Transformation

Today, I am willing to accept a miracle

My life reflects good, and only good is reflected back at me. I am the cool, calm expression of life.
~Louise Hay~

“The basic pain of feeling separate and disconnected is a fundamental human experience. Yet when we consciously reside in the physical feeling of separation, we come closer to recognizing its insubstantiality. Continually bringing the light of awareness to our viscerally held beliefs, our pretenses, our protections, our anxieties, begins to dissolve these self-imposed boundaries, the boundaries that block awareness of the vast reality of being. This is the slow, transformative path to freedom.”
~Ezra Bayda~

All boundaries and frustrations are self-imposed. Freedom from these limitations creates movement and expansion in our experience. As we release our blockages, we discover that life is filled with miracles and love rains down upon us from all dimensions.

Be willing to receive all the beauty that life has to offer. Take the time to slow down and appreciate the present moment, for it is the moment of transformation.

Today my intention is to open my consciousness to the expansion of life with the knowledge that there is plenty of space for me to grow and change.

 

I hold no cherished outcome

I hold no cherished outcome.
I trust the processes of life.
~Louise Hay~

The human experience is meant to be one of discovery and adventure. The human condition is to attach to the known, to create boundaries and limitation and to judge certain circumstances as desire or non-desirable.

Many people become stuck trying to resist change due to their limited vision. How can we truly know what is best for our journey? Often, we can’t. Trust the processes of life by living from the heart and allowing circumstances to unfold as they will. When you face whatever unfolds with the knowledge that it is perfect, you create perfection.

Resistance is a mind-made judgment that something should be other than what it is. This approach is frustrating as best. Resist nothing. Allow. Be. You have more strength, wisdom and courage than you realize.
Today my intention is to bring an unprotected heart to our meeting place. I am willing to walk my talk and speak my truth with integrity.

Love, light and laughter

Embrace whatever unfolds in your experience.

My day begins and ends with gratitude and joy.
~Louise Hay~

“Just go on moving, enjoying whatsoever becomes available. If success is there, enjoy it. If failure is there, enjoy it – because failure brings a few enjoyments that no success can ever bring. Success also brings a few joys that no failure can ever bring.”
~Osho~

Spiritual consciousness has no judgment. It does not seek, nor can it be trapped by desire. It is free from limitation because it’s only wish is to experience life in the present moment. Beauty is everywhere when you choose to embrace what is.

“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~
Today my intention is to be an authentic example of unconditional love, compassion and acceptance. I am willing to say “Yes” to life, even the hard parts.

Honor all paths as sacred

Healthy relationships allow room for the winds of heaven to dance in between.

I create my own experiences. As I love and approve of myself and others, my life gets better and better.
~Louise Hay~

In all relationships, whether love, business, friendship or family, true partnership is only achieved when two whole and harmonious people come together and retain their uniqueness. Many people collapse themselves into the various unions in their lives, giving until they have nothing left to give, feeling under-appreciated or allowing resentment to build until they feel they must find their power once again.

Every relationship in your life is reflective of the one you have with yourself and with the Divine. Recognize that each interaction provides an opportunity for you to see yourself more clearly. Bring a sense of love and acceptance to the present moment with the knowledge that each situation is about working on yourself. As your focus moves within, space is created allowing the other person to do their own work as well.

“Spiritual practice is about increasingly entering into love – not personal love, but the love that is the nature of our being.”
~Ezra Bayda~
Today my intention is to remember that spiritual work is possible in one place only – here and Now.

True happiness

You are responsible for your own joy

True celebration arises from a joy that is first experienced deep within, and spills over into an overflow of song and dance and laughter, and yes, even tears of gratitude.
~Osho~

When you consciously choose to celebrate life, it becomes a sacred place. The human condition is to live in fear, resentment, desire, anxiety – all states of mind created by limited thought patterns.

Don’t wait for a reason to celebrate. Allow your expression of life to be a celebration in and of itself. Seek joy wherever you are. As you become more aligned with your true nature, you’ll find yourself able to live from the heart and move into the world from there.

Joy is waiting to be experienced. Harmony comes through simplicity. Be here Now, in awe of existence, grateful… there is no need to wait. Become more open to life. Feel more, sense the sacredness in all things and within yourself. This is the path to freedom.

Today my intention is to be the peace and harmony I wish to see.

Consistent spiritual practice

Let your life be your message.
I bring an unprotected heart to our meeting place.
Throughout your journey of awakening, you will feel drawn to different ideas, modalities and paths to enlightenment. As you find tools that inspire you, consistently work with them. If there comes a point where you “outgrow” that particular passion, that’s ok. Bring something new into your repertoire and move forward.

We never stop learning. Don’t allow complacency to trap you in a mindset that stalls your exploration. When life begins to fall into place (and it will!), it’s important to stay consistent with your spiritual practice rather than waiting for a time of imbalance to inspire you to begin anew.

The key is to walk through life with ease and grace no matter what unfolds. As you cultivate your strength and empowerment, you’ll bring that peacefulness into the present moment. Many experience that sense of ease and think they’ve reached the final destination; however, there are infinite levels still waiting to be explored.

“Spirituality is not the practicing of any virtue; spiritual is the gaining of a new vision. Virtue follows that vision; it comes on its own accord. It is a natural by-product. When you start seeing, things start changing.”
~Osho~
Today my intention is to participate in the dance of life. There is always something new to learn.

Being present to life

There is nothing more important than your state of consciousness in this moment.

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

Remember to take time periodically throughout the day to check in with yourself. What is your state of consciousness? Are you experiencing the present moment fully or are you lost in thought? Are you rushing from one task to another with some future goal in mind? See the present moment as the most important moment in your life, for surely it is.

When you are able to pause and enter into a state of grace, you create a conscious and purposeful alignment with life itself. As a master in the process of awakening and discovery, remember that your point of power is always in the Now. Don’t wait to live the life of your dreams.

“Simple moments of experiencing nature, when we’re really present to life, reconnect us with a basic sense of being alive. But you don’t have to go to the woods or the ocean to find nature. Nature is not some far-off place, the peace of being in nature is always at hand. It’s available even in the midst of a busy city. Feel the air. Hear the sounds. See the colors and shapes. Let all of this replenish your body. Let the world rebalance and nurture your being: recall what it feels like to be reconnected with life.”
~Ezra Bayda~

You have more power than you know. Life is responding to you. Treat it as a loving partner in your awakening.

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

Breathe, trust and let go

Act from the heart and allow circumstances to unfold as they will.

I trust in the Power that created me to protect me at all times and under all circumstances.
~ Louise Hay~

Detachment is powerful practice. It changes the energy that you emit and opens a world of infinite possibility. Before you make a choice or take an action, go within and see if you are attached to an outcome. If so, wait. Shift your perception or change your inner conversation prior to acting. When you are at peace and equally happy with any response you may receive (or no response at all), you have arrived.

It’s fine to have preferences. They create unique and enjoyable experiences; however, when preferences crystallize into absolute requirements, suffering ensues. Leave space for the Divine to surprise you. Act from the heart and allow circumstances to unfold as they will.

When you choose to walk through life with a sense of trust and adventure, you create space in which miracles, coincidences, synchronicities and new experiences abound. Everything is an opportunity to awaken.
Today my intention is to laugh at life (and myself) and choose not to be offended, attached or limited in any way.

Accept, then act

Move through the present moment with grace.

I take full responsibility for every aspect of my life.
~ Louise Hay~

Spiritual practice requires an openhearted acceptance of whatever unfolds in your experience. Resistance causes pain. Begin with the premise that everything works toward your highest good and plays a specific role in your soul’s awakening. Embrace the present moment, and through it, consciously explore the infinite facets of your infinite, Divine nature.

You can live an awakened life and stop inflicting suffering on yourself or others. It begins here and now. How will you choose to communicate today? What will you focus upon? Can you bring the best version of yourself to each and every interaction?

Empowerment comes from taking full responsibility for everything in your life. It’s not about blame or self-directed anger or frustration, rather; through acceptance, we discover that we have the ability to transform any situation by transforming ourselves.

Today my intention is to be aware that what I do not want to change is exactly what I need to change the most.

Being splendid and delightful

Don’t postpone your happiness.

I am joyously exuberant and in harmony with all of life.
~ Louise Hay~

Several years ago I worked customer service for a financial company. As you can imagine, most calls were fraught with anger, frustration or fear. Money can often trigger ego-generated issues regarding self-worth and safety so many people were in a heightened state during our transactions.

It was during this period that I discovered the value of being joyful and balanced while bringing a conscious awareness of how people easily attack or blame when frightened. In order to direct the energy of the call, I began each conversation as upbeat as possible. Many of you who have spoken with me have heard my standard response to someone asking “How are you?”…
“I am splendid and delightful!”

This was so disarming to someone who expected to hear the typical, “Fine, and how are you?” that it pulled them to a higher level because my answer took them to a new script. Over time I discovered that no matter what unfolded in my life, I was authentically and consistently splendid and delightful. My words created my reality.

It’s important to remind yourself that nothing is more important than your happiness and every challenge contains a gift. Pay attention to your words. Choose to bring joy to every conversation. Don’t waste your precious energy complaining about life or expressing fear about the future. Rather, spend the day being splendid and delightful in every interaction and see where it leads you.

Today my intention is to give and live from the heart. My desire is to experience the fulfillment of expressing Oneness and kindness with whomever crosses my path.
