Life is rarely as serious as our mind makes it out to be.

“I take brisk walks in the sunshine to invigorate my
body and soul.”
~ Louise Hay ~

Your inner voice speaks through the wordless language of the heart. Stillness allows us to access the clarity which comes from transcending the dualities and paradoxes of life. You can recognize wisdom by how it makes you feel. Truth brings peace, even when the information is not exactly what you wished to hear.

Conversely, the ego speaks through the language of the mind. It is incessant, repetitive, often contradicting and seems to pull us in multiple directions at once. When you feel confused, see it as a reminder that you need to seek stillness and center yourself. Then you will be able to hear your truth.

When you are centered in truth, your whole life becomes a prayer, a mediation, one filled with grace and beauty that seems to flow through you from the Divine.

Today my intention is to inhale the precious breath of life, and allow my body, mind and emotions to relax.

Find your passion… and give yourself to it.

“Every experience I have leads me to a greater understanding of my purpose on Earth.”
~ Louise Hay ~

Many people struggle to find and express their unique gifts and wonder how to live their lives in a way that is vibrant and fulfilling. Often this search is attached to the need for security and safety. Instead, try asking “What do I have to offer?” When you live a passionate, authentic life, fulfillment and security will come.

“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an external question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your life.”
~Trevor Noah~

Today my intention is to easily flow with new experiences and new opportunities.

Never doubt the power of your dreams.

“Whatever I am guided to do will be a success.”
~ Louise Hay ~

All transformation begins with a thought. Thought begets movement, and movement opens new channels of energy that contain infinite potential.

When you live in celebration of life and love, you scatter the seeds of possibility. Everything around you expresses the harmony of that love and sparkles of energy dance in your light.

Ultimately, spiritual awakening is about living fully present. It is the gathering of experience, the awakening of wisdom and the expression of blissfulness. Share your joy. Drink the nectar of life and allow those in your realm of influence to share in the abundance.

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

Face fear when it arises knowing that every situation plays a significant role in your soul’s growth.

“Good now flows into my life from expected and unexpected channels.”
~ Louise Hay ~

“Everyone feels fear. But giving in to fear is what makes our lives narrow and dark. Fear-based action is the source of all conflict, fearful response, the root of all sorrow. Fear is what prevents intimacy and undermines love. But we’re often not aware of how fear drives so much of what we do. There is often fear behind what we call kindness, fear in ambition, in depression, and always fear in anger. Every time we give in to fear we lose our life. In fear we imagine a terrible future, and in this imagining we create a terrible present. We bring upon ourselves the very misery that we are desperately trying to push away. The secret to living with fearful feelings is saying yes to the objects of fear – not being swallowed by them, but welcoming them as invitations to move toward freedom.”
~ Ezra Bayda ~

Challenging situations always contain a gift. See them as opportunities to examine outmoded beliefs and blockages. As we face our fears we learn ways to access our courage while cultivating empowerment and self-reliance. You are stronger than you know. Transform every experience in your life into a dance of awakening.

Today my intention is to easily flow with new experiences. I now choose to recognize the magnificence of my being.

Allow your life to be your message.

“I see only harmony around me at all times. I am always safe and secure.”
~ Louise Hay ~

When communicating with another, ask yourself if what you say will bring joy or healing to the situation or offer loving support. If so, proceed. If not, consider why you wish to speak. Is the ego engaged? You may discover that the most loving thing you can do is quietly hold space rather than participating in drama.

Human nature is to talk about the latest kerfuffle or the most outrageous piece of information being disseminated in the “news.” Often disingenuous phrases begin with “Did you hear…?” Beware of this tendency. Choose not to increase the dysfunction of the world through gossip, anger or fear.

“When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know. But if you listen, you may learn something new.”
~ Dalai Lama ~

You bring something new and beautiful to the world. Seek to be a light in the darkness.

Today my intention is to remember that peace begins with me.

There is nothing to be gained by being unkind. Love yourself and then allow that energy to flow outward throughout your life.

“As I change, the world around me is transformed.”

Awareness does not come through trying. It moves through our lives like a living flame, burning away limiting beliefs and habitual patterns. We learn to see through the projections of the mind to the truth that lies within.

Become the observer, detached and peaceful. See what changes you can make in your thinking and actions and simply watch how that affects your life experience. There is always something new to learn. With each moment we have an opportunity to shine a little more, to love a little more.

Any resistance (whether from within yourself or from those around you) is a sign that the changes you are creating are authentic. Resistance is the ego’s way of trying to maintain it’s hold – bless it and release it. As you push through, the transformation accelerates. True spiritual practice is about opening to life.

Today my intention is to be an authentic example of unconditional love and compassion.

Life has a tendency to distract us from seeing our own beauty.

“It’s as though, knowing that everything is possible, suddenly nothing is necessary.”
~Diana Gabaldon~

Just be. Get out of the stories of the mind, release the limiting beliefs about who you are. Seek to create freedom from the constricting movement of thought, the “shoulds” that destroy the peace of the present moment.

It takes practice to release habitual thoughts and behavior. Old thoughts and ways of being create creases of energy that draw back us into patterns that distract us from seeing our own beauty.

Before you travel hither and yon searching for meaning, gurus and experiences. Stop, be still and breathe. When you look beneath the roles you play, you’ll discover only an enchanting realm of infinite possibility. It’s in that realm that freedom awaits, and it already exists within you.

Bring stillness wherever you are. There’s no one special to be or anything to prove. You are here Now, and that’s all that matters.

Today my intention is to honor myself, my journey and this moment as sacred.

Cultivate inner balance and bring the best version of yourself
to this moment.

Today I am willing to create a miracle.

There is a place where passion can emerge
where joy can be felt
and silence heard.

In the stillness love calls to me.
The more I share,
the more room I create to receive.

Bless
Allow
Dance
Shine
Be

The light of your consciousness will guide the way home.

Today my intention is to be an authentic expression of kindness, joy and compassion. I can be the change I wish to see.

Be present with whatever is happening without believing
your judgments about it.

“Today is my stepping-stone to new awareness
and greater joy.”
~Louise Hay~

Fixed beliefs and boundaries block us from experiencing life’s mysteries. Don’t play it safe – act from the heart and allow circumstances to unfold as they will. No matter how things appear, you are loved, supported and guided each and every step of the way.

We learn through contrasts. Confusion eventually leads us to greater awareness. Hatred teaches us the importance of love. Loss renews our ability to create. No matter what unfolds in your experience, remember that there are infinite possibilities to explore.

Your thoughts create your reality. Fearful, negative or imbalanced thoughts create a filter that block your ability to see things clearly. Pay attention and purposely choose thoughts that expand your vision. In the midst of challenge, for instance, one can choose to move into gratitude and faith even if the gift has yet to be discovered. The willingness to do so opens the gateways of awareness.

Today my intention is to constantly have new insights and new ways of looking at the world.
