendencies.”
~ Ezra Bayda ~

Today my intention is to see any changes I create as stepping-stones to new experience.

Forgiveness

It is safe for you to live beyond the expectations of others.

“I free myself and everyone in my life from old past hurts.”
~ Louise Hay ~
Anger and resentment are a waste of your precious energy. They drain vitality and ease from your life experience and harm no one but yourself. This energy can be transformed into gentleness through gratitude, meditation, mindfulness and a conscious choice to be free from the past.
The spiritual path calls upon us to reside fully in life, as it is in this moment. If there are pains that you carry, do not feel that you must push them down or deny them; rather, bring them to the light of your consciousness and transform them through acceptance and forgiveness. See the past through the filters of your current state of awareness and you may discover that freedom is at hand.
Forgiveness is really not about the other person at all. It is a gift that you give to yourself. There is no need for physical closure or a meeting of the minds (though these may occur naturally in time), just a quiet peace in the present moment will open your ability to love, trust and believe once again in the beauty and mystery of life.
Today my intention is to create peacefulness in my mind and trust my inner wisdom.

Opening to life

Life is about being open to experience, vulnerable and willing to expand into joy from wherever you are with what you have.

I am willing to greet life with open arms and an open heart.
Fear, judgment, limiting beliefs and doubt can keep us from opening ourselves to whatever life has to offer. Each moment is about experience. Every situation has something to teach, and we have the responsibility to greet life with open arms.
Those who remain stuck in old mindsets miss the joy of discovering their own beauty. When you interact with those who struggle with repeating patterns, hold them in your mind with love and compassion. Everyone is on the same path – the Path of Transformation. Whether we awaken in this particular lifetime or one yet to come, it’s important to remember that awakening and joy will definitely come.
This infinite Universe will continue to offer opportunities to discover love – again and again – until each one of us steps into enlightenment.
Today my intention is to love unconditionally remembering that we are here to help one another along the way.

Take one more step

What are you dreaming into being?

“I am willing to grow and change. Every moment presents a wonderful new opportunity to become more of who I am.” 
~Louise Hay~
Everything on your path is an opportunity to awaken. All that’s required is taking one conscious step forward. Let the momentum of enthusiasm, joy and acceptance inform whatever actions you choose to take, but above all else, take one more step and breathe one more breath into the heart.

Rather than being driven by the need of security, consider asking, “What do I have to offer?” No one else has your unique way of being in the world. Your energy creates an impact and you are an active player in our collective transformation. When you live from the heart, you create a space in which change can occur.

This moment, think about what you would like to create in your experience. Then, choose one simple action that you can joyfully embrace and see where you are led.
Today my intention is to find joy and satisfaction in all that I choose to do.

Soul groups

Celebrate those who grace your life.

“With my loving attitude, I help to create a world where it is safe for us to love each other.” 
~Louise Hay~
“The extent to which you are willing to be supported is an indication of your prosperity in the various areas of your life: career/productivity; familial relationships; relationships with friends; and spirituality. It is also a measure of your self-agape.”
~From Michael, The Basic Teachings~

In order for people to know and understand you, you must be willing to be open and vulnerable. Intimacy allows us to truly connect with with another. Younger souls believe they must be completely self-reliant. Old souls have learned the value of giving and receiving support.

Celebrate those who grace your life. Chances are that you have been playing together for lifetimes, utilizing many differing roles to assist in the collective journey of awakening. As Rumi wrote. “We are all just walking each other home.”
Today my intention is to be grateful for all the people and circumstances that have led me to this moment.

Look within

The people in your life always do the best they can based upon their imprinting, soul age and level of consciousness… and so do you.

“I use my Inner Wisdom to run the business of my life.” 
~Louise Hay~
All that you need is already within you.

Some people spend years searching for answers. Their library is filled with spiritual tomes and they can list names of various teachers with whom they have worked. Yet many have never stilled the mind and taken the time to discover their own inner wisdom.
The spiritually awakened soul has no need of rules or structure. He or she lives by an internal code of conduct that cannot be swayed by trends or weakened by misunderstandings. The light of compassion shines through into every area of their experience.
You have the ability to choose how you will walk through the world. See those who are in the midst of awakening as your students and honor the path they travel as an integral part of their souls journey.
Be the change you wish to see in the world. Share your light and gifts whenever possible and let your life be your message.
Today my intention is to remember that we are One.
