Love and detachment

The mind is our greatest source of pain.

That’s Right! I hold no cherished outcome

All relationships, whether fleeting or enduring, are about working on our own growth. With this in mind, consider those you have drawn into your life and consciously choose to take responsibility for your own joy.

The awakened spirit seeks only to be love. The ego attaches to specific desires, thus creating pain and unhappiness. Oftentimes, others will appear in our lives to participate in situations that bring our awareness to old, limiting patterns, beliefs and expectations that are silently running our lives.

When we choose to utilize these moments of insight by going inward and tending to our own state of consciousness, we create space in which a transformation can occur because the ego is not engaged. As we mature spiritually, joy in relationships becomes possible.

Today my intention is to live from the heart. Openness and love can be expressed in limitless ways, extending to others, the Self, nature and more… there are always new levels to explore.

Gratitude

True spiritual practice is about opening to life.

That’s Right! I am willing to receive a miracle

“One of the most powerful tools for awakening truth in the midst of your chaotic daily life is to take frequent pauses. Simply stop for a moment and feel what your life is right now. Right now: stop reading and simply experience what this moment feels like.

You can take these pauses anytime throughout the day. Sitting down to meditate is helpful but it’s not necessary. Just settle into any moment and simply feel it. With whatever arises – anger, anxiety, restlessness – you don’t have to “let it go” because, after all, that would just be more doing, more effort. Just let it be there. Remind yourself to feel this.” ~ Ezra Bayda

Within that space of openness, it becomes possible to see the beauty that surrounds you. Gratitude lifts your energy to higher levels of consciousness and provides the opportunity to see more clearly.

Today my intention is to look forward with enthusiasm to the adventures of the day.

What matters most

The pathway to love is forgiveness. Leave the past behind and embrace the beauty of the present moment

That’s Right! I handle all my experiences with wisdom, love and ease

Living a life of grace allows us to grow from our challenges, find peace in the midst of sorrow or confusion and experience the vast, infinite healing power of the Divine. How gently can you greet and accept what is?

Awareness heals. Bring your attention to how you respond to the situations you experience. Sometimes you may be amazed at your own motivation and empowerment and others may leave you wondering what in the world just happened. Act with integrity, do your best, accept what is – this is the process of awakening.

Choose to see beyond the labels of good and bad, recognizing all experiences as opportunities to awaken. You can embrace life’s wonder and mystery as easily in the midst of traffic as you can meditating on a mountaintop.

Today my intention is to live with an open heart.

Peace with the unknown

Learn to be comfortable with the unknown

That’s Right! I know that I am loved and supported each and every step of the way

You have the ability to handle whatever comes your way. Every situation you encounter is an integral aspect of your spiritual awakening, providing opportunities to expand your consciousness and cultivate your unique gifts.

Mindfulness in the present moment allows you to drop the stories and patterns of the past or worries about the future. It frees you from attachment to end results, clinging and anxiety and opens the heart to life.

Take all the energy used to worry about the future and redirect in inward. Utilize it instead to find joy in the present moment, to create harmony and clarity and see through the illusions created by the mind. Suddenly things feel simple and safe and the soul is liberated.

“The art of living is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging on the other. It consists of being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.”
~ Alan Watts

Today my intention is to be here Now.

Inner grace and wisdom

Enlightenment is discovering the ability to bring ease and grace to the present moment.

That’s Right! Love is the bridge to everything

Change is the natural flow of life – welcome it, learn from it and let the consistency you seek come from within.

“Ultimately we need to understand that spiritual life isn’t about being safe, secure or comfortable. It’s not that we won’t sometimes feel secure in the course of our spiritual practice; we surely will. And so too will we sometimes feel insecure. Yet there is a fundamental security that develops from many years of practice – though it is a far cry from the immediately comfort we may now crave.”
~ Ezra Bayda

When you approach your life experience with humility, humor, non-attachment and compassion, greater access to your inner wisdom is assured. From this place of empowerment it becomes easier to recognize the limitless possibilities that are available to you. Allow the gentle whispers of love and wisdom to guide you.

Today my intention is to create peacefulness in my mind and trust my inner wisdom.

Fall madly in love with life

Fall madly in love with life….

That’s Right! My work brings me joy, my home is filled with love and I consciously create the life of my dreams

Let all your choices be led by joy, love or enthusiasm rather than fear. Living a passionate life allows you to find your own vibrant and expansive way to explore the unknown.

Fear makes us smaller. It creates blockages and sets limitations in place whereas joy creates a space in which a transformation can occur. If you cannot immediately change your circumstances, change your thinking. Your choice to embrace happiness and passion will draw new friendships and opportunities to you.

Choose to fall madly in love with life. Begin and end your day with gratitude. Appreciate the small things and surround yourself with those that inspire and uplift you. These conscious choices bring inner peace and satisfaction and ultimately, complete harmony with all that unfolds in your experience.

Today my intention is to bring passion and joy to all that I do. Nothing is more important than my state of consciousness.

Chakra Healing

Chakra Healing
Seek to create balance in your experience by making choices that keep your energy healthy and vibrant

That’s Right! When I create peace in my mind, I find it reflected in my life

The awakened soul seeks self-understanding and unconditional acceptance of others. All of life is a process of removing the barriers to love that we carry. These blockages get lodged in a particular chakra and disrupt the flow of ease and grace in our experience.

Healing comes from bringing awareness to areas of repeating patterns in our lives. Utilizing color, positive intention and conscious action is helpful when purposely seeking to create greater balance.

Intense emotion or reactivity is an indicator of something that is rising to the surface to be healed. Pay attention to where you feel it in the body while observing any repetitive stories created by the ego. Treat yourself with kindness and patience throughout this process. Then, utilizing the guidelines above, take conscious and healthy action.

Your purpose is to awaken to your true, infinite and divine nature. When you discover the power of acceptance and surrender and take responsibility for your own joy, miracles abound.

Today my intention is to live an inspired life. I choose to utilize every experience as a vehicle of my awakening.

Why your joy matters

Interconnected
What harms one, harms all. What heals one, heals all.

That’s Right! I handle all my experiences with wisdom, love and ease

Together we weave a tapestry of exquisite design. Each moment your unique light adds another thread to an ongoing masterpiece. Even though we are deeply intertwined, we may not fully realize the results of any given action; therefore, seek to add love to the collective energy with the knowledge that your existence serves a Divine purpose.

The world is your reflection. Strong emotional reactions indicate a need to go within and examine your personal beliefs and triggers. Even in solitude, your state of consciousness matters.  Our thoughts and words send waves of energy throughout the universe that will eventually return to us tenfold.

Love yourself. Project kindness whenever possible (and it is always possible). Pay attention to any judgment that arises and do your best to heal old wounds. This allows our collective consciousness space to expand into new realms of joy.

Today my intention is to move beyond limited human-mind thinking and align myself with the infinite Divine Mind, where all things are possible.

All that you seek is already within you

You are responsible for your own joy.

 

That’s Right! I move beyond old limitations and now express myself freely and creatively

 

Many believe that they must wait until their lives fall into place before they can be happy; however, spiritual practice calls upon us to love life even when it seems to be a mess. Doing so cultivates the ability to see challenges differently. We learn how to open to the unwanted and ultimately discover that we cannot be truly happy until life is difficult.

Choose joy in the present moment rather than waiting for some imagined future to unfold as it “should”. Loving life as it is allows us the opportunity to truly engage with it, learning a little more each and every step of the way. The path to lasting joy is saying yes to life again and again, regardless of what is presented. Weave it into the tapestry of your experience and be willing to step into the unknown.

True happiness has no opposite. It is not dependent upon anything and is the natural state of your being.

Today my intention is to remember that the point of power is always in the present moment. I choose joy Now.

All is perfect, whole and complete

Your thoughts create your experience of the world.

That’s Right! Every moment presents a wonderful opportunity to become more of who I am

Each of us walks a unique path of transformation, consistently seeking to release the things that no longer serve our growth while expanding into new levels of consciousness. It’s important to remember that you are the master of your experience. The energy you emit into the world determines the types of lessons and circumstances that will best serve your growth.

“We awaken to self-knowledge through the relentless practice of self-observation. Self-observation is not analysis; it is simply noticing what we think, how we think, what we fear, how we react, and what our strategies of behavior are. Notice, notice, notice. In observing ourselves objectively – that is, without judgment – we can begin to see clearly our fear-based ideas of how we’re supposed to be, how others are supposed to be, how life is supposed to be. In seeing through our beliefs, we penetrate the countless layers of illusion that silently run our lives.”
~ Ezra Bayda

Underneath the layers of illusion we discover ease, grace, peace and wholeness. Attend to your own state of consciousness, live authentically and embrace this moment as sacred. Your life is a dance of awakening.

Today my intention is to release any limitations based upon old perceptions and programming. I am free to embrace all the joy and abundance this world has to offer.
